I mean, isn't Kelly more responsible for this mess? He was supposed to bring order to White House. Seems like Trump walked all over him with his freewheeling press conference and those ridiculous tweets. Bannon needs to go, but he's not responsible for Trump watching Fox News and repeating White Supremacists talking points.

Can see a bump in trump approval if so.
Will the head still be sucking?
Nobody can control the orange turd. Which is why it was dumb for Kelly to take the job.

What does Bannon even do in the White House?
Immaculate.

Kellyanne probably has more sway with Trump than General Kelly.
Kelly is a true believer. He cares more about his image and consolidating what little power he has more than the noxious ideologies of Trump's lackeys.
If he can accomplish a few virulently racist policy outcomes on the job, it will have been worth it for him.

I wish I could upvote this.
Instead, I will resign myself to ordering a few cases of popcorn off Amazon Now.
True but I'd rather have someone like Kelly than someone like Mooch or Reince.
Trump may not listen to him but he at least seems to have a semblance of a soul and probably doesn't want us all to die in a horrible world-ending nuclear fire because of a loudmouth buffoon.
Got some info that would elaborate on this? Don't mean to sound confrontational, genuinely curious as to where that might be deduced from.
If he was willing to leak from within the White House imagine what it he'll do from the outside.

It's not Kelly's fault the President is uncontrollable. He's Chief of Staff, not President's Babysitter. Bannon's not getting canned for Racism Week. Trump is mad he gets so much attention and he leaks to the press constantly.

I always saw Bannon as the Little Finger of the White House.
And yet Trump will continue to be as impotent as he was before
Yep. If he's fired, I expect lots of Bannon trying to unite the right against Trump. Dude is petty, vindictive and will try to fuck anyone over that slights him-- just like Trump.
The question is:
does he get a decorous exit - "Mr Bannon is a good guy" type shit -
or will he actually distance himself from him?
If he genuinely does the latter and the split isn't amicable, that would be the best, because we'd maybe then get a certain section of the bat-shit media turning on Trump too.

For me as someone that lives in Europe, the only things I hear from the US government is people getting fired, Trump saying dumb shit and more people getting fired.
Aren't they supposed to, you know, try get shit done? Did they start building that dumb wall yet? Or re-open those coal mines?

Kelley seems to be doing a good job, but unfortunately Trump destroys everything he touches. House of Cards sure has had an impact on this white house though.

Kelly is disciplined as a military officer, but Trump put him in as head of DHS for a reason (that's where ICE is).

Give Trump a weekly list of things he can do to screw over minorities.
How? His hardcore base loves Bannon.
If/when he gets fired, the press should run articles basically goading Trump into leaking all the terrible shit Bannon said in order to justify why he fired him. Basically, all the press has to do is run opinion pieces titled "Why Trump Is Rudderless Without Bannon", and the shit will start flowing.
Trump is outrageously easy to manipulate. If we push hard enough, we can probably get stuff on Bannon people could use for decades.

Kelly is responsible for Trump's mess? Trump is Trump. He's a 71 year old bigot, racist and accused rapist with a nasty and untreatable mental disorder. No one is going to control or change him one iota. The country fucked itself electing this obese fuckwit and the obese fuckwit fucked everyone back.
All the problems are caused by Trump himself. Kelly probably views Bannon as a thorn in his side and is using Trump's ego to axe him. Bannon getting so much credit for Trump's win and strategies burns him up. Bannon is often seen as mastermind with Trump being his tool. Not something Trump would be a big fan of.
The government has started seizing land for the wall, but it will never get finished. Theyll toss up a few extra fences and call it a day. Coal is super fucking dead and Trump can't save it. Fracking has made natural gas king in this country.
I'd bet dollars to donuts that Bannon's publicity is what's grinding Trump's gears the most. Every time Trump is asked about him, he makes a point to mention that Bannon was brought on late. Whatever the pretense, firing that fat dick is good for the country. Watching the far right begin to turn on Trump will be a nice bonus too.
Kelly did take the job.
Though I still kinda think he did it to make Trump's presidency less disastrous.
Maybe you're confusing him with Mattis or McMaster? I forget which one was forced into his position due to being an active service member.
