The Drudge Report and The New York Times are both saying Steve Bannon is out at the White House. When you get it from both of those sources, that's all the proof you could ask for. Stephen Colbert is probably upset that they recorded tonight's show yesterday and it wouldn't surprise me if they're scrambling to do something new and insert it. Bill Maher, on the other hand, is probably delighted with the timing. (Tonight, his guests include Al Franken, Penn Jillette and Gavin Newsom. If you're outside California and you don't know our lieutenant governor Gavin Newsom, you might want to get familiar with him. That man is going to be a serious contender for president some day.)
In light of Bannon's ouster, it is worth re-reading (or just plain reading) the Matt Taibbi column I linked to yesterday.
We have a busy day here so I'll be back later with…something. It'll probably be about why I still don't think Trump is a racist but it's getting harder and harder to believe that. Then I'm going to shoot for a Trump-free weekend on this site but it's getting harder and harder to aim the part of my brain that blogs at anything else.
