I believe she made it .4661 Scaramucci
That's not very Scaramucho!
that's a very precise number.
Damn that was quick. Both the update and her tenure.
The lettuce wins again
There was never any doubt
So a Zacharia is 1/2 a Mooch?
Or about 1/8 of a Truss.
Damn you beat me to it. It wasn’t the lying or being a complete psychophant that got her ousted in 0.5 muches…it was a poor performance of the lies.
Did you just coin a new portmanteau,
Psychopath + Sycophant = Psychophant?
I love it, and this administration is filled with opportunities to use it.
LOL. I started typing psychopath and the ln changed my mind mid way…to sycophant and just didn’t want to hit backspace….autocorrect was lazy so just said fuck it and moved on. May turn that into a tshirt though.
Less. 5/11
Holy shit. The lettuce won.
BREAKING NEWS, WE"VE GOT A NEW UNIT OF TIME FOR TRUMP APPOINTEES: THE ZACHARIA
1 Zacharia < 1 Scaranucci
Or 1 Zacharia is about 1/2 Scaramuccis
The lettuce wins again
What's this reference?
Liz Truss,UK Prime Minister: a tabloid ran a live video stream of "will she outlast this lettuce". The lettuce won after Truss was defenestrated after 49 days
Appreciate it!
Trump did not initially think Zacharia’s performance at her first press briefing was as bad as some of his advisers had, two sources familiar with the discussions said. However, her interviews that followed — specifically her Thursday night appearance on Fox News with Sean Hannity — and conversations he subsequently had with his allies convinced him that it was untenable for her to remain in the role, they added.
Lol. Forgot to blow Hannity. Even Spicer knew that much.
Hands her a picture of ivanka, I want you to be her, dance on this pole then suck my little mushroom dick and change my diaper.
That's your new role, Ivanka 2.
"I'm your daughter! I'm your daughter!"
I'm amazed they even considered a woman. Pretty much every other female appointment has stepped down or been fired. At least they're consistent in they're misogyny.
Women and minorities are ablative armor to him.
It felt like Huckabee did it for years.
It’s a tradtoad position.
But he made clear he did not believe Zacharia was suited to speak on his behalf as the government’s top spokesperson.
“Maybe it’s not for her,” he conceded.
Super-clear. Thanks CNN
Is she going to be gone faster than The Mooch?
0.8 scarramoochis apparently
Dang. Not even half a mooch.
You didn’t even cover the spread, magaface!
