When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.

If you think Bannon is an idiot you really need to take a step back and take a long, critical look at yourself.

Who is he pissing off that matters? Where on earth is this idea coming from? I get that he's pissing YOU off, but he's doing an A+ job for the Republican party. Preibus and Bannon are basically performing a loving best buddy giggling schoolgirl routine right now, including finishing each other's sentences.

Mitch McConnell has a "high level of satisfaction" with how the administration is going so far.

Bannon is more entrenched and more powerful than ever before. I think there's a leftist confirmation bias thing going on here. You know he's so loving beyond the pale, so you think "surely they MUST be getting tired of him too." I wish. He's getting stronger. His appointment to the NSC is going completely unchallenged by anyone with the power to change it. He's de facto directing all national security policy.

Plus candidates for Army Secretary keep quitting as soon as they get wind of his plans. Bannon is just getting started.

Is this even a serious question?

The end here isn't Trump getting impeached. It's total nuclear war and devastation within the next two years.

And he is doing so because he belives a perfect hierarchical society ruled by White Catholic Elites will rise from the ashes. He's a huge fan of the Dark Enlightenment and Neoreactionary movements. Hates egalitarianism and democracy for allowing gays and blacks and punk rockers to exist. None of this is speculation, he's very open about his beliefs.

The New York Times just published a great article about how he's making everyone in the White House read and follow the writings of fascist icon Julius Evola.

This is much more likely than the limp leftist fantasy of trump getting deposed or a military coup or whatever the Sarah Silverman wing of the party is promoting this week. Looking forward to the Grammys tonight for some spicy unhinged rants. The left has learned nothing and forgotten nothing

So I read the Bannon Vatican speech. He's probably one of the smartest non-military people in the administration, but having an encyclopedic knowledge of fringe political philosophies definitely doesn't translate to good governance.

What's more, the dude is all over the loving place with economics. "Yeah, I hate crony capitalism where the big money buys government influence. I'm also against Ayn Rand free market type capitalism where those who are on the losing end of competition get hosed. MY capitalism is the one where wealth is evenly distributed across a broad middle class and large industries make decisions to benefit the society at large instead of just their shareholders. Somehow socialism is bad, and I'm deffo not a socialist."

My brain says over, too, but my heart says under, because usa piss president donald trump is too much of an incompetent r-bomb fuckup to keep the wheels from falling off this thing for very long. Historic levels of incompetence is an understatement, and plus he a 70 year old obese man with a poo poo diet sleeping 4 hours a night and watching tv all day.

Why is Trump getting knocked out considered a good thing? Then we'd be to president Mike "boy I sure hate gays" Pence. If we're going to be in the darkest timeline, I'd prefer the living embodiment of what the left hates to GW Bush II.

Mike Pence would probably be worse in a context-free void, but Mike Pence being a pariah lame duck president trying to salvage the flaming wreckage of a Trump administration would be funny as hell

Seems like Trump is being pretty successful at it since the Democrats are pushing through virtually all of his picks and Manchin and friends will help push through all the wonderful laws.

Trump wont be impeached in his first term because a wave in 2018 wouldn't get rid of enough Repubs.

Bannon I think might be a good possibility to be gone by November because I can't imagine anyone being employed by Trump for that long who isn't related to him.

"a wave in 2018" makes it sound like dems are going to gain power in 2018 rather than what's actually going to happen, which is that they become more of a rump regional party and double down on all the stupid poo poo that only plays in metro NYC and SF

Yeah, any conception that the dems will gain instead of lose in the midterms should be gotten rid of right now. There is literally no way the map gets any more blue in 2018.

I think Flynn being forced out is a solid first step in the consolidation of Pence's power. The Republicans are not interested in normalizing relations with Putin to help out Trump's bank account, and since that's the only reason piss-face has been able to offer for not continuing to kick Putin in the balls the sanctions aren't getting dropped. At some point Putin is going to get tired of the relative stability offered by a Trump administration and leak the piss tape.
