‘which I assume I am still entitled to [my own opinion].’

What do you think, ‘ymmv,’ means?

It means, ‘Your mileage may vary.’

It’s a common way of saying that you may have an entirely different opinion.

Power brings out the worst in men. Understanding that, a man with power must forever be vigilant in his actions.

I’m not following how this was preplanned with Trump and Bannon in cahoots.

You see the red text at the top that says Axios.

That’s called a “link”.

Axios is where the article originated from.

If you click on the “link”, it takes you to the article.

After you are there, you can read it in it’s entirety.

Although in this case, I did not excerpt it.

I’m with you, I think we are all being way too trusting that Wolff didn’t twist Bannon’s words, misquote him, do all sorts of crap... I love Trump but even he kind of jumped the gun here and lashed out without being sure Wolff wasn’t just playing us all.

I don't actually see either an apology or a denial of the quotes Wolff attributed to him.

Bannon saying "I regret that my delay in responding...has diverted attention" isn't the same thing as an apology for making any of the comments in the first place.

He can say his comments about the meeting were directed towards Manafort, but Don Jr. was at the meeting too, and, according to Wolff's trash, Bannon said: "They’re going to crack Don Junior like an egg on national TV." That comment was targeted directly at Don Jr., and Bannon didn't deny making the comment.

Bannon also gave no explanation or apology in his statement for having used his position as Chief Strategist in the Trump administration to give unfettered "guest credentials" to a known piece of trash like Michael Wolff. Without Bannon providing unprecedented access to Wolff and without Bannon's tacit approval of Wolff's presence in the WH, this book would never have been written. Period.

No apology or denial (and Bannon has provided neither of those!) would undo the damage Bannon has caused. The best thing he could have done at this time was to provide an unequivocal mea culpa and release the name of the rehab center he's checking into.

I don't pretend to understand why Bannon committed political and professional suicide, but the fact remains that this is what he has done.

On the right there is something called a scroll bar.

Scroll down.

The Bannon article is available there 2nd article down.

The article itself does not have a dedicated page.

Still laughing!!

I’m laughing at the notion that this was some sort of a “plan”.

I won’t be surprised to hear Steve jumped off a building. He made a mistake that he will NEVER get past.

Bannon is a piece of crap $^&%# garbage any way to look at it. He deserves exactly what he is going to get.
