So the Trump WH excuse for Bannon on the NSC goes like this...

[underpants]

Instead, one of the officials said, Bannon was put on the council early in the administration to guide and keep watch over then-national security adviser Michael Flynn, who was tasked with reshaping the operation. That official and a second official said Bannon did this from afar, attending one or two meetings of the group.

I've read elsewhere that Bannon attended exactly ZERO meetings.

So their supposedly adult first pick for the National Security advisor didn't just need supervision he basically needed a babysitter. And this babysitter never (or rarely) showed up.

That, my friends, calls for a Trump saaaaalute

1. Yea... that's the ticket!

2. I realize reporters have to report what they're told

But they don't have to pretend it resembles the truth in any way.

3. Bannon's running his own shadow NSC out of the White House so

his quitting is meaningless.

[Wellstone ruled]

4. Is this all part of a Cover Up?

Someone a major Money Person is nervous and told Trump to dump this Guy because he is so toxic. Notice how the Press keeps this Guy's picture up every day.

All part of the Trump Normalization.

5. But his putting game has improved bigly

Golf. It's the gop's substitute for leadership
