White House feudJared Kushner says Steve Bannon threatened to break him in half during a feud between the fellow White House advisers to former President Donald Trump.
The former presidential son-in-law portrays Bannon as a toxic presence in the West Wing who relished interoffice chaos in his forthcoming memoir Breaking History.
Jared, right now, youre the one undermining the presidents agenda, Bannon said, according to Kushners book. And if you go against me, I will break you in half.
Dont f--- with me, Bannon added, according to excerpts of the book revealed by CNN.

Was he drunk?

(77,323 posts)I feel just awful about that.
I wonder how Mr. Khashoggi's family feels about that or the friends & family of the 14 million
who died from C-19 or were unable to get treatment for other disease because the hospitals
were filled up with C-19 cases?

(82,849 posts)Or not. Just seal the door on the thunder dome and walk away.
Seems to me, though, that if Rumplethinskin Bannon is threatening you, just keep one of those mini-bottles of booze in your pocket, and toss it to the side to distract him.

(47,623 posts)They should put all those assholes in the same cell. I'd also hesitate breaking Jared in half, that might create two of them.

(76,706 posts)CN gas & Sarin are both toxic.
One is worse.
Bannon is sarin.

(41,634 posts)... in a couple of his books.
Michael Wolff had access to everyone on Chump's WH staff for a brief time. But Wolff spent more time interviewing Steve Bannon than just about anyone else. Of course Bannon had his reasons because he knew Wolff was writing a book that would become a bestseller. Whether Wolff ever got confirmation from other sources ... well ... that remains a large question. There's lots o' gossip in Wolff's books and not much proof or documentation.
I think Kushner avoided talking with Wolff because Jared always planned to write his own book when things settled down. Without a doubt, the constant battle between Bannon and Kushner is old news. And I expect this book to be as one-sided as Wolff's.

(25,048 posts)Bannon was all talk on the courthouse steps but wouldnt testify in his own defense. In the courtroom, he sat silently as he had his ass banded to him.
Bannon is NOT a tough guy. Hes a putz and a schoolyard bully. I hope he gets the maximum jail time.

(12,904 posts)It does sound quite toxic, though. I have never been threatened with being broken in half at work.

(115,406 posts)Uh-huh.
Jared was trying to keep him on the right track but people like Bannon were toxic and kept him from doing his "job". Uh-huh.

(18,060 posts)had tried to "break him in half" I suspect Loose Cannon would have been the one broken in half, Loose Cannon is fat, out of shape and would probably be winded after about 2 swings while Jared is younger, much more fit.

(9,148 posts)I hate boxing and professional wrestling and all that crap, but I'd pay to see them go at each other in a chainlink box.
MarineCombatEngineer
(18,060 posts)I mean, just look at the guy, he's fat, out of shape, probably gets winded easily, whereas Jared is much younger, fitter, can move faster, I don't think it would last very long.
Sky Jewels
(9,148 posts)and crush him like a bug. And then hopefully the exertion of exercise would take Bannon out. ... Win-Win.

(18,060 posts)a perfect beginning and ending.
