Every Wednesday, we bring you the most important and amusing news stories of the past week. This week: vamoose, Scaramouche.
- Indelegate is hip to what the kids are doing these days. Find us on Facebook and Twitter!
- President Donald Trump personally dictated his son Donald Trump Jr.’s deceptive statement on Russia, The Washington Post has revealed.
- New White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci, whose job is (was, actually – give me a second, though) literally to manage the press, called up a reporter to rant about leaks and accuse Steve Bannon of “trying to suck [his] own cock.”
- Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly is President’s new Chief of Staff. Reince who? Oh, Priebus – yeah, he’s fired. That was good news for new communications director Anthony Scaramucci, who hated Priebus, but that was just about the only good news the Mooch got this week, because:
- Scaramucci, we hardly knew thee. After only 10 days on the job, the President’s new communications director is now his ex-communications director.
- After helping keep Republican hopes of repealing Obamacare alive, swing voter John McCain killed them in dramatic fashion. It was so much fun.
- Deadspin set McCain’s vote to Jim Ross commentary. Jim Ross dubs are a running gag over there, but this may be the best one ever. “Don’t do it, John!”
- President Donald Trump told a bunch of Long Island police officers to rough up prisoners. The Suffolk County Police Department apologized for the President. Very normal stuff!
- Another group apologizing for the President this week: the Boy Scouts. What a time to be alive.
- But the President says the Scouts’ leader called him to tell him he gave “the greatest speech that was ever made to them.” Wow! But wait – the President apparently completely made that phone call up.
- Bernie Sanders is ramping up a national campaign to promote his upcoming single-payer healthcare bill, which has a snowball’s chance in hell of getting through both Republican houses. But the man knows what he likes, and he likes futile campaigns.
- Senator Jeff Flake (R-AZ) wrote an anti-Trump op-ed in Politico. Keep an eye on this guy.
