Let's face it. Trump has the office. Bannon has the power.
Every appointment to every cabinet department has been put there to destroy that department.
Hundreds of high ranking federal positions have not yet been filled and there's no one in the pipeline.
Bannon's mission in life is to dismantle the government of the United States and replace it with ... ? Himself? Trump is merely a tool in this exercise in destruction.
The Republican Party will do nothing to stop this.
The Democratic Party does not have the power to stop it.
So here's the BIG question. What are the rest of us Americans going to do? If anything.

(31,112 posts)The SC itself now understands once Bannon and Putin are done, they will be nonexistent, so they may do the right thing.
Cant count on GOP to do the right thing, and even some Democrats. I think we are fucked even if and especially if he is impeached.
Pence is so full of hate and intolerance he was being thrown out of a RED state, that is how horrible and ugly he is.
He perfectly represents that 30% of America that absolutely hates everybody.

And for anyone who skipped over it, here's the link that Eliot Rosewater posted:

(21,743 posts)Bannon and Trump have absolutely NO regard for the laws of this country or the Constitution. They blatantly and flagrantly violate them over and over. Trump even said he would not acknowledge the results of the election if he lost and his Brownshirts and deplorables still voted for him.
So, even IF the Supreme Court rules against them, my guess is that we will see a paramilitary defiance of the law.
Republicans know this, but they are in on it as well. At least in effect. I am still waiting to see even one true patriot in the GOP.
