News crawls. No stories yet.
-
What I just heard on the radio is that the Mooch claimed to report directly to the President, and that the new Chief o' Staff didn't cotton to such notions.

Confirmed, even on his old network, Fox News. The story there indicates that Kelly is in fact the guy who gave him the boot, and that Spicer's and Priebus' departures were actually both protests due to Scaramucci getting the job.
Pretty big mess IMO. As I said before, Scaramucci actually has an excellent grasp of the economy. Maybe he should have been put into some kind of economic advisor role that would have kept him behind the scenes. Starting only a couple of hours into his appointment, he just came off as a privileged frat boy with an attitude that's all hat and no cattle. I don't care what his expertise is, with his mouth he had no business in the roll Trump gave him. Not to mention that he somehow believed that "off the record" with a reporter is off the record.
Really bad decision by the President for appointing him to the wrong roll, and between people quitting and getting booted so frequently, is really making this look like the credits in the Benny Hill Show.

I was just coming to post this.
What's going on here!? How am I supposed to sit back and watch it all burn (hilariously) if Trump keeps firing the comic relief!?!?

Poor guy can't even use the "I wanted to spend more time with my family" excuse. :'(

Being the perpetual optimist that I am (in between periods of being a perpetual pessimist), I harbor faint hopes that this will end up being A GOOD THING (tm). I didn't trust Priebus, and the only reason I could think of for Trump giving him the Chief of Staff position was to keep a close eye on him. It won't surprise me if it comes out that he was the source of many of the leaks.
Scaramucci was a colossal mistake. He won't be missed. I gots nuttin' more to say about dat.

My thought on Preibus was that he was supposed to be the go-between to Congress ("Hey, I raised the money that got you elected.") to help get Trump legislative initiatives push through. He obviously failed at that. And as "Door-keeper" to the Oval Office, as apparently anyone could walk in any time.
Congress has proven to be the Stupid Part of the Stupid Party. They are just begging to be put out of a job come next fall.

Hey, we might get Kid Rock in Michigan. Latest poll shows him walking all over present Sen. Debbie StabUnow.

I didn't care, but it seems positive. Then the last 4 or 5 days the news headlines have been about his blabbing to the media about all sorts of stuff. He was talking about stopping the leaks while talking to the media about all sorts of stuff. Or so it seemed.

oh, its allll good.
priebus probably was a leaker.
the mooch is anti gun, which means he's stupid or evil.
Trump is on a troll, oops I mean roll.
if he can get another scotus pick and we end up with national reciprocity?
I'll vote R for eternity, will instruct my close friends to register me after I die to vote R too

I was thinking today that if Trump really wanted that attitude in that job, he should've gotten Penn Jillette so it would be intentionally hilarious.

Maybe we can talk both Penn and Teller to run for Senate. What state do they live in.... Nevada?
Yep, Nevada.

My little (2yo) girl, a few days ago, we thought was listening to the radio as she said, under her breath, "Scawamuichi, heh, heh, heh"
I had assumed she just found the name funny. Now, I'm pretty sure she's been behind the firings at the White House and was making her hit list.
I'm watching her closely now.
