Reminder that a month ago Politico did a puffy soft focus interview with Steve Bannon, who today literally threw up a Nazi salute at CPAC. Inexcusably terrible editorial judgment at the time and looks even worse now.

I’d love to get Kara’s take on bannon. I think he’s one of the smartest of the bunch also most dangerous/evil. He seems to be an acolyte of “4th turning” the book. I think he’s doing his part to usher that in and just sees trump et al as tools to hurry it along.

It’s so fucking gross

That right there is a top tier analogy!

I heard there are real fine people on both sides of this spat...
Scratch that, they're all Nazi fucks. Watch them shred each other to bits and finish the last ones breathing.

Why is there a CPAC every week now?

Who are the owners of Politico?

Yeah, I don't think you give him air time, but it makes me think of Churchill's "If Hitler were to invade Hell, I'd give the Devil at least a favorable mention in the House of Commons". Bannon seems destined to implode, and the risk may be worth the infighting it causes.

Again, that fucking plea deal should be overturned. Bannon belongs in prison. His co-conspirators are there.

I'm a stickler for proper nomenclature. It's "Das Politico."

Politico's ownership has gone full MAGA so I'm starting to feel cognitive dissonance here

no one remember how hard it is to get a copy of Mein Kampf and than have the audacity to sign it and offer it as a gift to Trump, who is that money bro dude?

You are one of my favorite follows on this amazing app. You always make me think; you sometimes make me do random internet searches so I can figure out the references. Thanks for all you’re doing so that we may better understand what’s happening in our country right now.

The irony is he would’ve made just as much money with little to no chance of criminal prosecution had he kept his ass on Wall Street

Wake up, we are F**ked!!

A side note, but I’m loving these panels you are doing. I’ve been listening with rapt attention.

Why exactly did he not fail upwards into the 2nd administration? Is there no room at the inn for the hobo intellectual? So glad you didn’t interview that wretch.

We have a nazi problem for a reason and it’s not just because of the ones publicly professing it! They know they have allies cheering them on in secret, because in their jobs it’s not a good look!

Bannon is on that now?

Good

Start wearing the uniforms too now.
Get the little hats

Go all in on the craziness

Agree... he said Trump would dump Musk almost immediately! IMO, Trump with his blatant diminished capacity, respects Musk's riches SO MUCH, he is thankful, grateful and relieved to have him as "co" president! FORE!

franssu.bsky.social•1 day ago

Trump, when he's not calling himself a king or a very stable genius, is very obviously subservient to the people who saved his ass, like Putin and Musk.
