Nah, either this was a more serious reason, like fucking around with Syria or preventing raw intelligence data to be shared with the NSC.

Or maybe he just sassed Dolt45 at the wrong time of day.

Don't want the public to think that he, the great Donald, can't think up stupid ideas on his own.

And that, Steve-o, is why you're now assigned to assisting in the spray-tanning booth from now on.

Seems more likely to be Fox/White House propaganda to me, putting forth a relatively harmless reason rather than the real likely more damning one.

To me there is a real good chance to it being more. And it can be a combination of things. Not just being known as dipshit's brain.

Prima Donnie can't just be Number 1, he has to single-handedly tie for Top 5 just to keep everyone else a few steps down. Bannon has gotten too much buzz of being the the "real" president, and it gave Mad Dog an opening to kick him out of a spot where he should never have been in the first place.

Jared is now the Minister of Everything and so is Ivanka, so Trump pays attention to them. Bannon tried to push Jared out. So sad...

people demanding this turd to be flushed. It is all about the money. Bannon and Mercer will be linked to this Russian deal and both take a deal.

We just a very nice 5 year contract with over almost a 20% raise in that time. I work in UC Berkeley and before the Admin Assists joined the Teamsters we were the most underpaid in our category in the San Francisco Bay Area for decades.

I love the Teamsters! Proud to be one.
