Trump to name Priebus chief of staff, Bannon senior counselor

Yep, so far he has suggested that Priebus is responsible for the felonious leaking of Mooch's financial disclosure statement when he was at the Import-Export Bank. The fact that I-E Bank disclosures are public record, and can be obtained online by anybody, apparently don't bother Mooch at all. In Moochworld, which appears to be a suburb of Trumpworld, "leaking" something that is publicly available is a felony.

It's all about appearances; there will probably be lots of people on here who believe that it was all 'leaked' somehow, too.

Anthony Scaramucci, Trump's Communication Director, has accused the Chief of Staff Reince Priebus of being the source of the White House leak machine by using underlings to pass information to the media. He challenged Priebus to deny it. It seems Scaramucci is going to be a real sh*t disturber for White House discipline which Sean Spicer was decidedly NOT.

You claim to be a Roman Catholic, do you not? Could you explain this?

“This is the problem with the leaking,” he said. “This is actually a terrible thing. Let’s say I’m firing Michael Short today. The fact that you guys know about it before he does really upsets me as a human being and as a Roman Catholic.”

Scaramucci ...where did they conjure up THAT weird, little homunculus up from? Did Harry Potter wave his magic wand and utter "Smarmireptilius" and up popped Scaramucci? Yikes! Trump's dinner parties must be freaky experiences.

I find the Dumpster's mode of governing interesting if for no other reason than a historical perspective. He apparently prefers a system where his appointees compete with one another, apparently believing that such competition will result in better performance. It reminds me of Hitler's governing style as he instituted the same sort of political structure. The result was quite similar to what is currently happening in the Dumpster dynasty - a semi-chaotic mess in which the various members of the administration have to fight one another for the leader's attention.

Um. . . it's Putin's governing style. Or at least an attempt thereat. Won't work here.

I've worked for a couple of people who believed that. What they don't realize is that the more talented people actually leave, they don't need to be in that sort of environment. But the people who manage that way actually believe they have the best people, because that's their mindset.
