Good pieces. (Although it's, rather, a stupid excuse for a person, I think?)

Just to clarify who was the stupid excuse between the man and the woman.

cozietoesie · 18/08/2017 17:27

.....And the Humanities.......Grin

badbadhusky · 18/08/2017 17:28

Just read the letter - it's great that it ends urging him to resign.

TheNorthWestPawsage · 18/08/2017 17:35

So is it really going to happen?

One down... Now for the whale...

cozietoesie · 18/08/2017 17:44

If it's true, then it would weaken Kelly's position, I reckon.

OhYouBadBadKitten · 18/08/2017 17:46

I seem to have missed the reason as to why Bannon is going?

TheNorthWestPawsage · 18/08/2017 17:49

Person close to Bannon tells @maggieNYT that departure was his idea and he submitted resignation Aug. 7.

If so, why wait til now to announce it? Dead cat? What are we being distracted from? (At this point I'd like to express my thanks to journalists everywhere - keeping up with this shower of cunts must be exhausting.)

🚨Trump White House Admits Steve Bannon Died In January, Has Been Weekend At Bernie-d In Photos Since.

Made me laugh anyways...

HolyShmoly · 18/08/2017 18:01

Who all is left from the original cabinet, or whatever the term is?
I'm really not shit-hot on politics, but is it normal to go through this many staff at this pace?

Lweji · 18/08/2017 18:01

Bannon? Out? What? Is it really true?

CNN says so!

Roussette · 18/08/2017 18:07

DD is on a train and just told me Bannon is out. I need to know details. I thought they were close and because it's what everyone wanted I'm surprised Trump acceded

HowDoYouFeelNow · 18/08/2017 18:10

Bannon! Don't know how accurate this is, but in NYT article, it states "A person close to Mr. Bannon insisted the parting of ways was his idea, and that he had submitted his resignation to the president on Aug. 7, to be announced at the start of this week, but it was delayed in the wake of the racial unrest in Charlottesville, Va."

Gabriel Sherman @gabrielsherman

Source close to Bannon confirms Bannon expected to return to Breitbart after a WH exit

Roussette · 18/08/2017 18:14

Next hopefuly that vile individual Gorka. I thought he'd gone once but he seems to have crawled his way back in. Then Stephen Miller please, I'm not sure who I think is worse out the lot of them.

blueskyinmarch · 18/08/2017 18:15

I just it a BBC news alert saying Bannon has ' left his post'. Goodness me. It's all going on!

Replying to @politico
I don't think he is really gone. I suspect it is a PR move - the appearance of distance without actual distance.

Faithless Muse @faithlessmuse
I think so too. Just like his "accidental" interview that has him bashing supremacist, a cheap ploy to say he's not a real Nazi supporter.

orlantina · 18/08/2017 18:17

His tweets today are going on about security and the courts. Funny how he didn't mention that when there was Charlottesville.

He's edging the country towards civil war.
