Anthony Scaramucci, the short-lived White House communications director-turned-Trump-critic, hinted Friday at the possibility of an October surprise.
“Sometime by Mid-October you’ll see a deluge of ex-officials in the Trump Administration speaking out about his lack of fitness to be President of the United States,†Scaramucci said on The Issue Is:, California’s only statewide political program, presented by Los Angeles FOX affiliate KTTV. (Full disclosure: the author was on the panel discussion when Scaramucci made his prediction.)
Host Elex Michaelson asked the panelists, who also included Seema Mehta of the Los Angeles Times, to react to the Atlantic story from the week before that claimed President Donald Trump had disparaged soldiers who died in World War One.
“I believe those people,†Scaramucci said, claiming that he believed other people would emerge to corroborate the Atlantic account.

Trump sure knew how to pick his administration people...

We all know the interview that finally got Scaramucci fired after 11 days on the job. It's here if anyone wants to revisit it:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=70W2kixYubA (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=70W2kixYubA) Warning: Hide the kids; very graphic language.
But that wasn't his first misadventure. This was:
Anthony Scaramucci's Very First Insane Meltdown
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=slWL9TpsYBY (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=slWL9TpsYBY)
Let's hope the little man's 15 minutes of fame are almost up and this useful idiot will finally be shunned.

That comment ignores the reality faced by the incoming Trump administration. Trump was an outsider who had no political connections in DC to lean on for selecting administration personnel. He inherited a nest of establishment vipers at the beginning until he began forming his own connections and trusted relationships.
Cheap shot, dude. That’s all Trump’s critics have are cheap shots.

LOL...
It's never Trump's fault. He only picks the best - his own words.
That was a real swamp cleaning over the last 4 years...

Know yourself (then you will know both your friends as well as enemies.)
Trump knows nothing because learning requires reflection but that interferes
w/his chronic and compulsive tweeting/yapping.
Were his Fan Club serious, they would have called him out on this grave
shortcoming long ago which would have done him a huge favor.
Instead they make incessant excuses for him, reinforcing his attitude and behavior
while castigating his critics. Predictable

So, someone campaigning for President should use a humble approach. Such as, “Vote for me, I’ll try to do a good job.â€
Uh, I don’t think that works for most voters.

For me truth is what matters.
That's always a good place to start.
I'm not into the "art of the deal" con jobs.

Why bother.
-
Why bother.
You can't have it both ways.
He's responsible for his picks. No one else. And if he didn't have the major pieces of his organization worked out before running he was unprepared for the job. It takes a dedicated team to move the ball in Washington. And yet virtually all his key picks were deep swamp creatures from the start. The very people he said he campaigned against.

We all realize he made staffing mistakes. Probably more than have other presidents. Which is understandable, at least to me. He ain't from DC.
I'm wondering why some feel it necessary to harp on it. Especially now. Do you think this somehow helps?

Because there are real consequences to all this crap. The chips are down and we're now stuck with this seriously flawed individual at the helm and it didn't have to be this way. Stuck with a choice between blowing one's brains out with Biden or taking one's leg off with Trump. Character matters no matter how many times it is claimed it doesn't. We're spending ourselves into oblivion with either choice while everything is falling apart around us. Yet we are determined to keep doing the same thing expecting a different result.

999yawn There are R Never-Trumpers? 999yawn Who knew? 999yawn

So your paramount concern is making sure everyone knows you were right.
I still disagree.

The point is stop doing this shit.
Have the courage to vote for someone with character and principles you share instead of the lesser evil. The lesser evil is still the wrong direction.

I'm happy with the job Trump has done.

I'm happy with the job Trump has done.
I'm not. The government spending is completely out of control and getting worse. It requires leadership. We have none.

So you think that Biden has chacater and princicples? I also saw the clowns running on the Losertarian Party ticket.
-

I agree with you on that. So you think that Biden is going to be better?
-
I'm not. The government spending is completely out of control and getting worse.
What about: Borders? Taxes? Employment? Fair Trade? Endless wars? Federal Courts? Military readiness? Abortion? School Choice? Merit-based immigration?
Have you any interest in even one of these issues pointing-up @DB At all?
-
I agree with you on that. So you think that Biden is going to be better?
No I don't.
We have to do better period.
-
No I don't.
We have to do better period.
If we live in a perfect world, I get it But we don't. We make do in what we have.

Boom! In a race between two completely different candidates and parties, in the current climate, it’s unproductive to complicate what should be a simple decision. One has only to glance around at events unfolding and use some common sense combined with your experience and knowledge. A or B. It’s not rocket surgery.
-
If we live in a perfect world, I get it But we don't. We make do in what we have.
Then the decline will continue.

No I don't.

We can always fix budget issues down the line within party and legislative processes. But, how do you propose to fix things when a determined political insurgency captures, controls and radically changes your government and country? It’s A or B. Those are the choices.

No. We can't.
We are way past fixing our budget issues. No one in either party has any real interest in doing so. We've entered Oz and we're going to exit in Greece or worse.

