Wow...looks like he might have shown some spine...kind of makes me shudder that this was the cross too much for him to bear.

WASHINGTON — Sean Spicer, the White House press secretary, resigned on Friday morning, telling President Trump he vehemently disagreed with the appointment of the New York financier Anthony Scaramucci as communications director.

Mr. Trump offered Mr. Scaramucci the job at 10 a.m. The president requested that Mr. Spicer stay on, but Mr. Spicer told Mr. Trump that he believed the appointment was a major mistake, according to person with direct knowledge of the exchange.

I look forward to the next administration where Trump is never brought up in an argument.

We should adopt this course of action with the Hslos.

No more Napoli, Mathis, Hamilton, GMJ or Fuentes posts.

 

ok, Hamilton stays 

[Ordos]

This will probably last as long as that pledge did.

Blarg, only the actions of the current POTUS matter. 

The issue of shell companies in Delaware came up because of the Russian lawyer Don jr met with.  This guy is accused of money-laundering for persons unknown.

Trump and Clinton creating shell companies in Delaware to lighten their tax-burden is a completely separate issue.

Got it, ignoring all other criminal activity that was outlined by the previous administration as it pertained to staff members under his watch. Glad I have clear guidelines.

[red321]

If Blarg would like to discuss the "criminal activity" of the previous administration, or someone who is not the Donald Trump or part of the Trump administration, he should create a thread or using an existing thread pertaining to that individual.

The fact that Blarg continuously dumps items like this in a Trump thread makes it more likely that he likes bright shiny objects as compared to wanting to have a discussion about it.

[Blarg]

No, mang, I got the guidelines and they state you can't bring up shell corporations that Obama denounced as nefarious even though his one time Secretary of State has five of them. In fact, I'm pretty sure his other Secretary of State had more than a few Orange Street business addresses considering his wife is a billionaire. So we are just not going to talk about it. 

[red321]

[Blarg]

You obviously still want to talk about it.

I'm not sure the age level of the back and forth actually reaches the minimum age for MLP.

Get a room, ladies!

Let's all go over to the main forum and criticize Claude for bringing up Pujols in a non-Pujols thread.

And Trump has 378 of them.  But what does it have to do with Don Jr meeting with a Russian money launderer?

Talk about it?

Sure.

Pretend that it's an effective defense when discussing concerns about Trump?

Sure, but it's not.

Some are talking about Spicer bolting due to taking a stand, but isn't it possible that he's ducking out before a major crapstorm hits? Investigations like this tend to hit people on tangents, no?

As opposed to the previous 28 crapstorms?

Yes, possibly.

[Tank]

i'm guessing this was an opportune time to get out of dodge. he's had nothing but crap to deal with since day one. i wonder how much he's had to defend things he philosophically disagreed with.

[Rico]

So someone (probably Trump) just threw Sessions under the bus.

[fan_since79]

Wait a minute...I heard a discussion this afternoon that Trump could hypothetically fire Sessions and Mueller, then pardon everybody in his administration including himself, and the whole Russian thing simply vanishes.

Is this even remotely true?!

post is reporting Intercepts regarding conversations between Sessions and Russian ambassador, substantive conversations regarding campaign and us/russia relations.

They find out Muller is looking into the financials of the entire staff and suddenly Kushner has another $10.6 million to report that he "accidentally omitted."

It is like a badly written high school movie script.

I was discussing these issues with a gentleman sitting next to me to me today at the Lumberjack World Championships and he says this is all fake news created by Mexicans and Jews.  

He works at the local auto body shop and wemt to Minneapolis once, but "didn't like how faggy everyone acted" so he hasn't been back.  

You want me to trust the Washington Post over this guy? (Nate was his name)

Obviously a different Nate.  Our mate is pretty faggy.

Who said anything about a defense? Also the subject was brought up as a third party being involved in the whole shell corporation game, as if having one instantly qualifies a person as a criminal.
