Meanwhile...when we were distracted...

Steve Bannon Replaces DNI And Military Head On National Security Council

It's always more important in the news cycles we have today to pay attention to what Trump is doing more than what he's saying.

So this one ought to be one that gets the attention of everyone. The former editor of Breitbart News, Steve Bannon, is now a permanent member of the National Security Council by executive decree.

dRump and his immediate staff need to go. Impeach dRump and staff would go.

Bannon needs to go. Anyone cited/alleged for domestic violence has some issues. He will do it again in some other manner. I would like to see these guys leave with their tails between their legs.

You do NOT change the structure of the NSC. The two deleted positions have EXPERIENCE in the real world by virtue of their positions. Bannon needs to go. We can get rid of Flynn at the same time.

I am a member of the loyal American opposition.

The Repugs won't call for the impeachment of Trump because he'll take the Repugs down with him. To risky.

The Dems don't have the power to impeach Trump.

Seems to me that the military is the only alternative. A peaceful ousting of Trump and his minions and a declaration of a new election to take place on a certain date. This election would restore the government in a peaceful way and the military would turn it back to the newly elected administration.

I know this sounds crazy. It would cause a lot of disruption both in the day to day running of our country and no doubt disrupt the stock market and the economy. But isn't it better knowing that there will be a light at the end of the tunnel instead of waking up everyday not knowing what Trump and company will pull?

This is just a thought - but I think with the action taken by Trump to elevate Bannon - this is just the last straw.

But only one is not meant to be a diversion. That is the one that we must watch.
