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.
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.
Mr. Bannon had clashed for months with other senior West Wing advisers and members of the president’s family.
Wait, Bannon submitted his resignation on August the 7th?
Does that mean his weird whack-a-doodle interview with the American Prospect reporter was just a way to force Trump's hand and make him accept the resignation?
Now we just need to start betting on how long it will be before Breitbart starts slamming Donald Trump once Bannon returns as its editor in chief.
My guess is almost immediately. But only subtly at first.
Update: Here's an interesting tweet from Robert Costa.
Bannon saw both Palin and Trump as figureheads for pushing his racist, hate filled, isolationist agenda.
And he was right, either one would have been just as easy as the other to manipulate.Looking back at my notes from Aug 22, 2011, it's clear Bannon saw Palin as a way of elevating his ideas... and later saw Trump the same way.— Robert Costa (@costareports) August 18, 2017

DeletePhiladelphia Mayor Michael Nutter pointed out on Wednesday that President Donald Trump may never recover from his remarks this week defending people who marched with white supremacists to protest the removal of a Civil War statue in Charlottesville, Virginia.
ReplyDeleteDuring a segment on CNN about Trump's controversial comments, Nutter argued that the Trump administration "can't get around this."
"You can't ignore this, you're not going to kind of sweep this away and make a statement and it's kind of over," he insisted. "I don't think the president at this point, because of what he has said -- and I go back to the tape that has played a number of times -- he's talking about the 'good people' who were in that march. And I can't say the things that they were saying but we all get the point."
"He was so angry yesterday -- combative," the mayor continued. "When I see him, you hear the marchers -- if there's any equivalence, it's between them. He did everything but have a torch in his hand yesterday. The way he was expressing himself, the true Donald Trump."
Nutter concluded: "And so, he has no ability to get us past this. We talk about leaders, other Republicans -- it's not enough anymore to be quietly upset, privately upset, complaining to your staff if you're an elected official that you're really upset with the president. This is a seminal moment. This is the time for leadership."

Trump TV broadcasted defense of Trump’s Nazi sympathizing into millions of American homes
ReplyDeleteThe propaganda network using public airwaves to promote Trump went into action, defending his sympathetic comments toward white supremacists.
The public airwaves are being used to transmit and amplify a broadcast excusing Donald Trump’s comments sympathizing with white supremacists, and millions of American homes are seeing it.
A video commentary from former Trump campaign staffer Boris Epshteyn aired on multiple stations owned by Sinclair Broadcast Group across the country. In the piece, Epshteyn whitewashed Trump’s comments on the terrorist attack in Charlottesville, Virginia, acting as if the tepid, pre-written comments by Trump made nearly three days after the attack were his only statements on the issue.
“The sky is blue,”Epshteyn said. “Does the president have to repeat that fact, day in and day out for us to believe it? No, he does not.”
Epshteyn then complained that Trump is being criticized for his response, but did not admit that the criticism comes from Trump’s claim that “many sides” are responsible for the violence and his initial refusal to condemn white supremacists.
Epshteyn also ignored Trump’s disastrous press availability where he offered a full-throated defense of white supremacists, while excusing his failure to condemn their actions.
Epshteyn also invoked the shooting of Rep. Steve Scalise as evidence that the “left” is just as violent as the right. But he did not tell viewers that Democrats and progressives did not make excuses for the Scalise shooting, unlike the extremists, including Trump, who have made excuses for the murder of Heather Heyer.
The commentary from Epshteyn is forced on local stations by the conservative bosses at Sinclair, and designated a “must run” during local news broadcasts.
During the presidential campaign, Sinclair reportedly negotiated an agreement that in exchange for access to Trump, the network would soften its coverage of his campaign. In repayment for this treatment, Trump had the FCC invoke a loophole that allowed Sinclair to buy more television stations and increase its reach across America.
Sinclair now operates as a Trump TV-style propaganda arm of the Trump administration, which along with its online Circa subsidiary, spreads a pro-Trump conservative message in line with the company’s previous work attacking Democrats and progressives.
Providing cover for Trump’s pro-white supremacist message is simply the latest attack that Sinclair has launched against the truth and decency.

