1. Just reported on MSNBC.

What a bunch of hapless assholes.

[ReformedGOPer]

2. Well that didn't take long.

[marybourg]

3. Whaaa...?

[Zoonart]

4. Deep!

Moochie, we hardly knew ye.

[trof]

33. I KNOW! He was kind of a cute lil' guy.

All spunky and everything.

[Kali]

5. holy shit

chaos management isn't the way to run a government

[gademocrat7]

6. Oh my

His tenure is even shorter than Spicey's.

[TeamPooka]

7. Do we get Spicey back?

[samnsara]

12. i was just wondering that same thing..stay tuned to next weeks episode...

[christx30]

15. Episode, as in psychotic episode?

I actually prefer act, as in circus act. But your way sounds good too.

[TeamPooka]

24. Smooch The Mooch and kiss him goodbye.

[Ghost of Tom Joad]

47. Reminds me of the Robin Williams film

Death to Smoochy

[jmowreader]

37. Come on. If you were Spicer, would you come back?

[Lil Missy]

39. Not if Spicy has any dignity whatsoever left.

Wait, ... Wut?

[kimbutgar]

8. Mario cantone must be so upset about this!

He did a great scaramucci on the Presidents show and was on the view on Friday. saying this is a role he will relish playing.

I feel more sorry for Mario than scaramucci!

[Plucketeer]

9. LOL! Anyone got a source for scorecards?

I really need one to keep up!

[FakeNoose]

10. If this is true, I'm guessing Bannon got rid of him

Can't have 2 alpha males working in the same office.

[moonscape]

28. Naw - he tried to keep him from coming in and failed - it was undoubtedly Kelly n/t

[patricia92243]

11. Well shucks! I was looking forward to seeing him portrayed on SNL.

[samnsara]

13. me too!!!!!!!

[Amimnoch]

23. ROFL! I'd just posted the same reply below!

Didn't see yours until after I'd posted. The writers at SNL must have one of the easiest jobs on the planet at the moment. The skits practically write themselves with this administration.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

14. Duplicate thread. Changing your sources does not make it immune from locking.

17. Geeze. I just thought I was a little slow.

Not that I was doing something sinister.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

20. Nobody accused you of doing anything sinister.

Simply, when you see the stop sign when posting, look around at the LBN and at the Home Page LBN column.

[3_Limes]

27. ???

"Stop sign"?

And - you accused me of "changing my sources". not sure I follow you. What change did I make? Source of what?

[Bernardo de La Paz]

35. Stop sign in the posting process. And sorry, I was confused on one point. . . . nt

The stop sign is the warning you see (with a picture of a stop sign) when you go to write your post. It warns you to check to see if the story has already been posted in LBN by someone else.

It doesn't matter if the source of the story is different (like NBC for the first, and CBS for the second). As far as "changing", I think that was my error, for which I apologize. I saw the NYT in your title and then saw TPM in your thread body when I went to make the reply. So I thought you had first posted an NYT article and then changed it to TPM. Sorry.

[MyNameGoesHere]

36. You didn't accuse but you came in like a tin of bricks

Perhaps a message in private would have made it seem like your concerned about board etiquette and not just forum shaming someone.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

46. Oh, relax. That's overly sensitive. The stop sign is very obvious to everyone who posts.

Secondly, when stating facts briefly, it may appear to some to be "heavy", but it's just facts.

1) It was a duplicate.

2) The link to the duplicate was given. Thus people can follow to the original which will NOT be locked and the discussion can proceed there and not become blocked part way through.

3) Read the stop sign to avoid the problem entirely. It's in red borders. It has a picture of a stop sign. It explains the whole deal. It even lists the last FIVE threads posted right there.

4) It is LBN forum policy that a different source is not a different story. So I stated that.

I have already apologized to the poster about my mistake about "changed".

It is so simple to avoid this whole problem:

1) Compose your post first.

2) Look before you post.

3) Look again after posting in case another poster was first. If that happened, simply self-delete the duplicate post.

[samnsara]

16. was he even on the pay roll yet? does he get any severence pay?

