But it's obvious that Scaramucci is as nuts as 45, or maybe he's half drunk, or maybe both. He's petty and ridiculous, like many in the administration.

I can't believe this insanity is happening. It's a f***ing nightmare.

An utter mockery of this country. And to think following on the heels of the most distinguished, graceful, professional, dignified, honest presidency ever...

I hope this shuts these horrible humans forever and cuts them out of our political system. Their voices and views have no place in a democracy. We just must go there, even if it is counterintuitive.

I didn't think anything could make me feel worse about this whole 45 debacle. I was wrong.

"Clampdown"
by The Clash

Hey, hey!
Ooh!
The kingdom is ransacked
the jewels all taken back
and the chopper descends
they're hidden in the back
with a message on a half-baked tape
with the spool going round
saying I'm back here in this place
and I could cry
and there's smoke you could click on

What are we gonna do now?
Taking off his turban, they said, is this man a Jew?
'Cause they're working for the clampdown
They put up a poster saying we earn more than you!
When we're working for the clampdown
We will teach our twisted speech
To the young believers
We will train our blue-eyed men
To be young believers

The judge said five to ten, but I say double that again
I'm not working for the clampdown
No man born with a living soul
Can be working for the clampdown
Kick over the wall 'cause government's to fall
How can you refuse it?
Let fury have the hour, anger can be power
D'you know that you can use it?

The voices in your head are calling
Stop wasting your time, there's nothing coming
Only a fool would think someone could save you
The men at the factory are old and cunning
You don't owe nothing, so boy get running
It's the best years of your life they want to steal

You grow up and you calm down
You're working for the clampdown
You start wearing the blue and brown
You're working for the clampdown
So you got someone to boss around
It makes you feel big now
You drift until you brutalize
You made your first kill now

In these days of evil presidentes
Working for the clampdown
But lately one or two has fully paid their due
For working for the clampdown
Ha! Gitalong! Gitalong!
Working for the clampdown
Ha! Gitalong! Gitalong!
Working for the clampdown

Yeah I'm working hard in Harrisburg
Working hard in Petersburg
Working for the clampdown
Working for the clampdown
Ha! Gitalong! Gitalong
Begging to be melted down
Gitalong, gitalong
(Work)
(Work)
(Work) And I've given away no secrets - ha!

Chris Cuomo is a consistently great interviewer. I appreciate Scaramucci's candor but there's so much wrong here. What is a "leak"? How come reporters know so darn much? Is the White House "left" or "right"? Why do people in the White House think they need to "save the country from the President"? What does it mean to have "FBI buddies"?

It's fascinating that he's recast the whole Trump presidency as a two man team: he and Trump are the "two fish that don't stink". We'll see what happens when the honeymoon is over.
