Bastard - got all excited there for a minute
It's academic really. His poisonous ideology runs through the administration. Watch Trumps press conference the other day again. He truly believes that shit. So whether Steve Bannon is in some official position or not is an irrelevance

I'd imagine it was a 'him or me' ultimatum from John Kelly, after this weeks debacle. I still wouldn't bet on him seeing out the month either
Young Turks summary of his interview with American Prospect here:
Seemed to pretty much directly contradict Trump on North Korea. Not sure if he knew he was already for the chop at that point or if this was the last straw.
Interesting to see if breitbart turn on Trump now.
Either way not sure it'll stop trump from getting his info from crackpot right wing conspiracy theorists.
Something had to be done, trump's handling of the the Nazi thing & his response to the Spain attack looking properly bonkers.
3 of his advisory boards disbanded, trumpcare non-existent, chances of getting tax reform through now?
Meuller investigation gathering pace he' be in danger of his entire administration walking out!
I bet bannon has some great dirt on trump and I hope he spills it!

One of their senior editors just tweeted "#WAR" !
Could get messy.

I'd love to be a fly on the wall in the Obama household and hear what Barak makes of all this!
jeez, it's not just the wheels coming off the bus, the exhaust as fallen off, the gear box is seizing up and the engine is about to fall out.
Surly this s**t show can't go on for much longer.
Here's hoping.
Not sure what the alternative would be if trump goes? Pence? Someone else in the right wing arm of the GOP? Re-election?
I'd love to be a fly on the wall in the [s]Obama[/s] Clinton household and hear what [s]Barak[/s] Hillary makes of all this!

Who put Mentos in her Diet Coke?
The usual suspects seem to have gone quiet,why aren't we being told how successful he is,and how wrong we are?
Jeez trump is managing to make himself even more toxic, than we thought possible

Who'd a thunk saying Nazis were fine people could get you in such trouble 🙂
It's a shame on the timing, I'd love a couple of Newspapers out here from when he finally goes pop - I'll miss the Bannon front pages too 🙁

Remember those movie car crash sequences where they have a stupid number of car rolls before it finally bursts into flames...
cloudnine's pic - is kellyanne still around?

Sure chewk'll be along bragging about smart he is for not taking the bet on Trump not seeing out a full term.

It's encouraging that there are so many people prepared to stand up and call Trump out for this.
It's OK, God's still on board.

Getting lonely in there
That link ^ to Trumps religious evangelical advisory board is 😯 , every single one of them is a ****ing delusional nut-job
So of all the presidential advisory councils, the only one which will remain is the one advising him about some imaginary bloke in the sky? Well that's handy, because unlike all those other trivial issues it's the sort of thing he needs good advice on.
As I saw posted on FB recently, it's not funny when your moral guidance is being provided my your business leaders.
In 'religions' defence, these Evangelical leaders are a special bunch and I'm not sure many of them would hold up to much scrutiny under normal times though
Hmmm IMHO Trumps toast now.
Defending Nazis is probably not the greatest historic moment of an American president.
I think we're watching his downfall unfurling.
Nah I think he'll brazenly ride it out.
Quitting would be too bad for his ego, and the party won't want the shame of pulling him (even if they can). Impeachment [i]might[/i] get him - but it's a high bar to reach.

Imagine...
[i]After visiting these places, you can easily understand how that within a few years Hitler will emerge from the hatred that surrounds him now as one of the most significant figures who ever lived. He had boundless ambition for his country which rendered him a menace to the peace of the world, but he had a mystery about him in the way that he lived and in the manner of his death that will live and grow after him. He had in him the stuff of which legends are made.[/i]
Given you know we're going to read the article you link, it's a pretty weak troll even for you:
He wrote that Hitler "had in him the stuff of which legends are made." But Henderson said in an interview last month that should not be misinterpreted as sympathy for the German dictator.
"He said that in reference to the mystery surrounding him and not the evil he represented," Henderson said.
a menace to the peace of the world,
Praise does not come any stronger than that
From your article
In the diary, Kennedy reflected on his time in a gutted Berlin and even saw Hitler's bunker, speculating that he was not killed. He wrote that Hitler "had in him the stuff of which legends are made." But Henderson said in an interview last month that should not be misinterpreted as sympathy for the German dictator.He wrote in the diary that Hitler "had in him the stuff of which legends are made."
"He said that in reference to the mystery surrounding him and not the evil he represented," Henderson said.
Probably not your best effort but on the plus side it is also not your worst 😉
EDIT: 22 seconds to slow....i copied and pasted so much it cost me 😉

I hope that teaches you a valuable lesson 😉
I wonder when ninfan will do a bannon and finally call it quits.
By suggesting that Kennedy wrote in praise of Hitler, ninfan really shines as an example of "Troll as complete nincompoop".
How he hopes to impress by taking a quote completely out of context to support an argument so vapid in content and empty of meaning as risible.
Man's a fool, best ignored.

You mean like claiming that Trump supports Nazis?
Trump supports Nazis because Nazis support him & he needs their votes.
With bannon apparently out will the Nazis keep supporting him though ?
The Arts & Culture resignation is excellent. Have a look at the first letter of every paragraph.
Sadly I fear that's too subtle for The Donald who doesn't appear to be endowed with the ability to read much beyond a kid's colouring book but I admired it.
I do find the whole "responsible for your supporters" argument amusing
Especially since the KKK came out of the Democratic Party
Whataboutery 🙄
Get your head around this then:

Obviously, they must [i]all[/i] be racists and nazi sympathisers
And yet
How does it feel to consistently score home goals Ninfan?
But of course, Trump acting a bit Nazi-ish is going to improve his popularity among hardcore racist alt-righters/Nazis. Around 20 percent of the population of any country naturally vote for fascists, at any given time.
President Trump has praised Rasmussen Reports for producing "the most accurate" polls, although the latest news from the polling company might not have him so thrilled. As of Tuesday, Rasmussen finds Trump's "strong" approval rating is a mere 26 percent, while 45 percent of people "strongly disapprove" of the job he is doing in office.
Not much to argue with there. The divisions are deep as similar stats I posted earlier show. A surprising number of people think the white nationalists have a point.
I'd question the characterisation that this is an "elite" thing though. Not many of the people in Charlottesville (on either side) struck me as the political elite.
