Will Brietbart completely turn on Trump now?

It is possible he has some dirt on people in the White House which could come out.

it's 100% certain. I'm skeptical that Bannon will turn on him, but I guarantee Bannon has piles of dirt if necessary. We'll see if Bannon stays true to his dream of tearing the system down

I doubt it. I'm wondering if this is a strategy for Bannon to have more control over Breitbart and to make it more pro Trump

entirely possible

How could BB be any more pro Trump?

I just think it was because Bannon was caught leaking. It's funny with all the Republican rhetoric everything stays the same.. A republican gets caught doing what he was crusading against.

Bannon is not an idiot. He did that on purpose. For what specific purpose or reasoning is up in the air, but it reeks of orchestrated and planned.

Bannon and Brietbart is just going to go hardcore against any enemies of Trump, which includes both Democrats and Republicans.

It really depends on how much of their lives are orchestrated. The Mooch just this last week on Colbert was saying the president should fire Bannonbart. Either the Mooch did come in as planned to take out Prebius and Bannon or the Mooch really did find the leakers and it makes sense it was those two.

I've watched some of Bannon's docs and seen two of his speeches. He would seem to hate a guy like Trump tbh. It's entirely possible that guy was right when Bannon supposedly told him that Bannon himself was a "Leninist".

"There are no morals in politics; there is only expedience. A scoundrel may be of use to us just because he is a scoundrel"

If Bannon is indeed "trying to suck his own cock". Getting fired from the position that gave him a shadow position to run a state propaganda news outlet has gotta sting. Really though if you read Breitbart, I have them on my facebook for the comments section, nothing will change for them. If they ever went against Trump they'd lose everything.

Good question. Is this the beginning of the backlash ? http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2017/08/18/steve-bannon-gone-trump-risks-becoming-arnold-schwarzenegger-2-0/

I would guess the opposite. Bannon can now publish anything he wants on Breitbart without fear of it being attached to him as a White House official. I just can't figure what he was holding back on, that now he can publish. A more anti-left stance on Charlottesville that will be labeled as pro-Nazi by MSM?

This is assuming he left somewhat amicably. If McMasters and Kelly forced him out and Trump sided with them, Bannon may change.

On next weeks episode of west wing apprentice you will never guess who gets fired!

Next up as Bannon's replacement: Alex Jones

Now this is something I think everyone here would be on for.

No thanks.

If that were to happen, you'd bet mass hysteria would increase exponentially

no no...Van Jones

(still over here laughing for a solid 3 minutes without even hitting save yet)

He's claiming he resigned like ten days ago lol.

Lol what a boss

Do we have a source for this claim?

It's being reported everywhere now

Toppest of keks

Should be interesting to see the fallout. Bannon is one of the few people that actually has the ability to hurt Donald Trump politically.

Very true. Bannon can drag the Council for National Policy away from Trump, which would be essentially fatal to his support base at this point.

Do you have any link to show that Bannon is actually important in that council ?

Thanks.

Here's the membership list that someone managed to smuggle out.

Thanks, what I meant was how much influence he still has with them...

Steve Bannon is Council for National Policy, along with Betsy Devos, Kellyanne Conway, and Erik Prince of Blackwater. Mike Cernovich is their unofficial spokesman.

Membership list. Connections to people that want a Christian theocracy. Explanation of their influence.

Or are they just Christian Zionists?

Is this TPTB's reaction to Trump not condeming Nazis? Were things getting too America-first for the Zionists?

I would agree with your theory, it was likely about optics. A few other thoughts, though.

McMaster and Kelly are deep state and forced Bannon out. This wouldn't bode well for Mattis being a good guy. I don't really think this is the case, since the call was ultimately Trump's.

Bannon could be getting ready to publish something, be it evidence or an opinion/narrative, on Breitbart that he would get too much flak for if still in official capacity.

It's a distraction. The Purple Revolution has begun in earnest, Assange hinted at such and recently turned over information to a congresswoman to give to Trump. Movements are happening in the background, and this is cover to distract from something.

If the White House knew that Unite the Right was bait before-hand, he could have resigned a few days ahead of time to make sure Bannon was ahead of any fallout. August 7 was also pretty shortly after Kelly got up and running, I bet he was putting pressure to drop him. Bannon will probably get a longer leash and be able to do whatever he wants without the backlash being immediately attached to Trump.

Let's hope he keeps up with his "alt-right are clowns" style rather than sparking tensions more than they need to be right now. Making a big move towards re-energizing the far right will tear his 'economic nationalism' apart if civil tensions start to upset the economy.

Jeff sessions needs to be next.

No he resigned. Get your facts straight. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/pa/article-4803500/Strategist-Steve-Bannon-leaving-White-House-sources-say.html

So Bannon, the Breitbart/GS "neo-nazi," "secretly resigned" a week before Charlottesville?

And Kelly went from DHS to Chief of Staff, while the DHS front Cloudflare made this bizarre display?

This is a full-on coup.

Maybe this is all just an elaborate scheme to have the left embrace Breitbart? Let's see Bannon's next move. We'd all be foolish to think that these two are going to sever ties completely.

I think Bannon was the reason Trump kept hedging his language on what happened in Charlottesville, and the ensuing fallout was the final straw in the shit sandwich that was Bannon's counsel.

What - you actually thought you had a choice?!

He quit August 11th.

Guess The Mooch did his job well. ;)

Get ready, here comes some excitement.

He looks like a bloated J Peterman.
