Scaramucci Banned from White House

Anthony Scaramucci, President Donald Trump’s former communications director, is on a list of people blocked from entering the White House without special approval.

A day after saying he wasn’t blocked, a White House official confirmed that Scaramucci is indeed among fired officials excluded from the campus. The acknowledgment came after the financier provided to Bloomberg News official White House correspondence that confirmed he was denied an appointment.

Scaramucci is among a group of former staffers who left “under adverse circumstances” placed on an "administrative exclusion list," the White House said in response to Bloomberg’s questions. Those former employees must have any appointments on the premises "evaluated on a case by case basis."

Scaramucci provided emails indicating he had been denied access to the complex to counter a White House official’s assertion Thursday that his claim of being blacklisted from the building was false. At the time, the official - who requested anonymity to discuss personnel matters - said Scaramucci was treated the same as any former staffer and would be granted access if he had legitimate, official business.

I've been hoping against hope that pResident Shithole would come to his senses (or lack thereof) and reinstate The Mooch as his official spokes-whore.

After listening to the dronings of people like Sean Spicer and Huckleberry Sanders, I can't help but imagine how entertaining daily press briefings would be if delivered by Goodfellas wannabe Scaramucci.

It's not like we get the truth out of this WH anyway - so why not be treated to hearing the endless string of lies presented by a guy who always looks like he just came back from burying a Trump detractor in an abandoned field in New Jersey?

The Mooch is the perfect representative of a "pResident" who, if he had his druthers, would happily plant a horse's head in Jeff Sessions' bed.

The Mooch has already perfected the demeanour of a "made man", the "you can't touch me" attitude of Henry Hill, and the arrogance of "they'll never prove it" John Gotti.

Come on, guys - wouldn't you rather have your daily lies delivered by someone who is at least a laugh-inducing caricature of someone who believes he's the ultimate "insider", instead of a school marm hoping to give a reporter detention for chewing gum during briefing class?

Title is something like: How our marriage survived 11 days in the Trump Administration.

Maybe they got back together. I remember reading she was pregnant, so maybe for the child?

10. I think they did separate for a while. IIRC, when she gave birth, he sent her a congratulatory text.

Watta guy!! She was not a fan of Trump and hated the way he was sucking up and worshipping him. I'm not sure when they separated but I got the feeling when I saw the preview for the upcoming show that it was his adoration and dogged pursuance of a job with Trump that pushed her over the edge (or did I read that at the time?) . I'm not sure if I have my timing or facts straight here but when I saw that he was going to be on Dr Phil all I could think of was: The clash of male egos.
