Scaramucci Out (Time in Office: 10 days)

It'll be interesting to see if we ever find out how it actually went down. The NYT is reporting it as:

The decision to remove Mr. Scaramucci, who had boasted about reporting directly to the president, not the chief of staff, John F. Kelly, came at Mr. Kelly’s request, the people said. Mr. Kelly made clear to members of the White House staff at a meeting Monday morning that he is in charge.

Life comes atcha fast, Mooch. See ya, wouldn't wanna be ya.

I need to re-read Alice in Wonderland and find out how to get out of the rabbit hole. I've had enough of this 'shroom experience.

Thunderbolts and lightning! Very very frightening! Thank god the chaos is over. Now Trump can get down to making this country great again! --s6 (surely you people know me well enough that I can skip the emoji)

What they don't tell you is the real reason the guy's out is to stop the interns from bobbing up and down the halls in a chorus of "Galileo-Galileo! Galileo-Galileo! Galileo-Figaro." Certain people mistook those for the names of wayward staff-members no one could find.

I have work to do, and I'm legit worried about closing Twitter for fear of what I'll see when I open it again.

At least we're still at the stage where this stuff is funny.

... I wonder if it's too late for him to try and salvage his marriage.

I actually almost feel bad for the guy. Almost.

According to my nerd friends, Scaramucci broke the record previously held by John Koehler, who was the communications director for the Reagan Administration for 11 days and then fired because it was found he was a member of the Hitler's Youth.

With Apologies To Mario Puzo...

Sonny: What the hell is this?

Clemenza: It's a Sicilian message. It means Tony Scaramucci sleeps with the fishes.




Sonny: How's Tony?

Clemenza: Oh, Tony... won't see him no more.

You don't have to. Really. This guy has been scheming to get up the Trump ladder for months. If you read that HuffPo piece, you can't come away feeling anything other than he's a weasel who might actually have an ego bigger than Trump's.

ETA: Oh, hang on. The HuffPo link was in the other thread. Here is it

I hope not.

“She’s mad. They aren’t really speaking right now,” the source said of Diedre.“The [pain] runs deep. [Anthony] tells her she’s not that smart, that he’s out of her league.”

She can do better.

Ew... never mind, that half-pity didn't last long. I hope he begs her to come back and she laughs in his face.

He really has zero redeeming qualities, doesn't he?

I figured that Trump wouldn't have much time for someone who appears more desperate for the spotlight than he is. As soon as Scaramucci referred to himself as "The Mooch" I figured Trump would start pushing him to the door. The Donald has dibs on the "the".

The irony is that The Mooch thought up to the last minute that *he* was the one pushing other people to the door.

Mooch v. Reince

Wow. In the link I posted above, Conway was quoted saying, "I think he's oxygen for the soul."

I think I need to puke.

That is awesome! LOL

From Twitter: "If you bought milk on the day Scaramucci was hired, it is still fresh."

In our Humbug opinion these are not well people. Has a Commedia del arte troupe taken over the White House?
A real conservative would not stand for this stuff for one minute. Of course, most of today's 'conservatives" are Take-The-Money-And-Run, Skroo-You-I've-Got-Mine Libertarians.
I'm patiently waiting for the State of California or some other state to indict Fat Little Donnie for Treason Against The State.
(Remember, John Brown (who tried to start a slave revolt) was arrested, indicted, tried and hung for treason against the State of Virginia, NOT the USA.

In Kansas we revere John Brown. Slicing and dicing pro-slavery assholes was not only commendable but patriotic in a Free State. --s6

He is dead to them? I wonder if lawyers learned that from gangsters or the other way around? Or, maybe they are trying to downplay the thought that he is one of theirs?

Ten days is also about how long it takes for a newborn's umbilical cord to fall off. His son was born last Thursday.
