Now that Steve Bannon is openly taking on the Republican establishment for the 2018 mid-term elections in open opposition to dear old Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY), I am suspicious.
Not about whether Steve Bannon is really going to take on the good old boys of the Senate and the Deep State. Talk about a happy warrior!
No, what I am wondering about is the whole story about his departure from the White House, back in... wow, it was just yesterday, in August! That's when Maggie Haberman and her team at the New York Times wrote their piece headlined "Stephen Bannon Out at the White House After Turbulent Run."
But I think that dear old Maggie missed the real story. Here's what I think went down in the Oval Office.
In fact what about the Harvey Weinstein case? Rush Limbaugh was complaining today. He said that if Weinstein had been a Republican the whole Democratic-MSM complex would have come out in unison chorus saying that every Republican was a party to this unjust example of white male supremacy ruthlessly victimizing innocent young female and LGBTQ hopefuls in the entertainment industry. But when it's the Democrat's bigfoot contributor and pal, we hear crickets from the GOP NeverTrump chaps.
The whole point of the Trump candidacy and the Bannon phenomenon is that the days of gentlemanly conservatism are over. Now we are going to take it straight to the lefty solar plexus and they ain't gonna like it. Nor are the GOP fossils that learned their politics in the days when it was death to get on the wrong side of the Democrats and their willing accomplices in the media.
And obviously, one of the big jobs is to persuade the vacillators to choose sides. Sen. Corker recently chose the anti-Trump side after deciding that reelection in 2018 might be too hard for him. But if 2018 turns a few of the 21 Democratic seats up for reelection and elects a few Trumpists on the GOP side there will be more senators choosing to go along and get along with the Trump project.
Don't forget my catchphrase: There is no such thing as justice, only injustice. At least not as far as politics is concerned. That's because Government is Force, and anyone on the receiving end of government force experiences it as injustice.
My point is that there are tons of people that have suffered injustice under the cultural and political reign of liberals. Most of them are in the Republican Party, and the white working class is the latest to join the colors. But then there are the cat ladies, the women that believed the feminist rhetoric, and now find themselves single and alone and seeing therapists about depression and wondering what went wrong. Then there are African Americans that have been incredibly loyal Democrats for half a century, for what? So America could pat itself on the back that it elected a black president? So the average black kid could grow up in a single-parent household watching a parade of mom's lovers? So inner-city black kids could go the the worst schools?
For half a century these people have been suffering from liberal injustice but the Republican Party did not know how to talk to them and do something about the injustice. Until Trump.
And Bannon.

Conservatives groused that they lost a key advocate inside the White House and worried aloud that Mr. Trump would shift left, while cheers erupted on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange when headlines about Mr. Bannon’s ouster appeared. Both the Standard & Poor’s 500 stock index and the Dow Jones industrial average immediately rose, though they ended the day slightly down.Hey kids! When did the Times ever care what the Dow did? But the point is that the Times clearly thought that it was good riddance to bad rubbish, now that someone had rid the White House of its troublesome monk.
But I think that dear old Maggie missed the real story. Here's what I think went down in the Oval Office.
Bannon: Hey, Mr. President, I don't think I'm really achieving much here at the White House playing bureaucratic games with pygmies.Is that what happened? We will never know. But let us think about the facts of the case.
The President: OK, Steve, Big Boy. What do you suggest?
Bannon: I think I would do better getting outside the White House and taking the battle to your opponents out in the public square.
The President: Terrific, Steve, what's the deal?
Bannon: Here's what I want to do. I want to get out and rev Breitbart News back up to ramming speed, and I want to steal all the GOP donors from Mitch and Paul and the rest of the usual suspects. Then we can back a bunch of non-establishment candidates and really turn the Senate.
The President: Outstanding, Steve! Tell me more.
Bannon: See, I think that your problem is that the average GOP senator needs to think twice or thrice before he or she votes against your agenda. And right now, they feel they can get away with voting against you.
The President: Tremendous! When can you start? But you can't just leave with my approval. That would set the wrong tone. Sad!
Bannon: Exactly, Mr. President, you are a genius. I think that I should leave under a cloud, as the mad genius that couldn't quite fit in. Maybe we should tee up Maggie Haberman to do a too-hot-to-handle piece.
The President: Steve, that's fantastic! Then I could be the good cop to your bad cop. Imagine me as the good cop! Incredible! Imagine you running around pissing everybody off instead of me. That would really line us up for an amazing mid-term.
Bannon: You said it, Mr, President. I'll coordinate with Gen. Kelly to choose the best way to get out the door.
The President: Terrific, Steve. Go get 'em!
