If there is any way that you can interpret this, besides the obvious, please do explain it to the rest of us.

I just love it when these Harvard grad, hedge fund bankers go all proletariat. Take about cosplay. I remember kids in college who drove Porsches and who would tell you how rough the lettuce workers in Chino had it. I worked on a B-movie (actually more like Grade Z) where the wealthy trust fund baby from New York was so moved after seeing Meryl Streep’s performance in Silkwood, she exclaimed, “The working class pays for advances in industry with their lives!” The fact that she underpaid and abused her own workers never crossed her mind. Man, were there some eye rolls in that office that day. You know the type, the ones afflicted with massive blind spots.

Get ready for the posters, “Deplorables of the world, unite!” And Trump now leads the Worker’s Party, you knew that, right?

Read this piece about Jim Bank’s memo to Kevin McCarthy about rebranding the GOP as the working class party. It’s a classic.

I can’t wait to see where Bannon goes with this one. He is methodical. He telegraphs the punches of the right-wing before they even get in the ring. This is going to be good.

  1. Bannon considers himself an intellectual. He thinks he got Trump elected, not Manafort and Russia. So this is obviously his latest play for relevancy and can’t forget the grift. This may be his last hurrah before his trial this summer. I hope they go ahead w/ the contempt of congress and save any other charges they have on him for after he is incarcerated.

  2. No, I believe Bannon is an anarchist with the ultimate intention of scooping up riches and founding a fascist dictatorship once democracy collapses with his helping hand. That’s what all his “deconstruction of the administrative state” is all about.

    • I certainly agree that deconstruction of the administrative state is one of the most insidious dangers we face. It’s exactly what was going on in the SCOTUS OSHA/Vax Mandate case (National Federation of Independent Businesses v. DOL-OSHA). The six conservatives bent over backwards to find a way to say that the state has no power to regulate health and safety during the worst health crisis in over 100 years, mischaracterizing both the statute and COVID itself. If that’s not pernicious, not to mention deadly, nothing is.

      If we survive what I call the CCC – climate change, COVID, and conservatism, the dissent will come to be known as the appropriate legal analysis in future generations, as has happened in many SCOTUS cases over the years.

  3. Trump hasn’t done a honest days work in his life. It would be completely in character to make him the leader of the workers party. That way win the minions act up you can toss them in jail. And the White House will have a obscenely big Trump sign on it with big ass revolving spot lights to light it up.
