When Bannon gets his ear for an hour, Kelly will be the enemy.

Trump is a person with extremely diminished capacity being rocked to and fro by whichever feckless self-promoter has his ear last. This is what is was like living in a half-assed medieval monarchy, with an extremely weak monarch at the helm. Moronic children of the monarch in positions of prestige, and their various hijinks, constantly changing positions as various courtiers influence the dummy this way and that.

We have pseudo-feudalism (rentierism) as our ruling economic mode now, so of course we end up with a revived feudalism in our politics.

Capitalism is a fucking joke.
