IF you can believe ABC maybe he was just brought in to get rid of Priebus...

Could be he doesn't want to be involved in what is about to come down the road later in August...

But he did sell his company holdings, so this makes me wonder if ABC isn't just All About Crap ramblings...never know...when I hear it on twitter from Our President, then I'll believe it, until then...

“Could be he doesn’t want to be involved in what is about to come down the road later in August...”

And maybe Moochie asked to be relieved because of his wife’s filing for divorce because he took the job.

Maybe he didn’t want to answer to the General.

Could be, or like other posts are saying: “General Kelly said he was in charge” and Mooch didn’t like that...

Well, well, well...taking over the media narrative again, and they will be chasing their tails on this one...

The White House is turning into a short term vacation rental.

The Mooch just learned not to write a check with his mouth that his rear end can’t cash.

Well, the reign of Scaramucci was remarkably sort-lived.

The Game of Thornes is on at the White House. And who will get the “thorne” next?

Because people seem to be getting stuck all the time.

Not to criticize the Trump Administration or anything, but it is starting to look like the “Gang the Couldn’t Shoot Straight”.

Let us not make Lindsey Graham’s prediction come true, that Trump, or somebody high up in his circle of advisers, will make some blunder so egregious, so clumsy, that there shall be no choice but to somehow remove Trump from office.

This is not the Nixon White House. There is going to have to be something a lot more substantial than a White House shuffle.

Too many trying to be the Alpha wolf.

>> This is not the Nixon White House <<

No, but there are some eery similarities, like giving too much responsibility to relatively young aides, like Haldeman and Erlichman, who lacked experience navigating the treacharous shoals of DC’s media-bureaucracy-congressional complex.

More to the point, I think that if Nixon had been depending on an older and more seasoned Chief of Staff — somebody who had the gravitas and guts to tell him “no” once in a while — maybe he could have avoided the disaster of Watergate.

Scaramucci's personal life deserves time to mend. Apparently the Scaramucci's are not of the same mold as the union between politically polar opposites, Mary Matelin and James Carville. I hope they find the strength and will to mend familial fences.

Trump likely prepared with a qualified, less impaired individual to fill this important position.

Mooch was a loser leaker. I respect his fight and thought he did a better job on the Sunday shows than Spicer, but he was an amateur and his leak/rant to Ryan Lizza was stupid and unforgivable.

Is there anything positive going on in the White House?

Are regulations being removed?

Are Federal agencies being cut?

Are taxes being cut?

Is Obamacare being eliminated?

Is the military being strengthened?

Who recommended these characters for WH positions?

This chaos is seriously disturbing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
