Thank you for writing this, Mike. You're absolutely right this development is getting buried under the reportage of telegenic nationwide protests. It's clear the Trump admin is in disarray and that Bannon  is steadily assuming ever more power. Bannon is the guy who told Ronald Radosh, an adjunct fellow at the conservative Hudson Institute:

<<“Lenin,” he answered, “wanted to destroy the state, and that’s my goal too. I want to bring everything crashing down, and destroy all of today’s establishment.”>>

<<“National Review and The Weekly Standard,” he said, “are both left-wing magazines, and I want to destroy them also.”>>

Yes, these paleo- and neo-conservative rags are too "left-wing" for Steve Bannon. A radical, white nationalist revolutionary is at the center of power in the USA.
