The head of ICE has also been removed.

So we know who he backed in Freddy vs. Jason.
He resigned from Breitbart when he took the White House job.
It could be straw that breaks the camel's back—the numbers just get worse and worse until Trump is totally toxic and they move on whatever technicality they can get.
Democrats are starting to grow a spine and realize that compromise isn't what anybody wants. It would take a complete collapse of federal legitimacy for Republicans to get on board.
Bush support collapsed in response to his poor handling of Hurricane Katrina. Trump is just implimenting policies he campaigned on, with majority support in Congress. This is ideal circumstances for a president, and he's flailing around like it's a disaster.
Trump will probably sign more executive orders than any other President, but almost none of them will hold up in court. At some point, will someone explain how it works to him?
Anybody that knows anything about how NSC works is calling this crazy bullshit.
The place is a madhouse. Everybody there is a lunatic.
There was specific intelligence about possible attempt to use refugee program for attack. Also, it wasn't technically a shut down, but added security measures that had the practical effect of a shutdown.
One the reasons the courts ruled on it so quickly is that administration lawyers literally had no defense of the order—they had no understanding of what legal framework or reasoning—if any— was intended. Rudy Giuliani has admitted—bragged—in a television interview that the order is intended to be a Muslim ban, thus…
A theory I've read about Bannons Nsc appointment is that it's part of a plan to prop up various European Nationalist groups, with the ultimate aim of dismantling the EU. Russia already has a similar strategy. Worth noting that Trump has always embraced Brexit, even without fully understanding it, and had multiple…
In a better democracy, we'd be able to call a snap election and get rid of him in a month.
Yes, this was a completely literal statement, and not a well-known phrase.
Trump has previously drawn comparisons to Andrew Jackson—who famously refused to acknowledge a Supreme Court ruling against his genocide of Native Americans.
Fox News ran a story with the headline "White House backs Trump's decision to appoint Bannon to NSC" implying that "White House" and Trump are two separate entities. So, things are that fucked.
Allegedly, Kushner was the one that got Christie ousted, although bridge gate/Christie's lack of enthusiasm as a Trump surrogate were contributing factors. If there is a Kushner/Bannon rivalry—and there likely is—it would be decided by which one fucks up first.
Usually, the unelected general who needed a special exemption to hold office would be the bad option. But, he's better than the Oil exec and the various billionaires in Trump's cabinet.
The only thing that would stop a full-fledged War on Islam is his business ties to Saudi Arabia. Without that, I could easily see him launching a reprisal attack on Mecca.
That's whats really scary— there will be another attack of some sort before Trump leaves office—maybe on American soil, maybe not—and Trumps response will make the PATRIOT Act look like the Bill of Rights.
