Yeah. We are on week one. We can't as a country handle two years of this shit.
He is a legit neo-nazi
He worships a German man with a funny mustache who lead that country between 1933 to 1945.
He invented the alt-right. That is his thing.
I think peoples larger concern is in how Bannon can steer things by attending meetings.

Trump wants to be a strong leader that is respected, but his adminstration is being run by people far stronger. on every level than him. What a weak, weak noodle he is. Pathetic. He isn't running anything. He's not capable enough, to run the White House.
And fuck Bannon. Nazi scumbag. Dark times ahead.

That's Richard Spencer, the guy that got punched. Steve Bannon was the Executive Chair of Brietbart News, an extreme right online publication that is well beloved by alt-right types. He was also a major advisor to Trump for his presidential run after supporting him wholeheartedly with his news site. And now he's in Trumps presidential inner circle.
He does deserve to get punched.

That implies Trump is competent.
They also removed Secretary of Energy from list of invited people. I wonder what this means considering SoE basically handles nukes.

Now I'm imagining Rick Perry working a 10-2 shift and just sharpening pencils for half that time.
I'm sure he has a whole lot of other things going on in reality but pushing out a traditional big name Republican is kind of a bad look.

Bannon also belongs to Council for National Policy, as does Conway and deVos.
To be fair I don't think anyone wants to see how Perry handles nukes. It's more than likely that Perry got the job for sucking up to Trump, everyone knows he's borderline incompetent.

Worse than I thought. He's basically axing everything he cannot directly control from the Executive seat.

I assume the goal here is to have a more linear and top-down chain of command, with the fewest heads at the top. That's essentially a coup.

I am 100% sure Bannon wants Mattis out. And I'm curious about why he is in Trump's administration at all. I think it just comes down to Trump thinking he looks like Patton, just likes his image and background, but I'm certain Bannon is hoping he could get rid of him. I can't believe Mattis like Bannon at all either.
Wild guess here would be that there will be a tug of war between Mattis and Bannon, and I'm curious how it would end.
Some choice quotes from Mattis:
Does that sound like someone who would see eye to eye with Trump? And we know Trump is following Bannon's advice.
You look at the rest of the administration, Mattis stands out, doesn't fit at all. Is it a pre-emptive counter-coup trick, putting someone you don't agree with in charge of the army so that you can eventually lure them to attack your own administration? Or just make things up and say they were plotting a coup, in order to carry out your own coup, just because it would fit with the narrative?

I have to imagine Mattis is trying to be a voice of reason. Hopefully Trumps idolization of Patton leads to him giving deference to Mattis as he has claimed he will.

6-7 hour waits for minorities at the polls were too convenient. 24-hour+ waits next time.
Meanwhile I waited one minute and probably won't wait at all next time.

I think he meant national leninist, or maybe national socialist?
I just realized, Bannon is the real-life version of Nolan's Batmanverse Joker. (My knowledge of Batman is limited, Nolanverse Joker is the only one i know might be dark enough comparison.)
"Some men just want to watch the world burn"...
The only difference is, Bannon is in White House. Next to an egoistic narcissist idiot (but an useful idiot) who has nuke codes at his fingertips.

This doesn't seem to be getting much attention and if there are behind the scenes power grabs going down at the moment, it is obviously benefiting that all attention is on the Muslim ban.

I wish for a lot worse, Bannon is a literal monster
Well, i did suggest in another thread that Trump and Bannon are moving fast on purpose. This has several advantages: Things can be hidden behind others, and protesters can be worn down possibly. Which makes it even more important to protest just about anything Trump does and keep it up

Can someone do a better job of describing this please? I'm unfamiliar with this committee and exactly what's going on? How does this give him so much more power?

Guys, we need to find some way to get rid of both Trump & Bannon immediately.
Trump is going to set new records for unpopularity. Ryan's power isn't going to last.
I googled that quote and saw it was a real quote. How do evangelicals align with a guy who would say something like that?
