BREAKING: BANNON REMOVED FROM NSC UPDATE: Kushner & Bannon beefing UPDATE: MCFARLAND REMOVED

[Arithmetic]

President Donald Trump reorganized his National Security Council on Wednesday, removing his chief strategist, Stephen Bannon, and downgrading the role of his Homeland Security Adviser, Tom Bossert, according to a person familiar with the decision and a regulatory filing.

National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster was given responsibility for setting the agenda for meetings of the NSC or the Homeland Security Council, and was authorized to delegate that authority to Bossert, at his discretion, according to the filing.

Under the move, the national intelligence director, Dan Coats, and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Marine Corps General Joseph Dunford, are again "regular attendees" of the NSC’s principals committee.

Bannon, the former executive chairman of Breitbart News, was elevated to the National Security Council’s principals committee at the beginning of Trump’s presidency. The move drew criticism from some members of Congress and Washington’s foreign policy establishment.

After a failed raid in Yemen, 200 civilians dead in an Iraq air strike, and a chemical attack in Syria, it's about time they get serious.

Are they allowed to remove the president from the national security council?

Flynn has been gone for months. Also why would you need a "Check" on Flynn if you trusted him to be on your team in the first place. This explaination makes no damn sense.

My guess is McMaster was threatening resignation if he didn't get to reorganize the NSC. Trump didn't allow him to remove the Flynn guy he wanted to get rid of and I'm sure he didn't like Bannon on the NSC.

Mcmaster and Mattis seems to be the only sane picks in this circus freak show.

I wonder if this is in response to Kali Kushner's visit to Iraq.

McMaster can't resign though.

He can't? Why not? I'm seriously asking as I'm unfamiliar with this.
