WASHINGTON — Reince Priebus, the establishment Republican-turned-loyalist to President Trump who served as his White House chief of staff for the last six months, was pushed out on Friday in the latest convulsion in a chaos-wracked West Wing to which he had repeatedly failed to bring some semblance of order.

Convinced that Mr. Priebus was not strong enough, Mr. Trump has been talking about bringing in “a general” as chief of staff and chose John F.

But some of his advisers oppose that idea, arguing that Mr. Trump needs someone more in tune with the nationalist political movement that helped propel him to the White House.

BOOM

[Sneederbunk]

1. Making available yet another witness for Mr. Mueller

[blaze]

2. I'm gonna quit asking, "What's next?" nt

[Warpy]

17. Nope, just pop some more corn and sit back and enjoy the spectacle

of everybody in the WH eating each other alive. And remember, this isn't our mess and their party is shutting us out of doing anything to fix it.

That's two down, Spicer and Priebus. My guess is that a lot more will find it impossible to work around Moochy.

I said from the beginning that people will be picked off one by one, isolating Dumpster Fire. Once he's completely isolated, that's it.

The best part is that he seems to be isolating himself by his poor personnel decisions and yes, that's an understatement.

3. I wonder how well a military guy will get along in that snake pit

with the likes of Bannon and Scaramucci?

[Skittles]

6. doe he understand he has to kiss Trump's ass?

[Zoonart]

23. That's the BIG question isn't it?

When do the generals put their heads together and decide this can not stand. Trump's juvenile general obsession may be his downfall. They are all a thousand times smarter than he is and are masters of war gaming.

[Skittles]

4. I have zero respect for anyone who agrees to work for Donald Fucking Trump

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

10. And I don't understand why anyone would even want to work for him.

[Achilleaze]

5. KGOP Fascist Coup, Inc. nearly complete

They have pissed all over America and democracy, and now they are finishing up by pissing on the old guard republicans who let themselves be suckered into voting for a casino hustler to be their very own (ha ha) ignoble republican Draft-Dodger-in-Chief.

Sucks to be a TreasonWeasel republican.

[Eliot Rosewater]

16. Putin and Trump are putting the finishing touches on now. Mueller

will be fired soon, GOP incapable of doing the right or patriotic thing.

America, fun while it lasted.

[sandensea]

7. Priebus. Rinsed.

[Le Gaucher]

12. Lol.. Next up ..Bannon to face the cannon?

[sandensea]

15. I like it!

A rhyme for every Trump whine.

[procon]

8. As much as I despise that sniveling Priebus, I hope he writes a tell-all book

on his brief stint as one of Trump's compliant whipping boys.

[missingthebigdog]

9. So who will be the new Secretary of Homeland Security?

Do you suppose this is one of the generals he consulted regarding the transgender ban?

How bizarre does this have to get before even the Republicans can't take it anymore?

[LovingA2andMI]

14. Nobody...

Because The Senate has already said they are doing no more confirmations. This should be interesting.

[Eliot Rosewater]

21. these guys, given how other appts have gone

[iluvtennis]

11. Trump's administration will NEVER GET ANYTHING DONE, you can't keep changing staff like socks.

[LovingA2andMI]

13. Personally, We Are GLAD That Reince Has Been Fired...

Now, We Are THAT MUCH CLOSER To Impeachment. There is NO WAY BFF's Ryan and Reince will take this lying down.

[exboyfil]

18. It seems insane to grab the SecHomelandSecurity

He just started in the job. What particular skill set would he bring?

[BigmanPigman]

19. When will it happen to Sessions?

[janx]

20. SCARAMOUCHE, SCARAMOUCHE!

[Girard442]

David Duke is probably available.
