    So.Much.Twaddle.

    I never mentioned bin Laden or said Clinton gave anyone cancer or claimed Nixon did anything other than escalate a criminal war, and you fail to address my other points re: Kennedy.

    Your problem may be basic reading issues rather than just failing to understand history?

    You clearly need to gain basic competence in both reading and historic comprehension, including understanding Truman and WWII as well as numerous other matters.

    Perhaps more time spent reading rather than manufacturing false claims and policing typos would serve you.

    Good luck!

    As Cleefy's mom may not let him use Google, here's a short list of modern White House scandals (sans horrific war crimes) for him to research next time he hits the library:

    Teapot Dome (Harding Cabinet member went to prison)
    Watergate
    Bert Lance resignation (Carter)
    Iran-Contra (Reagan)
    Villanpandogate (Bush I Cabinet member went to prison)
    Lewinskygate
    Rovegate (Bush II; Turd Blossom forced to resign)
    Retardgate and IRSgate (Obama)

    Well Lazy Boy, if you still prefer the comic book history of the world, that is your business. You really should learn to spell the big words.

    I am around when you need another history lesson.

    I get it - your bit is to make stuff up and pretend the other person said it.

    I wanna play too! :hug:

    Sir, I find your assertion that Calvin Coolidge was a giant sea otter to be a gross mischaracterization; please brush up on your US history and marine biology.

    How'd I do? :banana:

    Does this come under the heading of a "gate".... Moochgate?
    Just checked google....there is no Moochgate listed so let's start it here!

    I used to talk freely like Scaramuch, but never at the office, and never on the record. His bad-boy act is comically out of place in the WH.

    I presume you know that the value of stocks is related to the value of currency? The US dollar has dropped significantly (around 10%) in value since Trump took office hence for the apparent rise in index. The Dow Jones index has performed poorly compared to other countries stock indexes. You will feel the effect when inflation starts to bite.

    pres trump has yet to be tested in a real crisis. all those others had their issues and acted like adults, policies aside, they did not constantly lose their composure

    Meh.

    He hasn't dropped an atom bomb or napalm on anyone, none of his cabinet are in prison, we're not illegally invading another country, we're not on the brink of nuclear annihilation, and he's not playing grab-ass with Marilyn Monroe, a mobster's moll or some doe-eyed/dough-brained intern, so maybe we can put the hysteria on the back burner until the prez commits a transgression as serious as any of the above.

    Some WH mouthpiece getting salty with a reporter is about a 0 on a scale of 1 to armageddon, so the snowflakes may want to refrain from any more pantie-clutching over this unless they want to appear even more ridiculous than they do now.

    IMHO of course. :mrgreen:

    he hasnt been honest about anything hes done or is doing. the only consistent thing about him is his penchant for foot-in-mouth. he has not been tested either.

    as far as snowflake is concerned, pres trump is the wussiest snowflake of them all. the petulant child is too weak to handle any criticism, and goes into denial mode when challenged about it.

    hardly the person who is capable of handling a crisis

    oh i agree they are their worst enemy. they need to learn how to calm and not react by lashing out. it would be better if they just deny, then ignore and half their belly aching would go away

    Then I'm sorry potentially wording the question incorrectly, resulting in your off-topic replies. I assumed you understood this thread was about turmoil within the WH Staff. Not sure how the first few pages didn't tip you off.

    So I assume your inability to produce any links means you yourself beleive this is the most dysfunctional WH Staff of all time? I never stated that, but I also haven't been shown otherwise. I'd like to hear comparisons to past Presidencies for similar events.

    Perhaps the thing that is the most humorous about this is the speed at which the reporter from the New Yorker was able to publish his "juicy" "private" conversation with mr Scaramucci. The best part seems to be the part where the reporter believed that he was being included into this little scandal of epic smackdown potential. So, literally within hours of the conversation, the New Yorker runs the story, and some additional tweets are published that promote the idea that the published content was correct and the New Yorker folks were high fiving themselves for their accidental "discovery" of it. It's so salacious, it's so juicy. Who could possibly resist publishing the story? Even if they were just being baited??

    Some of this is not inner white house staff turmoil, and the ones that match are only 1 example compared to dozens for Trump's. You're proving his point that Trump's is the worst so far by only being able to bring up 1 example from each. And even some of those 1 examples are weak-sauce, IE; Bert Lance simply resigned due to banking fraud with no palace intrigue involved. Do you have a link showing Lewinskygate caused inn-fighting? How about Iran-Contra? Why is there no staff dysfunction associated with any of these events?

    Your hasty desperate google search (after finally figuring out what we're all actually talking about after 11 pages) has failed you.

    P.S Please put links next time.

    He donated a lot to Hillary. He's more of a left winger than Spicer or Priebus.

    So I'm not seeing the issue here. Are you saying the report is fake or not?

    Yeah we figured that out when you didn't offer citation and went completely off-topic about international politics.

    Can't find many past presidencies with the communication director saying this kind of stuff. Or the President constantly insulting his AG. Or the Chief of Staff being accused of leaking. Or the Chief Strategist sucking their own peen. Or being so many inner leakers. Feuding Trump aids at every turn.

    But maybe there has been worse. Got any leads so far?
