Bannon Might Be Nervous
Newsweek says Bannon just might be a little scared.
Ousted White House chief strategist Steve Bannon won’t stop discussing the possibility that his former boss could be impeached. And now, he’s using it as a scare tactic for Republican voters and candidates.
Bannon told immigration activists this weekend that he worries the GOP could lose control of the House of Representatives if Speaker Paul Ryan slips an amnesty policy for recipients of the now-defunct Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program into an upcoming spending bill.
It could be rightwing scare tactic. It could also be Christmas.
There’s no love lost between Bannon and Ryan. Hell, snakes don’t like each other either.
At the rate voters are getting mad at the GOP, losing the House looks like a sure thing. Easy to predict the future if you’re cutting the legs out from under it.
1Heey, snakes get along, especially in the winter, when many species glom together in “snakepits” (which is what DC now is in the majority). Besides, even if they bite each other, they’re supposed to have immunity.
2And real snakes are actually pretty beneficial in Nature.
Now, JJ, please don’t go badmouthing snakes. After all, they’re just poor, dumb animals trying to make a living and to protect themselves in a cold, cruel world. What they do, they do without malice. RWNJs don’t have that excuse. Comparing them to snakes insults snakes.
3Maybe Putin will pardon him. You think.
4I steeled myself to listen to Bannon talking to a bunch of his admirers; he’s insidious. He reminds me of the Wizard Saruman, in TLotR, who’s voice is so persuasive that he can sway the thoughts of everyone who hears it.
He sounded so soft and reasonable; good grief. He was spouting such radical destructive ideas, and people were just eating it up.
Good grief.
5The “voice”. Eating it up. Does that remind you of anything, say like the rise of Adolf Hitler? Of course, he screeched when he preached but for some reason his audience was mesmerized. Of course, he already had a lot of the hard work done for him by generations of that culture spewing and listening to anti-semitism. Wagner certainly helped with the hyped up super Aryan heroes. No wonder Hitler was blown away when Jesse Owens actually dared to beat his wunderkind on the track. I dare say that I do not see a kind end for Bannon. Exactly what it will be is beyond me but it won’t be soft.
