Trump Removes Anthony Scaramucci From Communications Director Role

Upon hearing the news Scaramucci's reply was :

(a) "Yeah? Communicate this."

(b) "I got something for you to communicate right here."

(c) Utterly unprintable yet soon to be printed somewhere.

I never watched the original "The Apprentice". I was waiting for the Presidential version. So far it's pretty damn good.

[hrtshpdbox]

I saw a story that Rasmussen had Trump below 40 pct for the first time. Watching Trump's beautiful presentation of the Medal of Honor to a Vietnam-era medic, I'm thinking the Rasmussen story is a reverse of the Time magazine curse, where appearance on their cover of a person or idea means that person or idea has peaked. Although I think Trump has been doing just fine, I thoroughly expect a great deal of Americans to also start feeling that way (and for his rating at Rasmussen and elsewhere to skyrocket). Trump is a good man, he was right about the swamp, he's been right about so much. God bless him.

[Ignatz Ratzkiwatzki]

Kelly runs a tight ship.
Whatever Scaramucci's virtues, he would be more closely associated with a loose cannon than a tight ship by virtually anyone = man overboard.

[Jane (Stand against the Coup)]

I like Scaramucci alot, but after his little presser I don't see an alternative to letting him go. That was just dumb.

[Eric in Boise]

I was going to say "Magnifico!", but decided I didn't want CH or DrJ lobbing an M67 my way.

[Captain Hate]

The Horde is roundly slattering GOP apologist JackassStraw, who is doubtlessly missing his partner Hollowhead to share the burden.

Poor Scaramucci now he has to go back to being an unemployed billionaire. He's also a lacrosse Dad at Manhasset high school and I can tell you he fits that mold pretty darn well

MM - did you see Glenda's contribution on the last thread to our ongoing 'why they really hate him' discussion? not just elitist snobbery but also naked envy. excellent point i think:

"Trump has everything the parasites ever wanted : The Presidency--Personal wealth--success--Air Force 1 😉--independence from special interest $$--lobbyist greed, the largest microphone (army) (rank and file citizen) in the world--the ability to connect, counsel, --err, while adapting on the fly! And Melania !!"

[Miss Marple the Deplorable]

exdemocrat,

No, I will go back and check. Envy sounds about right to me.

[Frau Steingehirn]

sidwhite - Obama left a parting, poisonous gift of the early Jan 2017 report on the Russians influencing our election. The meager basis of evidence--I read what has online--was Russian TV (RT) and social media . That was all they had, but it was the "official" statement from FBI, CIA and NSA and the conclusion was that the Russians most certainly tried to influence the election. Since then it is repeated as gospel. Doesn't that justify Mueller's Hunt for Red Donald?
As Comey kinda said to Pres.Trump, "You are not under investigation at present, but maybe later."

Just drove downtown and noticed while AM Talk Radio channel surfing that DWS and the Awan Brothers scandal was covered on all 4 of our current Talk Shows discussing matters, and I'm not including Rush who's Show ended the hour previous---Hannity, Dana Loesch, Scnitt, and a show with 2 guys who's name I can never remember.

Overall point being that there ain't a single radio listening Conservative anywhere in America at least partially aware of the DWS/Awan scandal and at least 100% aware that it is being hushed up by the MSM since at least 3 of the Shows mentioned that a big part of the scandal is that it is intentionally not being covered by the Dem protecting MSM.

That out to be a new tag line for the MSM---"Proudly Protecting Democrat ass since Walter Cronkite."

[Miss Marple the Deplorable]

Frau,

One of my youngest sister's best friends is from Venezuela and about 25 years ago my sister flew down to Caracas to visit her. I sure wouldn't have been able to handle it, as she had instructions about fake taxicabs who kidnap and murder Americans, roving bands of cholos, etc.

She said it was a beautiful place but made her nervous.

