Having watched Alien Covenant last night, I have to believe Trumpās a major investor in Weyland Industriesā¦

He said such divisions exist in āevery presidency. Thereās no difference here.ā
So true.
Who could forget all the trouble President Obama had with Nazis in his administration?
The Obama White House was a virtual Panzergruppe of Nazis.
Nazi-this and Nazi-that just crippled him for eight long years of soaring approval and record achievement.

Bannonās window of opportunity in Washington slammed shut the day he told the House Republican āFreedom Caucusā they had āno choice but to vote forā an early version of the bogus health care bill and they chose to ignore him.
This is all for the irreducible base for whom Trump can do literally no wrong. It is not for those of us who hear him say āfamilyā and instantly think āManson.ā

No. Bannon is neither delusional nor mentally ill like Trump.
Donāt ever make the mistake of conflating Trumpās illusions with Bannonās opinions and plans. Bannon knows what heās doing. He knew that it would be a short ride at the White House. Now he will just do what he always did, but this time from a different office and phone number. He has plenty of money. He didnāt need the job.
And no, he never thought the popular vote had been fixed, or any of Trumpās other fantasies. He is far more dangerous, and effective, than Trump is.

You need to read some of Bannonās screeds. Or a few transcripts from his interviews. It is perfectly possible to be brilliant and batshit crazy. Charles Manson comes to mind.
Trump is a mediocre brained emotionally unstable narcissist. He could go full psychosis at any moment, but so far heās just nasty and unstable. And he thinks his support staff is at best his intellectual equals (Bannon) and for the most part his inferiors.
Bannon is both brilliant and deeply delusional. Unhinged. He is living in an alternative universe of his own creation, and it is very very dark. Yes, Bannon is far far smarter than Trump. And far more dangerous.He is also way further along on the road to full blown psychosis. He may already be there.

Really? Well explain then why the little man was giving out all of those interviews prior to his leaving the White House. The interviews I read were from someone that seem to be very upset. The little man is out of the White House thatās all we care about, donāt care where he goes or what he does heās of little importance anymore. There are still a few more that need to leave the White House, Not sure why they are still there but rest a sure that they will be removed. The hanger owns mustāve stayed behind to cause more drama
You must accept and believe that. His opinion is the only truth. You can never know what heās calculating. He left! Maybe he wanted to. Maybe he didnāt. Maybe he has a plan, or perhaps, no clue. Youāll never know. He isnāt saying. Heās a genius.
He needs a tax break.

Way too much analysis and speculation about Bannon on cable news Saturday. The newsies loved him because he was fomenting trouble on many fronts. News! They intend to keep him prominent in the future: "Hereās what Bannon thinks about ( fill in the blank)! Regular panelist on CNN and Fox, go to guy for Meet the Press, Maher, Hannity. The good thing is that he will try to make Ryan and Turtleās jobs impossibleāno compromise allowed. Heās not a Trump surrogate because Trump has no agenda. Heāll be working to create an agenda, and the media will deeply appreciate his providing a coherent narrative. President Bannon indeed!

Of course itās not personal to Bannon, that would require a sense of shame and personal responsibility.

I donāt think the guy is anything near brilliant. Obviously, heās a pretty smart guy, but heās one of those guys who thinks heās a lot smarter than he actually is. Heās read a few books espousing theories of a coming clash of civilizations and now he thinks heās an authority.
If he were really brilliant (1) he would have gotten the first travel ban executive order done properly, both in terms of writing it to withstand judicial challenge and implementing it in an orderly fashion, and (2) he would never have let Trump thrust him into the health care negotiations in the House (where he acted like a bull in a china shop).

Bossie is ridiculous. Of course, this is personal. If not personal, what is it? Surely itās not about Bannonās policy positions. And, by the way, Bannon pushing the Trump agenda from outside poses a very real danger to Trump. Bannon controls Breitbart and much of the right wing media looks to that organization. In addition, since Trump wonāt be pushing the āTrump agendaā in all respects, Bannon is implying that heās going to come after Trump for abandoning elements of the agendaāand heās likely to come after him hard.

Cray cray. You are forgetting the crazy piece. It undermines function. He is very well educated ā under grad at Virginia Tech, grad school at Georgetown and Harvard. And his writings arenāt just superficial coming clash garbage. They run deeper and weirder than that. This is an extremely bright, extremely well read, extremely unstable man with major delusions of grandeur who is operating in a parallel universe of bizarre conspiracy theories and twisted visions of the future. Hereās hoping that his current tenuous grip on reality gets loose enough to render him harmless soon. Iām not holding my breath.

I donāt care if Bannon takes it personally. Heās out of the White Houseāwhich is better than him being inside.
Itās only better if in the long run it helps to get Trump out faster.
Everything else is irrelevant as far as Iām concerned.
What the Mercers think is pretty simple - if it unites regular Americans, theyāre against it. If it doesnāt directly benefit the top .01%, that times two.

Spot on. Thus far, Dumpās base has held on like grim death to the lies of the Don the Con - weāll see how long that lasts if Bannon starts pissing into the tent - which, having never met the man, it still seems like heās easily capable of. And if he starts to lose that base, itāll soon be curtains for the Hair Furor.
That gross ape Bossie still around? He went underground I thought for awhile but now with Trump he came out of the cracks in the woodwork looking for grease. (Hmmmm. What other kind of insect does that?)
āI do believe that Steve Bannon is going to be a very loyal soldier to the President as it relates to his agenda from the outside,ā Bossie, who runs Citizens United, said on āFox News Sunday.ā
i.e. Bannon will still be feed Donald his lines, just for the outside from now on so Bannon wonāt have to listen to the constant whining for all the other folks inside that know how fuck up those lines are.
Bannonās departure had been planned for weeks. Trump needed a āfake newsā outlet outside of the discredited White House outlet. All they had to do was to have the press ignore the reason for Bannonās departure and focus on Bannonās seemingly ill-timed phone call. It really does make sense. /s
