Reaction to Bannon being removed--freepers are absolutely delusional.

I just checked in on the freep reaction and it's crazy.

Many of them are claiming that this is "fake news" because Bannon "stepped down" from the NSC four weeks ago in order to take on an even larger and more important role in other White House matters.

The "stepping down" four weeks ago was a "promotion" to an even better position.

I re-checked sources and, of course, Bannon's removal just happened this morning and it's possible he is being stripped of his security clearance.

There is no f#cking way that this is a promotion. It's a disaster for trump's agenda.

Their hate and ignorance will give trump and team enough credibility to finally destroy us all.

Even if world war doesnt happen, he has already began the literal END of government regulations protecting our air, water and food supply.

That 35% is so filled with rage over a black president that they will demand their own destruction. Trump will destroy them, and us, and they will never relent.

they think any democrat in the WH is evil. Think Clinton FDR etc. I worked with a woman in the 27% (crazification factor) who thought Carter was behind the kidnapping of our people in Iran. She despised him.

And I follow the Internet approach that it is 27% set because that is how many people voted for Keyes when he ran for Senate against Obama. YMMV

completely lost what little of a mind they had when a black man named Obama was elected.

Then reelected.

But yes they are brainwashed to believe liberals and democrats are their enemy, when in fact it is liberals that make every facet of their life possible.

I've been checking Free Republic intermittently for several years now. (Aside from the entertainment value, which is reliable, I like to know what the RWNJs are saying.) Support for the likes of Bannon is perfectly consistent with their ethos over the years.

Just to give you an idea, someone has a post today titled "PROMINENT MEMBERS OF THE DEMOCRAT HALL OF FAME". Along with actual Democrats, the list includes Paul Ryan and John McCain.

The posts about Bannon are from real people who are perfectly sincere, unless the Russians decided years ago to put major effort into infiltrating a nest of right-wing loons. I think the Russians are smarter than that.

I'm ready for the noise. Something must be about to come out. Bannon has been way too important to Trump for this to just happen out of nowhere.

A White House official said that Bannon was placed on the committee in part to monitor Trump’s first national security adviser, Michael Flynn, and never attended a meeting.


Monitor Flynn???????!

WTF.

republicans & their russian allies mourn the showtime diminishment (wink, wink) of yet another of their top "family-values" role models.

...did not let it be known that trump* and ESPECIALLY badnews bannon* were so horribly out of their league and fucking with things of which they had no clue, that either they made changes ASAP or changes would be made for them.
