I'm guessing that Mooch doesn't know what Emotional Intelligence means.

They need a new batch of meaningless words and phrases for the new year. Could it be that there are rumors of Hopey leaving and he's gunning for the job? Wonder how he is with the steamer.

I wish Scaramucci was still working at the White House. They're not going to get a first-rate candidate for that position, so the least they can do is keep us entertained.

Exclusive first access to “Mooch and the Mrs.” Begins Tuesday on the Radio.com app. It will feature the couple discussing the world we live in from opposite sides of the political spectrum, as well as a look at the strength of their marriage.

Um, no.

Lincoln's Bible on Twitter studies mobsters.  He has a long, detailed post about the Mooch, his Skybridge hedge fund, money laundering, and how money laundering works and how Skybridge worked to launder money.  Because, hey, it ALWAYS goes back to money laundering.

They should do a MAGA edition of Big Brother, where every single participant is tied to Trump in some fashion. Imagine Mike Huckabee and Omarosa sharing a house! ?

Just had a thought, what does this news mean for the future of the moochcast that Scaramucci and his wife are doing?

Rick Wilson's great takedown of the Mooch (R-Idiot): "Anthony Scaramucci is how you got Trump"

Spoiler

If you even care at all, by now you’re caught up on the most-dramatic-rose-ceremony split between Anthony Scaramucci and President Trump: Friday on “Real Time with Bill Maher,” Scaramucci said there are “certain things” Trump has done “that are absolutely indefensible.” Trump lashed out Saturday at the apostasy with:

On Sunday, Scaramucci, the former White House communications director, suggested that Trump is melting down, saying, “A couple more weeks like this” and Republicans will have to “replace the top of the ticket in 2020.”

On Monday, the president clapped back again with:

And so it goes. As a card-carrying, O.G. never-Trump Republican, I’m almost tempted to cut Scaramucci some slack, welcome him to the fold and assure him that this was inevitable: His bromance with Trump could never last because Trump is an utterly faithless creature for whom support is never enough: Trump demands humiliation and subjugation, not counsel and insight. It only took Scaramucci’s mild chiding — that Trump’s unseemly response to the mass killings in El Paso and Dayton, Ohio, including his recent visits to those cities, was a “catastrophe” — for Scaramucci to hop off (or be tossed from, depending on your point of view) the Trump train and dutifully sign up for The Resistance™.

But before Scaramucci gets his own #WokeMooch hashtag, let’s check his credentials.

Yes, he’s had it with Trump, but there’s something that grinds about the road-to-Damascus conversion narrative of the president’s former confidante and fellow New York blowhard. There’s a whiff of a reality-TV tease, the aroma of a pro-wrestling kayfabe, the faint stench of a canned I’m fired? No, you’re fired! melodrama, mostly because none of Trump’s character flaws were hidden from Scaramucci or anyone else in the enabler class: The short-fingered, short-tempered vulgarian occupying 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. didn’t just spring his semiliterate, Twitter-raging, race-baiting, self-declared-private-parts-grabbing, logic-averse, serial-lying and crony-coddling governing style last week — he’s been this guy all along. And Scaramucci, and his ilk, have defended him, touting his alleged brilliance every step of the way. Here’s a gem from Scaramucci’s introductory news conference, in the White House press briefing room, at the start of his ill-fated 11-day run as Trump’s communications director:

“I was in the Oval Office with him earlier today, and we were talking about letting him be himself, letting him express his full identity. I think he’s got some of the best political instincts in the world and perhaps in history. When you think about it he started his political ascent two years and two months ago, and he’s done a phenomenal job for the American people.”

Or a week later, on CNN:

“He’s our leader and one of the smartest people that I’ve ever met, if not the smartest. He’s just smart in a different way than maybe some of the people in the journalist community don’t like.”

