@Kentonio, told you Trump would have got rid of another one 
The Trump Admin is placing sanctions on Maduro's assets and forbidding anyone in the US from doing business with him.
WH reporter for CBS News.
Military is too decentralized for a coup to be effective. You have the commands stationed abroad, state national guards... It would be chaos.
Nice.
This is a travesty. We didn't get to enjoy Mooch... mooch for at least 6 months. He should be brought back by an act of Congress.

His official start date was August 15th. Incredible.
At a time when trust in the news is at possibly its lowest point in modern history...
The executive editor of CNN's investigative unit was fired for his role in the retracted story about Trump.
So let her be fired if it ain't true. For someone in that position, I'm inclined to believe it is true.
It sounds like Scaramucci is completely unemployed now. They're not even letting him go to the Import/Export Bank
Don't you see a problem with blind faith in an organisation and an industry with an obvious agenda, a history of unsubstantiated and false claims and in an environment where inexplicable chaos is the norm? She's not necessarily lying, but it's entirely plausible she's being lied to.
It's entirely plausible that Trump orchestrated this all - throw in a suicide bomber in the form of Scaramucci to kick out the old guard, and then have that suicide bomber kicked out himself to show they're now establishing order with a new man by his side. If that's the narrative they want to create then having people feed the press that he was escorted out is perfect.
That may not be the dominant narrative but here's an excerpt from the BBC...
I'm quite sure he will be ok mate. He's worth an estimated $85 Million. Even if his wife takes him for $30 or $40 mill, he's still not doing badly is he?
Spicer and Priebus get the last laugh
More to come! Stay tuned!You were not wrong.
We're having quite a big discussion here about a rather innocuous and probably true detail in a batshit crazy story. I think whether the small (but fun) detail is true or not (and I'm going to stand by it considering the source til I see otherwise) is kind of neither here nor there. I also think you're giving Trump waaaaaaaaay too much credit with that second theory there.
Edit: sources plural now.
Edit Edit: To suggest using that BBC quote Trump has orchestrated something that Kelly has done since he was hired again stretches the bounds of believability. The man verifiably adopts the opinion of whatever he saw ten seconds ago on Fox And Friends.

Trump probably wants to get through the events of 8 years of presidency before he gets impeached.
Bismillah!
"Can't believe the Scaramucci actor left after only one episode. Was expecting him to stay for a season at least."
Moooooched!
Can'i wait for the Daily Show

I didn't say I'd like to see one. I just have a hunch there will end up being the equivalent of a de facto coup to end this bizarre episode in US history. Trump will have to be removed at some point, he is weakening the US so much. Call it what you want when that happens, it might be something like a coup. Either that or we've three and half more years of this madness, which can't be good for America.
Scaramucci has been sacked lol
Your job's a joke,
You're broke,
Your lovelife's DOAAAAAA

Not going to happen, but he had and still probably has a huge majority support in the military.
Not necessarily, they're the ones who'd have to go and bleed if he provokes an unnecessary conflict.
I find it interesting that his support varied significantly from enlisted to officer, and from service to service with Marines being the higher (at least around election):
Marines seemingly live for that though. Tell them to go off fight one of those tribes of the Amazon with minimal contact with civilization, and they'll treat it like the calling of a lifetime.

That 1% Green-military overlap

Probably some over-zealous Army personnel worried about the increase in ocean levels meaning more budget leverage for the Navy.
Will DT be next?
They don't care, they still support him. I come in contact with a lot of people in the Navy and Marines and to a man they are Republicans, not everyone, but a vast majority.