Epshteyne is that ass who supposedly left the drumpf campaign last March due to "serabies" a disease that doesn't exist.
DeleteI thought 'serabies' was an insult that referred to Andrew Surabian, who worked for the campaign. The 2 dudes didn't like each other.
DeleteSerabies is from the first trump TV day. Yea, it was epshtyne who said it. there's a youtube vid.
DeleteEpshtein is another one that has to go.
DeleteBannon’s departure does not change the fundamentally racist posture of the administration. As long as Donald Trump remains, racism and hate continue to reside in the Oval Office. Getting rid of Bannon simply rearranges the furniture, nothing more.
ReplyDeletehttp://shareblue.com/bannon-out-top-nazi-sympathizer-in-the-white-house-remains/
Yep. If this latest firing/quitting/whatever is supposed to be a replacement for a sincere apology to Americans for defending neoNazis, FAIL.
DeleteI does remove one racist from his ear. The allows other, more even keeled heads to prevail.
DeleteWhile Trump is a racist and a bigot and a misogynist, et al., he is also easily manipulated by the last one to talk to him. If that is Kelly or Jared or Ivanka rather than Bannon, Miller or Gorka, Trump can be handled and appear more sane. That's whty they need right now. The voices calling for Trump to be removed are louder and the use of the "nutcase" clause is closer. They need to pull back and make Trump look sane again. Tone it down. Bannon can't do that. Miller and Gorka might be smart enough to bide their time but they also need to go.

Earlier this week, the President’s Manufacturing Advisory Council and Strategy & Policy Forum disbanded after its CEOs stepped down in protest. On Thursday, Trump gave up on creating a similar council on infrastructure. On Friday morning, the President’s Committee on the Arts and Humanities folded as well, sending Trump a harsh letter proclaiming that it “would have made us complicit” to ignore his “hateful rhetoric.”
ReplyDeleteBut it did not end there. Vice has reported that members of the Digital Economy Board of Advisors are now also resigning.
One member, Markle Foundation CEO Zoe Baird, rebuked Trump over Charlottesville in her resignation letter.
“It is the moral responsibility of our leaders to unite Americans by respecting the diversity and inclusion that enables our country to generate new opportunity and celebrate freedom,” she wrote. “In order to preserve these cherished values, there must never be equivocation in denouncing hate, bigotry, violence and racism.
One by one, the Trump advisory boards are all pulling out. They have decided that this administration cannot be redeemed.

Deletehttps://www.cbsnews.com/news/arts-and-humanities-committee-members-resign-in-protest-of-trump/
"In a fiery letter delivered to the White House on Friday, 16 members of the President's Committee on the Arts and the Humanities announced their resignations in protest of the Trump administration.
The letter drew issue with the president's blaming of "both sides" in the injuries and deaths at the violent protests in Charlottesville, Virginia, last weekend.
"Reproach and censure in the strongest possible terms are necessary following your support of the hate groups and terrorists who killed and injured fellow Americans in Charlottesville," the letter by the committee members stated. "The false equivalencies you push cannot stand."
Members involved with the letter, according to CBS News' Julianna Goldman, are mostly holdovers from the Obama administration, and they were set to leave eventually. Nevertheless, the language contained in the five-paragraph missive is strong in its condemnation of the president. The first letter of each paragraph, when combined, spells out "RESIST.""

Steve Bannon is out. That’s good, but the problem is still Donald Trump.
ReplyDelete...Coming after the wave of controversy over the events in Charlottesville and Trump’s embrace of the cause of celebrating the confederacy, one might be tempted to view this as some kind of recalibration that could result in a change in the administration’s outlook toward matters of race.
Don’t be fooled.
...Given this extraordinary record, no sane person believes that it’s some kind of accident that all manner of neo-Nazis and white supremacists have felt emboldened by Trump’s campaign, his election victory, and his presidency to become more vocal and demonstrative than they ever have before.
Indeed, if you ask them that’s exactly what they’ll tell you. They regularly praise and celebrate President Trump, and say that his words and actions show that they no longer need to hide their ideology of hate. As David Duke said in Charlottesville last weekend, “We are going to fulfill the promises of Donald Trump. That’s what we believed in. That’s why we voted for Donald Trump, because he said he’s going to take our country back.”
So Steve Bannon may be gone, but we shouldn’t let that fool us into thinking that the Trump administration has undergone some kind of transformation.

DeleteTrump is a cancer on the presidency
ReplyDeleteOn Monday, I declared that President Trump had neither the moral core nor the moral authority to respond properly to the openly racist horror that took place in Charlottesville. I said flat out that I didn’t believe him when he mouthed words that fell short of what was required for a moment so pivotal. Trump’s denunciation of “the KKK, neo-Nazis, white supremacists and other hate groups” later that day was as forced as the confessions from the Central Park Five.
On Tuesday, he proved my gut feeling right.

