Good play by Trump. He takes away the media talking point and can talk to Bannon any time he wants still. Bannon ain't needing the cushy, prestigious job that a lib aspires to. He's in it for real change.
^^On this note, Bannon will indeed make Breitbart more profitable, since a lot of us who couldn't give a about it prior will now be tuning in to watch the drama. Money (and entertainment. He's a Hollywood guy after all) appears to Bannon's end game, not political change. So he definitely won on that front.

This take sure beats the out of mine.
There's no "real change" without compromise (Moderates and Liberals still far outnumber those who hold the Breitfart ideology). Bannon is a not a compromiser. He's a simplistic authoritarian.
[[["The Trump presidency that we fought for, and won, is over," Bannon said in an interview with The Weekly Standard."We still have a huge movement, and we will make something of this Trump presidency. But that presidency is over. It'll be something else."]]]
That is astonishing. 7 months in & it's over. I await the autopsy.
& none with it.
(We) always end up ass over teacup.
[[["There'll be all kinds of fights, and there'll be good days and bad days, but that presidency is over," he added, according to the Weekly Standard.]]]
I find solace in that fact that it did take place. It happened. It'll go into the annals.
& I will take it on into the grave.
& nobody can stop me.
What "change" do you want, cub?
See, see what they do:::

Trump's White House Staff
They can both be evil. Bannon has been for a very long time. Since Trump was a Democrat.

Bannon being a fan of Lenin and wanting to destroy govt indicates he's got a serious ed up head, even if some say he's very smart. Emotionally, he's ed up, and he looks extremely unhealthy.
Mercer has handed Trump lots of money plus KrazyAnn Conway, Goebbels Miller, Bannon.
Okay, what's an "America first" policy look like?
Quit making everything in China and restore manufacturing glory to the Rust Belt? Isn't going to happen, Cub. Our manufacturing might was a result of being the only country left standing after WW2. We had no compe ion on that front, meaning the workers held the cards in that scenario and could fight for good wages since a Ford, GM, et al couldn't just pack up and move to China back then. The world caught up and we lost our manufacturing monopoly. Sure, you can bury your head into economic nationalism, but what would happen is that we'd just basically be trading amongst ourselves while China would be trading with the whole world. Going full protectionist would kill us. It's a global economy.
Immigration? Do you think it's fair that you and I got here through immigration once upon a time (our ancestors coming over here from a crumbling Europe/Mexico/China, etc) but "they" can't? If you're of Irish descent, the East Coast WASPs basically considered you a plague (not unlike the Sheriff Joes consider all those rapist Messicans a plague). No Irish Allowed!
Foreign policy isolationism? Let's quit playing world police, close down all those 300 some bases worldwide and put that capital and energy toward domestic matters? On this, we agree.
The fear.
See, see what Bouts is doing...this is how it was BEFORE January 20th. Bad news is portrayed as good news even though it's bad news. The DOW finished down big time today and for the week. But, Bouts portends it's good news.Stocks rally, traders cheer on news of Bannon’s departure

Ya , you.
I don't get it
he's scared of moose lambs
Kelly mopped the in floor with Bannon's in ass.
True. The globalists have won.
For now.
Thread I was telling you Trump screwed up bad but no you didn't want to hear it. You wanted to celebrate the unforced error.
Thread I was telling you the only way out for Trump would be to belly crawl and give up Bannon's scalp but no you didn't want to hear it.
For this man, he now must kneel
Hold his tongue of what he truly feels
And bide his time, be kept in check
For this man, does not forget
Snake, you're a Breitbart reader? I haven't read that outside of there. They have a Wierd facination with it. Most of the commenters on there probably don't even know what that word means.
No, only reason I know anything about Breitbart/Bannon is liberals on here talk about it a lot. The far left used to be the ones complaining about globalists.
They blame globalism for the eradication of the white working class throughout the Midwest and for the take over of US culture by unwashed brown people (open borders is a supposed tenet of globalism).
They don't understand we had to play ball if our economy were to remain healthy. If we didn't "globalize" in the 80's, the Japanese would've killed us and if we don't remain global, the Chinese will kill us (and the world economy would suffer as a result). A protectionist economy would just be us trading overpriced goods with each other as inflation soars.
http://www.businessinsider.com/steve...h-china-2017-8Possibly the most troubling thing about all this is that Bannon is also wrong about what happened to US manufacturing. The way he and his ilk tell it, China's entrance into the WTO was a huge part of what tipped it into decline. The truth is more complex.
It started during the Reagan administration, when a combination of Japanese manufacturing innovation and a lack of US investment in its own economy by both the public and private sectors shuttered factories across the country.
William Lazonick, an economist at the University of Massachusetts Lowell, describes the results of that transformation in his 2012 paper, "The Financialization of the US Corporation: What Has Been Lost, and How Can It Be Regained." It's a must-read for this kind of stuff:
"The adverse impact of Japanese compe ion on US employment became particularly harsh in the double-dip recession of 1980-1982 when large numbers of good blue-collar jobs disappeared from US industry ...
"From 1980 to 1985, employment in the US economy increased from 104.5 million to 107.2 million workers, or by 2.6%. But employment of operators, fabricators, and laborers fell from 20 million to 16.8 million, a decline of 15.9%."
The Japanese beat us on manufacturing due to our complacency, so we had to respond by importing their goods and transitioning into a service economy (i.e. selling their goods) to keep job growth healthy (we were still a healthy exporter of agriculture and continue to be to this day). And forget about even challenging China on manufacturing today. We can't equal their efficiency/cost.
