A Lso hearing Flynn's son is being removed/kicked out/resigning from the NSA.

2 Down (Not sure about Flynn's son, but still lumping him); Hundreds to go.
2 Years of this is going to be painful enough. I really hope and pray that, when the Democrats take over (and if they don't, I will probably run away to Canada), they can find something on Trump that actually gets him properly impeached.

So...what could this signify, and what might the consequences (both short and long-term) be?
Oh God! Natural light!Is Flynn's son really sacked?
Text of the resignation letter
BuzzFeed News on the resignation
.
The bad news is that his replacement is very slimy
.
Hope this link works- from a "big name" I follow on Twitter, Yair Rosenberg
. For context, in support of the idea that the Rogue POTUS account is b.s. and probably disinfomation b.s. at that, he quotes a current tweet asserting that Yates was fired in connection with Flynn's eventual resignation as well as an earlier tweet claiming that supposed inside sources indicated there was no way that Flynn would be leaving.
Edit- Also, one down and ______ to go.

Is that really necessary? Bizarre attempts at domination aside, it's merely a polite greeting.

...That was a little Too Much Information.
Seconded on that. The sooner that asshole vanishes into obscurity and irrelevance, the better.

Disgusted, but not surprisedIt looks like that KKK leader was murdered by his family [1]
, no motive given, though they killed him in his sleep and tried to make it look like he ran off.
His Wife and Stepson have both been arrested over the Murder

x7 Well, if those are your boundaries, that's your decision. Still, the way you describe it sounds like it would create a more hostile impression than you might intend.

I've heard rumors that the wife is actually blacklisted by local animal rescue operations as all of the animals she cares for mysteriously wind up dead despite her being already paid to do so.
Obviously, that's not a motive, but something's up. Birds of a feather flocking together, only to eat themselves?

I have disagreed with her a lot, but comparing her to republicans and propagandists of dictatorships is really low. - An idiot
x3 I can just picture it now; Bannon's walking towards the docks to take a nap on his special Whites Only yacht after leaving a KKK rally only to feel a tap on his shoulder. He turns around and fails to see just who's lurking behind him before getting sucker-punched in the gut and getting knocked unconscious. When he comes to, he finds himself deep in a cement suit on the end of the docks, with Ryan keenly sharpening a knife and Pence slowly and coolly smoking a cigarette. After finally realizing just what has happened to him and who is responsible, Bannon begins to plead for his life, only to be unceremoniously dumped into the briny depths of whatever lake happens to be closest to Washington by Ryan. Pence then literally stabs Ryan in the back when he's not looking and dumps him overboard like tossing a pile of refuse. All he needs to do now is convince everyone that Trump actually is a giant orange and he'll have the throne all to himself...
