You can just hear Don LaFontaine, can't you?
STEVE BANNON is back.Yes, really. Quotes above from The Hill. It ought to have a splashy poster and a trailer. (But please, no bare-chested volleyball.)
Back to pull Donald Trump's fat from the fire.
This time, it's “War Room: Impeachment.”
Steve Bannon has "returned from exile" after a perilous journey "to spark populist movements at hotspots around the world."
Bannon will need two days of stubble and wear three shirts at once to save to save a presidency in peril ... from itself.
From the basement of “Breitbart Embassy” (his Capitol Hill home), Bannon will "broadcast live, seven days a week."
With his "kinetic flair and penchant for the dramatic," Bannon will not stop until he's crushed every traitor.
Or "until the Senate votes on impeachment."
“We’re riding to the sound of guns.”
The Democrats, Bannon said, are routing Republicans with their top-shelf impeachment messaging operation as they investigate Trump's interactions with Ukraine.
“It’s a master class in disinformation warfare,” Bannon said.
If you did a spit take just now, clean yourself up before continuing.
Translation from Breitbartese: The GOP has no defense for Trump's impeachable actions or the "top-shelf" facts and public admissions already in evidence. They're left with character assassination, kabuki theater, and arguments about a process written and approved by a Republican majority in 2015.
The Hill is on a roll. The site declared Thursday, "Nearly half of Americans think Democrats have moved too far to the left: poll." The same Quinnipiac poll shows similar numbers of voters think neither Republicans nor Democrats have moved too far left or right (46 and 42 percent, respectively; margin of error of +/- 3.1 percentage points). But those aren't clickbait numbers and won't frighten Democratic centrists.
Not exactly voters riding to the sound of guns.
