Definitely a step in the right direction. Stay focused. Our calls, emails, postcards, protests, and actions are definitely helping.
One white supremacist down...still a few more to go.

Getting rid of Bannon is just window dressing. Miller and Gorka are still there. I'll be THRILLED to read Trump OUT at White House.

Incredibly thrilled by this. Still a lot of work to do, but this is cause for happiness.

You Voted for Trump. Now you are "THRILLED" So So Confused. Also odd you just had to be the first to share the news.

She's confused that this little act of contrition fixes everything.
We still have a president who has openly given aid and comfort to white supremacists and Nazis. Because that's what he is. And has always been.

You're "thrilled" but the guy was the Chief Executive of the freaking campaign and you still voted for President Nazi.
You knew this was who he surrounded himself with and you still checked his name.

Forget it, then. Sorry I ever tried finding the slightest semblance of middle ground with any of you.

^I'm sorry that there is no middle ground when it comes to this guy, but there truly isn't.
This is not Mitt Romney, John McCain, or even George W. Bush or Ted Cruz. We are talking about a disgusting, race baiting, ignorant, sociopath who is fixated on vengeance against people (and countries) who say mean things about him.
When the KKK and Neo Nazis get off their computers and come out of their basements because they feel they have a friend in the Oval Office, it becomes much much different than the partisanship of the past. And if you couldn't understand why you get the reaction you get, maybe now you can.

There is NO MIDDLE GROUND WHEN IT COMES TO NAZIS.
None. Zero. Before Tuesday, you could possibly claim that the person inhabiting the Oval Office wasn't a white supremacist (though so much publicly available information confirms this). But after Tuesday? You really have no choice but to disavow this man and his administration. Not just Bannon. But the entirety of it. Until then...sorry, kiddo. Because there is NO MIDDLE GROUND WHEN IT COMES TO MUTHERF*CKING NAZIS.

Including the one in the Oval Office (when he's not busy with golf).

Let's not forget that Trump is the son of a Klansman.

Here's a history of Trump's racist past in case some try to pretend this one act excuses everything he's ever done:
https://theintercept.com/2017/08/15/donald-trump-has-been-a-racist-all-his-life-and-he-isnt-going-to-change-after-charlottesville/
Let's not even go over the LGBTQ stuff.
The truth is, during the campaign, Trump did not really hide any of this. He adopted white supremacist language, riled up extremely racist crowds, fueled the fire of fear against minorities and immigrants, made fun of disabled people, among other horrific things. I don't know how anyone who paid any semblance of attention could ignore any of the above. There are certain standards of decency people should have when choosing someone to represent them as their leader.

Guess you can't admit you were wrong in here, huh.

Admit you were wrong about Trump, sure. But acting as if getting rid of one senior level staffer (especially given how many times we've been down this road with Trump already) is going to end all the problems this White House is having is naive and foolish. The Trump we saw on Monday is the real Trump: unhinged, unpredictable, but fully racist.
