Sean Spicer stole a mini-fridge from White House staffers. #PardonSpicey #GrandTheftMiniFridge
Sean Spicer stole a mini-fridge from White House staffers
http://www.rawstory.com/2017/07/sean-spicer-stole-a-mini-fridge-from-white-house-staffers/
Unfortunately, Spicer went about procuring a fridge in a manner that could best be described as ill-advised. A Wall Street Journal report detailed the long and winding road to Spicer's high-profile resignation Friday and began with an anecdote that showed the press secretary hatching a plan to steal a fridge from junior staffers.
Wrote Michael C. Bender of the Journal: "[Spicer] dispatched a top aide to a nearby executive office building where junior research employees are crammed into a room, surviving on Lean Cuisine frozen lunches. Mr. Spicer wants your icebox, the aide said, according to people familiar with the incident. They refused to give it up."
Now, here is the moment Spicer could have shifted gears. It's already (as the kids say) a bad look to demand the workers underneath you give up their icebox. Kudos to them for turning down a senior staffer. But Spicer wasn't satisfied. There is a Walmart about 1.5 miles from the White House where the press secretary could have bought a mini-fridge (for as little as $60!). Instead he waited. Then he pounced.
Wrote Bender in the Journal: "So Mr. Spicer waited until sundownafter his young staffers had leftto take matters into his own hands. He was spotted by a fellow White House official lugging the icebox down the White House driveway after 8 p.m."

Tony the Mooch risking carpal tunnel syndrome from repeatedly hammering delete key on Twitter
New Trump comm head Scaramucci admits hes deleting tweets critical of president in the name of transparency
Switching from alternative facts to alternative history, new White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci admitted on Saturday that he is deleting personal tweets that are critical of President Trump and some of his policies
According to Scaramucci, he is doing so for transparency and because his views have suddenly evolved after landing the White House gig.
Writing on Twitter, Scaramucci stated, Full transparency: Im deleting old tweets. Past views evolved & shouldnt be a distraction. I serve @POTUS agenda & thats all that matters.
Along with tweets advocating for tougher gun control, Scaramucci also took some shots at Trump over the years (see below) and climate change deniers:

Add Beauregard to the pardons list, unless he refuses un-recuse himself and fire Mueller. Sad!
This shit just keeps getting deeper and deeper.

Friday News Chump Dump: Bye, Melissa...er, I mean, "Sean." It's been real.
Just remember that the fall began the minute a woman did her impression of you on SNL, because in Trump's world, women are meant to be seen but not heard (but groping is OK).
PLEASE STOP WINNING SO MUCH!!!
