Free Traitors™ and Globalists, like Rush Limbaugh, are breathing a sigh of relief today. Washington Post and Rush are both aligned against Bannon, that should tell you something.

Bannon seemed to be the person closest to the mentality of free republic. So this seems like a tragedy to me

I like Bannon but he is better on the outside where he will be truly unshackled against the left. He will continue his support for President Trump.

I’m sick about this. If Miller or Gorka goes then that will be a death knell of this presidency. I would love to eat crow on this.

My take is Trump would fire this man, he had to convince him to accept his resignation.

So the guy who has watched his role diminish to the point of being neutered, while globalists and jihadist sympathizers like McMaster have been elevated and given legitimacy is going to “work unshackled” for this admin? Interesting theory....

“Controversial impulses?” Is it controversial to do what the Preamble of the Constitution—that some of us have sworn to preserve & defend—clearly requires: To put America & her posterity, “First.” That should be the least “controversial” thing, any President could do.

Libs picking them off one at a time. Who will they go after next?

My optimism in these next 3.5 yrs. is in a precipitous slide.

Who will the liberal media pick next to lie about, and push for their resignation?
