Real question we need to ask What is Bannon's firing Distracting from?

[Catmusicfan]

That meeting happened at Camp David today. No one is talking about that. No one is talking any more about how unusual that meeting was or Pence cutting his trip short to be there.

1. Apparently they are plotting to escalate the war in Afghanistan.

This was bound to happen with all of those generals now calling the shots.

2. the systematic destruction of democrats' ability to vote in elections? nt

3. so one of three things

a) The Joint Chiefs, the VP, the Chief of Staff were actually ready to invoke the 25th and Bannon getting fired might have placated them for a while

b) They are still talking to DJT about resigning, and Bannon getting fired isn't stopping that

c) they really are going to outsource the Afghan war to Blackwater (ok, whoever they are now) for $10B a year, and the military wants nothing to do with overseeing it so they are giving it to Pence to manage from inside the West Wing... Pence/Prince... what a team!

4. What about the GREATEST reason for ALL distractions...MUELLER!

5. I don't think they would have called Pence back from his trip early

for Mueller... in fact, they might keep Pence out of the country for the duration of the Trump Presidency...

6. The two may be related

Trump, sensing an insurrection led by Pence, jettisoned Bannon to save his skin (for a day).
