Trump v Bannon

[Latrinsorm]

Here's an article (http://www.cnn.com/2017/08/13/politics/trump-advisers-bannon/index.html) from CNN talking about how Bannon is on thin ice. Everyone working for the President is on thin ice, obviously, so that's not what I'm interested in. What I'm interested in is this quote, c/o Anthony Scaramucci:

"I think the President knows what he's going to do with Steve Bannon. It's his decision. But I mean at the end of the day, I think the President has a very good idea of who the leakers are inside the White House. The President has a very good idea of the people that are undermining his agenda that are serving their own interests."

From what I've read the main whispers about who's doing the leaking have been about Kushner/Ivanka, and there were also some snide remarks made about the surprise(ish) firing of Reince Preibus (i.e. he was a leaker too). This is the first I've heard about Bannon leaking, and it's interesting that both Kushner and Preibus had serious disputes with him in the past, and that the President (who I think we can all agree has no hesitation tweeting his mind) has had no comment on these statements.

Bannon should have been fired on day 1.

Meh, lots of other people needed firing on day one.

Yes but Bannon is the biggest (asides from Trump) shit stain in the WH

Oh, you wanted to limit that to the WH. Hummmmmm, well, I would have tossed the entire staff, every last one of them down to possibly even the janitor. Bannon isn't great but I would keep him around possibly as the 10th man kind of thing. I would likely not have had the kids so involved. Flynn was just plain stupid. I would have also culled the entire vetting team on that crap.

And there have been far far worse shit stains in the WH than Trump.

:lol2:

Okay.

[hello]

I love how his entire WH team are at each other's throats, apparently, this works in business. Too bad it's a country and not a company.

I've heard of a 12th man, and I've heard of a 6th man. What's this 10th man business? Honest question.

Like you don't know what a 10th man is.

Basically a loyal opposition that argues/considers the other side of the majority opinion so that other options can be considered. The so called "Devil's Advocate." It was named/enumerated in the movie World War Z.

Trump can't fire Bannon now. It would look like he caved to pressure from Pelosi.

He should have told Pelosi he was a Muslim.

No such thing as a non-Democrat Muslim... just like there is no such thing as a black Republican.

DUH.
