Rumours that George Sifakis, director of the Office of Public Liaison, is leaving the White House, according to multiple administration sources.
Sifakis is a close ally and personal friend of former chief of staff Reince Priebus.

Seven charity groups have cancelled their plans to host fundraising events at President Trump's luxury Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, Fla., over the president's response to the violence at a white supremacist rally over the weekend in Charlottesville, Va. Source
Not sure this is the best approach but I suppose people want to make their point in some way?

Billionaire investor Carl Icahn has ended his role as a special regulatory adviser to President Donald Trump. Source
Rumours circulating that Bannon will now go to war against Trump and globalists using the Breitbart platform backed by the billionaire Mercer family who are currently Trump donors!
Seems likely as there are currently no signs of people queuing up to offer Bannon a job despite the fact that he has just left one of the most powerful jobs in America.
Of course it is early days and it all might turn out completely differently?
Reminds me of the US proverb that it is better to have people in the tent pi##ing out than outside the tent pi##ing in

The Twenty-fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution deals with succession to the Presidency and establishes procedures both for filling a vacancy in the office of the Vice President as well as responding to Presidential disabilities.
The President nominates a successor who becomes Vice President if confirmed by a majority vote of both Houses of the Congress.

You could say they've played a part in normalising his obscene behaviour with cute caricatures, and by coming across as smug and liberal they go on to piss off conservatives, further polarising the country.
Trump is beyond parody. There is nothing funny any more about an unhinged man with the nuclear codes.

Steve Bannon returned to Breitbart News as executive chairman on Friday following his ouster from the White House, the far-right website announced in a press release. Source
" There is nothing funny any more about an unhinged man with the nuclear codes." Too horrible to contemplate.....

"There is nothing funny any more about an unhinged man with the nuclear codes." Too horrible to contemplate..... | | | | | And now the party begins 
Just having a few vodkas to celebrate the departure of Bannon, so apologies for any typos.
My prediction for the next few weeks is that we're going to see an all out media war which will divide the right. Not sure if it was picked up in this thread earlier in the week, but the great chameleon, puppet master in chief, and all round global bullshit artist who's had more nationalities than I've had vodkas, was behind the downfall of Bannon. | Quote: |  | | | 'Rupert Murdoch 'pushed Donald Trump to fire White House Chief Strategist Steve Bannon' | | | | | http://www.independent.co.uk/news/wo...-a7895051.html
But all is not rosy in the House of Murdoch... | Quote: |  | | | James Murdoch condemns Donald Trump’s response to Charlottesville
Mr Murdoch and his wife Kathryn, a big critic of the US president, have pledged $1m to the Anti-Defamation League and in a email encouraged friends and colleagues “to give what you think is right”. | | | | | https://www.ft.com/content/8a660c2a-...e-15b2513cb3ff
