【Covet: Island of Desire】

Few happy moments still exist in the Twitterverse anymore,Covet: Island of Desire so when Steve Bannon resigned from the White House, the tweets flew fast, furious, and anti-fascist.

On Friday, The New York Times reported that the White House was planning to force out Trump's chief strategist, and the internet was ready with jokes. It's been a horrible week for anyone who's not, say, a Neo-Nazi, so it's no surprise that (most of) the internet celebrated.

With Bannon gone, that's one less white nationalist sympathizer in the office and, f*ck, so many more to go.

Ah well. We online people take what we can get.

Rejoice in the internet. Thy kingdom has come.

Congrats to Steve Bannon on being the only Trump adviser to emerge with his reputation exactly as tarnished as it was before he went in.

The irony: Bannon had the popular ideas! Infrastructure! Taxing globalists! Trump is left w whatever Charles Koch scrawled on a napkin.

top GOP strategist on Bannon departure: "not sure makes much difference unless it turns out he was ghostwriting the self immolation tweets"

Trump will now have only choice: bring the Mooch back.
