Scaramucci may not be a mobster, but he sure looks, talks and acts like one. Even mobsters have been known to graduate from places like Tufts and Harvard. So the Mafia has arrived at the White House.

This dude would have been fine if he had requested this convo be off the record. If he had, this would have been another "unnamed sources close to the president said" piece like all the others. Instead he's on record and the whole thing has blown up into a huge scandal.

But for all the people wondering how these White House leaks happen... this is how. It's not necessarily the "deep state" LOL. Staffers fight covert wars with eachother in the press, talk trash about each other at parties (and get overheard), disagree with something happening and try to turn public opinion against it by telling a reporter "off the record". Notice how this reporter said that Mooch was one of the few who had never said anything negative about the President. He gets leaks from staffers all the time.
LBJ knew what he was doing. He had experience. He had brains. He was legendary.

These bozos are in way over their heads and know zero about how to pass legislation. I also believe Johnson knew what was in the legislation he was getting passed. Trump does not have a clue what is in it. Not a clue, and he doesn't really care. Trump and Scaramucci (who just appears to be an enforcer) are two peas in a pod. All style and no substance. He could just as easily work for the Gottis.

Mooch as a nickname doesn't work for me. From now on, I shall refer to him as Scary Spice.
How about Scary Mucus?

maybe the Mooch is really just a short term decoy?

A plant to take the heat off the white by going Nuclear over the course of a week or two. The Mooch comes in spirals and gets the media into a feeding frenzy to distract while the family and friends are testifying..

Problems reading, or understanding?

“I’m not Steve Bannon, I’m not trying to suck my own ****,” he said, speaking of Trump’s chief strategist. “I’m not trying to build my own brand off the ****ing strength of the President. I’m here to serve the country.” (Bannon declined to comment.)

Hmm..if one was to go the 'master plan' route---the transgender kerfuffle and Da Mooch and his pooch show...do take a lot of attention from his various investigations and healthcare.

Kinda like burning down your house to keep people from talking about your impending arrest--house is gone...and the cops just won't go away!

Wow, just when you think this administration can't go any lower, they surprise you.

Incredible the names he called others in his own administration.

Will the excuses keep coming from the Kool Aid Gang?
