Even the soberest Congressmen…
Thank you Anthony @Scaramucci for your service. I speak for a grateful nation when I say “has it really only been 11 days?!?” https://t.co/78ZEWLYrjC

Guys, the real victims here are the Chinese who overpaid for Mooch's company in the hopes of gaining favors.

Scaramucci's *official start date* as WH Communications Director was August 15th.
It's July 31st.
That's gotta be some kind of record.

So technically…Spicer, who isn't resigning til August, has outlasted Mooch

Out of loyalty to Trump, Scaramucci sold his business, lost his wife and missed his child's birth.
And it *still* wasn't enough for Trump.

Nothing really matters… but Moi!…
Just watched The Mooch enter Trump hotel lobby & pause for attention..none. Few steps, pause, pose..none. Few steps, pause, pose… @swin24! pic.twitter.com/QEobd3rZZ5

Poor Tony. Sent to go get his fuckin’ shine box.

Credit where credit is due: Bernie’s standing up for Obama’s Iran deal

Never a dull moment with this Basket of Deplorables.

11 days? Good riddance to bad garbage.

If Bobby Three Sticks finally gets to the point where he trots out all of the evidence regarding the Trump Crime Syndicate (a subsidiary of Putin International Enterprises) and starts showing the GOP just how Trump is leveraged, controlled and the hows and whens laws were violated, what will they do? What happens if all of the suspected dark money is found to have traveled from Russia into the GOP campaign coffers? What happens when Ryan and McConnell are asked how could they sanction treason for any fucking reason?
while I am scared shitless about what this timeline has in store, I still can’t stop watching it unfold…
Do they focus on the blatantly impeachable stuff? perjury and obstruction of justice for those involved (and it seems to be everyone, including sitting members of Congress and the Senate)? Do they use that as an appetizer to root out the entire festering corruption that permeates the GOP?
and I thought I grew up in interesting times with the Nixon presidency….

I hope someone documented the moment when Mooch queued up right behind Priebus in the D.C. unemployment line. Awkward!

@Chet Murthy: He’s afraid of being blackmailed by Trump. So much so he folds before being told to.
Smells bad.

Kellyanne Conway. Stop laughing now.

Everyone’s giving Trump and Kelly too much credit. Mooch wasn’t fired. He quit. I guarantee. His wife has him by the balls in their divorce if he’s in the WH role. He was in position to lose many millions to avoid embarrassing releases that’d hurt the WH and his wife had already started to make it clear how bad it’d be for him with the first couple stories she helped with.
I bet we have Mooch’s wife and her lawyer(s) to thank more than anyone in the White House.

Lewandowski got fired again.

@Zach: don’t think so. The Mooch was EVERY bad Italian stereotype rolled into one sleazy wrapper.
There’s no way with Kelly taking over as CoS that he’d let a mouth like that have unfettered access to the press or drumpf.
Can’t have grima wormtongue undermining your job / influence with president.
Zach
@sukabi: His breakdown didn’t happen until after the divorce news went public. That’s when he started accusing Reince of messing with his family or whatever coke-addled nonsense he was spewing. Zero surprise if he has a substance issue, which is the one thing that’ll get you on the wrong side of Donald Trump.

@Chet Murthy:
Well, there you go, the senator from Vermont is only concerned about adoptions–I mean, Iran! There can be no other possible explanation for his vote, so we should just credulously accept whatever he says as the truth.
tobie
@Chet Murthy: The other signatories to the Iran deal have already said they won’t reimpose sanctions or extend sanctions, so if the US does this unilaterally it won’t hurt Iran as much as it will isolate us. It’s just one more sign of how irrelevant Trump and the GOP have made the US.
FlipYrWhig
@Chyron HR: Also, he only voted against closing Guantanamo because he had wicked concerns about civil liberties in American prisons! He’s always only doing things for just the right reasons, that Bernie.

@FlipYrWhig:
Be fair, that failure and sin are shared pretty much across the whole Senate. All of them who voted against closing Torture Room 101 are damned.
