White House staff should “act with honor and dignity and respect” like Joe Paterno. In an interview with CNN’s Chris Cuomo, Scaramucci cited former Penn State football coach Joe Paterno -- who was fired after being accused of covering up a child sex-abuse scandal that involved his assistant coach -- to make an argument about the “honor of the job” in handling information at the White House.

To be fair, the press sec is probably afraid to answer questions because A) Trump may fire B) Trump may backpedal.

I hate to give moy any credit, as he seems to have crossed from unstable to insane, but that really feels like a smokescreen. Tweet about something meaningless that will cause a shitstorm anyway and divert coverage away from something else.

It's true. Back to back to back tweets on the subject is bound to get the rabid media chasing the purple squirrel all over again.

Did these tweets stop anyone from investigating his Russia corruption?

no.

Oh ok.

It did get the rabid media to report something besides RUSSIA!!!! for a day.

So is the military transgender ban just Trump ******* with liberals? I didn't know it was an issue or even a discussion.

Shouldn't saving $8 million dollars of tax-payer money always be an issue? I've heard of people joining the military just to get their "change" paid-for, and think that's totally ridiculous. Don't approve of the life-choice at all, but if these people want to waive getting any money at all for this purpose, then let them serve. See how much of a difference in volunteers that makes. Also, end the viagra supply why we're making cuts. That too is ridiculous.

His golf trips to Mar-a-Lago have cost more than that already.

These were moy's exact words:

And you're concerned that $10 billion (1/100th of a trillion) may not be spent effectively? Talk about jumping over dollars to pick up pennies. $10 billion is chump change BL. Admit it, YOU'RE OFFENDED BY THE WALL!!!

So, how is it $10 billion is nothing when trump is spending it, but $8 million is a lot when Trump wants to save it?

The wall will pay for itself many times over... And besides Mexico will pay for it in the end.

Mexico is not paying for the wall. It will not pay for itself because walls do not have bank accounts.

Will it? Who picks strawberries for $9 a day? Americans? Good luck with that. So, when strawberries are $8 a pound instead of $2, who pays for it? Mexico?

You are ridiculously short-sighted on economic matters past your wallet.

I had a conversation with one of my more conservative friends about that the other day. I said with no illegals food prices would go up. Why? Labor cost increases. He said we should put all the 'unemployed urban people' to work in the fields.

I'm sure him and All3 would get along well. He's intimidated by non-whites just like All3.

It's just stupid. Realistically, the wall is the least effective, most expensive method at fighting illegal immigration. Most smuggling (drugs and people) already comes through the border crossings with walls.

We'll import more $2/lb strawberries from Mexico. We already do. Meanwhile the inflow of illegal immigrants and illegal drugs will be substantially reduced.
