Kushner vs Bannon

Obama made it look like being president was so easy that anyone could do it. It's not and they can't. Seeing Trump win, makes every rich asshole think anyone can become president. Let's hope that isn't true either.

The new season will likely divert viewers from reality with an epic brawl between Bannon/Mercer and their racist nationalists in one corner and Kushner/Cohn and their greed-obsessed kleptocrats in the other. Ratings could be higher than Game of Thrones, which is starting to feel a little long in the tooth with the zombiefication of Viserion Sunday night.

Anyone who doesn't understand that the hand behind troubles Kushner-in-law is suffering lately is Steve Bannon's probably has an attention span as short as Señor Trumpanzee's. The two have been in a vicious turf war from day one and Bannon's allies made it clear the last time The Kush scored a point against Darth Bannon that he was about to see his world cave in on him.

On Monday morning Raw Story's Brad Reed listed 5 reasons why anonymous White House officials say they can't stand Kushner-in-law. It helps explain the flood of leaks about him from inside the Trump Regime-- though the list sort of inexplicably belies the animus from the Bannon camp...

One of the guys I count on for Nunes inside scoops has been talking a lot about a fringe alt-right nut named Mike Cernovich lately. Other than him being the one who made up the bizarre fake news story of Hillary and Podesta running a child prostitution ring in a DC pizzeria, I hadn't followed Cernovich's illustrious career as one of the exemplar's of what the Republican Party has devolved into.

For the last 30-40 hours, there have been media reports-- despite denials from Sp[icy Spice that anything is wrong-- that Trump told Priebus to get Kushner-in-law and Bannon to bury the hatchet.

Earlier today we looked at the blossoming civil war inside the White House. It's very much related to nothing much getting done-- and there is no issue besides repeal and replace where there is as much finger-pointing and fury. Trump may not care what's in the bill, but he certainly wants a "win." He blames different people daily, although Ryan and the Freedom Caucus seem get the bulk of it on various days.

Trump is deciding on scapegoats to blame for his spectacularly failed first couple of months in the White House. Mike Allen thinks it may well be curtains for Bannon... and for Reince Priebus.

Which Bannon acolyte leaked the story yesterday that Ivanka Trump met secretly with Planned Parenthood's president, Cecile Richards a couple weeks after Trump's failed inauguration ceremony?

Supposedly it was a "him or me" moment for National Security Advisor H.R. McMaster.
