The Mooch

The Mooch Is Back In The News-- And It's Hilarious

Scaramucci is campaigning against his old pal-- and boss-- Señor Trumpanzee. Look at this clip of him yapping it up on Fox New with Howie Kurtz today. What a laugh fest! Trump and The Mooch are throwing shit at each other like a couple of crazed monkeys. Trump is so funny-- he's like a TV cartoon character; he should go on a stand-up comedy tour.

Fred Trump's Young Herr... A Racist? How Could It Be?

Yesterday, in his Washington Post column, Greg Sargent wrote that ever since Señor Trumpanzee "launched his candidacy by declaring Mexicans to be 'rapists,' Trump's public racism has often included two additional important elements: an adamant refusal to apologize for it in the face of outrage, and an equally adamant denial that the offending language was racist in any way. Central to Trump’s racism-- and more broadly to Trumpism writ large-- is not just the content of the racism itself.

Remember The Mooch? From Oyster Bay? Like Steve Israel?

Everyone who was looking forward to The Mooch being one of the Trumpanzee ringmasters for years was disappointed when Chief of Staff John Kelly made Trump fire him after just 10 days. What a tragedy for late night comedy! The Mooch should write a book. Thursday evening, Vanity Fair's William Cohan gave him some pretty bitter notes about those 10 hilarious days that he'll be able to use in writing it if his memory weakens.

The Wheels Are Coming Off The Never Very Well-Oiled Machine

Putin may not get the sanctions lifted but if one of his goals in using Russian internet capacity to put Trump in the White House was to wreck American democracy... everything is moving along just fine. Trump's management style is beyond belief-- but, alas, undeniable. I wonder why people hang onto their jobs in the Regime.