Her friend since has moved to Miami along with almost the entire family. The father was a doctor who practiced here so they got in as relatives and have since become citizens. Most of the upper middle class has left.

Such a tragedy.

[Buckeye]

Poor Scaramucci. Lost his wife and his job. Bank account is still intact though.

[Dave (in MA)]

[Miss Marple the Deplorable]

Wictor was the one who pointed me to that article in Arab News. Seems like it's a pretty big deal but no one is very interested in actual news.

Right now I am listening to the press go on and on about Scaramucci and who is reporting to Kelly and chaos and so forth.

They really are a bunch of dim bulbs.

Trump threatens millions of senators with imminent death

Glowering darkly over his trademark reading glasses, Senator Chuck Schumer warned, “If the president refuses to make the cost-sharing reduction payments, every expert agrees that premiums will go up and health care will be more expensive for millions of Americans. The president ought to stop playing politics with people’s lives and health care, start leading and finally begin acting presidential."

While the Schumer quote sounds as though he were actually concerned for other Americans, researchers at the nonpartisan People’s Cube, America’s most equal and most trusted news source, have found out differently. Through our contacts with anonymous sources and current and former officials, The People’s Cube has acquired the Schumer Translation Device, or STD, which accurately decodes statements by the New York senator.

[Jane (Stand against the Coup)]

Dave I have a close friend from Tehran and I've always wanted to go there. Just today she posted a gorgeous picture of a church there on Facebook. Her entire family is there so she gets to visit.

I would never ever risk it.

Sad really.

[Buckeye]

Couple more observations from the race track in the cornfields of Ahia:

1) When the pastor giving the Invocation ask the crowd to stand and remove their hats, they did. Not a single hajib in sight. Most said "Amen" after the prayer.

2) They stayed standing and were respectful during singing of the National Anthem.

3) Cheered the skydivers towing American flags.

4) At the end of the race day and as everyone was packing up folding chairs and coolers, didn't see anyone who wasn't cleaning up after themselves and and putting their refuse in the trash cans.

I don't think many libtards were there and nobody messed with the people wearing "Make America Great Again" red hats.

[Miss Marple the Deplorable]

Anyone else who is on Twitter, are you finding people in your time line that you know darn well you never followed? Ran across another one today, a reporter for the Miami Times.

It seems that every day or so I run across one of these accounts, and they are always reporters or newspaper columnists.

[henry]

Miss M, Twitter must sell access to timelines. I've had that happen when I'm suddenly following someone I never heard of, then got blocked for unfollowing someone that showed up uninvited.

I think it was Clarice who in mentioned in so many words the other day that any politician undergoing a trial in DC has a strike against him if he/she has an (R) behind his name (ala Ted Stevens) and has a "Get Out of Jail Free" card if he/she has a (D) behind her name.

Without question DWS will not be unanimously convicted by a Jury in DC, even if there is video of her holding the smoking gun over Seth Rich's dead body. Is there any alternative to trying her and Awan outside of DC? I recall that the trial of Ted Stevens was moved to DC from Girdwood Alaska under the foolish notion that Ted Stevens would get a fair trail in DC but would have a biased Jury in Girdwood Alaska.

It's kinda odd when you think about it.

Ben used to do Jaylo:
I specifically remember their split because I was on a family vacation on Kauai at the time and I had to use a rolled up People Magazine headlined "Ben And JayLo Are History!" to stab a cockroach in the bathroom the size of a hamster that had the kids shrieking and momma petrified.

And Kate used to do A-Rod.

And now A-Rod and JayLo are doing each other:

I can only conclude that Kate and Ben need to get together to square the circle, so we can take another family vacation to Kauai.

"Since Comey is on record saying that "the best evidence" is only available if the FBI personally does the forensic analysis of the equipment, I ask again if Comey can point to any other example during his FBI tenure when he acquiesced to an outside agency doing the forensic analysis, and if not why not?"