Go ahead, topple the monuments to the Confederacy. All of them.
ReplyDelete...Our nation faces a fork in the road and a decision to either continue down the same path of systemic racism or to confront our past honestly. It will increasingly fall upon everyday people to do the right thing. With the same spirit of those New Yorkers who toppled the statue of King George, recognizing that people had the power and ability to rule themselves without a king, it’s time to topple all monuments to the Confederacy. And as debate intensifies over dismantling monuments and systems of white supremacy, there must be equal energy and attention given to discussion of what we are actively building in their place, recognizing that this nation isn’t free unless and until all who reside here are free and have equal rights — not as an ideal, but as a lived reality.

The Trump administration’s three ‘court Jews’ disgrace themselves
ReplyDeleteWhat Gary Cohn, Steven Mnuchin and Jared Kushner did this week — or, rather, what they didn’t do — is a shanda.
They’ll know what that means, but, for the uninitiated, shanda is Yiddish for shame, disgrace. The three men, the most prominent Jews in President Trump’s administration, could have spoken out, to say that those who march with neo-Nazis are not “very fine people,” as their boss claims. Mnuchin, the treasury secretary, and Cohn, the chief economic adviser, were actually standing with Trump when he said it. They said nothing.

DeleteTrump is also a neat freak and germaphobe. Bannon looks like a walking canker on a pile of laundry. He always looks disheveled, greasy and dirty. If he actually smells, that would also put Trump off.

Steve Bannon is very powerful within conservative media. He holds a lot of sway with the same media bubble that got Trump the Republican nomination. If the Bannon minions go to war with this White House, Trump will have no base of support, no constituency, and nowhere to go, but down as President.

In keeping with the preferred alt-right explanation of why the Charlottesville event went south, namely the machinations of a vast left-wing conspiracy to foment racial violence and spark a civil war, alternative media outlets began accusing Kessler of being a “deep state” operative in the pay of billionaire leftist George Soros.

ReplyDeleteOn Friday, conservatives lashed out at what they viewed as Trump selling out his base and surrendering to those "liberal" forces.

I had a ‘CNN is fake news protest’ scheduled for tomorrow at their headquarters in Atlanta that I’m canceling because I’m so disheartened. It’s a betrayal of his base. I’ll continue to support Trump and his policies but I’ll no longer be on the front lines defending him.”
...“Steve’s allies in the populist nationalist movement are ready to ride to the gates of hell with him against the West Wing Democrats and globalists like [national security aide] Dina Powell, Jared Kushner, Ivanka Trump, Gary Cohn and H.R. McMaster,” said one Bannon ally.
“They should all be very worried that their efforts to undermine the president will be exposed. If they think what’s happened with Steve is rough, wait until they see what he does outside the White House," the ally said.

The three best words that best describe you,
Are as follows, and I quote"
Stink!
Stank!
Stunk!
You're a rotter, Mr Bannon.
You're the king of sinful sots
Your heart's a dead tomato
splotched with moldy purple spots, Mr. Bannon.
Your soul is an appalling dump heap
Overflowing with the most disgraceful
Assortment of deplorable rubbish imaginable,
Mangled up in tangled up knots.
You nauseate me, Mr Bannon.
With a nauseous super nos
You're a crooked jerky jockey and,
You drive a crooked horse, Mr Bannon!
You're a three-decker sauerkraut
And toadstool sandwich,
With arsenic sauce!

