Strange Days ............

[a little elbow grease]

From the article:

(Anthony) Scaramucci told The New Yorker's Ryan Lizza in July: "I'm not Steve Bannon, I'm not trying to suck my own c**k. I’m not trying to build my own brand off the f**king strength of the president. I'm here to serve the country."

In December, Scaramucci told a crowd at Rabbi Shmuley Boteach's Hanukkah party: "He's a loser. He'll be a stalwart defender of Israel until he's not. That's how this guy operates. I've seen this guy operate. He was a stalwart defender of me until it became better for him not to be." The Mooch added, "The problem with Bannon is he's a messianic figure. It's his way or the highway. He was dramatically and incredibly divisive in the White House . . . He was leaking on everybody . . . You don't leak on the president if you're the president's senior adviser. So the guy's a loser."

I still say hold your fire.

I agree if we need to choose between Trump and Bannon, we should choose Trump.

But there is a sizable section of the acting administration who is not exactly building up American businesses. They are the old-school, sell out to foreigners gang. I do not know ether Don Jr. fits in that.

But I say we hold off on judging Bannon, for a couple days. Just a couple days.

This really, seems not to mesh with what I’ve seen before.

Who is trying to stir things up? And why?

Bannon is a schlub .... tune him out .

He needs to be given a job driving convoy vehicles in Afghanistan . Gain a little reality

Can Breitbart dump Bannon, or does he own the joint?

This infighting helps no one but the Left. If Bannon actually said the things he's quoted as saying, he's got a big mouth and he needs to leash his ego. If he didn't actually say the things he's quoted as saying - and apparently Michael Wolff's book has some obvious falsehoods in it - then Trump has over-reacted wildly and insulted a guy who is on his side.

In either case, some silence would be better for a few days - especially from the president's kids. Comey has just been accused of having leaked classified info to the press by Charles Grassley, and all we're hearing about is this nonsense.

Is Bannon in any way connected to VIPS’ Ray McGovern? He might be a LaRouchie, as they have these Jeckle and Hyde bipolar episodes... esp where Iran and Israel are concerned.
