Grab the popcorn. She is a nut, but until now she was Trump's nut. He still owns her (in a figurative sense). He only hires the best.

I just know she came out during the election and said we should all bow down to Trump. Still can't understand why the Evangelicals didn't throw a hissy fit (well I do understand but you get the point).

paying capital gains taxes on their portfolio they had to divest. It all goes out the window if they get fired (Just ask Scaramucci)



Federal law allows new executive branch employees to defer capital gains taxes on assets they were forced to sell in order to avoid conflicts of interest.

Sources say General Kelly did the firing and Omarosa is alleged to have acted very vulgar and cursed a lot and said she helped elect President Trump. The word is a General Kelly had it and got rid of her.

My theory is that she authored last nights Trump tweet that congratulated Doug Jones. Couple that with high black voter turnout in Alabama and she could not avoid Trump's temper tantrum.

Then this morning Trump was the unnamed White House source who said the Republicans were glad Moore lost because he was "dumb and weird". He did that to rub it in Omorosa's face and show her he was a better "Unnamed White House Source" than she was in her Communications Director role.

He sold his soul to work for Donnie Short Fingers. Giving him credit for firing this "token" grafter is like giving credit to Dr. Mengele for firing the secretary that answered the phone at the Concentration Camp.

why is it being reported that her date of departure being reported as January 20, 2018. And if it's true she's no longer working, then is she being paid between now and then? According to the OPM, a federal employee with under three years of service accrues 1/2 day of leave per pay period. That comes to 13 days. By my reckoning, there are 27 work days between now and 20 January.

Just sayin'.

Grifters all.
