Bannon: So just in the last week we’ve stabbed our supporters in the back on health care, threatened to defund needed food programs for the elderly, and indicated we might start a war with North Korea.
Trump: That’s great, that’s terrific. But what else can we do?
Bannon: Hmmm. Perhaps we could make wild and unsubstantiated claims about one of our closest allies. The UK, maybe?

I’m betting on spontaneous combustion (or another health-related reason), but I think the time frame is about right. He may make it past the holidays, but that’s all I’d give him.
Two days after shouting “I don’t fucking know maybe ask him yourself!” at a reporter asking for the 90th time what Trumps thoughts on the latest enormous dam failure in the country were, Spicer developed a strong, irresistible curiosity about what polonium tastes like.
The official position of the United States of America is now “If someone said it on TV and/or the Internet it must be true!” ladies and gentlemen. Just let that sink in for a little bit.
On an unrelated note, WaPo must be killing it on political coverage this month, because I was out of monthly free page views by the 15th.
I heard a Republican apologist say today that all the Russian talk should end until someone produces evidence showing something actually happened, right after he said that he wouldn’t be surprised if Obama actually did wiretap Trump.
Flynn was a ‘volunteer’ – he was just calling people to remind them of their polling location! He 100% never had the highest ranking military position in the White House!
