Bannon out!

[golfballs]

I'm sure Newt would love to be hired as the guy who will be in charge of rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.

Only 7.4 years until it goes under

Good. Hopefully General Kelly continues to purge all the "populist" from the administration.

Maybe Kelly can assume the role of Chief Strategist.

Firing Bannon isn't going to solve anything. This is a top down problem.

If you say so. Looks like Newt has already weighed in, doesn't sound like he agrees.

Maybe Bannon was a leaker.

You going to be one of those guys in the recruiting forums that shouts "we were too deep there, we didn't want him anyhow, " when a five star decommits?

You've lost a lot on your fastball these past couple of months.

He really only had variants of a screwball.

what is happening. The generals are winning the White House war. I don't know why any general (or ANYONE, for that matter) would work for Trump--but Kelly (and McMaster) clearly want to instill some competence and integrity into this idiotic administration, and Trump seems to be listening. Neither of them like Bannon at all. I'll bet that that bald-headed weasel, Stephen Miller, and Ghorka (sp) will soon be out themselves.

Bannon was never the evil puppet-master boogie man the media made him out to be. He came on after Trump's campaign was already launched - it's not like Trump changed in any way at that point. Also, Bannon's policies are not far out of the mainstream - in fact, if anything his views on taxes and trade are left-wing. The media just tried to make anyone in the Trump camp out to be radical "white nationalists". The media of course are dishonest scum. I hope that his departure is not merely to try an attempt to placate the left and establishment GOP because it won't work. They will never be satisfied and will just move on to Stephen Miller, Gorka, and anyone else.

Hopefully this doesn't in some way undermine internal support for policies that Trump campaigned on, and cave to the likes of Kushner and Cohn.

Agreed. Continuing to have staff turnover makes it difficult to have continuity over the long term. The dems know there's blood in the water and are now searching for their next victim currently on the WH staff. Who's next?

Don't care what side you're on. This is funny.

What a disaster. This whole presidency has been a political reality show. SMH.

I wonder how long it will take the NAACP to chime in about the evil Andrew Jackson painting on the wall of the Oval Office and protest it's removal?

Oh, sorry, wrong thread.

I liked his comment about Bannon, saying he's a good man, a good friend, he's not a racist, he's a good man.

If the president has to inform people you're not a racist, you're a racist

Unless you've been called a racist by the news media repeatedly.

 

[Rasputin_Vol]

No being a "populist" means you're a dumbass not a "racist."

A populist is a generic term. Sometimes, popular opinion is on the right side of the issues, sometimes, they are not.

 

[1972 Grad]

It's meaningless really.

He's in good company. 62 million racists voted for Trump.

You do know the claims that Bannon is racist comes from his ex-wife's divorce court claims. To believe any of that is to be a total cuck fool.

That's all the evidence there is of that. Just that. Nothing else. Also, how do you feel about buying some swamp land down here?

 

[volinbham]

Will be fun to watch all the Bannon haters suddenly cheer him on when he dishes dirt on the WH. He'll be the new hero of the screechers

I bet Bannon did Nazi this coming.

Trump was fuhrer-ous at him.
