Apropos of what the incompetently rolled out EO on refugees might say about a Bannon inspired disaster taking root in the Oval Office, this article in Foreign Policy. Now, I read FP regularly, but always with a pinch of salt since it clearly has a left wing slant to it - still, if the picture this article paints is more or less true and cannot be explained away by the ‘growing pains’ of a new administration - then there’s no way I see Mattis putting up with this shit. Possibly a power struggle is coming and Mattis will win it - but I find myself feeling… not optimistic about things. Can’t really draw firm conclusions until more details emerge - and they will emerge - if the situation is as fucked up as this article leads one to believe, leaks will come regardless of how many witch hunts Bannon unleashes.
