Second term kicks off with firing Wray, firing Fauci. Now I actually want to go a step farther but I realize the president is a kind-hearted man and a good man.
I’d actually like to go back to the old times of Tudor England, I’d put the heads on pikes, right, I’d put them at the two corners of the White House as a warning to federal bureaucrats. You either get with the program or you’re gone — time to stop playing games.
Bannon clearly distinguishes between “firing,” which is not enough for him, and “going a step farther” by “putting the heads on pikes,” which thus must mean something else
“Heads on pikes at the two corners of the White House as a warning” is not a metaphor or a joke
Down here in 80+ Trump voting territory, that is called a terroristic threat. The statute usually is used against a meth addicted domestic abuser, but it certainly should apply to a former administration official working for a head of state. If Taliban and Daesh are terrorist organizations who behead pols and others, Bannon’s org looks potentially prosecutable.
Does this mean he’s up for the “Kathy Griffin” treatment? No gigs for a long while and faced with widespread opprobrium. Somehow I don’t think this applies to white men who backed Trump.
