I want a lot of money. Where do I hire really smart money-makers who are willing to wait for payment until they have made me enough money to pay them ?
OK. What does that have to do with how smart he is? Do sociopaths typically have a problem with their verbiage? Are sociopaths able to hire the proper managers and assistants despite, we must assume, their average to even perhaps lower than average intelligence?
It’s from an on the record interview with the New Yorker. Scaramucci called the reporter to pressure him for the name the source in one of his stories.
The link may be paywalled -sorry-
The little gems previously posted don’t do the story justice. Scaramucci basically told the reporter that if he didn’t reveal his source he would just fire everyone. And he ended, saying (in reference to Reince “Yeah, let me go, though, because I’ve got to start tweeting some shit to make this guy crazy.” The soon to be deleted tweets appeared moments later.
Wonder how Melania’s anti-cyber bullying campaign is going?
I picture an bedroom door with ceiling-to-floor deadbolts, one gaudy chair anchored under its opulent knob. Melania sits gazing into the infinity of a lighted makeup mirror, humming a tuneless monotone. With one trembling hand, she cakes mascara onto the lashes of her left eye, over and over, over and over, over and over…
There seems to be a large percentage of Republicans who are willing to say untrue things, not because they believe them, but because it conveys a certain emotion.
So they probably don’t really really believe he won the popular vote. But saying they believe he won the popular vote is just another way of saying “I support Donald Trump”. Just like saying Obama was born in Kenya was just a way of saying “I oppose Obama”.
You might think it’s better that most of them aren’t literally confused. But it’s almost worse that facts are irrelevant to these people. If they were confused about the facts because they only watched Fox News, then you could show them the correct facts and they’d change their minds. But they aren’t confused. They know the facts and don’t care.
I’m not sure I follow. Do you think that, say, Ted Cruz – a Harvard Law grad who argued Supreme Court cases for the win before getting elected to the Senate – just forgot to “play Trumpalumpa like fiddles”? Do you think it likewise slipped Hillary Clinton’s mind that she could – at will – “play Trumpalumpa like fiddles”? And so on?
Do you believe Trump is only president today because all sorts of folks (a) could easily “play Trumpalumpa like fiddles”, but, (b) oopsie, didn’t think to make him quit?
…do you remember those days when Sean Spicer was the eloquent, restrained, emotionally stable member of this utterly batshit insane administration? Was it less than a week ago? Oh how we miss him. Isn’t it mind-blowing that Spicer was probably the most “relatively normal” person in this clusterfuck?
After a few days with Scaramucchi, Spicer’s resignation makes complete and utter sense. The guy is bat-shit insane. He’s a young version of Trump without the filter and completely emboldened and on a power trip.
