Anthony Scaramucci Appreciation Thread - Politics and Economics

Scaramucci also told me that, unlike other senior officials, he had no interest in media attention. “I’m not Steve Bannon, I’m not trying to suck my own cock,” he said, speaking of Trump’s chief strategist. “I’m not trying to build my own brand off the ****ing strength of the President. I’m here to serve the country.” (Bannon declined to comment.)

He channelled Priebus as he spoke: “ ‘Oh, Bill Shine is coming in. Let me leak the ****ing thing and see if I can cock-block these people the way I cock-blocked Scaramucci for six months.’ ” (Priebus did not respond to a request for comment.)

Best part is that Lizza didn't even have to really do anything special. The Mooch initiated the call.

Bannon is gonna try to destroy anyone Mooch has ever cared about. Which is an excellent reason to appreciate Mooch.

Honestly I think it will do the world some good to have america be an utter laughing stock for a few years. Bit of a fun distraction while the real countries get on with important stuff. Bush was a monster (well cheney really) but trump is just a punchline.

It's a shame that our tories have decided to emulate the trumpian shambles rather than joining the real countries.

Yeah this guy delivers. I read him completely wrong at first.

How is it that Trump can't seem to hire anybody who actually reflects well on him? Or at least who didn't bad-mouth the you on national TV at some point during the election?
