Scaramucci Fired

[MomentsofSanity]

Did they even have time to add Scaramucci to the survivor White House photo?

 

[IronWing]

Reportedly he was escorted off the WH grounds.

Given the smoking wreckage that used to be his life and a penchant for leaking stuff this should be an interesting time.

He wasn't there long enough to learn anything. Telling the world you're going to fire everybody isn't the best strategy for getting people to confide in you.

Some good Trump quotes:

"My philosophy is always to hire the best from the best."

"I surround myself with the best people. I know the best people."

"We have great people. We have the most loyal people. We have the smartest people. You know, so many of my people, they’re so smart. They like to say, well, Trump, I don’t know if he’s got this right — let me tell you, we have the smartest people. We have the people that are the smartest, and the strongest, and the best and the hardest working. We have the smartest people. We’ll put I.Q.s among — some of us, we couldn’t say all of us, right — against any I.Q.s that we — we have to deal with, that I can tell you. I would love to do that."

"But I think we’re going to see some tremendous talent, tremendous talent coming in. We have many people for every job. I mean no matter what the job is, we have many incredible people. I think, Reince, you can sort of just confirm that. The quality of the people is very good. ... We’re trying very hard to get the best people. Not necessarily people that will be the most politically correct people, because that hasn’t been working. So we have really experts in the field. Some are known and some are not known, but they’re known within their field as being the best. That’s very important to me."

The best people.

Did he even get paid yet?

SS works under Homeland Security. Used to work under Treasury.

I wonder why I think SS report to VP

 

[J.Wilkins]

Could be that they found something really dirty on him and don't want to risk another scandal involving a WH member.

yea, bannon showed him a neat trick he can do now that he's flying solo.

Considering he paid $100K for a short cameo in the "Wall Street" movie...along with a brief shot of his company logo...maybe he bought a short stint in the Trump White House...

The foul-mouthed former Wall Street executive, who is now running President Trump’s communications team, appeared in the film as an unnamed short seller working for Josh Brolin’s character. He was in two scenes totaling less than 15 seconds total.

Citing “sources close to the production,” the Beast reported that Scaramucci paid $100,000 for the two cameos plus for the SkyBridge Capital logo to be displayed prominently in the film during a scene at a charity auction.

Scaramucci founded SkyBridge Capital, a global investment firm with over $11 billion in assets under its control.

According to the Beast, Trump also filmed a one-minute scene where he made small talk with Gordon Gekko, famously played by Michael Douglas, but it didn’t make the final version of the film.

Trump even joked about is famous hairstyle, according to the Beast, with a line to Gekko, “Has anyone ever told you that you’d look great — really great — in a combover?”

The conflict of interest would be incredible.

That was probably a good move on his part.

I just remembered, it is indeed Treasury, or used to be.

I learned it from Tom Clancy book. Debt of Honor me think.

 

[NAC4EV]

This is SO appropriate, just like all the others.
Trump Admin. = Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey

VPs get to open the Senate sessions, close them, and break ties. All other duties are at the whim of the President. Clinton, Bush II, and Obama all made extensive use of their VPs. At the other end of the scale, FDR barely acknowledged Truman's existence.

In fairness mooch was a pretty good fall guy for firing "the leaker".

Dan Quayle couldn't count to potato

Dan Quayle couldn't count to potato

I figured out something about Quayle. If you listen to him on the radio, he's fine. He still holds political views abhorrent to all beings natural and otherwise but he comes across as reasonably articulate and polished. It's when he gets in front of camera that he gets the Woody Harrelson stare.

Scaramucci's time as Communications Director is believed to be the shortest run in White House history.

It's shorter than Kim Kardashian's marriage to Kris Humphries (72 days).

It's shorter than the run of "Doubt" on CBS (2 weeks).

It's shorter than Conan O'Brien's tenure on 'The Tonight Show' (7 months).

It's shorter than El Chapo's time on the run after escaping prison (7 months).

It's shorter than the time the Chilean miners spent trapped (69 days).

It's LONGER than Carmen Electra's marriage to Dennis Rodman (9 days).

LOL

 

[soundforbjt]

Watching Fox, current show has all the winners on, Allen West, Ann Coulter. What a freak show.

John Kelly thought he (the mooch) lacked discipline

So much for getting rid of those leaks.

 

[FIVR]

Remember when sessions was about to resign? Seems like years ago.




Where is the next shiny object? If mooch isn't leaking this minute, this was a planned "firing" from the start. I'm sure this has something to do with Skybridge

 

[ivwshane]

Ahahahahaaahaa!!!!


I was having an otherwise shitty day until I saw this!

Thanks trump!! I'm enjoying all the winning!

 

[Puffnstuff]

Holy crap, I thought this had to be a joke....

Seriously, if anyone needed one final lessons at how good a judge of character--IMO the most important quality in a leader--Trump is (or isn't), this should be the one.

When his presidency is over maybe Fox can create a new sitcom for him - Trump Family Values. You know the party faithful will diligently watch every episode.

 

[werepossum]

Hi there! Do you have a big bank account and an even bigger ego? Got absolutely no qualifications other than some free time? Well, then you too can be White House Communications Director for a day!

I predict that by 2019, all positions in the Trump White House will be filled by a blind lottery, with duration determined by the square on which the decapitated chicken finally expires a la South Park.
