    Wait… HOW many days was he there again? How is that suffering, or surviving for that matter?

    My grandnana always said it was good luck to throw two pinches of mooch over you shoulder when sitting down.

        Holy cow, I completely forgot about Spicer. We’ve lived through a century in this past decade.

    Does it count as “surviving” if you make it less than two weeks at the job?

      Is he on trial for anything related to his 2 weeks?

        I mean, fair. I’m not criticizing him for not sticking around, I just don’t know that “survive” is an accurate term.

      Two weeks around Trump cronies does sound like it’d feel like eternity, though I doubt any of them would make a single Scaramucci in fast food or anything at minimum wage. I may lower some of my morals for less but not as low to be working for Trump for any paycheque.

      For the shortest tenures (or close) in the Trump administration it’s amusing how well known he is just by political durations being measured by his employment.

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
