Anthony Scaramucci out as White House communications director after 11 days

[Swordsmyth]

White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci has been removed from his position after just 11 days on the job, according to multiple reports.
Scaramucci accepted the position on July 21, shortly after the abrupt departure of White House press secretary Sean Spicer (https://www.yahoo.com/news/sean-spicer-resigned-white-house-press-secretary-161152671.html). He made headlines less than a week after assuming the post with a profane interview with The New Yorker (https://www.yahoo.com/news/anthony-scaramucci-gave-profanity-laced-interview-trashing-priebus-bannon-225201081.html)in which he insulted members of the White House staff, including now former Chief of Staff Reince Priebus.
Priebus left his role suddenly on Friday, and was replaced Monday morning by retired four-star general John Kelly, who had been serving as Trump’s secretary of homeland security.
“Anthony Scaramucci will be leaving his role as White House Communications Director,” said White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders in a statement. “Mr. Scaramucci felt it was best to give Chief of Staff John Kelly a clean slate and the ability to build his own team. We wish him all the best.”

[Schifference]

Any person accepting a job for Trump or his administration had best not presently be employed.

[dannno]

That was dumb.

The Mooch had a positive influence on his communications team, he finally got Trump to tweet out about the Awan Bros. Things were moving in the right direction - he was starting to get rid of the leakers..


You want to know the big irony here? Kelly's decision to get rid of Mooch got leaked to the media, lol!!! Good Job Kelly.

[goldenequity]

What we're watching is very obvious. 2 me anyway...
It's no longer Red v Blue or ANYTHING political/civilian now
(like Scaramucci - he's a civilian casualty... like in war: They are just 'in the way'.)

EVERYTHING from here on is beltway warfare: CIA v Pentagon (we saw it play out literally in Syria.)
Trump had to choose 1 and only 1. He did.
Next up: Gutting the State Department. It will be done w/ military precision.
It's war.

Both are utterly corrupt and vile/filthy above the rank & file.
I'm hoping they destroy each other... watch for 'body counts' to rise.

[oyarde]

General dumped him . Wonder why ?

[ILUVRP]

kelly is the best person in the white house , i don't know how long trumps people/family will let him stay , mucci was a bozo and a person kelly would never want to be around .

[rpfocus]

This is too funny. You'd have to be an IDIOT to hire Mooch as your "communications director." Oh well, who's next Oh Great Orange One?

Ya, it's really dumb to bring someone in who is actually familiar with new media and not playing the old dinosaur media game which is retarded and they can only talk about Russia bullshit.. ya.. it's really dumb to bring someone in who is going to get rid of the leakers who are trying to destroy your Presidency.

Because we can't have a communications director who swears...

Do you need me to get you some smelling salts?

[dannno]

only a idiot would appoint mucci , only a idiot would let mucci stay , kelly is not a idiot .

Yes, getting rid of the Mooch was so intelligent.. Because Mooch didn't have to sell a billion dollar business to join the Trump admin, he didn't take any risks, he didn't have anything better to do, he didn't have a wife and a family to support and try and keep together.. He was just there because he had all this free time laying around, and so the fact that had nothing to put on the line and got fired 11 days later is really not a big deal. I'm sure this will convince a lot of talented people who have things going for them to join the Trump administration, because I know if I had a lot going for me and was talented and was asked to join the Trump administration I would TOTALLY do it now, because I know Trump would have my back..

/sarc


Weren't you one of those people who believed the mainstream media when they said Trump was going to lose the general election when there were people here including me telling you the opposite? You know, it's ok to listen to people who are right once in a while, and you yourself be right, once in a while. You don't have to be wrong all the time.

I mean, fuck man, I guess the only people who will want to join the Trump admin now are swamp stuffers, yes men and fucking losers who have nothing going for them, but I guess according to you that is a good thing.

[Schifference]

Trump has a ways to go before he fires more admin staff than the Clinton death toll.

I thought Syria was about Obama being called out by antiwar factions and simply realized he didn't have the political capital to intervene. What's your take? Also, which did Trump "choose?" Also, why is Trump "filthy" in this regard? Seems like dismantling a full MIC department or two would be an overall good thing? Thanks. I'm interested in your points of view.

There were 3 primary components to the 'enemy' : ISIS, FSA (Turk) jihaddis and SDF jihaddis (Anti-Assad mercs)
There were many faux (and real) battles between these factions as they fought each other

You cant really find this information.
GoldenEquity is a lot like George Webb of youtube, you would have to watch hours and hours of videos to start ot understand the scope of the Awan brothers scandal that Webb was uncovering, to know why people are overjoyed that an Awan brotehr was arrested.

Likewise, Goldenequitie's posts are full of details that most gloss over. I gloss over many, mostly because I watch Southfront on youtube every day, and read RT (RT has relevant headlines, unlike American MSM which just ignores tons of important geopolitical stories).

It is a valid theory.
You say he had to. I have said he is choosing military officers for a reason as well. Why do you think he chose the pentagon, or had to choose the pentagon?

I think so, too. During the hearings, it was clear he had a better grasp on the players and how they connect than the Senate committee did. He attached meaning to all the relationships. Very sharply focused mind.

Rand said he would vote for Trump to favor the Republican party since he was their candidate. Doesn't mean he likes him- just recognizes that he won the party nomination and the Presidency and he has to deal with him. Ron Paul said he could never vote for Trump and warned that he was anti- Libertarian.

Ron Paul calls Donald Trump a ‘dangerous’ authoritarian: ‘The opposite of a Libertarian’


Former Republican Rep. Ron Paul on Wednesday blasted GOP presidential hopeful Donald Trump as a “dangerous” authoritarian on a power trip who won’t value civil liberties the way a U.S. president should.

“I think he’s is a dangerous person,” saidMr. Paul, whose son, Sen. Rand Paul is running against Mr. Trump for the Republican presidential nomination.

“And a lot of people find him sort of funny, and love him, even Libertarian types,” Mr. Paul, who is now a registered Libertarian, lamented on Fox News Radio. “They like him because he’s so disruptive to the party system, and I enjoy that too. But I think he’s a man that if conditions deteriorate, which they can — see I work on the assumption that the world is no more stable than Greece, and if those conditions come, people want to be told what to do: ‘And I know what the answer is, and I’ll do this, and I am the man to this.’

“And [Mr. Trump] comes across this very well, and people listen to him, and I believe he may be raising white horses someplace and he’s going to ride in,” Mr. Paul continued. “Because he is almost the opposite of a Libertarian, because it’s not like ‘I want to give you your freedom and your liberty to run your life as you choose. Your civil liberties are absolutely yours, you can’t hurt anybody, it’s your own money you can spend it any way you want.’ But he sounds like the person, ‘I know the answers and I’m going to do this and I’ve done this, I’ve done this, this and this.’”


Rand: http://www.politico.com/story/2016/01/rand-paul-would-support-trump-217710


He also said the reason he would support Trump is that establishment Republicans did the same thing when he won the Republican nomination for Senate in Kentucky. "That's the way party politics work, is people come around and support the nominee. But we're a long way away from that," Paul said.

The comment is in contrast with the nasty relations between Paul and the billionaire businessman. Paul was one of the earliest and most direct critics of Trump as polls showed him rising to the top of the Republican presidential field.

To be fair, MAGA himself has supported Obama/Clinton in the past.
