Steve Bannon Out At White House
Developing...
Steve Bannon is out.
Here's the statement:
White House Chief of Staff John Kelly and Steve Bannon have mutually agreed today would be Steve’s last day. We are grateful for his service and wish him the best.
From the DNC:
The may very well be an attempt not only to deflect criticism regarding how the President handled Charlottesville, but also an attempt to remove elements that might have begun to make Gary Cohn uncomfortable.
As Dave Lutz of JonesTrading put it earlier tod
Go get him, Mueller!
– Murphy
That’s right on the mark, Murphy! It all about Mueller. It’s on his mind 24/7.
On Tuesday in the lobby of Trump’s Tower, he said this: “Mr. Bannon came on very late,” Trump told reporters. “I like him, he’s a good man, he is not a racist, I can tell you that. But we’ll see what happens with Mr. Bannon.”
He came on “very late?” Late for what? He was appointed chief executive of Donald Trump’s presidential campaign on August 17, 2016. That’s long enough to be knee deep in inculpatory evidentiary material. He was appointed White House Chief Strategist on January 20, 2017. He was there for the start.
The tone, words and intent to distance sounds familiar to me.
So, on August 10, after the FBI served a search warrant on Manafort’s home, reporters asked Trump about it, and he said: he was with the campaign for a short period of time, a relatively short period of time … I’ve always found Paul Manafort to be a very decent man. … He’s like a lot of other people, probably makes consultant fees from all over the place, who knows, I don’t know.”
Manafort and Bannon haven’t been around long enough to see anything.
Paul and Steve are decent and good men.
Late? hahaha! He was there before debates if my aged memory is correct! He was there before Election. He was installed on day 1 when assface put on his crown. What the fuck does late mean? That’s always what he says, and followed by “as you know”. And even though he has said numerous times that he knew Bannon well and he was a friend of mine, he will soon start with I barely knew him and I wouldn’t really call him a friend, more of an associate. By now he does not even remember meeting Manafart (yeah yeah)!
Wonder which one of those 3 would win the Ultimate C***suck*** Contest? The Mooch could be the judge!
– Murphy
Thanks Murphy. Couldn’t have said it better.
Now look at Sater and Manafort and Flynn.
If they have flipped, we ain’t seen the real juice!
So yeah, Bannon is the poster child for disgusting human being syndrome. But, he obviously knows what he is doing as far as an ability to manipulate a portion of the public. So one of two possibilities:
1. Trump has agreed to pay off Bannon, after which he will semi-retire, move to an island and smoke cigars once the internal organs start to give out. Maybe start a blog for entertainment…
2. Total sh!t show ensues. Bannon knowing some of Trumps skeletons decides to wage a nasty war of attrition with Trump, turning his base against him while slowly leaking damaging information.
My guess is 2, because Trump is too cheap for his own good.
Oh yes #2 for sure! Trump is not only cheap, he fully believes in the ‘deny deny deny’ theory. But from reading about Felix Slater (trumps old business partner in some condo sales) this morning – he has flipped and told his family he will be going to prison and so will trump. Money laundering. Remember that stupid comment trump made not long ago — along the lines of: oh I may have sold a condo to a Russian but I sold a lot of condos to people — pretty much ties into Slater’s comments. Also read that Manafart (yeah yeah) also sold out against trump. http://www.rawstory.com It’s all there.

Does this mean that Trump will take Bannon’s burning crosses off the White House lawn, too? I’m guess that big one time storage closet in the West Wing – you know, the one with all the swastikas and Adolf portraits will still be there for the Donny’s (Sr. and Jr.) usage.
Way too little, way too late. Even with Bannon off-site (probably still a Trump advisor and strategist), the White House is still way past “full up on crazy” – as long as Trump and Co. are still in there. Again, the big question is how do we prevent the next incompetent – Bush, Palin, Trump from having access to the WH because clearly our political parties and our electorate aren’t intellectually capable distinguishing capable candidates.
Love the DNC statement. Bury the hatchet and get to work!!!! Let’s see ….Hillary from circa 2010 on Robert Byrd former Grand Dragon “My Good Friend” But it was sooo long ago
Just get to work Washington!!!!
CLAYTON – either you don’t know the whole story, the TRUTH — OR you chose to re-frame that story. I paste the correct information which is drastically different that what you gave us!
“In a video uploaded to the State Department’s official YouTube page on June 28, 2010, Clinton commemorated late Sen. Byrd by saying, “Today our country has lost a true American original, my friend and mentor Robert C. Byrd.
This photograph and video are undeniably genuine: The photograph was taken in July 2004, and the video of Clinton was filmed on 28 June 2010, shortly after Byrd’s death.
It’s also true that Robert Byrd was a member of the Ku Klux Klan in the 1940s and helped establish the hate group’s chapter in Sophia, West Virginia. However, in 1952 Byrd avowed that “After about a year, I became disinterested [in the KKK], quit paying my dues, and dropped my membership in the organization,” and throughout his long political career (he served for 57 years in the United States Congress) he repeatedly apologized for his involvement with the KKK:
“I know now I was wrong. Intolerance had no place in America. I apologized a thousand times … and I don’t mind apologizing over and over again. I can’t erase what happened.”
In 2010, even the NAACP released a statement honoring Senator Byrd and mourning his passing:
The NAACP is saddened by the passing of United States Senator Robert Byrd. Byrd, the longest serving member of congress was first elected to the U.S. House from [West Virginia] in 1952 and was elected Senator in 1958. Byrd passed away this morning at the age of 92.
“Senator Byrd reflects the transformative power of this nation,” stated NAACP President and CEO Benjamin Todd Jealous. “Senator Byrd went from being an active member of the KKK to a being a stalwart supporter of the Civil Rights Act, the Voting Rights Act and many other pieces of seminal legislation that advanced the civil rights and liberties of our country.
“Senator Byrd came to consistently support the NAACP civil rights agenda, doing well on the NAACP Annual Civil Rights Report Card. He stood with us on many issues of crucial importance to our members from the reauthorization of the Voting Rights Act, the historic health care legislation of 2010 and his support for the Hate Crimes Prevention legislation,” stated Hilary O. Shelton, Director of the NAACP Washington Bureau and Senior Vice President for Advocacy and Policy. “Senator Byrd was a master of the Senate Rules, and helped strategize passage of legislation that helped millions of Americans. He will be sorely missed.”
Although this image was used to criticize the media for ignoring Hillary Clinton’s connection to former KKK member Robert Byrd while simultaneously playing up Donald Trump’s comments regarding former Klan member David Duke, several factors made the latter much more newsworthy in early 2016.

The point being it is sooo selective. I judge people by their accomplishments & character. That’s it period.
Like I said I just want Washington to work.
yeah, right…. Well, at least you now have the truth about the slanderous lie trump spread around. Clearly, as we have all seen now, that’s his specialty. Washington will never work when the wrong person is put in office – resulting from a pile of lies.
