Let's hope both he and fake Ph.D. but genuine Nazi Seb Gorka get tossed out on their fat asses.

(32,678 posts)It seems that nobody likes Bannon and he's holding the right cards now. My guess is that somebody high up will try to get rid of him real soon. (They've probably already tried.)
We know that Bannon knows how to play the game and out-smart these amateurs. It's gonna get ugly.
