I’m still sorting out my feelings on Trump’s new communications director Anthony Scaramucci. On one hand, he’s not exactly a conservative. On the other hand, that doesn’t seem to be much of an issue. It doesn’t seem like he’s concerned with pushing his personal political beliefs. He’s all in for Trump’s agenda. That’s his priority. His tactics, so far, aren’t quite what we’re used to (understatement of the century), but hey. He’s getting results. Reince Priebus is gone so…there’s that.
I don’t know. I see both sides. I almost feel like Trump appointed a mob boss as his new communications director. Part of me is mildly horrified and part of me is loving every minute of it. I’m not saying I necessarily agree with his tactics, but I’m delighted to see someone mess with the Washington establishment. I also liked his remark, “As you know from the Italian expression, the fish stinks from the head down, I can tell you two fish that don’t stink, that’s me and the president.”
One thing’s for sure. The swamp isn’t prepared for these personalities. Neither is MSNBC. Lawrence O’Donnell is straight up losing it. He says Scaramucci belongs in a straitjacket. He cannot believe we’re paying this “raving lunatic.”

Pretty sure liberals are the last people who should say anything about employing raving lunatics. Congress is full of ’em.
