Bannon had one hell of a run...

[Kathianne]

That was quick. NYT is saying Bannon is out now.

Won't fix what Trump has done regarding Charlottesville, but not bad news.

[Kathianne]

Maybe?

Axios: Bannon Firing Decision “Imminent”; Drudge: “Hell Of A Run”; Update: NYT Says Trump’s Decided

ED MORRISSEYPosted at 12:41 pm on August 18, 2017

Color me skeptical about an “imminent” end to Steve Bannon’s White House career, even with Jonathan Swan’s normally good antennae. Swan reports at Axios that an internal review of leaks and of Bannon’s activities has concluded, and that John Kelly will make the go/no-go decision on firing Donald Trump’s political strategist. Whether or not Bannon survives the review process, Swan hears from a source close to him that people need to get ready for “Bannon the barbarian”:

...

Update: The New York Times has two sources that say Bannon’s definitely on his way out — but time and manner are still up in the air:

President Trump has told senior aides that he has decided to remove Stephen K. Bannon, the embattled White House chief strategist who helped Mr. Trump win the 2016 election, according to two administration officials briefed on the discussion.


The president and senior White House officials were debating when and how to dismiss Mr. Bannon. The two administration officials cautioned that Mr. Trump is known to be averse to confrontation within his inner circle, and could decide to keep on Mr. Bannon for some time.

In other words, it may not happen at all. But if it does, Bannon may be willing to provide Trump political cover:

As of Friday morning, the two men were still discussing Mr. Bannon’s future, the officials said. A person close to Mr. Bannon insisted the parting of ways was his idea, and that he had submitted his resignation to the president on Aug. 7, to be announced at the start of this week, but it was delayed in the wake of the racial unrest in Charlottesville, Va.

Drudge and Swan both have pretty good antennae, so I’m less skeptical … but still not convinced.

If true, this will only embolden the leftists.

Interesting that it mentions leaks, and I don't think it's related to that impromptu interview the other day.

For days I've been reading that Bannon was responsible for many of the leaks, which always seemed likely. I hope that if it comes to pass, it begins to end the chaos that has plagued the administration. I doubt it, but I do hope.

If true, weird:

How will this work out? If Bannon plots revenge:

...

Bannon “proudly” told a reporter at the 2016 Republican National Convention “we’re the platform for the alt right.” In the same interview in Mother Jones magazine, he denied that the alt right is inherently racist or anti-Semitic, although a vast majority of people affiliated with that movement hold racist and anti-Semitic views.
...

One of the folks who embraced and named the 'alt-right.'

Boy this could actually get ugly

Breitbart to wage 'war' with Trump over Bannon firing: 'It's now a Democrat White House'
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/wo...-a7901391.html

Amazingly I would be on Trump's side if the other side is Breitbart and Bannon.

[aboutime]

So, once again. People like petey come to show their misery by exercising their WISHFUL THINKING that Bannon would become....just like them, and stab the President in the back.

That's what is wrong with the LEFT. They have no honor, or respect for anyone who isn't THEM!

Do you even keep up with this shit or do you just like attacking me? Joel Pollak, a senior editor-at-large at Breitbart, tweeted "#WAR,". Bannon is expected to return to Breitbart. I'm not saying it's going to happen that he attacks Trump, but there are signs. So now go fuck yourself and actually read something.

"Ben Shapiro, a former editor at Breitbart who has been critical of Bannon and the website since he left, wrote in a column, "Bannon is deeply vengeful, and supremely ambitious. He has already held the most powerful job he will ever have -- unless, of course, his new job is to destroy Trump from the outside.""

More than you will ever know. No need to dignify anything to you since, Like Trump, everything I dare to say here to you, will be turned around into your hateful, failings.