My question, lawyerly types, is this:
Can Mueller reasonably expect a judge to allow a report from a firm employed by the DNC with connections to Ukrane be entered into evidence at a criminal trial, UNLESS, any defendant is allowed to examine whatever (DNC server) the DNC’s consultant used as a basis for its opinion?

Sean Spicer Pictured Looking Smug as Hell After Scaramucci’s Removal (PHOTO)

[Frau Steingehirn]

Hey! that looks like Adam Schiff's chocolate side, daddy. He usually doesn't photograph that well.

[Dave (in MA)]

Could be smug or could be just "Hey, Sean. Could I get a picture?"

[James D.]

Without question DWS will not be unanimously convicted by a Jury in DC, even if there is video of her holding the smoking gun over Seth Rich's dead body.

And she can't be expelled from her House seat without a 2/3 majority vote, which of course will never happen.

But can Speaker Ryan punish her in other ways? Can he cut or zero out her budget for staff, travel, etc? Deny her access to any House IT resources? Fine her for the costs of cleaning up after the mess her and her criminal IT buddies caused?

Surely there must be some fine print in the rules of the House that would allow her - and every other Dem who employed the Awan clan - to be disciplined in a way that would actually impact them?

[Dave (in MA)]

That plane looks like it was pretty rusty.

[James D.]

Never mind, I see my error. Even if he had the power, Speaker Ryan wouldn't ever consider punishing DWS or any other Dem for their blatantly criminal acts that defrauded the taxpayers, risked national security data, and damaged GOP electoral prospects. It's "not who we are," right?

[Miss Marple the Deplorable]

Here's the Medal of Honor ceremony. It's well worth watching.

[daddy]

Ext,

That hail damage is frightening. I cannot imagine how awful it was to get yourself into such a catastrophic situation in the first place, and then struggling to figure out how to survive when it happened.

I recall a few years back a Delta (?) 747 getting similarly pummeled in China. They saw the massive thunderstorm ahead and asked for vectors around it from Chinese ATC, but were refused vectors by the ChiComs due to restricted Military Airspace, so they plowed ahead and almost killed everybody on board.

That is often discussed in training so you just play the scenario in your mind, decide what your options are, and decide to go ahead and declare an Emergency, broadcast your intentions to deviate and go ahead and do so on your own, then deal with the paperwork and diplomatic consequences afterwards.

The other day being rerouted from Guangzhou back to Delhi we got put in a similar situation in Western China when in Dalien's airspace a huge weather front of 50,000 foot thunder bumpers was in front of us stretching easily a hundred miles right of our track and 15 miles left of our track. Dalien ATC refused to let us deviate west of track, so immediately upon being switched at the last minute to the next ATC Center, Kunming, and planning on asking for and executing a 90 degree right turn regardless of permission, I asked them for immediate turn left 20 miles of track and they instantly gave it to us. Whew. Didn't have to declare an Emergency or execute Plan B! Slid around it with plenty room of to spare and boomed on into Myanmar's Airspace shortly after. I mention all this to illustrate how it is much more difficult in some International locations to get permission for sensible deviations, and especially so because their ATC systems are so substandard and their radio transmissions are so terrible (English is a second language), plus every body else is babbling in Chinese dialects. Thankfully though, any time we have India as a destination the company puts on tons and tons of extra gas so we have great flexibility to deviate hundreds of miles without sweating running low on gas.

You'll recall an Air Indonesia flight fell out of the sky about a year ago because they could not get permission to deviate from ATC and went ahead and penetrated a thunderstorm to the loss of the plane and everybody on board.

I can't imagine anyone allowing themselves Stateside to intentionally penetrate a thunderstorm since our systems are so much better and flexible,, so I'm interested in what happened to the plane in the picture Ext linked. If it was Stateside, no excuse.

[maryrose]

Jane:
At the very least she should be charged with tampering with our elective process.

