"Holy War"

http://www.gq.com/story/cuck-fight?mbid=social_facebook

When the news broke yesterday that Steve Bannon had abruptly booted from President Trump's National Security Council, the White House practically pulled a hamstring trying to spin the story as a carefully considered, mutually agreed-upon decision that had Bannon's full support. Because Bannon is a power-hungry sociopath who considers it his responsibility to "destroy the administrative state," the administration's decision to loudly downplay the move sounded awfully dubious, and today, the other shoe dropped.


What a shock that a White House headed by the AARP-eligible king of the alt-right and a Millennial lifelong Democrat is having trouble putting together anything resembling a coherent policy agenda. In fact, Bannon is reportedly so very angry about this namby-pamby trust-fund baby coming in and trampling on the culmination of his lifelong ethno-nationalist fantasy that he even reportedly broke out his best LeBron James imitation when threatening to resign.

Unfortunately for Kushner, his antagonist has some very powerful and very angry media friends who are ready and willing to spring to their man's defense, and Bannon himself has reportedly been walking around the halls of the West Wing this week telling anyone who will listen how much he loves a "gun fight," a phrase that I am... 68 percent sure he doesn't mean literally here.
Anyway, the two men who right now are fighting tooth and nail for control of the United States of America are a 63-year-old movie producer-turned-nationalist blogger and a 36-year-old business school graduate. And since neither combatant possessed an ounce of substantive political or diplomatic experience before last month, remember that no matter which one of them eventually prevails, the country will be led by a shadow president who is not remotely qualified for the job he snatched from the other's feeble, failing grasp.
