Time to worry about Mueller now.

Trump may understand he can't do that without hastening his demise. I'm more worried about Jim Mattis having a "fuck this noise" moment and walking. :(

The problem with canning Bannon is Mr. Breitbart's the trumpster base guy. With their numbers he's done for.
Trump is the type to either believe he earned them on their own or they now love him regardless of Bannon. Ultimately everything I'd because he's so wonderful.

Kushner and Ivanka seem to want him out and after Scaramucci's comments yesterday I believe Trump would do it.

When he was elected there were some establishment Republicans who got jobs in the administration. We were told, or it was assumed, that these would help keep him in line. Pretty much all of them are gone. These are all his people now.

He still has a lot of them-

They've been toadies for mega-billionaires for a long time. Turns out they were just practicing for the chance to slobber Donnie's knob.

I'm just pointing to consequences.

Priebus replaced with some incompetent means his legislative agenda is effectively dead. And without adequate popular support the rest of the GOP have no reason to protect him against impeachment. As someone already mentioned, Pence will be having some sweet dreams.

Can we stop "making America Great again" now please?
I don't expect for this "Make America (the) Great (laughing stock) Again campaign to stop anytime soon. I knew that Trump was going to make a mess of things and his behavior/performance thus far is right on par with my expectations. Shame on organized religion for supporting this giant piece of trash.

Shame on sane, rational people organized religion for supporting this giant piece of trash.
Yea, sorry, this just needed a small tweak

I'm a little confused am I supposed to like Priebus and am I supposed to like Comey and Sessions?

Exactly.
They are all establishment men.
Remember...
The reason Trump was elected was to purge republicans like Priebus.
I look at this as a win for that Trump support base, and Trump finally creating the kind of outlaw administration expected of him by his base.

Its like Donald temporally needed those old establishment guys to get him thru his first few months. Now they have not only used up their usefulness, as far as Trump sees it they are a threat.
So they must go.

Face it. Donald Trump wants a dictatorship surrounded by die hard loyalist that never dare challenge or question Donald Trump because.... how dare they.
Trump dreams of being the dictator exactly like Putin and North Korea's Kimmy Jong Un.
Trump would love to control the media and dictate how the media covers his administration.
Trump would love to hear Wolf on CNN or Maddow on MSNBC say something like "today our glorious leader yet again did something hugely wonderful".
If we thought Kim Jong Un was crazy, Donald Trump and Kim are both from the same mold.

But anyway....
Old Priebus has used up his usefulness to Trump, and Priebus will not be the last to go.
Many will soon follow.
Everyone, all of those establishment types, will be gone and Trump will have his dictatorship surrounded by yes men. Then they will target republicans within all the other branches of government.
When Donald Trump threatens any republican in congress for not bowing to Donald's every desire, he means it.
Trump will personally see to it they are ousted by his very own party. His base will rise against them all at the polls.
Remember, they still believe in eating their own.

LOL, that's awesome. The Internet never forgets!!!

Apparently Mooch has been deleting all of Trump's regrettable past tweets. ...I guess Mooch was too busy getting c^cked by Priebus and then divorced to catch that one. :\
