"Bannon is gone from the White House, but he has already laid eggs in everything"

[procon]

My visual image is better, the scene from the syfy classic, "Aliens", where the crew discovers all the hatching eggs.

Stephen K. Bannon is out. After eight months as the chief strategist to the president of the United States, Bannon is gone.

I would have been more excited about this eight months ago. It is better to get rid of the termites before they have successfully laid eggs in all your possessions.

You cannot muster much enthusiasm over the fact that a man who promised he would take a sledgehammer to everything you held dear is finally, months later, not in the house any longer. It is hardly as though he did not get the chance to put cracks in all the things he wanted broken.

...
The hideous ideas he gave succor and shelter to are spreading. Breitbart gave the alt-right cover; now they are out in the streets with torches. Bannon is gone, but everywhere, his eggs are hatching.

5. Actually, I feel that once we didn't get Hillary as President we got screwed.

Even if trump and pence go down, we have the congress we have and the next several in line are crazed republicans.

They won't do anything different about voting rights the EPA or the FDA or a thousand other things. I'm convinced.

12. Don't forget he got Gorsuch TOO! And he IS sabotaging the ACA as he threatened.

And he has signed a zillion bills to destroy everything Obama did (and that will continue).
