Минус Бэннон

[tijd.livejournal.com]

Лично для Стива Бэннона - песня из сериала Treme под названием "I quit!"

FUCK all of you bitches!
I’m so sick of your shit.
Youuuuu caaaaaaan’t fire me…..I quit!

Рейчел Мэддоу обращает внимание на странность выбора Бэннона и на то, что в отличие от других странных выборов Трампа, Бэннон напрямую не связан с Россией.

Если какие-то связи прослеживаются, то их две:

1. Идеологическая, через Дугина.

2. Через Мерсера и Cambridge Analytica с их операцией по микротаргетинг и возможным выходом на российских хакеров.

В любом случае революция отменяется, можно сразу переходить к дискотеке.

Пишут, что Бэннон встречался с Мерсером перед уходом, к слову:

"Steve Bannon, who is leaving his role as chief strategist to President Donald Trump, met with Trump megadonor Robert Mercer this week, an informal adviser to the White House with knowledge of the meeting tells Newsweek. The source asked for anonymity because he is close with Bannon. Axios also reported that the meeting took place.
...
The source with knowledge of this week’s meeting told Newsweek that the get-together was likely to discuss Bannon’s future plans. Despite the closeness between the Mercers and Bannon, such a meeting was rare, according to the source. His future plans could be tied to the Mercers, according to the Axios report."

Мерсер, конечно, придурошный, но его мотивация остаётся загадкой.

Играет ли в этом какую-то роль иск IRS на $7 миллиардов?

The Internal Revenue Service is demanding a whopping $7 billion or more in back taxes from the world’s most profitable hedge fund, whose boss’s wealth and cyber savvy helped Donald Trump pole-vault into the White House.
Suddenly, the government’s seven-year pursuit of Renaissance Technologies LLC is blanketed in political intrigue, now that the hedge fund’s reclusive, anti-establishment co-chief executive, Robert Mercer, has morphed into a political force who might be owed a big presidential
With Trump in the Oval Office, Mercer and his daughter Rebekah, who has become his public voice, seem armed with political firepower every which way you look – and that’s even though presidential adviser Stephen Bannon, their former senior executive and political strategist, appears to have recently lost influence.

Кстати, с Трампом он тоже накануне встречался.

President Trump dined on Thursday night at his Bedminster golf club with a handful of the right’s most generous donors, as he tried to build support for his hobbled legislative agenda amid mounting criticism from within his own party, three people briefed on the dinner said. <...>
The invited donors and their families have combined to donate millions of dollars to committees supporting Mr. Trump’s campaign and inauguration, and Mr. Trump’s team hopes they will contribute millions more to groups pushing his legislative agenda. They included the New York investor Robert Mercer, the Kentucky coal executive Joseph W. Craft and the Wisconsin roofing magnate Diane Hendricks, according to people familiar with the dinner.
