I have a bad feeling that Stephen Bannon will go the way of Andrew Breitbart.
Stephen Bannon said in his first public remarks since his ouster from White House role as chief strategist that he will be “going to war” for President Donald Trump, warning that he will continue to press the populist cause against the political and corporate establishment.

“If there’s any confusion out there, let me clear it up: I’m leaving the White House and going to war for Trump against his opponents -- on Capitol Hill, in the media, and in corporate America,” Bannon said Friday in an interview with Bloomberg News hours after his departure was announced by the administration.
I am badly conflicted in my very high left libertarian sensibilities and what little I've heard from Bannon has struck me as so very odd because, on the one hand he comes off as a total pig, but on the other he seems very solidly utterly opposed to the psychopaths and wanting to rip their evil claws from the levers of power... which makes him a goddam hero of the first order, EVEN if he's a pig.

Now I don't know if Trump took such a liking to him in his piggishness that he wanted to impress him with his anti-psychopath rhetoric or if Trump meant any bit of his articulated solidarity with that... or even if he did mean it, not enough to jeopardize the lives of any of his children to get 'er done.

So Bannon may be more helpful out of the White House than he was inside it. The failures seemed to start immediately, and I bet they were all over Bannon's strenuous objections, and Trump having to smooth it over with some bullshit every single time, preferring, of course, to seem noble over actually being noble... which is regular human stuff, not any kind of unusual Trump character flaw... and exacerbated wildly after getting The Talk.

So now Bannon will have more freedom to have an effect, and if he does, well, he's dead. And the fucking harpy "liberals" who are already turning our national political scene into the worst acid trip anyone's ever experienced, will hold a party over his body... if there's even enough of it left to identify.


pipe up any time....
