Sean Spicer is Out!

News to come ...

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/0...

He vehemently disagreed? LOL. Now he disagrees with the President? I can't feel sorry for Sean. But maybe he used it as a chance to get out.

That's what I am thinking. Convenient...

Another one bites the dust......another one bites the dust.....!

And another one's gone and another one's gone!

Another one bites the dust!

I just feel bad for SNL.

Who's next? My money is on Kellyanne. 

I'd be glad, if it mattered ...

How wild that with the inauguration only six months in the rear view mirror, news stories are already constantly quoting "former Trump White House staffers." Usually the president leaves office before there are that many former employees. Not any more.

Scaramucci is bad news. When the JCC's were receiving bomb threats, he tweeted that the Democrats might be behind them.

"Earlier on Tuesday, Anthony Scaramucci, a New York financier with ties to Trump who has accepted a White House position, posted on Twitter noting that it was not clear who was behind the Jewish Community Center threats. In his tweet, he included a link to a story alleging Democratic Party attempts to incite violence at Trump rallies."

Does any other line from Queen come to mind?

Yep, dude has to have been hearing "do the fandango" jokes for years now

Spent a lot of time during his intro today praising Reince Preibus, which means he'll pursue and have his job by the end of the year

"Mooch" Is a shiny, new ornament on the tree. Doesn't really upgrade the administration. 

I'm no trump fan and this is only a comms position, may be just rearranging deck chairs as they say, but I think Scaramucci is a decent, smart, optimistic and pragmatic guy that will at least stabilize the WH communications. 

Do I agree with him on everything -- no. But mark my words this is a major upgrade. 

Isn't she essentially already  gone?

I'm really going to miss Melissa Mccarthy.

why do people think that PR and Communications are positions that anyone with an easy smile and half-decent education can do? Especially if the position being filled is Communications Director for a head of State??? 

It would be easier if the rest of the team were more grown-up, supportive and reasonable. But look at them - they either act like desperate high schoolers caught with fake ID cards, pretending to be older/more skilled than they are; or they are constantly caught acting out the fairy stories they're writing for favourite nieces and nephews. 

Job would also be easier if there more people around in other departments to easily and quietly consult with, either to gather background info or to help build a stream of positive stories. You need experienced background people of your own in every department and organisation. Pity there are so many vacancies - each call for assistance is more obvious now. It's not like 'researching' for a book.

I don't think it's possible to upgrade a position when the job description entails lying daily on behalf of the boss.

 Not until she comes up with a fake excuse to resign. She doesn't have enough dignity to resign on her own, she will find a smokescreen.

l've been with you such a long time -- you're my sunshine, and I want you to know that my feelings are true: I really love you.

But yours works, too.

I didn't mean literally. She's not seen anymore so, to me, she's essentially gone.

The new Bannon book says that Rebecca Mercer, she of the radical right wing billionaire clan, sat Trump down, said Manafort had to go, and basically forced DJT to take on Bannon, Conway, and Bossie.

But the Mooch is everything you might expect from Trump - slick, rich, well-groomed, and obsequious - said he loved Trump 20 times. According to the Mooch, Trump can hit jump shots in a suit, throw a football through a car tire, etc. I tried picturing both activities and just couldn't imagine it. Some objective reports say Trump can't even walk short distances, preferring golf carts (even driving them onto greens, a no-no) and the "exercise" that comes with golfing.

As my niece once derisively said about golf as a sport, "Nobody even guards the hole."

While he did give love, give love, give love, give love, give love, give love, give love, give love, give love, give love, give love, give love, give love, give love, give love, give love, give love, give love, give love, give love, the 20 times included references to several others in the adminstration, too, not just Trump.

But love's such an old fashioned word.

Points for the Queen reference.  But will Scaramucci do the Fandango?

Whether you see her or or not, she's still collecting $180,000 per year from you and I.  I'd say she's about as gone as Omarosa who collects the same salary.