[Frau Steingehirn]

Of course, those I mentioned at 5:42 are Old School Rules.

New School Rules: "Cold Cash" Jefferson did not get even noticed by the ethics committee until he was taken away by the feds. Pelosi protection and Denny Hastert was alarmed that anything be removed from the building without permission.

Oh, yes.

I’m rather surprised that they’re so good.

And Ladies and Gentleman that is why Plum was the Donald Trump of literature.

[Frau Steingehirn]

Scared is not enough for me, Jane. DWS skated with the DNC criminal activities. How many lives does a scorpion have?

Yes, Bernie was not really a Democrat, so who cares? Actually, a lot of sincere, useful idiots who backed him and believed the primary was on the up and up were shocked by the open manipulation at the convention.

[daddy]

Do you guys remember when I think Madeline Albright lost some super top secret computer from a secure room in some Govt Conference?

I can't recall the timeframe but I wonder if Awan was in Govt at the time?

[Barbara]

I'm not an expert at bowling, but to use that metaphor it looks to me as if President Trump used Scaramucci to take out two pins, Spicer and Priebus, at the same time.

[Frau Steingehirn]

Yes, maryrose, with your desire for hefty lawyers fees. Will DWS get the Clinton treatment that Imran Awan is getting?

Anyone seen Mr. Awan? Where are his brothers?

[matt, deplore me if you must]

I think Miss Marple hit it on the head. This is a heck of a reality show from the kabuki on Capitol Hill to the Greek Chorus in the medis to the West Wing drama.

And in the meantime, the country seems to be making some progress.

I do wish that Trump could elucidate a more stable message, and I think Kelly will help with that.

[maryrose]

Frau:
His brothers are back in Pakistan I believe.
I do think some blackmailing going on .
Especially DWS.

[Barbara]

The exit of Spicer and Priebus allowed the President to move Sarah Huckabee Sanders into the position of White House Press Secretary. Priebus ' departure allowed him to bring in the stellar guy in his administration, General Kelly. Scaramucci was the mechanism.

Of course, I have no way to be sure of any of this. But if I had to choose a scenario to explain these successive events, this would be the one. President Trump appears to be one or two steps ahead of everyone else. He never does something without a reason.

This is going to be an interesting 8 years. He's going to drive Washington and the media crazy just trying to figure him out, let alone determine his next move.

[Miss Marple the Deplorable]

Barbara,

I am with you.

Consider Scaramucci. Does anyone think that Trump didn't know that Scaramucci was
1. Foul mouthed
2. Volatile
3. Full of himself
4. Not going to work with a general as chief of staff

Hell, for all I know Trump had a long hidden grudge with Scaramucci and used him to both rid himself of Priebus and Sanders plus get back at Scaramucci. We will, of course, never know.

An entertaining 10 days, and meanwhile, for all we know there is a huge troop build-up for North Korea or iran, Venezuela is hit with sanctions and stern warnings, Trump isn't accepting the Senate's do nothing attitude about Obamacare, and General Kelly is now chief of staff, Priebus and Spicer having been sent to the minors.

Trump's Twitter and Facebook account are in the millions. Twitter cannot afford to get rid of his account or they will find themselves without a lot of users. Same with Facebook.

My friend Jan who calls me every day for news called this afternoon. She said she had always respected members of the House and Senate, but now she realizes how meiocre most of them are.

Then it occurred to me. Most of these guys get in office through local politics, then state politics or being a Congressional aide, then run for Representative and then Senator. Every stepp of the way they are compromised by special interest money, going along to get along pressure, and hints on how to behave in order to be members of the club.

We have allowed a political class to set up a system which self-selects for mediocrity.

[Miss Marple the Deplorable]

I should have said SPICER rather than Sanders. Sorry.

[Frau Steingehirn]

Someone in DWS's district should start now and continue to assail her judgment and record.

She has two years to get her carp act together.

[Miss Marple the Deplorable]