That tweet is spot on. And this article explains it:
ReplyDeletehttps://www.adn.com/opinions/national-opinions/2017/08/18/trump-is-palin-but-better-at-it/
"The most important sentence in this article:
His popularity is cultural, not political, resilient to the notions of truth and fiction and to Trump's own failures.”
Gryphen has been thankfully tenacious and prescient in calling out the people who supported Palin and Trump.
I've been telling everyone for the past year. Everything I know about Donald Trump, I learned from Sara Palin.
DeleteAlso, too. I learned the meaning of narcissist. Learned that some people keep grudges for ever.
And that you sure can fool a lot of people if you've got the balls to say the most ridiculous lie-filled stuff with no thought of care of the consequences on others (Sara has Todd's in her purse.)
And, as Sara herself learned, you can't be allowed to take attention from Trump because he Out-Narcissists her.
I want Trump to appoint Palin to something.. just so my friends and I can place bets to how long she'd last before getting the axe in the revolving door administration.
ReplyDeleteOne more clown in the circus. Sara already has the oversized shoes.
DeleteRepublicans, cut the outrage. It’s time to disown Trump.
ReplyDeleteThe party of Lincoln is now the party of Robert E. Lee, Jefferson Davis and Southern slave owners who decided to kill fellow Americans so that they could keep men, women and children enslaved. The Republican Party, in other words, has obliterated its entire historical legacy and become the party of the Enemies of Lincoln.
And let’s be clear: Republicans cannot say, “That’s not us — that’s just President Trump.” They supported him, they elected him, they defended him and they gave him the aura of a normal presidency. They cannot be the party of Lincoln and be the party of Trump. In that vein, we can dispense with Republicans’ “outrage,” “frustration,” “anger” and all other meaningless expressions of internal sentiment. Unless and until they are prepared to do something — not just send tweets — to politically disown Trump, the party is toast and none of its members should be elected or reelected.
How would they do this? First, elected officials must deny Trump the audience he so desperately craves. They need not appear with him, nor invite him to the Hill. (The State of the Union can be delivered from the White House or in writing; he would besmirch the House by appearing there.) Lawmakers and state officials should not troop to the White House for photo ops. They can communicate with the White House by phone or through aides. In short, Trump must be shunned and ostracized. He is not fit for polite company, let alone the presidency. He has demolished the rules of civilized behavior, and therefore should enjoy none of the ceremonial niceties that are extended to normal presidents.
Second, beyond resolutions condemning Trump’s remarks, every member of Congress should do his or her utmost to remove the neo-Nazi iconography in their districts and states. Neo-Nazis have claimed the Confederacy as their own — and therefore have reminded the rest of us that the Confederate statues are not tributes to patriotism, gallantry or liberty but to treason, inhumanity and slavery. That is why neo-Nazis identify with these symbols of the Old South. That is why they have no place in a democratic society built on the principle that “All men are created equal.” State and local officials need to carefully examine school curriculum to make sure students are not confused as to the heroes and the villains in the Civil War. Every student should learn to spot and debunk the “Lost Cause” propaganda. Perhaps April 9 should be a national holiday commemorating the Confederacy’s surrender and the magnanimity displayed by President Abraham Lincoln and U.S. generals toward their defeated foes.
Third, Cabinet members, sub-Cabinet officials, staffers and outside participants on councils, commissions and committees must leave the administration.

ReplyDeleteN.Korea twittered Bannon's out to spend more time with his family, cocaine,and Thunderbird wine.
DeleteI listened as they called my President a Muslim.
ReplyDeleteI listened as they called him and his family a pack of monkeys.
I listened as they said he wasn't born here.
I watched as they blocked every single path to progress that they could.
I saw the pictures of him as Hitler.
I watched them shut down the government and hurt the entire nation twice.
I watched them turn their backs on every opportunity to open worthwhile dialog.
I watched them say that they would not even listen to any choice for Supreme Court no matter who the nominee was.
I listened as they openly said that they will oppose him at every turn.
I watched as they did just that.
I listened.
I watched.
I paid attention.
Now, I'm being called on to be tolerant.
To move forward.
To denounce protesters.
To "Get over it."
To accept this...
I will not.
I will do my part to make sure this great American mistake becomes the embarrassing footnote of our history that it deserves to be.
I will do this as quickly as possible every chance I get.
I will do my part to limit the damage that this man can do to my country.
I will watch his every move and point out every single mistake and misdeed in a loud and proud voice.
I will let you know in a loud voice every time this man backs away from a promise he made to them.
Them. The people who voted for him.
The ones who sold their souls and prayed for him to win.
I will do this so that they never forget.
And they will hear me.
They will see it in my eyes when I look at them.
They will hear it in my voice when I talk to them.
They will know that I know who they are.
They will know that I know what they are.
Do not call for my tolerance. I've tolerated all I can.
Now it's their turn to tolerate ridicule.
Be aware, make no mistake about it, every single thing that goes wrong in our country from this day
forward is now Trump's fault just as much as they thought it was Obama's.
I find it unreasonable for them to expect from me what they were entirely unwilling to give."

Trump’s Son In Crosshairs Of Special Counsel Mueller
ReplyDeleteProsecutors investigating possible collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign are bearing down on the president’s son, attempting to figure out his intent when he attended a meeting in which he was promised dirt on Hillary Clinton as part of Russia’s support for Trump’s campaign. The question of intent could be crucial in determining if Donald Trump Jr. violated the law.

ReplyDeleteSeb Gorka’s Fate ‘Extremely Uncertain’ as His Boss Bannon Is Ousted
ReplyDeleteThe fate of Donald Trump’s pugnacious, controversial aide Sebastian Gorka is up in the air again after his top ally inside the White House, Steven Bannon, was shown the door, multiple White House officials tell The Daily Beast.
Early Friday afternoon, news broke that Bannon, the embattled White House chief strategist, was leaving the administration before the week was out. With Bannon out and planning his next moves, that leaves Gorka without an immediate boss.

ReplyDelete...But for now the safe bet is that Sebastian Gorka will be gone in three weeks. Kelly wants him gone, Bannon isn’t there to stop it, and Trump just doesn’t care anymore.
