“It’s not even safe to be seen with you,” my lunch companion – a government employee said.. undefined

“Me specifically?”

“No. reporters. Any of you. The guy is on a tear,” I was told.

The ‘guy’ is new White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci. The Mooch made an early impression when he told the New Yorker that Steve Bannon enjoyed sucking himself off in a bizarre late-night phone call. More notably, he’s making a name around the White House by threatening to kill, cripple, fire, loot, pillage and burn any “leakers” in the West Wing. Apparently his wife had enough; she filed for divorce today.

Meanwhile, another one bites the dust in the administration. Latest to go: Reince Priebus. The embattled Chief of Staff was replaced by General Kelly late Friday afternoon. Trump, of course, announced the move in a tweet. Priebus leaves exactly one week after Sean Spicer, becoming the latest RNC stalwart to leave the president as Trump closes ranks.

What does every first term president want? A second term, of course. If the economy is strong, who would vote this guy out?”

3. People keep saying that the "real issues" aren't getting enough attention

Like its insider knowledge instead of Readily Apparent. some of worst horrors are the ones we can't do anything about. We say elections have consequences, right? What did they think we meant?
