I can’t keep up.
I have NEVER started an “Obsession” post a week before its publication date.
Ever.
But the hits just keep on coming. So – it’s bonus “Obsession” time.
First, it’s:
Anthony Scaramucci RESIGNS as White House Communications Director

07.31.17 Anthony Scaramucci RESIGNS as White House Communications Director Comes less than a week after hiring
JULY 31, 2017 Washington, DC (ABC/WBEN) Anthony Scaramucci resigns as White House Communications Director.
This comes the same day John Kelly was sworn in as Chief of Staff. Sources tell ABC Scaramucci resigned, asking to be redeployed at the Export Import Bank as chief strategy officer.
Scaramucci had not been on the job less than a week. It may be most memorable for an expletive-laden conversation with a New Yorker reporter that disparaged other members of the Trump team.
Then, it’s :
Trump Removes Anthony Scaramucci From Communications Director Role
The New York Times ^ | July 31, 2017 | By MAGGIE HABERMAN, MICHAEL D. SHEAR and GLENN THRUSHPosted on 7/31/2017, 1:44:17 PM by abb
WASHINGTON — President Trump has decided to remove Anthony Scaramucci from his position as communications director, three people close to the decision said Monday, relieving him just days after Mr. Scaramucci unloaded a crude verbal tirade against other senior members of the president’s senior staff.
The decision to remove Mr. Scaramucci, who had boasted about reporting directly to the president not the chief of staff, John F. Kelly, came at Mr. Kelly’s request, the people said. Mr. Kelly made clear to members of the White House staff at a meeting Monday morning that he is in charge.
Well, WHICH IS IT?? Did the mooch resign, was he fired by Kelly, or was he shitcanned by The Darnold?
This news hit Freeperville like a string of firecrackers being tossed into an Open Carry demonstration.
Click the linky thingy for the fireworks.

It was a bold strategy from the Trump – bring in the Mooch to smoke out the traitors and Fire Reince.
He completed it in 10 days and leaves with his job completed and head held high

Scaramucci was a loose cannon. Kelly is imposing Marine discipline and Scaramucci would never survive

Ugh. Stupid Kelly. I am telling you that this is a huge mistake. Scaramucci has been a godsend for the White House. Oh well I guess they will just fall all over themselves letting the press win. No fighters but trump now.

Maybe the “fake news” ain’t so fake after all.
I’ve heard and read of major problems in the admin, didn’t believe them. Until today, that is.

To: tellwIs there anything positive going on in the White House?Are regulations being removed?
Just the ones that protect us.
Are Federal agencies being cut?
I hear there’s an entirely new agency being created just to find new jobs for fired WH staffers, so there’s that.
Are taxes being cut?
Just The Darnold’s.
Is Obamacare being eliminated?
You don’t get out much, do you?
Is the military being strengthened?
If by “strengthened” you mean “forced to take planes and tanks they don’t want or need”, definitely.
Who recommended these characters for WH positions?
That would be The Darnold.
This chaos is seriously

To: Jonny7797Although I loved his no BS approach, he was a bit raunchy.There’s enough of that with Trump himself, he doesn’t need a mini-me.
Well golly. You post evidence suggesting that all is not happytimes in Freeperstan one day, and the very next day the evidence of voter’s remorse just piles up. It’s like these Freeper guys read your posts Tommy.
How much longer until these worms actually turn? If he isn’t already, JROB is gonna be mighty busy soon zotting the discontents before finally doing the math on the loss in Freepathon revenue.
JimRob could make his godforsaken website totally self-sustaining with the ad revenue and a cut of each sale for cervical collars. The whiplash induced by the sudden reversals the Trump administration specializes in could make him a fortune.
I salute the invaluable service of capturing the initial confusion that ensues for these dimbulbs whenever they don’t know what to think for themselves. “Wait; I thought we loved the Mooch because he said naughty words; now we don’t like him or naughty words?”
