THE ERA OF TRUMP

[Okeefenokee]

Bannon is out in the cold.

Will say anything to get some attention.

How does anyone fall for this shit?

Steve Bannon faces fresh doubt about whether he can pull off his populist revolution within the Republican Party after his top financial patron cut ties with him on Thursday in the wake of his feud with President Donald Trump.

Trump, who spoke by phone with donor Rebekah Mercer shortly before she issued a statement rebuking Bannon Thursday, crowed about the break between the two in a tweet Friday morning: “The Mercer Family recently dumped the leaker known as Sloppy Steve Bannon. Smart!”

Rebekah Mercer said in the statement that she and her father, Robert Mercer, the former co-chief executive officer of the hedge fund Renaissance Technologies, would not finance his projects. The Mercers and their fortune have been a mainstay of Bannon’s political operation.

“I support President Trump and the platform upon which he was elected,” Rebekah Mercer said. “My family and I have not communicated with Steve Bannon in many months and have provided no financial support to his political agenda, nor do we support his recent actions and statements.”

Damn ... kicked him right in the wallet.
The only place a Republican can feel pain.

The Trump-Colluded-With-Russians attack didn't work so now it's the Trump-Is-Mentally-Ill attack.

Even back in the long ago day, when elections were just as vicious personally as they are now, I don't think the attack on a president continued a year into office. Does anybody have an example?

Dubya was an idiot for 8 years. Obama was a socialist kenyan terrorist for 8 years. It never stops.

More horseshit from the democrat.^^^

Obama had one scandal after another, and the press ignored them, deflected, or straight up defended them. Then they said he had a scandal free presidency.

Like, the whole immigration ban thing, that's all Bannon, and Bannon openly says that the whole point was to troll the SJW snowflakes into showing up and protesting on behalf of Mooslambs and immigrants, it was a trap, and it worked to a tee, but the rest of them, Javanka & Co, they fought against it tooth and nail.

More spin from Sloppy Steve.

The true story is that his version failed miserably in court, and it wasn't until after someone competent drafted one that it went into effect.

Hash needs to change Smitty's name to Don Lemon.

That's laughable tho, because Trump's platform was Bannon's platform, Trump doesn't have a platform, he's not ideological, Trump latched on to the Breitbart ideological agenda, not the other way round.

You can’t make this shit up.



Scott Adams is going to be a laughingstock for decades.

Not sure if hillarious or terrifying

The picture the book paints of Trump Tower on election night is a fairly desperate and depressing one – but only when it became clear that Trump was going to win. The whole campaign was set up so that it would win by losing: they would avoid the potentially dangerous glare of the press that would come with a victory, and all of the big people in the movement had already set up their new jobs for afterwards. Trump, for instance, would be able to become the figurehead of a movement that would see him as the martyr of the crooked Clinton campaign.

When it became clear he was going to win, however, everything changed. Donald Jr looked "as if he had seen a ghost"; Melania "was in tears – and not of joy"; and Trump went from "befuddled" to "disbelieving" to "quite horrified", all in the space of an hour. And then he underwent the most dramatic change of all: into a "a man who believed that he deserved to be and was wholly capable of being the president of the United States".

A lot of things in the book seem so plausible. It's not even funny.

Stop the presses. Fakenews believes in fakenews - the novel.

How many false narratives from your little book are gonna get swatted down right in front of you before you realize you don't know the ring of truth as well as you think you do?

There is no narrative in the book, it's just collection of interviews with the people in the Trump White House, it's their narratives, it's not my narratives, it's not even Wolff's narratives, but I don't think Wolff is making it up, I think the people in the WH said and did all the things he puts in the book, thus I find the book to be a credible report.

You losing your shit about that and running out to rant and rave about it, is mildly amusing, but otherwise of no consequence to me.
