He seemed to spend most of that press conference talking about ratings, making truck loads of cash and how little of that politics malarkey he knows so yeah, there be trouble ahead.

Spicer never bothered me. His job was by definition to shovel horse shit. He didn’t make it stink he just delivered the steaming pile. You could even tell he didn’t believe what he was saying which actually provided comic relief to the shit show. Sessions on the other hand needs escorted out asap. His antiquated, backwards dumb shit from yesteryear needs to end.

Poor Spice, i felt so bad for him, he was my favorite of the worst, i would watch his cringe worthy briefings religiously (then i started working mornings and couldn’t do that >_> )
I always knew he wouldn’t last, trying to cover up in public must have been ridiculously tough, and ruined his credibility, Kate Bolduan said he wasn’t actually all that bad (paraphrasing)

They get Stockholm Syndrome like Chris Christie. Trump disparages them but it just makes them try harder to curry his favor. They know if they ever wake up and try to break free from the cult it’s going to be a painful life on the outside

Same …
How many times did he say that he (or we) love the president? In an environment where kissing ass is the MOST important job skill, he just might manage to stick around…

Breitbart’s definition of ‘long-time loyalist’ is charmingly incovfefeable. From an August 2015 Fox Business segment, here’s the Mooch’s take on Trump:
“a hack politician and anti-American…democratic plant for Hillary Clinton and Elizabeth Warren…I’ll tell you who he’s going to be president of—you can tell Donald I said this—the Queens County bullies association…You’re an inherited-money dude from Queens County. Bring it, Donald, bring it.”
(gleaned from yesterday’s quick take on tweets the Mooch is deleting, over at Gizmodo.)

Breitbart reports that Anthony Scaramucci said “Breitbart ‘Captured the Spirit’ of America”
“I think that one of the things that Breitbart has done has captured the spirit of what is actually going on in this country,” Scaramucci said in an interview on Breitbart News Saturday on SiriusXM Patriot Channel 125.
As a former Wall Street financier, Scaramucci explained that he spent time during the campaign connecting directly with President Donald Trump’s supporters, realizing that they were just like his friends and neighbors in Long Island, NY, where he grew up.
…and not at all like inherited-money bastards from Queens County.
I hope someone brought warm towels after that mutual stroke-fest.
ETA: Also another story where Breitbart reports that Breitbart interviewed Scaramucci. Very meta.
Between the lines: Sean Spicer had a terrible relationship with Breitbart, the right-wing outlet whose alumni, including Steve Bannon, now work in the White House. Scaramucci now appears to want to elevate the outlet in general, and Boyle in particular.
Obviously Spicer’s loyalty problem was that he wasn’t loyal to President Bannon.

Bannon said to Scaramucci, “over my dead body will you get this job,” according to [Katy] Tur, who said two sources confirmed it to her and fellow NBC reporter Stephanie Ruhle. [link]
Almost hoping Trump hires Sarah Palin before Spicy leaves in August, and then the whole gang cuts a record… Power pop lineup: founding members Pumpkin Spice and Scarry Spice, joined by outgoing star Whiny Spice and new members Scary Spice and Bible Spice.

That place seems bound together by their mutual loathing.

I dunno, by contrast, Scott McLellan was so infuriatingly good at the job. Guess he had better fecula to work with.
In a weird sort of way, I’d (almost) like to see Katrina Pierson rotated back into the center ring.
Fill in the blank:
The president requested that Mr. Spicer stay on as _____________