Well... ok.
Glad you realize that and openly say so.
But... once one has realized that, it becomes a non-issue (other than to be argumentative and "ideologically/conservatively pure" about it, as a few members of this forum are constantly pointing out about themselves to the rest of us).
No one is ever going to fix the budget or spending and get it under control...
...Until they have no choice but to do so.
That time isn't here yet.
I predict that it probably won't arrive for a few more decades.
...Unless the communists get control and accelerate the decline (they are getting VERY close to "getting control" right now, closer than just about everyone in this forum realizes or is willing to acknowledge).
-
No. We can't.

So your solution is to let Harris win? You know how many times I have heard that we have to totally abide by princple even though it means losing? A lot!!! I'm sorry but I can't let the party of the New Green Deal win.

Indeed Biden is a weakling that should be easily defeated by any opponent w/leadership attributes,
but he won't be, as early write in voting trends are clearly indicating.
The Fan Club neither hears nor sees any fault in Trump; so they refuse to accept any word of criticism.
So be it, as plain people not grinding an ax, will have the last word!!!

I am 90% sure that Biden is some kind of pedophile. I hope his October suprise includes some hair leg rubbing details.

Leadership, is finding a way forward after decades of stalemate in the Middle East and brokering peace and getting a couple of Nobel prize nominations, while being under constant political attack by the likes of pompous people like you, and liars and propagandists like CNN and the Washington Post.
That’s leadership.
I’d check the company you keep if I were you.

When the RINOs run another squish in 2024, and the squish gets his or her head handed to them by the rats, theyll prattle on about how Trump destroyed the GOP.

I think they're already blaming Trump for destroying the GOP. Why wait until November? Also, I think those predicting defeat, just to prove them right, will find a way to gloat even if Trump does win.
It's easy to do if one just keeps moving the goalposts. People who are educated way past the grasp of their intelligence do this every day, right here.
Others. Have. One. Single. Issue. They cannot be won over. Real political technicians simply ignore those folks, and they get nothing in the end, other than a chance to burble their "I told you so."
"Trump didn't shut down the government until the budget is balanced the instant he was Inaugurated!"
"Trump didn't order the military to crush the riots!"
The list goes on. Reasons all to let the Democrats win, rather than elect those worthless Republicans. Huzzah!

Yes. I cannot understand how anyone to the right of Angela Davis can fail to see whats at stake for us this November, let alone continue to trot out the same hoary old criticisms of Trump 6 weeks before such a crucial election.

Wow......after decades of stalemate, brokering peace and getting Nobel Prize nominations. Who knew?
A review of reality, which will make absolutely no difference to the Fan Club.
Lived some 2 decades in the Middle East in Bahrain, Jordan, Oman, UAE; among many others.
None of these were/are viscerally hostile to Israel and the Jewish People. NONE!!!
Virtually all had/have commercial relationships w/Israel, in particular Banking.
The cancer in the Middle East remains the "Palestinians", a tribe of neurotic nomads from the
eastern fringes of the ancient Persian Empire who upped sticks after the Great War, moving
west due to British influence and laying claim to land they had no claim to. NONE WHATSOEVER!!!
Everywhere they went, the Middle East refused to accept them, due to their attitude and behavior.
Palestine emerged around 10,000 BC giving birth to as well as being conquered by many cultures/societies, among them, the Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Trojans, Israelities, Greeks,
Romans and Byzantines. Then following the fall of Constantinople, Palestine was overrun by
the Muslims of the Hejaz, eventually becoming part of the British Protectorate of Trans-Jordan.
Next, in the late forties, King Abdullah of Jordan extended a hand of welcome to the "Palestinians"
who expressed their thanks by assassinating him in 1951; for which they were driven from Jordan!
What has Trump done. ABSOLUTELY ZERO!!!; as commercial relationships continue as before.
The problem in the Middle East remains the "Palestinians" and their fellow travelers, principally
in Iran, Syria and Yemen, as well as other locales of chronic unrest.
When this is addressed/resolved civil order and freedom will emerge and not before;
no matter how much the media flunkies yip-yap about Nobel Prizes !!!!!!

Like the NFL, the blind spot is evident.
Maybe the thing to do is to stop electing worthless Republicans. Demand excellence. Demand fealty, not to Tump, not to the GOP, but rather to the principles that are supposed to be the mantle we gather around. Getting my vote should be easy for the GOP. Maybe you should wonder why they are so very far away from getting it.
And like the NFL will find, the customer is always right.

Tump IS a squish, just like the rest of em. And no, i have not voted for a Republican president since the summer of 07 for sure, and probably a term or two before that. It is not that I want squish, Quite the opposite. Si no, Tumpy didn't destroy the GOP. It's been a long time gone.

Every election is portrayed as hair-on-fire crucial. The 'us versus them' bullcrap is what keeps BigGov.com running. By the time it's done, y'all vote for fear instead of the things you actually should be standing upon. And so it goes. Election after election. SOSDD.

Actually, speaking for myself, this is paradise to me. I bought a Castle with a great view of desert mountains on all sides a couple years ago, and with the Rona, everybody wants to leave Baby and me alone! Win-win.
And the Castle has a bar, to boot.

You might want to try a little "self reflection" in that matter.
