Wow, what a weird tweet. Such a clear narcissistic symptom. To me he is so obviously mentally unhealthy

Trump has all the symptoms of the first stages of Alzheimer's.

Scaramucci has tweeted multiple times about increasing gun control in the U.S. In August 2012, he tweeted, and has since deleted, "We (the USA) has 5% of the world's population but 50% of the world's guns. Enough is enough. It is just common sense it apply more controls(.)"
On July 8, 2015, he tweeted, “Daily liquidity in alts = keeping a gun in home. Illusion of security, but more likely to cause you harm.†That tweet was deleted but it has been archived on the Trump Twitter Archive. The Wayback Machine did not archive this tweet.
In that tweet, he also linked to an article he wrote about daily liquidity and alternative investments that begins with the line, “Daily liquidity in alternative investments is like keeping a gun in your home – it might provide the illusion of security but statistics show it’s more likely to cause you harm.â€
Trump is a strong supporter of gun rights -- in Atlanta in April, he told National Rifle Association members that he “will never, ever infringe on the right of the people to keep and bear arms.â€
In December 2015, Scaramucci tweeted (and has since deleted) a photo of the Berlin Wall preserved in the Newseum in Washington and wrote, “Walls don't work. Never have never will. The Berlin Wall 1961-1989 don't fall for it.â€
Building a “big, beautiful wall†along the United States-Mexico border was one of Trump’s key campaign promises.
Financier Anthony Scaramucci accepts Trump offer to head White House communications
Scaramucci once had some not-so-nice things to say about Trump
Scaramucci has also in the past voiced his feelings on climate change.
In February 2016, he retweeted an Associated Press article titled, "The heat goes on: Earth sets 9th straight monthly record." In his tweet, he wrote, "(D)on't stand on the wrong side of history #climatechange". Then, in March 2016, he tweeted, “You can take steps to combat climate change without crippling the economy. The fact many people still believe CC is a hoax is disheartening.†That tweet has now been deleted.
Most recently, in December, he tweeted, “No matter your view on climate science, we can take common sense steps that spur econ growth & US energy security w/out harming environment.†This tweet has not been deleted.
I've never understood the big hangup people have with politicians changing positions. People change minds. I'd be more worried about a politician who never changes her views.
And this guy...his job is not to sell us his judgment. It's to tell the world what the white house is doing and thinking. Do I care what his personal view on guns is? No.
I have absolutely no problem with a politician having positions that change and evolve. Sacramucci changed all his positions pretty much overnight. He puts selling above honesty and personal values. He is smooth and likable which makes him a convincing liar.

Notice how Scaramucci is essentially a smarter, better looking, more likeable version of Don Jr? He's like the son that Trump wishes he had.

Maybe. It's more likely he's complaining they haven't taken an oath of fealty to Donny.
Buried in the Friday afternoon news no one reads:
Sessions did talk about the Trump campaign with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak
More lies....

to be fair, it's not clear how we know that. reports cite a convo between kislyak and someone in mother russia. Could easily be disinformation, meant to throw even more chaos into US politics.
but the stories about the incident hint there is more info.

You're a silly, silly person.
This is key. Trump has convinced himself his whole life that he created a real estate empire from scratch, never mind what the underlying financial situation may be. He knows he will be president for at most 7 more years, but legacies are forever. If his real financial situation is exposed, it would destroy what he believes is a great legacy. I think he would prefer to leave the WH then for that to happen.

http://www.businessinsider.com/trump-mueller-red-line-finances-2017-7I wonder why he is the only presidential candidate in the modern era not to release his tax returns? He seems very sensitive about that issue. I wonder why that might be?
Kushner's turn today. Apparently he agreed to having any part of the transcript made publicly available, if deemed appropriate. Nothing to hide right! haha

I wonder if that means he can lie with impunity.
Unlike Trump, Kushner does seem to be getting excellent legal representation. You never hear him speak publicly. He has been very careful throughout all of this. He probably learned a lot from his father's dirty dealings and subsequent conviction.
Trump being president is almost as good as Hitler winning WWII.

lying to congress is a crime
Q: What are the rules about lying to Congress?
A: Glad you asked. If you are testifying in front of Congress sometime soon, and are wondering how far you can bend the truth, there are a two key statutes governing perjury you need to be aware of: U.S. Code sections 1621 and 1001 of Title 18.
Section 1621 covers general perjury, and stipulates that anyone who "willfully and contrary to such oath states or subscribes any material matter which he does not believe to be true" is guilty of perjury and shall be fined or imprisoned up to five years, or both. Section 1001 covers false statements more generally, without requiring an oath. The section stipulates that "whoever, in any matter within the jurisdiction of the executive, legislative, or judicial branch of the government of the United States, knowingly and willfully" falsifies or conceals information, including before a congressional committee's inquiry, may also be fined or imprisoned up to five years.
Kushner can lie with impunity even if he is under oath.
He'll just get pardoned.

Its all irrelevant. They all have the safety net of the pardon....no worries, no risk. They can say anything.
Not under oath = lie through his teeth, only for NYT and WaPo to sprinkle contradictory information to the public in the near futureHe has to be careful, he knows Trump won't come to his aid when $hit hits the fan

Unfortunately lying is the new standard since Trump took office. His continued voter support confirms many don't mind lying and conniving. In other news - new sanctions measures by Congress in retaliation of Russia's meddling in our election. Republican politicians have admitted it happened and are involved in drafting legislation in response, yet Trumpkins still deny it happened.

Kushner says he walked in late, missing the dirt the Russian intel agents threw at HRC. Kush says he knew nothing of the subject line of the email. Kushner puts the whole thing on Jr.
In other words, and this is the major, major point that I'll put in caps because it is very important:
TRUMPERS AT THE HIGHEST LEVELS ARE STARTING TO TURN ON EACH OTHER
This will end very very badly for the Trump admin. If they don't hang together, they will hang separately.

Better stop watching CNN...
Tune in FOX and get some reality....
yes, the CIA, FBI, NSA, House, Senate and Special Counsel are each wrong to investigate. Just because Junior admitted to being excited about the opportunity to collude with Russian intel agents, and just because many trumpers somehow all forgot about meeting with Russian intel agents and lied on their security clearance forms...that means nothing.
Better to watch Fox and believe nothing happened. Trust in Trump. He is an honest fellow.
We continually have been getting new evidence of discussions between Trump's campaign and Russian officials.
And no one has doubted that Russia interfered with US communications and social networking during the election.
Beating a dead horse would be Trump's investigation of Obama's birthplace which never had new evidence.
