Scooch, Mooch! Trump removes Scaramucci from communications director job

We once tried to invent rules for chess where pieces could move through time as well. I’m sure it’s doable, but we failed due to being super-high.

That reminds me, I really have to get around to making that raumschach board…

There is a movie called “Short Bus” where a guy does Steve Bannons trick, sort of.
He doesn’t look much like Steve Bannon though. It’s a fun movie.

He’ll probably take an extended brake and do some of that bleeding he often accuses others of doing.

It is kind of shitty that people keep calling an announcement that an already-persecuted minority is possibly going to lose jobs and rights a “distraction”.

I’m hoping this idea follows Bannon and/or Scaramucci forever, like how we are still talking about the size of Trump’s hands many years after his spat with Spy magazine.

Mr. White House Chief of Staff seems to have based his employee retention methods on the last game of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds he played before leaving the house that morning…

I agree. Trump will use anyone as a pawn in these affairs. Deplorable shite-stains will do that, I guess.

Scaramucci might not be the abject failure that we’re all making him out to be.

At least according to this interview on Charlie Rose last night, with Jonathan Swan, national political reporter for Axios, Scaramucci was brought on board to do one thing and one thing only: to get rid of Reince Priebus. At the 4m30s mark :

“Look, Scaramucci was brought in for a very specific purpose (smiling). Jared and Ivanka, uh, you know … and again, this is not, uh, wishful sort of retrospective reporting… they brought him in to destroy Reince Priebus and, uh, he… he did that. I don’t think they imagined it would be as, uh, spectacularly controversial as it was, but, uh, he’s a very divisive figure, he’s a very divisive figure in the White House.”

Weird. Trump seems to have no hesitations about firing people. Why would he need the Mooch’s help with Priebus?

Probably to serve as a potential scapegoat and distraction versus Trump going ahead and firing him.

Or maybe being president is more stressful than being first lady.

I’m not sure Melania would agree.

Whether they tried to ‘disguise it’ or not, every prez I can remember in my lifetime looked markedly older upon leaving office; I tend to think that would be the case even if the POTUS were a woman with a deep-vested interest in her appearance.

Ooh…

The sex in that movie was real, not simulated, including that scene. Sook-Yin Lee, who played one of the main characters, was almost fired from her job as a CBC Radio host for appearing in the movie.

There used to be a website where this dude had very artistic, Mapplethorpe-esque black-and-white shots of himself in difficult yoga poses doing the deed. “Selfellatio” really rolls off the tongue. If, uh, you’ll pardon the expression.

Well, that would have been wrong. Fun movie.
