Nah. Captain Planet villain-of-the-week is more like it.
Verminous Skumm, Looten Plunder, Hoggish Greedly (that’d be Trump), Anthony Scaramucci
When I was a reporter, I figured ‘empower the afflicted and afflict the powerful’ was my job. Now I find out it was ‘throwing eggs.’
Where they at least fresh eggs?

I always catch Barry Ritholtz’s Masters In Business podcasts on Bloomberg. Ritholtz is fighting the good fight in personal financial planning, and he’s doing well by doing good, in my opinion. His partners and he all have well respected blogs, and the MiB podcasts are usually gems. His interview with “Mooch” is interesting. Not my favorite by any stretch, but if you want to know more about him. Here it is.

“I’m not throwing eggs. I’m throwing facts,” Cuomo hit back. “There’s a difference.”
There are no longer facts. The truth of any issue is whatever the GOP chaff machine can convince the proles to believe. And they'll believe just about any damned thing you set out to convince them of. Abortion causes breast cancer. McDonalds is food. More carbon dioxide is better. Coal jobs are coming back. Your health care is going to get better. Donald Trump is barring people leaving his administration from lobbying. North Korea will have an ICBM capable of reaching Cincinnati next Tuesday. Chinese imports are putting Americans out of work, but hey, keep shopping at Walmart, the retail sector is an important facet of our economy.

Falcon is right. You should be on your guard when dealing with anybody who says the word ‘bro.’

Hey Trumpkins, you fucking snowflakes don’t get to claim “I’m new to politics. Stop being so meeeann to meeeee!” when you’re the goddamn President of the United States or his top advisors. You bought it; now man (and woman for fucking Ivanka) up to the fucking job.
And Scaramucci, suck it.

Especially someone over fifty who uses “bro.”

Scaramucci is a perfect example of the French-cuffed, jumped-up garbage that swirls around the Trump drain.
The woebegone Kushners aren’t “new” to money are they?

I think he meant that when talking to reporters Trumpco inevitably ends up with Egg on it’s face.
Why is a Trump tool like Scaramucci even on TV? Oh, because only ‘tools’ are available to provide ‘balance’ for cable news channels desperate for ratings.

Or ANYBODY who substitutes the neologism ‘bra’ and is not talking about underwear.

“Journalists are nosy, and journalists throw the eggs,”
Thanks, Captain Obvious. Just another corrupt, lying hanger-on. The Trump White House is nothing but a two-bit criminal gang. I do hope real* journaiists keep being “nosy”; it’s one of our last protections against the predation of these crooks.
*Not those employed by Fox “News,” Breitbart, et al.

Pissant. Members of the working press have the Constitution backing them. You’ve got a mercurial Orange Julius who throws people under the bus for fun.

You just know that 100 years ago, he’d be driving a patent medicine wagon in the Midwest selling the rubes a vegetable tonic that would cure consumption, pneumonia and cancer.

Scaramucci; What a mook.
Just btw, even without the corrupt political connections these visas-for-investment deals can be huge scams. Up here in vermont we’re still unwinding a $200M deal of which at least $50M was flat out stolen by the promoters and the brokerage firm they used to do the paperwork. And if it does turn out to be a scam, not only do the marks lose their money, they also stand to lose their immigration status.
