I'm Rooting for Steve Bannon

[louis c]

I can think of a couple of historical analogies to come into play when thinking of the firing of Steve Bannon by Trump.

The first one is the old adage, "the enemy of my enemy is my friend." Although both Bannon and Trump are despicable characters, certainly Trump is in a stronger position to do us harm. Although I could never consider Bannon my "friend", in this instance he's more like Churchill's Stalin to Trump as Hitler.

the second, and more cogent historical analogy is an old saying attributed to former President Lyndon Johnson. "I'd rather have him inside of the tent, pissing out, than outside of the tent, pissing in."

Donald Trump, get ready for a hell of a long, deep, wet golden shower.

Pass the pop corn.

1. The true aspects of cause and effect remain to be seen.

The only reality of this Administration is that it is predictably unpredictable.

It's as if a fart went inward, instead of outward.

2. CNN is reporting that the editor of Briebart just tweeted out "WAR"

4. Well, that could get interesting!

If they intend on helping to ruin *Rump, not sure if that is a bad thing.

But, I imagine there will be numerous other consequences.

I pray that would not mean any bloodshed.

At least all of this hubbub has brought out into the light of day, a lot of the racist and divisive individuals who call themselves Americans.

Now we can see who there are in our communities, and possibly hope for a positive outcome somehow.

I want to show understanding and compassion first, but that did not work with the Nazis in WWII.

A festering boil will always burst eventually, and either heal, or become infected further.

As word got out that Bannon was leaving the White House, Breitbart writer and editor Joel Pollak tweeted "#WAR," a well-worn line made famous by the site's founder. The sentiment was echoed by former Breitbart staffer Ben Shapiro, who wrote that Bannon's "preparing for the possibility of war with Trump," calling his old boss, who he has frequently criticized, "deeply vengeful, and supremely ambitious."

"Bannon’s play for Trump’s populist and alt-right bases will be partially successful," Shapiro writes. "Outside the White House, Bannon can be more powerful than he was inside: if Trump doesn’t do what Bannon likes, Bannon will declare that he was ousted because the globalist insiders have taken over, and Trump has sold out the base. Bannon will attempt to claim the leadership of the movement he believes he built."

Asked about the possibility of a coming war with Drudge, longtime Trump adviser Roger Stone, who in recent months turned on Bannon, said "Bring it on!"

"Both Drudge and InfoWars dwarf Breitbart," he said.

Stone, who has taken shots at how Bannon looks and dresses, took another shot Friday.

"Overall sartorial quality of the White House staff just improved dramatically," he said.
