So does this slimeball Scaramucci now need to pay capital gains tax on the profits he made selling his share of the company he was involved in? Just all seems like a gigantic tax dodge now.

So anybody knows the reason behind this guy getting fired even before he began his job?
And who hired him in the first place?
- They say because of the bad words he used in an interview last week .. that's coming from Mr grab them by the pussyRamanisky2
- Because he's unfit for the White House just like most of the stooges in there. Looks like Kelly isn't fucking around.monospaced
- He was a Trump hire - PressSec and former Chief of Staff resigned because of Mooch, this seems to be more Kelly flexing his muscles as the the new Chief.face_melter

Trump supporters often find clips of images of random idiots and use it to paint the entire left with a broad brush. To be fair, the left does this as well. But this is insane. This is not some random nut from youtube. This person was a national spokesperson of the Trump campaign.
Fucking unbelievable. It never stops. At this point, Trump supporters must be the dumbest people in history.

John Kelly was angry about James Comey’s dismissal
Don the Con is not going to be happy about this revelation...I smell a firing or a resigning shortly.
- Yup. Kelly's days are numbered. The Great Orange Turd hates being stood up to.Continuity
- Going after Kelly would look really bad.monospaced
- It would ... but we're also dealing with someone who couldn't give a rat's arse if his behaviour makes him look bad.Continuity

White House Says Trump Was ‘Making A Joke’ When He Endorsed Police Brutality

On Friday morning, the latest data on domestic economic growth was released, and we learned that the US economy grew at an annualised pace of 2.6% in the second quarter, covering April to June. At a White House cabinet meeting this morning, Donald Trump pointed to the figure as proof of his underappreciated successes. From the official transcript:
“We have a GDP, on Friday – it got very little mention, although I guess in the business areas it did. But it got, I think, very little mention. 2.6 is a number that nobody thought they’d see for a long period of time.... And 2.6 is an unbelievable number, announced on Friday.”
It’s hard to say with confidence whether Trump has any idea what the GDP is or what the quarterly reports show, but 2.6% growth is clearly not an “unbelievable number.” It’s actually quite believable.
Indeed, when the president says “nobody” expected to see quarterly growth of 2.6 “for a long period of time,” that plainly ridiculous. As recently as last fall, which really isn’t that long ago, we saw 2.8% growth.
Throughout the Obama era, most notably after the Great Recession ended, we saw plenty of individual quarters in which growth topped 4% and, at one point, 5%. Barack Obama didn’t do much to pat himself on the back, and the Democratic White House didn’t tout the figures as “unbelievable.” They were simply seen as evidence of a domestic economy that was growing steadily.
What’s more, given the fact that Trump hasn’t approved any major economic legislation, every time he celebrates the economic news from the first half of his first year in office, he’s really just touting the economy he inherited from his predecessor.
But here’s the awkward question for the White House and its allies: does Trump not realise that 2.6% quarterly growth is a fairly common figure in recent years, and not worth getting excited about? When the president makes the case that 2.6% growth is “a number that nobody thought they’d see for a long period of time,” is he unaware of how completely wrong that is?
Because given comments like the ones he made this morning, it’s hard not to get the impression that Trump’s policy illiteracy includes the basics of economic data.
- The economic record of both parties kinds sheds some light on things. Median household income and economic growth tends to go up under Dems, down under Gop.monoboy
- Lowering taxes and reducing public spending only helps the richest 10%. Investing in infrastructure and public services helps everyone.monoboy
