Memo to Bannon

General Discussion General Chat

[His assistants monitor these outlets…]

  • You said Musk would be out of there by Inauguration Day; it would be your personal responsibility to accomplish that.

  • AFTER Inauguration Day, you called Trump a “moderate MAGA”.

So does a “moderate MAGA” permit Musk to have just as much power as Trump? For his own ends, not the ends of MAGAs who work??

A man cannot serve two masters: whose side are you on? The oligarchs or the workers?? You have been SAYING the workers, but talk is cheap and your continued endorsement of Trump giving Musk a pass cannot possibly jive with working man and woman interests…

I guess he agrees with Trump that Trump is not good enough to do any presidential duties on his own. He must think that Trump is basically good for nothing but blabbering on into delusion while Musk wrecks the Constitution and country faster than he has everything else in his broken little life. Not only does Bannon clearly not support the working class, but he’s completely delighted to be ruled by an utterly incompetent diarchy.

Thanks for agreeing on that obvious conclusion.

His H1B position was just a ham-handed attempt to restore his working class credibility. He can’t pull it off; it’s a Bridge Too Far…

You say one thing, Steve; your “MAGA Moderate” says another!

Sorry: your center is not holding…

Have you thought about going to the Operation Hope Town Hall Meetings? There’s one this Wednesday from 7:30 - 8:30 CST. I think you would be a tremendous asset!

I don’t think I would be so good; I have little hope at this point. I just point out the obvious.

For the immediate counteraction of floating the idea of States leaving the US. it has to be proposed and formulated by governors; then referendums would need to be conducted on it (not just whether to leave, but picking out a template for a new basis of laws for a new federation…) So it’s out of our hands; all we can do is remark on the obvious.

That would get the Supreme Court and the Repubs to spit-take their coffee. It would wreck the idea of the oligarchs taking control of the US, once it starts going fractional and making it hard to pull off their lawless shit in the new federations.

I think Maine and Vermont are in a great position given an interstate route they could conduct through Canada, in return for building a new highway along the US border and paying tolls. Trade with them would be a natural.

If Sununu was still governor of New Hampshire, I know he’s be down for it! I also know some citizens of NH who hate Trump and also would be down for it -but the present governor appears to be a Trump apologist? Enjoy, honey.

Vermont and Maine need to get discussions going. I would suggest keeping NY and Massachusetts out of the initial discussions, to prevent a reintroduction of the Dem Party, whose tenets would be diametrically opposed to what I outlined here:

Don’t let the name throw you off; hope ebbs and flows. Right now, the group is really focused on the whole Populist Plank idea, but we haven’t divided into groups or anything like that yet (at least, I don’t think we have). Maybe it would help give you a bit of hope. I’m just sayin’, I think you’d be great. I won’t keep bugging you about it, though. :smiling_face:

There is a poll being taken on whether to have Bannon as a guest on TYT. I think it’s a good idea, as long as it’s moderated by somebody not too biased (Cenk would be too biased, but having him as a panel member is a no-brainer…)

Since the President of the Teamsters endorsed neither Trump nor Harris, I think he would be great for the role. And boy: would he ask some probing questions!

Better be bringing receipts to this one on the claims of “fraudulent” spending. Wasteful? Sure, there must have been some. But unless they MISLABELED what it was spent on, that’s not fraud.

Maybe review some spending from Trump’s first term <sarcasm> -the MAGA ““moderate””</sarcasm>

I agree. I don’t mind Bannon, or anyone, being on the show. What I do mind are softball interviews.

OR anarchistic ones where people interrupt each other. Moderators should always have control of the mics.

A prior debate between Cenk and Francesca went that way; they were too close to the issues to patiently wait their turns.

He’s beyond absurd! My dad is going to be 74 in April, so it’s like this complete freak could be my dad or uncle or something. I tell you what, my dad and uncles would kick his slimy, little ass if he were in my family.

Turks segment:

Bannon is jumping on the Dis-the-Oligarchs train (where was this talk months ago?) because he saw that town hall in a southern Rebub district (link) that showed how fed up THEY were getting with Trump’s embrace of them. The ground is moving beneath his feet on the Repub side, and he is angling to save his relevance.

I am looking forward to this possible appearance by Bannon on Turks. Cenk: you have to let the president of the Teamsters, who endorsed neither party, moderate! You can’t choose a pro-Trump position at the same time as an anti-oligarch one. He will have to cut Stupid Hitler loose, even if that means losing ownership of his MAGA cult. He is losing control of it anyway.

Musk also sees the ground moving beneath his feet; how else to explain:

  • redacting the town hall video from “X”; and

  • his sudden denials that he is not in charge of DOGE?

This is the first sign of an open rift between Trump and Musk!

Musk: “I am NOT in charge of DOGE…”

Trump: “Oh yes you are! [You think I’m going to take the fall for the shitty way you handled it??]”

The payments are a desperate attempt to curry favor with the voters. Just one problem with that: that’s spending, and it requires the approval of Congress. They might get it, but stay tuned.

Such a payment still won’t placate all the damage that has been done.

Simple summary analysis: people who voted for Trump this time around were looking for a market bounce (corporations: “yay! no taxes!!”) like they got in 2016-2018. So far they are getting anything but! This next week, I wouldn’t want to be wrapped up in the market (never mind Tesla and hype AI stocks!) Stupid Hitler was in a bubble, just like actual Hitler was when he went after Russia.

We will not be voting our way out of this. These are criminals who will not take a hint at stepping down like Biden did. [And the more cynical among us were expecting this bad outcome, but hey: the Dem Party gave us no Open Convention after Biden stepped down, so they and the Repubs are both squarely to blame for this situation.] A contingency for protests and strikes is planned for, and they will use lawful civil protest as an excuse to suspend any real vote in 2026. What will oligarchs care about strikes when they have well-stocked bunkers?

I shared my opinion on these forums already: the STATES have to step up and act to fill the void of a rule of law invited by the foolishness of the conservative majority on the Supreme Court (UNLESS a majority of the Court were to realize the error of its ways and then the Repubs were to follow suit and restore respect for the courts and penalties when people blow off court orders…)

If the Court acts to stop the lawlessness, the first thing Congress would need to do is limit the number of pardons a president can grant to some hard number (based on an average, from the 20th century to present…) I think 1,000 per term should do it:

Until an Article 25 is brought against Trump, if it comes to that, the unlimited pardons is effectively a hole in The Ship of State that can sink it because the excessive abuse of pardons effectively overrides the judicial branch.

To Bannon’s credit: he served his sentence when he opposed a court order (not to say I think he was right to not comply with the court order…)

I retract my suggestion that the President of the Teamsters moderate a Bannon appearance on Turks (note that this position he states was made AFTER I had made that suggestion…)

Looks to me that he is appeasing the MAGA cult in his union.

I said it to Bannon, and I’ll say it to him too: a man cannot serve two masters. Choose: worker rights or Stupid Hitler…

Turks Segment; Bannon: “You can tell President Trump doesn’t completely trust the oligarchs…”

??
He IS an oligarch. His cabinet is STACKED with oligarchs. What the hell are you talking about?

Give it up Steve! If you want to keep pro-worker cred, you will have to cut Stupid Hitler loose…
