BREAKING: Scaramucci Bans Shine Boxes from White House Press Briefing Room
No link yet...breaking news. 
WASHINGTON DC - A shouting match ensued early Thursday in the White House Press Briefing Room between President Trump's new Comminications Director Anthony Scaramucci and New York Times reporter Glenn Thrush.
Thrush has just asked Scaramucci about rapidly escalating rumors that the President intended to fire both Attorney General Jeff Sessions and Special Counsel Robert Mueller during the August recess, filling the vacancies with recess appointments.
Scaramucci, clearly agitated, replied "GEEZ Glenn, you're breakin' my balls up here."
Thrush snickered and replied "If I was busting your balls, I'd send you home for your shine box."
Scaramucci glared at the reporter as Thrush continued. "You remember Tony's shines? The kid was great. He made mirrors."
Scaramucci threw down his notepad and yelled "No more shines, Glenn."
Thrush continued laughing and looked around the room, savoring the restrained glee on the faces of his fellow reporters. He then told Scaramucci "Come ooonnn. Toneeee. We're only kidding. You can't take a joke? Come ooonn."
Scaramucci appeared to nod in agreement as a faint smile appeared on his face, before Thrush demanded "Now get the hell home and get your shine box."
Scaramucci was restrained by Secret Service agents as he advanced across the room in Thrush's direction with clenched fists. Thrush lowered his pants, turned his back to Scaramucci, and slapped his bare buttocks while making "raspberry" noises. This only angered Scaramucci further.
In a prepared statement following the contentious meeting, Scaramucci wrote "Starting today, shine boxes will no longer be allowed in the White House Briefing Room, nor the mention of shine boxes. Futhermore, all male reporters are required to wear underwear at all times...be it boxers or briefs...and their pants are to remain zipped, buttoned, and belted."
Glenn Thrush could not be reached for comment.

you had me for a second, until the "you're breaking my balls up here". Not even Moochie would have the classlessness to say that. Huckleberry Sanders? Yes! She'd say it, and MEAN IT! 
Can't be real, it usually is real.
