Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Summary

Steve Bannon intensified his attacks on Elon Musk, calling him a "parasitic illegal immigrant" and accusing him of undermining American traditions.

The feud highlights a growing divide among Trump loyalists as Musk, a key donor and adviser in Trump's second term, leads DOGE.

Bannon criticized Musk's handling of budget cuts and his reluctance to target Pentagon spending.

Musk dismissed Bannon's remarks, while Trump defended Musk's role.

In 2025, Steve Bannon is one of the not-so-bad guys? Damn, 2025, you wild.

Make no mistake, Steve Bannon is not on your side.

True, but you have to be grounded in reality and not get high on your own farts to be a political architect. If anything that is why he might be able to cause a schism in the magaverse. But yeahfuck him

Not even remotely. What's happened is that Bannon used to be the pusher of Trump's more deranged strategies, but Trump upgraded to a much more aligned racist who also far better represents the people Trump wants to attract to his circle, spineless Oligarchs. You're witnessing the jealousy of someone who built Trump walk away with all of his work and leaving him with none of the expected power.
