I'm completely overjoyed by Trump's decision to ban transgender from serving in the military. He exceeded my expectation and prove himself a man of sound judgment. Sadly the military has not approved of his decision.

BTW: See my clarification of my response to SamBRo earlier in this thread.
Quote:I got the sense that Scaramucci’s campaign against leakers flows from his intense loyalty to Trump. Unlike other Trump advisers, I’ve never heard him say a bad word about the President. “What I want to do is I want to fucking kill all the leakers and I want to get the President’s agenda on track so we can succeed for the American people,” he told me.
That Moochy dude looks like he's a sort of sociopath that just wants to get a job done. No ideology. Just Will to Power. He has some dubious ties (including to Hillary) and is another global warming shill as well. Or most likely pretends to be whatever he needs in order to get to where he wants to get. Gotta be careful with these sharks, though they can be mightily useful.

^ Distraction.

^ By the waayyyy = what the post is really about. Did everyone see? Did everyone see that I was right? And SamBro was wrong? Did you ALL NOTICE?
Why didn't you break down his four sentence post into 15 different quote bubbles and refute them individually, regardless of whether that destroyed the context of the overall post and made it virtually impossible for someone to reply with quotes of their own?

That's exactly what he is. I personally like him and think he'll do a great job, but I can understand the apprehension of some given his past statements. I've always had CNBC or Bloomberg on in the background so I've seen a fair bit of him on TV over the years and my impression was always that he always gave the Wall St. line which is maintain the status quo in order to keep the churn flowing. Seemed like a nice guy though.
He became a bit infamous for trying to suck up to Obama at some town hall thing back in 2009 or 2010 before asking Obama to tone down the anti-Wall St. rhetoric, and Obama punked him for it. But he always had to ingratiate himself to the elites because they were the source of money for his fund. He even admitted in a BBC interview yesterday or the day before that he spent 30 years of his career trying to get into the global elite.
His story is that Trump woke him up. Make of that what you will, but he has been an advising Trump for over a year now. The most cynical view of him is that he realized that his lust for power was only going so far in the current order, and the real elites would always see him as little more than a nouveau riche errand boy from Long Island. Thus getting in at the ground floor of the Trumpening might elevate his station far higher than he could have sucking up to the Davos crew.
Or, he really just did see the light. Regardless, his role right now is to get the comms team on track, and won't be near policy. And so far he's been good in the few clips I've seen of him here an there and he seems to be moving his weight around staff wise. We'll know more as time goes on but I don't see him as some sort of globalist mole.
Scaramucci did not dispute the reported call, in which he described White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus as a “fu**ing paranoid schizophrenic, a paranoiac,” who tried to “c**kblock” him from the White House. He added that he was not seeking the media spotlight, like White House Chief Strategist Steve Bannon, whom he implied was “trying to suck [his] own c**k.”
During his first press conference on Friday, Scaramucci was more flattering to Priebus, saying he was “a dear friend,” that they were like “brothers,” and that he also had a “huge, enormous amount of respect” for Bannon.

Uhhhhh.....
Yes, your last comment is going to be the media's as well. God forbid! A guy who says different things in private to what he says in public! We have never seen such a thing in the history of politics!
Expected, worn out response. In the rest of the news piece we can see just how coherent the dude is, says he's more of a "front stabber" than a backstabber since he's from Wallstreet and what not. One must be very careful with these wild dogs. Their loyalty lies only in success, power, money and notoriety. Hope he does a good job but his business card does not exactly exude trustworthy.
I'm sure he had no idea that his call to a reporter was being recorded, and would make front page news. Poor naive, Scaramucci, he's like a lamb before wolves before these savvy, brilliant, New Yorker reporters. His reputation for trustworthiness is doubtless irreparably damaged now, and with that, any hope of making America great again is lost forever.
Or, you know, he's a savvy billionaire who's spent his whole life around the media, who enjoys making the press his bitch, and winding them up like little dolls to make them talk about whatever he wants to talk about.
One of the two.

Lets use PC as a weapon.
The Canadian Forces are way ahead of you.
IS so great to virtue signal when somebody else is paying and maintaining the defense of your country, does Canadians forget the only reason they have not been invaded by Russia is because they have a border with the biggest military in the world? same thing with Europeans, they love to trash USA for spending so much money in defense, yet is USA that is covering defense for them.

Notable staff members = Steven Levy, Sabrina Erderly Rubin, Joe Klein, Annie Leibowitz, Eric Ehrmann, etc. And most importantly, co-founder (((Jann Wenner))).
Scaramucci in a few days I think has gained more fans in the base than Bannon, Conway, Miller, Lewandowski, Pence, Katrina, Ivanka, Don Jr. and Spicer combined since June 2015.

((( Rat Priebus ))) said it a long time ago.
This guy is hilarious. He is like a character from Sopranos.
