We were wrong. To say the Trump White House is chaotic is as obvious as\u00a0saying the sun is hot. Every damn day, something new is being mucked up.<\/p>\n<p>Last week, in an effort to dispose of leaks in the Trump White House, America&#8217;s CEO\/Dictator hired Antony Scaramucci, an up and coming financier and entrepreneur who promised to rid the White House of spies and leakers. \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/blogs\/post-partisan\/wp\/2017\/07\/27\/the-most-appalling-line-in-scaramuccis-rant-contained-zero-profanity\/?utm_term=.af4840a7c153\" target=\"_blank\">Scaramucci, or the Mooch as he likes to be called, promptly gave a profanity laden tirade against the leakers saying Reince Priebus was a &#8220;f*cking paranoid schizophrenic&#8221; and Steve Bannon likes to &#8220;suck his own c*ck&#8221;<\/a>. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2017\/07\/28\/us\/politics\/reince-priebus-white-house-trump.html\" target=\"_blank\">He and Trump then promptly fired everyone&#8217;s favorite whipping boy, chief of staff, Reince Priebus<\/a>. \u00a0Then Priebus showed what a sycophantic putz he was by saying \u201cI\u2019m always going to be a Trump fan. I\u2019m on Team Trump, and I look forward to helping him achieve his goals and his agenda for the American people.\u201d Geez!

Ol&#8217; Moocher is gone.<\/a> Wow! And we thought Michael Flynn&#8217;s tenure was short. Apparently, John Kelly, who is a former Marine general, is a bit of an authoritarian. So he&#8217;ll fit in just fine with Trump&#8217;s authoritarian regime. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theatlantic.com\/politics\/archive\/2017\/07\/priebus-kelly\/535338\/\" target=\"_blank\">Will Kelly be an effective ringleader of this multi-ring clusterf*ck circus that is the Trump administration?<\/a>\u00a0Now we think Kelly is by far, a better choice than Priebus, but based on the six months of stunning ineptitude displayed so far, we&#8217;re kind of skeptical.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5596\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5596\" style=\"width: 500px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5596 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.bilgebucket.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/trumpscaramuccimoochcursing.jpg\" alt=\" World class profanity artist, Anthony Scaramucci, a.k.a. the Mooch, lasted just ten days as communications director before America's CEO\/Dictator fired him in true Trumpian fashion.\" width=\"500\" height=\"323\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.bilgebucket.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/trumpscaramuccimoochcursing.jpg 500w, http:\/\/www.bilgebucket.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/trumpscaramuccimoochcursing-300x194.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 85vw, 500px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5596\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">World class profanity artist, Anthony Scaramucci, a.k.a. the Mooch, lasted just ten days as communications director before America&#8217;s CEO\/Dictator gave him the ol&#8217; heave ho in true Trumpian fashion.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Back in 2006, when the Bush administration took a thumping in the November elections, we were of the opinion that there would never be a White House as screwed up as Bush&#8217;s.
