that + whatever he knows makes him dangerous, but probably this is kabuki to drive breitbart page impressions and to feed trump's ego. he'll be back in with trump soon.

I mean the practical effect is it fractures a perceived unified front where 'the GOP' as defined downplays or actively rails against claims of collusion, Mueller's work etc. Now someone who was working with Trump out and in of the White House for a year is one record as saying 'nah, something's there.' There's already a rapid closing of ranks in response but even so -- and, as I've thought about more and more this morning, it's...interesting that Bannon seems terribly unworried about this probe, which theoretically could affect him. Makes me wonder a bit -- saw a claim earlier that he's been mentioned nowhere in Mueller's team's public interview schedule. By now you'd think they would have talked to him, and maybe they have...
― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 3 January 2018 19:39 (six years ago) link
It certainly will make the Nunes and Meadows types in the House to think twice about criticizing Mueller. After all, they had their eye firmly on a base besotted with Bannon/Breitbart.

I mean, there's a reason Mitch McConnell is jubilant, and I'm guessing the DNC is slightly disappointed. The road to a blue senate probably got a bit harder. But Trumpism died a while back, and if Bannonism goes as well, the worst might be over. Time to sit down, make the plan to do single payer as quickly as possible in 21.

Heard on the radio that the Manafort thing is so totally stupid that his attorney should be fined. Prosecutors, let alone public servant prosecutors, are apparently immune from lawsuits like that, especially from a current defendant in a criminal trial.

Trumpism itself is a byproduct of ever-increasing alienation and disenfranchisement. Without detectable material improvements in peoples' lives, it will be replaced (if, indeed, it's actually gone anywhere) with something similar or worse

It's something I began to think because of a book by a Danish theorist, analyzing Trump as an especially American gaudy form of fascism. But then everything that he wrote about had been dormant for a while. Remember back when Trump used to travel around and announce he saved American jobs all over? Yeah, he stopped doing that a while back. And then I think it finally ended when he endorsed Luther Strange and lost. It just seemed quite obvious that something else was going on, and Trump was following, rather than leading it. Bannon has tried explicitly to lead it, but he seems to be failing hard right now.

BTW, the scariest thing about potential President Ivanka is that she's, like, 30, and rich as shit, so she could run again and again forever until eventually maybe she lucks into winning, like her dad.
I got in an argument with a devil's advocate minded friend about whether or not Trump deserves credit for winning. And I was like, no, the fucker got lucky, there is no sign any of his achievements were intentional, and that goes for his shitty business as well. Yeah, he made money, but he's no Warren Buffet or Carl Ichan style evil genius. The only people who admire Trump are people who look and act like his son. I can't imagine anyone serious takes him seriously.
