I watched it go down in real time last night.

I can’t speak to the actual specifics of the article in terms of conversation.. but it makes sense . Also, he acted nutty this morning too.

He met with Hannity , Bill Shine, and trump last night..and then the melee started.

I saw some reference to a cryptic message about Shine from him..can’t remember where..but using Shine’s name in way about shining the box on leakers or something..I gotta go see if I can find it.

I’m becoming unimpressed with Scaramucci in less than one week. He might want to find the keys to the mens room before he intensifies and pubilcizes these in-house fights, calls his buddy Fredo Cuomo, etc. He ought to just pipe down.

It seems to to me that what Republicans have wanted all along was someone who would actually do something.

Someone who would fight his enemies instead of trying to curry their favor or "reach across the aisle".

I don't find Mooch or Trump obnoxious at all. I find them awesome.

What I find obnoxious as Hell is a party full of lying panty waste faggots who don't do shit else other than lie all damn day long.

That party actually tried as hard as it could to nominate that sweater wearing sissy boy smear on a Depends undergarment above in order to throw the election to Hillary.

Had it. Done.

Please pardon my French.

I watched this go down in real time. It jives with what happened.

Harvard Lawyer didn’t know this wasn’t a leak and thought RP was behind it...until he got schooled on the internet.

You mean you watched the lefties get all in a twitter, in real time on Twitter, over this, last night.

Why join in with the looney lefties, fighting OUR side?

[RummyChick]

Cant find the shine reference. Only thing I can find is a reporter shouting it at him..maybe a reference to Goodfellas.

It seems like it was in reference to things hitting the fan today..leakers he was firing..but I just cant’ remember. I was up late watching all of this go down. Could be totally mis-remembering it.

[RummyChick]

There were several people here watching it and we were trying to figure out IF there was a leak...etc.

the fact is...Scaramucci went nuts.

Wow! Talk about High Octane Fuel. This guy is over the top.
Trump must have known this. He wants a Pit Bull almost off the leash, but Scaramucci has to pace himself. Right now, I doubt if he has any staff loyalty at all except for the president.

You know who I though of immediately?
Rahm Emanuel. Scaramucci is saying the sort of things that Rahm can only hint at in his present role as Mayor of Chicago. They are essentially the same kind of driving, cunning and ruthless person. Useful as a friend, formidable as an adversary.

either it is a candid photo illustrating a real split, or it is high stakes kabuki intended to distract some of the masses from more critical stuff going on somewhere else, such as real policymaking affecting real issues.

to me, the photo has a look of being deliberately staged.

hopefully something important and ultimately beneficial is going on, and in their down time, these guys are having a big guffaw over beers.

...
That is my thinking...saying it isn’t repairable and putting it out in the street like this seems staged.

Anthony Scaramucci, who joined the White House last week and reports directly to the president rather than to the chief of staff, as is customary, said in a CNN interview that he and Chief of Staff Reince Priebus have been at odds “We have had differences.

Had to stop reading at that point.

I would have a problem if CNN told me that the sun would rise in the east tomorrow and sit in the West at the end of daylight.

[RummyChick]

WOW...Rahm...good one..except Rahm understood politics in DC better than Scaramucci.

There is video from this morning when Scaramucci called in while they were interviewing Lizza

Yeah, after reading that interview, it's pretty clear he seems to be the source of these problems.

I appreciate somebody who is a bit combative with the media, but when that carries over to your co-workers, there's a problem. You're no longer a team or a staff, you're a collection of individuals trying not to get stabbed in the back, while trying to stab others in the back.

And these silly little spats are what leads to leaks, as the staff members leak to the media in order to hurt each other.

He said Bannon wants to......there is no way I can write it in a reasonable way.

And he called Reince a paranoid schizophrenic.

There are clearly two camps in the White House, and he just took a flamethrower to the leader of each.

Between this and the skinny repeal fiasco, I think every Republican in office needs to pull a Tillerson and take two weeks off.

Let’s all come back in mid-August and see where things stand. Just shut it all down for a while. Everyone is making horrible decisions.

Draining the swamp is ugly business. Not for the faint of heart.

Exactly! Watched Tammy Bruce on Lou Dobbs show--what a hoot. She thinks this is coordinated after watching Kellyanne on F&F this morning. She referred to those shocked by Scaramucci, "Pearl clutchers".

Time to stand tough. Those weasels being brought to light are going to get ugly.

Scaramucci was hired for exactly this type thing - root out all leakers who produce fodder for those who would destroy Trump and hinder his agenda.

Priebus, left. Scaramucci, right.

That could very well be the case. He seems like the type that Trump would like working for him. He will end up being Trump's chief of staff, although I'm surprised he would go after Bannon like that. Didn't realize Bannon was in Trump's doghouse.
