      Donald Trump, Anthony Scaramucci, and Reince Priebus: Nasty, Brutish, and Short

      Donald Trump, Anthony Scaramucci, and Reince Priebus: Nasty, Brutish, and Short

"The Mooch" only got about forty-eight hours to gloat about "cock-blocking" his rival, before he too bit the dust.

      This Is the Most Clueless, Incompetent, and Self-Defeating Administration in American History

      The continual meltdown of the Trump administration has reached, unbelievably, an even higher pitch over the last few days, with the hiring of financier Anthony Scaramucci as the new White House communications director.

      And yet, the endless juicy personal drama surrounding President Trump is in some ways covering up for far worse failures and incompetence -- particularly surrounding America's nuclear programs and arsenal. The hapless incompetence of this administration is virtually impossible to exaggerate.
