My, aren't we testy tonight? And here I thought we were going to be reasonable.

So, other than Trump picking him to advise, you have no good reason to have gotten all giddy by tossing the exclamation point on the thread title.

Figured.

Witches were also burnt in this murky tale you speak.

If changing things is his game then changing something that's not working isn't something you should criticize. Shouldn't it be exciting?

I'm sure this made sense to you while you were typing it, but I'm failing to interpret it correctly.

Do you think the strategy, path, and message is better with or without Bannon?

Yes or No?

I'm going with this might be a good thing but I have yet to hear what might be a good thing about his job performance.

Don't forget the two slit wrists and the sword in the belly. all of which look suspiciously as if they were self-inflicted.

With Bannon, strategy and path better. Message worse because it gets drowned out by Bannon=Nazi.

I think all Presidents need some conflicting opinions and resulting heated discussions from their staff and advisers. I don't think it's healthy for any Administration to have a groupthink mindset when it comes to policy. From what I understand, Bannon gave a different viewpoint on several items instead of just going with the group. That's never a bad thing.

That's never a bad thing? Sound like an Anarchist when we are talking about the government,

Someone giving an alternate opinion and/or advice on matters of policy, direction and message is anarchy?

I'm not sure our definitions of anarchy are going to coincide.

Look, as much as I'd love to have Trump drain the swamp and burn the remains of the Washington establishment to the ground (figuratively of course), he's going to need a skid greaser and hand shaker to go to Congress. I think Kelly will have his hands full with running the White House, but Trump needs an "insider" giving him alternate advice on a great many things as well as making the back door deals to Congress.

And you think Bannon is right for the job? You think it was a mistake to get rid of him? Make your case.

Way too many people celebrating like they won the lottery. Now the question is:

"What changes, if anything?"

I mean, seriously. Bannon wasn't making policy, hasn't gone bat**** crazy like Mooch did, just advised the POTUS. So, why all the crazy cheering over him being gone? Small moral victory? It's like each time a staff change occurs, there is all sorts of celebration from the left like it hurts Trump. You don't feel like Kelly is going to give some good advice on someone to bring in? Would you prefer a lot more Washington insiders giving Trump advice?

I brought up Hillary because it seems like somehow, the left thinks if enough people get removed, they'll eventually make it to Hillary in the chain of command. Yeah, they're that stupid. For crying out loud, Maxine Waters called Ben Carson a white supremacist today and got cheered for it. That's how stupid the left is over this Administration.

As I mentioned in another thread, Bannon said in an interview over a year ago that Breitbart is the platform of the Alt Right. I'm not sorry for not wanting the Alt Right in the White House bending the President's ear anymore than either of us would want some hypothetical person that ran the platform for Antifa bending a future President's ear. For God's sake, is it too much to ask for a rational conservative right now? I'll not try to speak for everyone, but that's all I want. Everybody in the Charlottesville thread *****ing about antifa in the streets, but in an effort to 'drain the swamp' with one swing we've got that same chaos in the government. He's such a ****ing clown, either nobody will subject themselves to working with him anymore, you get some coat tail riding ass like Scaramucci, or they crack under the pressure of defending this goat rodeo. He's surrounded by Generals now because they've lived a strict chain of command life, love America, and so they're willing and able to put up with his **** more than the average person, IMO. We'll see how long that lasts. If he runs them off too, I think all of Washington will turn on him, party lines be damned.

It's all of you that keep bringing up Hillary. I've literally not seen one single person, at least in any threads I've read through, even insinuate the possibility of her somehow becoming President. Wishing she was, yeah I've seen that, but everybody knows it's not going to happen. Christ, that dead horse y'all keep beating has been sleeping well in its heavenly pasture for several months now. And before y'all start calling me a libtard Dem or some other eloquent names, voted Johnson. A **** sandwich is still a **** sandwich regardless if it's on white or wheat, so I decided to dine on assorted condiment packets for the next 4 years.

Is anyone supposed to take you seriously with that screen name?

Which doesn't answer the question.

What changes? What advice was given by Bannon that was detrimental to the United States?

It's symbolic. Having Bannon be in the WH was the equivalent of one of Obama's top advisors being an editor from Mother Jones.

Good grief, I never said he specifically was right or wrong. But you still have yet to come up with a reason for "this is a good thing and I'm happy about it" reason.

Don't put the ball in my court. You're the one that started the thread with exclamation point like we all should be excited.
