Bannon has a financial stake in the royalties from this book. Is the most most likely explanation for his bizarre behavior and quotes.

Aided in the promotion of this fabrication farce of a book, by none other than yet another “rear admiral”...Matt Drudge. Drudge has received his instructions from the “queer mafia” which knows no party and thus is the common weasel ruling thread of the “gossip” biz of DC for the “uniparty”.

It’s best to think of the Drudge as a simple news consolidator for clicks, including click bait. It’s how he makes money, and also how he has a high opinion of himself. Just a resource— like National Enquirer... at the level of the gutter— and always from hollyweird and butt-loving world.

Bannon and Breitbart may end up as a double suicide.

Call me a “conspiracy theorist”, but I tend to agree with you. I think all of the Bannon controversy might be a ploy by POTUS, aided by Bannon, to keep the MSM busy, while something else BIG is going down.

No, unfortunately its not. And quite ridiculous to even speculate it might be.

‘After inauguration, Javanka, MaMaster, Kelly and the neocons took over foreign policy and have worked to stop the wall, remove Assad, fire up the cold war with Russia, arm Ukraine, etc.’

Can you cite a reliable source for these claims? I’ve asked ~a dozen posters to back these accusations up with factual evidence, and so far no one has been able to do so.

Thank you in advance.

You called it—best spokesman for economic nationalism and an opponent of Swamp GOPe candidates—neutralized. Mitch is smiling. This is a body blow for our side.

That pic is as good as it gets for Bannon.

More like a huge ego problem.

I’ve read many pretty reliable books on the campaign and most actually credited the much hated Kushner for Donald’s focus on the rustbelt. Bannon went on a campaign against JK for some reason, and most here ate it up.

Here we were attacking deep staters that POTUS had in the WH and it was Bannon doing the leaking the entire time.

What a louse as a person. His ideas are good (most) but the messenger is very flawed and apparently sneaky as hell.

Honestly I think you are right. Either Gannon is on meth or he’s just insane. There is no upside to his behaviour He’s hurting himself. Its keep and of like the crap Mitt has pulled.

10-4. Alcoholic in spades. I’ve known a few like that. Get them loaded, and off they go with the mouth. Grandiosity is a common characteristic of many alcoholics. I used to be like that, in fact. “Pompous buffoon” is what one guy called me lol. Sober now, many years (thank you, aa).

The author probably plied him good, and got him on tape. Lots of tapes.

He has made a total fool out of himself. Self inflicted, like walking down the center aisle of St Paddy’s Cathedral with his pants down. There is no coming back from calling someone treasonous, and doing it on tape. So much for the “architect”, so much for the brilliance and the understanding of the electorate. Now he is a mental patient, an escapee, muttering in a subway car about the Russian meetings, money laundering and the coming takeover of America.

I cannot believe he is of sound mind. I am failing to see the upside or the jedi mind trick that puts him back on top. Bannon has crashed and burned. (Maybe he should go into rehab, that could be an excuse that works.)

Not as smart as I thought, there were loose sparking wires behind the face mask.

Ben Shapiro pours verbal acid all over Bannon in his podcast today. Bannon is dead, dead, dead. I can’t imagine anyone more effectively immolating himself.

I don’t know who this Shapiro guy is but I’ll bet he is a Free Traitor™ neocon.

It is amazing how many on our side are relishing this tragedy. We don’t have many advocates. Trump and Bannon better make nice.

This breaks my heart because I became a big fan of Steve Bannon over the past couple years. With his recent return to Breitbart News Radio (on the Sirius Patriot channel), he seemed to be gaining traction and on his way to becoming a major force to help move MAGA forward.

But he utterly destroyed himself within the span of 24 hours. At first, I thought it was part of an elaborate plan of deception to a larger end that would benefit the MAGA movement in the long run but now it appears that is not so.

In the end, I stand with President Trump.
