I’m not necessarily saying it’s Trump’s plan, but Bannon’s. Something just smells off this time around. It doesn’t feel like the other firings. If he comes guns ablazing against Trump on Breitbart, then I’m wrong, but I really don’t think that’s gonna happen (although I hope to god it does.)
I think he’s accomplishing a breakdown of societal and presidential norms. The things Pence would do could be undone.
I keep asking why the fuck I’ve been cursed to live in interesting times.

It is the Summer of Hate…
I agree, but worry. Sometimes you just have to flip the next card. A statement must be made that we will not have this.
I’m with you on this, pulykamell. For all his Breitbart colleagues are claiming they’re pissed off, Bannon himself said he’s going to war against Trump’s enemies.
But speaking of stuff that smells off, what’s really going on with this Camp David meeting? It’s supposed to be about Afghanistan with some speculation that they’re going to turn it all over to whatever-the-fuck-Blackwater-is-called these days. If so, why did Pence have to cut short his trip and cancel a couple of stateside events to attend? Does the VP really have to be present at the thing? Or is this meeting really about something else?
For that matter, what Executive branch decisions need the presence of the VP?
I know it’s farfetched but I’m wondering if this isn’t some weird “hand over the reins of power” thing. Because then Bannon’s departure might have other reasons.
After Bannon was gone, Eric Prince was disinvited to the meeting. So I guess we’re not on the road to extreme-profit-war-making yet.
Awesome. Permission to steal?
It’s.
Just.
Another.
Vacation.
That’s what he does. He allows things to crumble to pieces and runs away.
Painful it might be to say this, if the former has the temperament of a wet cat who’s probably, oh, seven trillion times more untrustworthy with the nuclear codes, I think I might have to mordantly resign with the latter.

The DJT train moves so fast that it is just one outrage after another but…
In what world is “Would you support postponing the election?” any kind of question that would be asked? In America?
I am starting to think that Trump voters have to answer for their actions.
This is one of the better typos.

Robert Costa of the Washington Post/Washington Week was on PBS Newshour tonight talking about today’s departure of that ginblossom-y sack of bilious carrion puke: mentioning Kelly’s new system of order, the alarm in Bannon’s crowd that the WH is moving in a centrist direction, SB taking too much credit away from Trump during last year’s election campaign (DT was frustrated that Bannon’s profile got too high), starting a new media venture with with that cagey Mercer fuck, and that although SB knew he was on thin ice for quite some time, he was able to maintain his power because “…he was an echo of Trump’s instincts…he was with President Trump in spirit - that’s why he remained for so long.” (RC)
And it was for that final reason, RC said, why that dissolute, evil bastard didn’t get sacked as soon as the others did, and not because of any influence he might have had.
I’m a little :dubious: about that final contention, considering that I’d bet you many double-secret-cyanide pills that it was Bannon who counselled DT to double-down on his Charlottesville bon mots, prompting what surely would’ve been a woodshed tour courtesy one Mr. Kelly. RC said he was getting everything from insiders, so I’m not gonna go leg-rassle him over that one.

That’s the thing I love about partisan politics, man - I get older, but the emotional age remains the same. Just Keep Feelin’.

This ain’t the garden of Eden
There ain’t no angels above
And things ain’t like what they used to be
And this ain’t the summer of love
