An almost unlimited number of stories on Steve Bannon.
The most recent story; Bannon's venting in a phone call that he made to the American Prospect. BoingBoing:
Bannon described his efforts [to] "neutralize his rivals at the Departments of Defense, State, and Treasury" and said that (in Bannon's words), "They’re wetting themselves.""In politics, nothing happens by accident. If it happens, you can bet it was planned that way." - Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Bannon also contradicted Trump on North Korea: "There’s no military solution [to North Korea’s nuclear threats], forget it."
Or maybe, Roosevelt didn't say that. (I'm not sure who, or what group, decided that MetaBunk is the final authority on anything. I tend to always be skeptical regarding sites like MetaBunk or Snopes).
Either way, it isn't all that hard to believe that the Roosevelt "quote" is likely to be more accurate than not in the political arena.
You can throw a dart at any search engine and find news stories and Op/Ed pieces on Bannon, both pro and con.
I don't know if the Trump Admin is in chaos and disarray or not. If it isn't, and a carefully cultivated plan is to make it appear the Trump Admin is in chaos, then that plan certainly seems to be a successful perception by the public and - of course - the MSM.
I don't know if President Donald Trump selected Bannon without forethought of how controversial Bannon is, and would be, especially in how The Left views Bannon.
So was Bannon's phone call actually spontaneous and off the cuff, or was it a carefully planned strategy?
I haven't decided if Bannon should stay or if he should go.
What are your thoughts?
No matter how the Bannon issue concludes, I thank God every single day that our president is NOT Hillary Clinton.
