Schadenfreude isn't everything, but it helps

This week's been an interesting one. Not happy-making, by any means, but slightly less ulcer-inducing, not least for the omnipresent leaks that Steve Bannon may be out of favor with His Imperial Orangeness. So I shouldn't be surprised that Trump's core supporters are apparently beginning to freak out. From the sound of things, they are beginning to believe that -- the terrible truth dawns -- Donald Trump might not have been entirely honest with them!

The situation still sucks, and we need to keep the pressure up. But for now, I'm quietly enjoying the view of these assholes panicking because they aren't getting to destroy the country as efficiently as they want...

I think it's WAY too early in the game for that. I believe Bannon may be down but I wouldn't count him out, not by a long shot. If Bannon goes I'm assuming it'll be on his own terms with a continuing direct line to Trump's ear. He may have decided that being in the spotlight meant taking too much heat. The Rasputins have always operated better in the shadows anyway.

Quite possible -- I'm not making any assumptions about what's really going on here yet. I'm merely being amused by the freak-out...
