Few happy moments still exist in the Twitterverse anymore, 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.

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