Ignoring the grim idiot for a moment, I'm going back to the Mooch. You do know this was an on the record briefing?

Scaramucci said:

"Reince is a fking paranoid schizophrenic, a paranoiac," Scaramucci told the magazine's Washington reporter Ryan Lizza, adding that unlike Steve Bannon, Trump's strategist, he was not "trying to suck my own cock."

This is the President's communications director attacking the Chief of staff by referencing the strategist.

Absolutely incredible!

My favourite report today came from Sky News. Sadly they've edited it now, but in reporting that:

Scaramucci said:

I'm not Steve Bannon. I'm not trying to suck my own cock.

Sky News said:

The slur - likely figurative rather than literal - seeks to imply Mr Bannon places his own interests before those of the White House.

They've edited out the bit between dashes.

Actually they were forced to 'apologise' because of all the nutty liberal comments about it being like a Hitler Youth Rally.

Not because of what Trump actually said.

This is how bullying liberals work, they smear people/groups, to force them to disassociate themselves from the 'enemy'.

(You see it in climate change all the time, someone says something not 'on message', the [bpack of wolves descends to ridicule and discredit[/b], and their employer/institutions/associates/colleagues etc. are then forced to disown them or have the pack of wolves sent to their door too.)

I imagine it must have been quite tricky to come up with such a dribbling excuse. The reality is much more simple.

Trump behaved like a cringeworthy nob. The parents who attended the jamboree were disgusted. It was a bit like somebody attending a 5 year old's brithday party and boasting about how cheap Eastern European prostitutes are. The man genuinely has no class, no filter telling him what is right or what is wrong. Possibly because he's been surrounded since birth by sycophants.

His speech was cringeworthy on so many levels and that is why the Chairman apologised.Nothing else.

The actual words from the Chairman. Basically the opposite of what grim said of course.

"I want to extend my sincere apologies to those in our Scouting family who were offended by the political rhetoric that was inserted into the jamboree,"

And then the White House again displaying a complete lack of awareness;

Asked about Surbaugh's statement Thursday, White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said she had not seen it — but did note that on Monday, she saw "probably one of the most energetic crowds I've seen in front of the president."

"I was at that event, and I saw nothing but roughly 40,000 to 45,000 Boy Scouts cheering the president on throughout his remarks," she said, "and I think they were pretty excited that he was there and happy to hear him speak to them.

The disgusting Sebastian Gorka was on the Today Programme this morning. He said that Trump is not part of the elite because he grew up in Queens, the son of a building contractor.

Bizarrely, but revealingly, he went on to say that Trump is not part of the Oxbridge elite. His degree is a 2:2 in theology from Heythrop College, University of London, which I've never heard of. Imperial, Kings and UCL are very good and if he'd attended one of those he might have got over his inferiority complex.

One must live in a peculiar world if one thinks that a boy scout jamboree is a suitable venue for politicking.

This is a narrative I see over & over. The idea that someone is coming to topple the elites & do it for the common man. Never mind he's a billionaire property developer or an ex. city commodities trader or whatever, it's always the same notion, I'm one of you & I'll eject these corrupt elites. It's practically always untrue through history & you can look back on every populist who made it to the top & see they either became the establishment (which is usually the aim) or a dictator or both.

We saw Gove try it on during the referendum to great applause - 'we're sick of these experts', what a brass fking neck for an Oxbridge ex, Times columnist cabinet minister to come out with yet it was swallowed down wholesale by the same breed of credulous people who propelled Trump to the White house, create a monster then say you're the only one who can slay it. How convenient for you. So in conclusion, Seb Gorka can fk right off.

The scary thing is all the rest of the GOP who thought that trumps healthcare was fine!

So The Mooch says that the journalist shouldn't have reported what he said.

Which means he though that the interview was "off the record"?

In which case, um... isn't that known as "leaking"?

Hmmm... tricky.

Russia upset with sanctions and throw a hissy fit.

The US has a very different culture to us. They believe that it's better for people to try and look after themselves rather than creating a society that tries to look after everybody.

YMMV

Great. They've been the source of the majority of the russian connection leaks

I think the donald may be changing his mind

Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) killed the last-resort Senate Republican healthcare bill in a surprise vote early Friday morning, voting against a pared-down proposal that GOP leaders released only hours earlier.

Voting shortly after midnight, McCain – who returned to the Senate on Tuesday after undergoing emergency surgery related to brain cancer – joined GOP Sens. Susan Collins (Maine) and Lisa Murkowski (Alaska) in opposing the measure that would have repealed key parts of ObamaCare.

McCain cast the "no" vote two days after a dramatic return to the Senate floor during which he called on his colleagues to work together on major issues such as healthcare reform, which has long been a Senate tradition until the upsurge of partisanship in recent years.
