Did he even officially have the job? I mean, wasn’t he supposed to start work tomorrow?
In any case, selling your company, getting hit with what is going to be a killer tax bill, then a divorce and world-wide humiliation and derision must make for a bummer Monday.
Not at all. Believe me, I understand the challenge to keep track of threads and who posts where. I appreciate that you intended only to draw my attention to the thread in case I had missed it.
I think we need to bring Kremlinologists out of retirement, to assess who’s standing next to who at the May Day Parade. Scaramucci was the idea of Jared & Ivanka, so they’re down; obviously Priebus is out…so who’s ascendant? By default – Bannon?
This is a sad day for those of us who enjoy watching the Trump White House self-destruct. We may have seen the end of surreal press conferences, profane tirades in the media, and – possibly – Trump Tweet Storms. Kelly is not putting up with that shit, and the long-foreseen day when the grownups take over has come.
With partial credit to some rando on Twitter, I propose that the OED adopt scaramucci as a word meaning a period of 10 days. As in, “only four more shopping scaramuccis until Christmas,” or “Officer, I haven’t smoked meth in at least two scaramuccis!”
There is no way in fuck that Trump will take orders from an employee. Don’t worry, the batshit Tweets may slow temporarily, but there’s no way we’ve seen the last of them.
And I further propose that Kelly will have had enough of Trump’s bullshit and not listening to his advice, and will resign to spend time with his parakeet in … 6 weeks time.
