I'm finding it increasingly difficult to wrap my head around how absolutely hosed up this administration currently is and is becoming. Like... they just keep raising the loving bar. You get used to one level of corruption and incompetence (sort of), and then something like this comes out. I'm drowning.

quote:

Spicer was not the only one opposed to Scaramucci’s hiring. His deputy, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, was as well. So, too, was chief of staff Reince Priebus and chief strategist Steve Bannon, who vocally opposed Trump’s decision, two senior Trump administration officials told The Daily Beast.

According to three senior officials with knowledge of the situation, they and other top aides worried that the Scaramucci hiring would perpetuate the notion of “amateur hour” in the West Wing. White House officials who opposed Scaramucci’s planned rise in Trump’s ranks have referred to the incoming new addition as a “joke” and as a Trump-world “hanger-on” who isn’t qualified for the job and is unprepared to handle the near-constant communications crisis dogging President Trump, senior White House aides noted.

But the president is a fan of Scaramucci’s big personality, having appreciated his fervent defense of the administration during numerous cable-news hits. Trump had tried to find Scaramucci other positions inside the administration, but they repeatedly fell through.


The president’s decision has the blessing of top advisers such as Hope Hicks, and family members and White House staff Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner. The move underscores the degree to which Trump remains committed to surrounding himself with flamboyant political outsiders—a key aspect of his political appeal, but one that some of his aides say hampers his legislative agenda and attempts to more deftly navigate Washington’s idiosyncratic culture.

Spivey's character will drop into the 6+ talking head round tables great. He can say something stupid and Van Jones can interrupt to lecture him. It will be great.

In case anyone was wondering how redditors on T_D feel about this:

NOW we can finally drain the swamp!

quote:

Drudge was hinting Spicer was a leaker for months now. If the anon is correct about the 27th, Trump is making moves. He'll be getting rid of the leakers, RINOs and cucks in his administration now. Then the swamp will start to be drained after the 27th. If the Anon is bullshit again, then Trumps in serious trouble and needs an entirely new communications team to help him progress his agenda and Spicer was bad at communicating it. Take your pick, but that seems to be the two options.

Lots of talk about something they expect to happen on the 27th. On what someone expects on that date:

quote:

I am not qualified to speculate but I will, My guess is that formal charges are about to be filed against one of the swamp monsters.
(Possibly McCain, He made North Vietnamese communist propaganda in exchange for Good Boy Points during the war, They called him "SongBird". I wouldn't put it past him and the DC swamp to lie about a serious medical condition so that he can get out of testifying, Especially if he is a critical tress in their house of cards.)

No, no, McCain isn't on his death bed, he's faking that brain tumor to get out testifying about a completely made up story about him helping the Vietnamese during his captivity so that the gov't won't charge him for a made up crime from over 40 years ago ???? I guess? I don't even know what that guy thinks they're going to charge him with. Shaking his head solemnly at all the bad poo poo Trump has done?

Then this is great news. The main problem seems to be the actual professionals think Scaramucci is going to be yet another incompetent dead weight or loud moron added to the mix. Trump can't help shooting his own supporters in the dick for his daughter or son-in-law's friends. If it's true then we're going to see some amusing PR disasters pretty soon.

Yeah in the business world this would be a CEO giving his golfing buddy a cushy management job and expecting the other manager at the site to pick up the workload while the guy just fucks around all day.
