Stop giving Bannon so much credit.

Media talking heads and reporters have to stop painting that crypto-fascist as some sort of political mastermind. He’s not fucking Darth Vader, nor is he the least bit scary in his ill fitting dingy black shirts and Old Navy khakhis. On his best day, he’s a shit stirring bomb thrower who is only marginally more clever than the orange puppet at the end of his shit stained hand. That drunken asshole could not be more transparent than the empty bottle he crawls into every night.

Stop trying to make more of him than there really is. Stop it right the fuck now.

He’s probably not a political mastermind. But he’s only got to outthink Donald Trump.

You know who else was a shit stirring bomb thrower who is only marginally more clever than the orange puppet at the end of his shit stained hand?

Jim Henson?

That’s a VERY low bar.

He propelled himself to basically be the most powerful person in the world, and did so through political trickery. He may not be all that smart, but he is powerful, and he is the guy in control. Every time Trump disgraces himself, Bannon only gets more powerful.

No. No, I don’t.

The Human Ton and Handy, but green and roles reversed is closest I can think of.

There’s a preview and transcript of Charlie Rose’s interview with Bannon on 60 minutes.

I’m interested in seeing the full interview this Sunday in order to say “I told you so!”. But in seeing the previews of this drunken sod, it’s amazing to me that anyone is taking his incompetent buffoon seriously. He’s nothing. He’s got nothing. He says nothing worth hearing. He’s every Austin Powers/Get Smart/Johnny English villain rolled into one. And not even the main one. He’s the main villains incompetent and expendable henchman who dies with that sudden stupid look of realization on his face before exploding or being crushed in his own failed trap.

Bannon, you’re almost as big a clown as your worthless orange puppet.

That must make him feel bad.

You think so?.. Maybe he’ll stop crawling out of his bottle every morning.

Well, the thing is people in power, like Trump, ( and to some extent his erstwhile Svengali, although he buggered off back to Breitbart to continue the armed insurrection of words only from the mean streets, forced out by those mean old WASPs in the GOP, who have been engaged in a titanic struggle with the Breitbartians for the Soul of Donald Trump ), don’t really care what is said about them by those not in power.

Whatever happens, we have got. The Maxim gun, and they have not.

I have watched morning news programs covering live tweets from the Great Orange Menace in response to criticism of his competence.

If the GOM doesn’t care about what’s said about him, why does he need twice daily updates of how wonderful and handsome he is?

If the GOM isn’t a thin skinned snowflake, why does he methodically block anyone posting a negative comment to his twitter account?

Oh, and I’ve noticed Bannon has decided to shower, shave and put on a little makeup to hide his deteriorating visage.

OK, I’ll stop.

One down, 6,999,999,999 to go!

Beers on the wall…??

I think him fully capable of providing these reassurances in his tweets.

I don’t know what makes you think that. He strikes me as weak and insecure.

That’s gotta be the lowest bar in the world. You CAN’T set the bar any lower than that.

I keep hoping I will read a headline about Bannon suddenly dying because his liquor soaked liver exploded.

How about the ability to out-think Sarah Palin?

Did I win?
