As a ‘friend’ is quoted in the article: “I don’t know who Deidre thought she was marrying but anyone who knows Anthony knows he’s an ambitious man.” There is _ambition_, and there is performing a complete 180[sup]o[/sup] on your previously expressed beliefs and values in support of that ambition. I can well imagine that his wife would question the sort of man she married, and walk away. ---

My name is **Spice Weasel** and I am a recovering Facebook-a-holic. I am approximately 11 months sober. Despite the occasional, ‘‘Ooooh, I’d really like to post this article’’ moment or ‘‘Wow, if only I could share this probably-not-as-brilliant-as-I-think-it-is idea’’ my commitment to complete abstinence is a choice I do not regret. What I learned, if I learned anything at all, is that those people are not my friends. The ones who actually are my friends I am still in contact with on a regular basis. The ones I thought I could never live without… I am living without them just fine. Also internet media is an extremely fucked up echo chamber reinforced by people telling themselves and everyone they know what they all want to hear, driven by an engine of recreational outrage and insecurity. Once you see it, you can’t unsee it. ---

I’m sure others have made this point but what I’m seeing is Anthony Scaramucci is a Trump mini-me. The Mooch looks at the Donald and says _“That’s what I want to be when I grow up.”_ I don’t see it working out well for Scaramucci. I’m sure when Trump first met Scaramucci he was thinking _“This guy reminds me of me. And I love me.”_ But Trump is going to discover what the rest of us already know; being around Donald Trump is really unpleasant. Trump loves himself but he’s not going to love somebody who’s just like him but isn’t him. I don’t see this working out well for anyone else either. It’s bad enough to have one Donald Trump running around loose. Having a Trump and a half running around is worse. ---

I think the assholery of DC compares very, very favorably to the assholery of Wall Street, IMHO, with the notable exception of a certain colorless residence in the middle of our city. Oh, that’s what she was talking about. I get it. ---