..so many questions! we want to know!

[Doc Coco]

18. Next #2!!!!

Trump is scheduled to fire the next #2 on 8/9/17.

[tammywammy]

19. He wasn't even starting until 15 August.

Bwahahahahahahahahahahaha

[VMA131Marine]

21. The fun thing will be ...

keeping track of all the idiots (Giuliani for one) who said that Scaramucci was a perfect fit for Trump, even after his profanity laden interview, who now completely disavow him.

[Amimnoch]

22. But..but..but.. SNL didn't even get a chance to do a moochi yet..

Damn, I was really hoping to see who SNL would get for him in September.

[gilbert sullivan]

25. Has anyone heard what tune they're playing for the musical chairs over there?

Must be something in allegro tempo...

[Kleveland]

56. I think that the tune must be "Pop goes the weasel"!

Certainly suits the Mooch, a weasel by any other name...

I'll need to work on a parody of the original words.

[stopbush]

26. Like everyone who comes into tRump's orbit, he has been humiliated

and denigrated.

Think about it: 11 days ago, he and his wife were expecting their third child. Today, he couldn't bother to attend the birth, his wife is divorcing him and his bromance with the Orange Asshole is over.

[brush]

31. He had a horrendous week and a half. Wouldn't want to be him.

Wife gone, child gone, job gone, company gone, job prospects just about nil.

[onetexan]

43. his fault, let his mouth & ego ruin him

serves him right, guy's a shmuck

[brush]

51. Yes he is.

[stopbush]

44. He's a RW asskisser with TV pundit experience.

He will end up with a high-paying job somewhere in the RWNM. The new job will probably come with a new trophy wife as well.

[brush]

53. We'll see. Not too many women want a man who can't be bothered to show at the birty of his child.

[MFM008]

29. Someone flushed???

..........

[LittleGirl]

30. OMG, this is hysterical!

His b.s. made me cringe as an Italian-American. Or rather American with Italian roots.
I hate his type. Just like #45.

[Sneederbunk]

32. Can't do the Fandango.

[Sunlei]

34. NBC broke in. trump used him to kick out the republican & then done-booted his ass out.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

38. Used. Trump has no loyalty. . . . nt

[onetexan]

40. You nailed it, he doesn't

Here's the WAPO article:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2017/07/31/anthony-scaramucci-removed-as-white-house-communications-director/?hpid=hp_hp-top-table-main_pp-scaramucci-300pm%3Ahomepage%2Fstory&utm_term=.3be8c213a054

[Sunlei]

55. that was trumps revenge on moochie. bonus was trump wanted to get rid of (R)ince P.

billionaire moochie 'insulted' trump several times over the past couple years.

[Flaleftist]

41. And he's gone

[Tracer]

42. When Kelly was appointed,

all the pontificators on MSNBC were saying that if Kelly didn't get Mooch fired, then he'd be impotent as Chief of Staff.

Guess he's trying not to be.

[MiniMe]

45. I don't think he was officially hired

Good for Kelly for showing some backbone

[vkkv]

48. DUPLICATE THREAD / NEWS - PLEASE DELETE BEFORE IT IS DELETED - THANKS

[MontanaMama]

49. I wonder what Kelly had to say to 45

to get this done? Another thought, whenever this kind of crap goes down in the WH, I'm suspicious that we're being distracted from something horrible happening behind the curtain.

[ProgressiveValue]

50. Didn't his wife say she ended the marriage because he wanted,

, to be next to Trump so badly? I wonder if he thinks 10 days was worth throwing it all away and ignoring the birth of his child?

[turbinetree]

52. So the new white house "subordinate" has thrown the flanking maneuver out to fool everyone

while they still have a leader that is just as stupid sexual predator as he always has been, with same f*cking agenda, and now the corporate media is going to be swooning over this for the next two weeks or days and say see he is going to stop the infighting and other BS--------------------right, and I got Treason cases that will not go away even if they play musical chairs

[Flaleftist]

54. .

[chelsea0011]

57. One well oiled machine it is..............

[muriel_volestrangler]

58. Locking - duplicate thread
