The DNI and chairman of the joint Chiefs were disinvited to a slightly different committee called the Principal’s Committee:

I read somewhere that Trump would prefer watching TV. So him being bored or perhaps overwhelmed is starting to affect him. As for the assassination, it could likely happen once reality sets in amongst his extreme supporters. Paying for that wall, might set one of them off. Hopefully he’ll be impeached or just step down (with the excuse being health problems).
No president has ever resigned because of health issues.
Woodrow Wilson and Ronald Reagan both SHOULD have, but they did not.

FDR did!
The PC is an interagency committee, and they’re invited when the subject at
hand concerns them. They’re not “disinvited”.
Anybody know where to find the document that defined the pre-Trump makeup of
the NSC, so we can compare the two versions? So far, the only difference we
know of for sure is that Bannon’s position title has been added as an optional
attendee to the full SC meetings.
They were formerly core members and now are not. Instead Brannon is. Are you saying that’s appropriate?

There is no centralized database of guns. To do a gun trace you send a request to the National Tracing Center. After figuring out the make and serial number the Center then calls the gun manufacturer or importer to find out which wholesaler they sold the gun to. They then call the wholesaler to find out which retailer they sold the gun to. They then call that store to find out who they sold the gun to, as the store is legally required to keep a book recording gun sales (if it’s say a WalMart, they have to call the actual individual store). If the store closed the records are sent to the Tracing Center where they are kept in boxes until they can be imaged (formerly onto microfilm,PDFs were ruled acceptable as long as they aren’t searchable); if the store kept records electronically they must be printed out and imaged. This article is good if your interested.

Actually that happens, especially to military personnel in high stress jobs, I’ve heard of UK military personnel who have died of heart attacks in that age range. In Russia, the commonest drug administered likely to cause heart attacks is vodka.

Within weeks frogs will die. This is really bad, and it looks like Bannon is sliding into control under Trump’s cape.
Divide and conquer is going to be the order of the day.
This Putin thing seems to be the real deal - extra-sovereign interference.
There is no time to sit quietly and contemplate.

COUP: That word just resonated too cleanly in my mind.
You know when you get a pre-sentiment that actually means your mind has pieced stuff together and it sits on the edge of your conscious?
That word just pushed it into the open air, and it is sitting there unchallenged by the rest of me.
This is a coup.

The effects of nuclear weapons cannot be so limited. Also, in reality you cannot drop nuclear bombs on Daesh. You will simply kill civilians while the leadership is dug in deep underground. But I tend to agree that someone as crazy as Bannon is most unlikely to understand this.
edit -
I think he’s already lost in the weeds.

I think that there is a difference, in that Trump’s tweets go straight to the public without any editorial control.

- The military top brass get so sick of Trump they send tanks into Pennsylvania Avenue to remove him.

Clearly, the internet has become self aware, and decided your idea is the best one and should go to the top of the list.

All my trouble with false historical analogies aside: it took the entry of the USA into a devastating war to get rid of Il Douche and Den Fewer (hat tip to the punning clan above).
