re: #188 Nyet

I think - just a hunch - that Bannon will lose the battle.

Jared is the son-in-law and is not going anywhere, whereas Bannon was a random (OK, not really random, but I think you know what I mean) pick and can just as easily be given the kick. Esp. now that at least half of the base is pissed off at Trump.

Yeah I don’t think it’s even a contest, Bannon is the overtly racist asshole alkie uncle the family barely tolerates at Thanksgiving dinner. He’s the kind who quickly wears out his welcome, whereas Kushner like you said is Trump’s daughter’s boy toy. And despite the abyss of his qualifications Jared probably looks like a genuine fucking genius compared to Trump’s sons Uday and Qusay, who given the principle of nepotistic sycophancy in operation are the only two cretins Jared actually ever has to appear better than.

The bigger problem though is that Jared does remain entirely, wholly, metaphysically unqualified in every conceivable way. Even his one academic achievement in life, getting into Harvard, required a bunch of sketchy ass flagrant bribery. His entire goddamned life up to this point makes the Peter Principle in comparison seem like the fucking utopian ideal of management efficiency. No matter how Trump’s administration goes forward Jared and Ivanka are there for the long haul, and that’s a look that will not age well.
