Just a blurb ....

[awesomerwb1]

1. Normally this would be good news

but with these guys, we'll probably end up with someone even worse than Kelly.

[SergeStorms]

9. Here's their big chance....

to roll Steve Bannon back into the White House. It wouldn't surprise me in the least.

[bunny planet]

2. It's summer already.

LEAVE NOW...

[Dave Starsky]

3. Enjoy your retirement, you piece of shit.

Have fun explaining to your Marine Corps brothers in the afterlife, those who died at Tarawa and Iwo Jima, why you worked so hard for a regime that represents everything they fought against.

[llmart]

4. Dropping like flies.

No one can stand to work for him very long which only confirms to me that anyone still remaining and willing to sell their soul to this Satan Trump must be as evil as he is.

[niyad]

5. buh-bye, you sycophanitc POS

a total disgrace to the uniform you once wore (of course, you disgraced it while wearing it too)

[MattP]

6. Hannity going to keep his show and be the chief of staff

[BlueIdaho]

7. Like so many other slots in this administration

This vacancy will not be filled.

[SergeStorms]

12. Or it won't be filled...

with someone who tries, in any way, to rein in the orange mad-man, or ever tell him things he doesn't want to hear. This person must also sign a loyalty oath, and pledge to sacrifice their life in the defense of Donald Trump.

Apart from that it's quite an easy position to fill, because everything is so freaking easy when you're a narcissistic, know-nothing, lazy putz like Trump.

[BlueIdaho]

14. Yup...

Plenty of empty suits in Fat Donny’s Administration.

[rtracey]

8. zzzzzzzzz

zzzzzzzz

[maxsolomon]

10. All his tenure cost him was

his Reputation and Soul.

[SergeStorms]

13. But he'll get a great book deal from the experience...

and that seems to be the only thing people care about these days. He'll make a quick $1 million or more with a "tell all" book (and don't forget the daily TV "news" shows!) and ride off into the sunset, now fully qualified for the huge tax cuts his former boss gifted to the wealthy in this country.

Screw you, Kelly!

[lunatica]

11. Who cares? He's done exactly nothing for his country as Chief of Staff

[lagomorph777]

15. Leaving to attend the Charlottesville rally, or leaving-leaving?

[FakeNoose]

16. Well he's 68 years old, so he can retire any time

Like somebody said up-thread, he'll write a book and tour the political commentary TV circuit for awhile.
