Scaramucci's Statement Was A Bit Odd.....

and maybe its just me. Aside from the used car salesman look and his statement that "everyone loves Trump" (as an aside I heard that from now on ice cream will be known as Trump since everyone loves ice cream and everyone loves Trump so they're really the same), his parting words to Spicer-"I'm sure he'll go on to make a lot of money". That's a strange thing to say. Not I wish you well. Not good health and enjoy your friends and loved ones. Not go on to do great things. Make a lot of money. Was it a statement of Scaramucci's messed up values where making a lot of money is the best thing you can wish someone or was it a signal to Spicer-keep your mouth shut and we'll "take care of you"? I don't know. It just struck me as very odd.

Plus, some other talking head on CNN said the exact same thing just a few minutes before the press conference started. I think maybe Spicey is being assuaged with offers from Fox or something. Trying to take some of the sting out of a humiliation.

And then I thought, "well, they're Republics. Of course the first thing they think about is money."

When they talk about family values we all know to drop the family--just leave values as in $$$.

I wish Spicer would write a "tell all" book, but Dear Leader probably had him sign something so he can't.

Was there a wink and a nod? Did they give him a little talk? Sean, you know it would be a shame should some terrible accident befall you or your family members. On the other hand, if you just play ball everything could work out quite nicely for you. Just don't let me hear about you talking to that Mueller guy.

After the "everybody loves drumpf" lie, I was laughing uproariously at how out of touch that used-car salesman is with at least half of the country.
