Well the tweet didn't specify with whom but the panel on CNN speculated it meant war with Trump and what Brietbart perceives as the 'Democrats' in the White House.

Grab your popcorn, boys & girls. Amid reports fired aide Steven Bannon plans to "go ugly", senior editor at @BreitbartNews just tweeted #WAR

Suggestion from another Bannon pal that now they see the WH as 'Democrat'.

Bloody ell, just popped to Aldis and its all kicked off!

Bannon to go ugly? Sorry but the HMS Gargoyle has already sailed...

Seriously, after his outburst on Charlottesville, does that shitarse bastard ridiculous excuse for a human being, Trump, really thing firing Bannon is going to make himself look any better?

*think, not thing.

Well yes llionheart, it's all coded language isn't it? The 'Democrats' in the White House are also globalists and 'New York elites'. Which is not exactly subtle is it?

Just revolting.

Lweji Many people feared Clinton's foreign policy more that Trumps b cause there was experience of hers

Even many democrats expressed this every person I know who voted for Hilary (and the many posts I saw on fb) said along the lines I voted for her even though I don't really trust her

What she said in the second clip was very interesting and probably much of it a bit too honest for many Americans to deal with

I'm still not sure that he really has. (In his own mind, anyway.)

Hello everyone- long term lurker here. The last time I posted I was genuinely worrying that we were about to be vaporised in a nuclear bomb. New week, new terrifying shitstorm I suppose! I guess i am glad we are all still alive, however dismayed. I don't have anything of any value to add but I just wanted to thank you all again for your persisting and resisting - I'm not sure how many people follow these threads but I truly believe there are loads of us and that these posts help so much. I look here before I look to the news now. I guess tonight will be another sleepless one, as I wonder if bannon is really gone, if he will talk and, most crucially, what trump's base will think of this? Deep State? Obama? Hillary's Emails?

I'm wondering if something mueller-related has spooked him and he's jumping ship to disassociate. Trump's White House has always been and total shambles but I'm sensing a pressure cooker about to blow somehow. Whatever, I think Trumps days are numbered but I now shudder to think what the putrid aftermath is going to look like. Poor America 😔

I was off Twitter for about 20 minutes and this happened.

I think it's a sign of complete desperation, not that Dump would ever acknowledge such a feeling. One scapegoat after another.

isn't there a mental health factor that can be used to impeach a President?

also at this point I don't understand how or why any of his team still want to work with Dump. I realise there's no political career afterwards but they can write books and go on Dancing with the Stars?

or will America just watch and be mildly amused and vote him again?

I don't know WTF anything is anymore.

So, if Brietbart did turn the wankers Trump base against him, do we think GOP would go along with Trump impeachment?

Armed militia in the US make it all a bit dangerous though.

He's The President, Slim. That's almost a mythical/religious being to most Americans.

Cozie - yes. or more worryingly, people will support him and he'll get in again and so on. I don't know enough people in the US to know.

But many things that he said during the election were so alarming, I do tend to see Charlottesville as not a shock - so if people understood what they were voting for, I guess they have got what they wanted.

I waver between thinking people can't be this evil and then thinking, is the alternative that they were that stupid? It was very clear who he was at election time.

Yep, but an awful lot of sentient US voters have realised that he has brought the Office of the President into extreme disrepute and if the country wants to have a leading place on the world stage in future, they're going to have get their White House in order pdq, or they'll just be a worldwide source of amusement and disdain.

ah, charities pulling out of galas at his resorts now

Quais - but going insular and not worrying about the rest of the world was part of his selling technique.

Something good's come out of today after all.

"Trump was Trump before Bannon came on the scene"

True, Slim, though I used the word "sentient" advisedly.

So many dramatic events in quick succession. As repugnant as the whole situation is it certainly makes for fascinating viewing. Twenty years from now bookshops will have whole sections given over to Trump's administration and every university politics course in the world will have a Trump module.

What she said in the second clip was very interesting and probably much of it a bit too honest for many Americans to deal with

It was. It just felt hypocritical, because although she obviously wasn't the only not even the main reason Hillary lost to Trump, it's people like her who essentially gave Trump his victory. And they're speaking now from the top of their supposed moral high grounds when they relativised Trump. He was clearly already all that he is now. She even acknowledged his racism.
But, apparently, Hillary was more dangerous.
It makes me angry to hear her now.

I remember reading something ages ago about Bannon's Big Plan - he believes that there needs to be a chaotic disruption to the political status quo in order to reset the order of things and topple the elites (essentially what that poster Claig used to talk about). Maybe trump feels that bannon has done enough now- he's achieved trumps end and mobilised a steadfast base that follow him however low the bar sinks. So he can now dispose of bannon and carry on without him as excess baggage. Chillingly sociopathic but I wouldn't put it past a Trump who was able to change tack and instantly squeeze in a quick plug about his winery at the end of the Charlottesville q&a.
