I still think Vance and Thiel are the ones to actually fear and all of this just a distraction. That’s the white Christian nationalist and his billionaire puppet master right there - while these others fight and flame out, they’re the ones to watch.
Never forget about the quiet clever ones, standing back and watching patiently while the loudmouth braggadocious chuckleheads knock each other senseless. It’s all bread and circuses and noise noise noise for now. But when the field is cleared of all the posturing, brawling cannon fodder, they will swoop in all but unopposed to double-team the diapered Don.
I don’t know if it’s better that Vance and especially Thiel are competent and possess self-discipline, or worse. I suspect far worse.
There are what, a couple hundred billionaires out there? All donating and quietly donating cheering for the republicans to lower their taxes and erase environmental restrictions that keep them from raping the world.
I'm so skeptical of all the double crossing and infighting. Is it a distraction? Is this all part of Bannon's "flood the zone" edict? Because to be perfectly honest, I'm getting whiplash from all of the news and shiny objects of distraction while trying to focus in on the oligarchs and simply preserving any semblance of democracy at this point. There are so many levels to all of this madness, absurdity and insanity with everything everywhere all at once.
I agree, Miles vel Day. BEFORE inauguration day? Who could've even hoped for poetic justice this early in the game? The law of the universe... evil always ends up devouring itself. A more unpalatible meal I can't imagine.
Pretty sure Bannon can eat Musk for lunch. As disgusting as both are, my money’s on Steve. After all Elon is just a pale flabby druggie with big dreams & a deep festering psychological wound that keeps getting bigger no matter how much money he throws at it. With Musk it’s personal.
While Bannon is just a pissed off ex jail bird dying for a drink. But for now, getting rid of Musk will taste so much better than booze. It’s glorious. Broken men fight each other over who gets to control the halfwit.
I look at this through the historical lens. The comparison I come up with, since there are Hitlerian similarities here, is Night of the Long Knives where the Brownshirts, formerly Hitlers most loyal supporters, were eliminated. Bannon and the Proud Boys are the Brown shirts and are realizing they are about to get shafted. It will come down to several factors which ultimately neither Bannon or Musk can control. I think mutual destruction is the best we can hope for.
Funny that musk once interview abt unions. He doesn't like them bc upper management treat those union like peasants. He will do the same to h1b visas. Another hypocrite
One of the most scenic articles I've read in a dog's age. I laughed. I felt somehow vindicated. This is uncannily spot on. You just know truth when you read it. The puzzle feels complete. I'll have butter on mine, please!
Musk is a personal threat to Trump. He already has the ears of foreign autocrats who may decide they no longer need Trump as their puppet. Looking at you, Vlad. And given that Musk has personal wealth that rivals the GDPs of some small countries, there’s literally nothing stopping him from doing what he damn well pleases. And this, ultimately, is what Bannon finds threatening.
And what LDFF *should* find vitally threatening. Given that LDFF has only two modes I’ve been able to observe: fawning subservience up (with a mixture of 65% fear) and loathing and contempt down (with both a mixture of 64% fear that “they” might rise against him somehow).
Helluvan analysis. Brilliant, actually. It will play (fight) out exactly as you predict. Sooner than later. Unfortunately, there will be collateral damage from the explosive fallout.
I agree it’s unlikely Steve is going to win this one. He and Trump had a falling out in his first term. No real influence there. Add to that Elon has sidelined all the America first fascists by suspending or limiting their Twitter accounts. The only way Elon goes is if Trump gets sick of sharing the spotlight with him. Or when Elon starts to propose cuts to any social program like SS or veterans benefits -that might get the attention of the GOP base and there will be calls for him to go but most likely it will be the clash of ego that sends him packing.
Watching the alt-right trust fund babies and MAGAts like Steve Bannon backstabbing themselves is hilarious to witness. And FDJT isn't even in office for another week.
The 2 Aholes we have to deal with is MuskRatFart and the Orange Shitstain.. let the games begin. I’ll make the popcorn 🍿 .. the Orange Shitstain doesn’t play well with anyone. He wants complete control and be king forever.. I worry more about him not leaving office in 4 years and trying to stay as a DICKtaterTot.. He’s getting old I hope he chokes on his Diet Coke
If there's gonna be a fight, let it be to the death. No matter who loses between those two it results in a win for the rest of us.
Perfectly said, Mrs. Flick.

Musk, who is an actual literal Bond villain, actually scares me more than MAGA, so I’m glad he appears to be losing this battle.
Absolutely amazing they couldn’t even keep it together until inauguration.
With any luck at all they'll totally implode before Jan 19th.
Better- the fight breaks out during the inauguration ceremonies.

And Blofeld at least has a code of honor! I'd take him over MAGA *or* Musk.

I hope it right alongside you, lkalvan2003.
That was my insight as well MAGAts are mad dogs, violent thugs, used to threaten, but useless after the win. And like mad dogs they get put down.
After reading this, I think you're right. Bannon will likely lose this effort. But watching them piss all over each other will be sweet.

Re your last sentence, yes, and no one deserves to watch it go down than we do! Huzzah for the idiots!

Well said! The writing’s on the wall and I could see it right away as you’ve described. It just obviously can’t work

I'm an optimist. I haven't given up hope it happens before the 20th.
Get the popcorn. Make sure you have plenty in your pantry.🍿 STAY AWAY FROM THE DIET COKE !!!!
