Well, DT is the man in charge.
Once again, though, why do you duck the obvious value in saying those things? THERE IS A REASON.
BTW, I didn’t know Mooch and didn’t have any idea what he was doing. It surprised me that he left so soon, until I saw he was brought in for one reason, to “out” Rinse & Repeat & fire him.
I live in CA. and Arnold ended up being one of the worst governors we ever had certainly hope this doesn’t happen to Trump, just getting along with the swamp until his time is up!!!
I know Mr. Mattis personally — from when he was a Captain in the Marines. He won’t have any part in taking down a duly elected president. A man of great honor and devotion is he.
“Why would DT allow Bannon to say what he said? There is a perfectly logical explanation.”
Could you give the explanation? I’d like to know the reason as long as it’s not a US security (loose lips sink ships) or otherwise confidential thing. Thanks.
I knew the swamp would have three options (one prime push and two fall back Plan B positions).
Prevent Trump from the Presidency. Failing that, incessant attacks. Failing that, infiltration and co-optation from within, with good swamp-drainers eventually being shown the D.C. door one by one so that the Beltway would revert back to endemically corrupt, default position--which is what the American voter wanted to really change this time around. We are screwed. We cannot rationalize this crap away anymore. We are being had.
Remember the timeline: according to news reports we already HAD the NORKs backing down before Bannon’s comments. So Trump/Tillerson had done back channel work and had a victory already.
Then Bannon says publicly that a military solution wouldn’t work, would be very bloody. Publicly.
This is a message to Kim for consumption in his country. He can take this to his people and say “See! The Americans know they can’t win here.” Of course he has already agreed to stop firing missiles toward Guam.
Then Tillerson, again publicly, says, “Well, the military option is NOT off the table.” This is another message for Kim that he does NOT have to share with his people, namely, “Watch it, bub. We backed you off once, we can do it again.”
Bannon’s comments were approved as a way to allow Kim to save face with his own people after giving us what we demanded.
I know. My friend was on his campaign staff, thought they were headed for great things. Then bailed after only three months cuz Arnold was an idiot.
Before anyone starts jumping to conclusions, I would recommend the following analysis by Scott Adams:

Thank you. I know we weren’t just patiently waiting for the maniac to attack Guam, so that’s a reasonable explanation on what was going on in the background.
Bannon undercut Trump’s foreign policy on the record. He had to go.
No fears there; Trump is WAAAAAYYYYYYY better than Arnold!
Is Mags on Beijing Time wtf...Geebus she’s a day slow and a dollar short...
HE was SUPPOSED to take out Bannon as well, he just didn't get that far...but if you believe Bannon says he submitted resignation TWO weeks ago, then Mooch's assertion fits the timeline.
All that's left now is that this obvious assemblage of a War Cabinet is to start the war of their choosing.
NK obviously, but Venez is a close runner-up as it would require a magnitude of fewer losses than NK, or even a Panama or Grenada. And I lost a friend in Just Cause so I don't assert that lightly...