It begs the question: Is Scaramucci on an all ‘shrooms and bootleg vodka diet? Does his circle of friends consist primarily of members of the Trump University dean’s list? Or is it more likely he always knew Trump was a trash-talking clod before getting behind him and later taking a West Wing job. Odds are that Scaramucci had seen Trump up close and personal, the president actively governing as a policy-allergic windbag, when The Mooch gave him all those glowing reviews. So before deciding whether to stamp or yank Scaramucci’s never-Trump card, it’s also worth asking: Was Scaramucci’s shtick performative then or is it performative now?

Mr. Mooch, did you mean it this week when you said that Trump is “mentally declining” and “creating a corrosive, socially dividing cancer in the country?” Or did you mean what you wrote in your book just last year, that the job of president “requires the same quick thinking and ingenuity as working in the private sector. This is why Donald Trump is fundamentally suited for the office.”

Because, I mean … Trump inherited daddy’s real estate money, thought the USFL was good business, ran a failed airline and — good lord — messed up running casinos. This president was never that man. Not on his best day.

Media also-rans and Twitter denizens have played a parlor game these last few years, arguing back and forth about “how you got Trump;” from the earnest, but weaksauce argument that liberal elites’ “sneering condescension” and political correctness propelled Trump’s rise, to the did-these-clowns-really-waste-Internet-on-this? theory: “Your Refusal To Date Conservatives Is One Reason We Have Donald Trump.”

But you don’t need to appoint a crackerjack special counsel to figure this one out. Even a patsy like former deputy attorney general Rod J. Rosenstein could solve this one. You got Trump because people such as Scaramucci decided to caddie for Trump while he gave himself an extra, um, stroke.

In the last few years, an ensemble cast of pathetic characters ranging from Omarosa Manigault-Newman to Sen. Lindsey O. Graham (R-S.C.) have, at one point, been on record lambasting the president and, at other points, chirped out his praises like so many self-owning mockingbirds. The Mooch is just one of dozens, perhaps hundreds, many of them old hands in Washington, who darn sure knew better, who got the part and played their role in rationalizing Trump’s pathological presidency. No, he’s not alone. But Anthony Scaramucci is how you got Trump.

Sorta OT, but now when I read TRump’s tweets, I hear Stephen Colbert’s impression in my head. ?

Not sure what the Mooch is up to exactly; it may be he's tweeting outrageous shit to get more airtime as a guest on talking head shows. 

Don't forget -- According to Lincoln's Bible on twitter as noted up thread: he's a schemer,  past sleazy head of a sleazy hedge fund and was likely laundering money through his sleazy hedge fund.  

He's running fast, trying to catch the caboose of the Never Trump train, but he's just a rank and shameless opportunist (not unlike Trump himself) with no moral or ethical center.  The Mooch is simply the most amazingly description term for everything about this guy. 

That said, the tweet about Trump dropping out in March of next year is kinda brilliant in its own way -- putting Trump on his back foot, IF Trump goes for the bait and bringing Mooch to the forefront of...what exactly?

Even if Trump were considering dropping out, I can see him reading this    having this read to him and being the stubborn, egotistical ass that he is, absolutely refuse to drop out. I swear he’s the kid you could double dog dare to lick a flagpole in the middle of winter, and he’d do it. And then stand there, stuck but insisting he’s not.

That would be very entertaining. He'd be the one who always takes a date in truth or dare, because he can't tell the truth.

Hubs has Velshi and Rule on MSNBC and The Mooch was on.  If he had remained this coherent during his 11-day tenure at the WH,  he'd still be there.  

Understand this: He isn't a Vote-for-Any-Dem-Never-Trumper; he's promoting finding a Republican to primary Trump, while planting a narrative in the minds of Repubs and conservatives that there's another way forward to save the Republican party.  He's trying to start a movement.  We'll see if he gains momentum undermining Trump.   This warrants careful watching.  He may have another meltdown and implode, but currently he's presenting a coherent argument.  He's smart and shrewd, and he'll co-opt the talking points that should be used by Democrats,* to destroy confidence in Trump -- the emperor has no clothes approach.   200 steel workers were laid off yesterday.  Democratic candidates should be hammering this relentlessly. 

*Bill Clinton: "It's the economy, stupid."
