Default Scaramucci punted as White House communications director

I wonder who the next target will be? Maybe they can break another record for fastest to get canned from a Trump appointed position. Saturday Night Live didn't even get to parody this clown, what a shame, all those potential comedy bits just disappeared forever. Hopefully they move him to another position for SNL's benefit.

Didn't think that psycho would last long. What a gong show they've got going down there. Different than the one going on up here but still a gongshow.

Doesn't Trump have some more relatives he could hand the position to? Maybe the daughter he never acknowledges.

Take it easy ladies. Nothing lasts forever.

He got fired cause he wasn't suitable, if he had been kept on y'all would be ranting about how terrible he was.

Just no pleasing some folks.

I can tell you from experience hiring humans is not an exact science and sometimes remedial action must be taken.

I think Scaramucci was put in for a very short dirty mission that the President did not want to do himself. Mission was accomplished with the two resignations, and there is an added bonus. The added bonus is that the media is focusing on this other than something that is not being noticed.

Default Drug testing!

Instead of worrying about poor people buying junk food with welfare cheques, they should have mandatory drug testing for WH staff! His behaviour was outrageous and Trump never should have appointed him or at the very least fired him immediately.

How can the WH be making X rated communications? I hope this new guy can get things back to at least polite.

This whole Scaramucci situation is about as bizarre as they come. This is a guy who is a graduate of Harvard Law and worked at one of the most the largest investment banking firms in the world, on top of founding an investment firm of his own that managed over $12 billion in assets. We all like to think he's a moron, but you don't make that happen for yourself without having something between your ears. That said,

Why did he so impulsively call a Washington correspondent for the New Yorker, and spill all of that? Was it supposed to be "off the record"?

Why did he and Priebus dislike each other so much?

Why did his wife suddenly decide to leave him as he achieved his dream of working in the White House in a fairly prestigious position?

Was it all to create headlines and roll the news cycle?

Sometimes boring is nice. When your shop gets mice in it, do you make sure to leave a few alive for future excitement and interest??

The Donald is a strategic genius. He got a hatchet guy to do a job he didn't want to do because of the optics.

No wonder he won the most important election in the free world.

I like to think of it this way, when you bring your wingman to the bar you always want to make sure he'll make you look good. Like the way justin makes even Trump look not so bad.

At least he isn't a immigrant that lied on his immigration papers like one of Trudeau's ministers. And he hasn't tried to take credit for other people's wartime contributions like another of Trudeau's ministers.

Boys, there is no doubt that there is a fine line between genius and madness. Who knows where the leader of the free world falls. Maybe both in the same day.

Just keep er between the lines (i.e. civil), and remember to have a good laugh while you are at it. Humour is not exclusive to positions on a political spectrum.

I had my optician remove the scales from my eyes when he did cataract surgery.

I can see clearly now. I can also hear in the dark.

I understand perfectly how it is that you can't see anything but discord and failure.

So Trump hires a guy, then hires another guy in order for the guy to resign so he can keep his hands clean and then he fires the another guy. Brilliant! Was it in the art of the deal?

No! I 100% disagree. This is about draining swamp. Democrats against trump (naturally), Regular republicans (bush's,) cannot stand him, Neo Conservative (McCain) are war monger they cannot stand him and Trumpians who love him. This is why cannot repeal Obamacare. Fact is you have a Private industry person with no ties to Washington, controlling Swamp creatures whom have infested American politics for last 40 years. Trump may/may not be able to pop this pimple. The resistance is strong, on all sides. Media is in bed with democrats, therefore all you see, blame trump for everything 24/7. America needs to crash and reset. There is no other possible positive scenario. Sooner this happens, then better for America.

He's playing the swamp creatures like a fiddle.
The real purpose of the Obamacare repeal and replace was to expose the swamp creatures in the Republican party.
Looks like he's done a good job of that.
The truth is Obamacare can be eliminated by executive order so long as POTUS does not create new law when doing so.
