He was there just long enough to acquire the information needed at that level.
I just made that up, but you have to wonder what’s really going on with these fucks.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- 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.

- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Remember the last acting agent before this guy (sp four days ago) was Melanie Krause.
She stepped down rather than allow Americans private IRS filing data to be given to ICE. Scott bessett and Kristi noem signed that agreement without her knowing. She found out because it was on Fox News that the data had been given over. Again not clear that it was at all legal to do so.
Three days with this mini-mooch interim guy had at least one goal: (1) make the IRS remove Harvard’s statuses. He did that on day 1 of 3.
But possibly (2) could be just long enough to have approved other stuff that the serious acting admins wouldn’t do. Such as: additional data exfiltration by doge, more layoffs, or other sweeping decisions for political purposes…
Well, he's tried to remove Harvard's statuses, but that's going to go to the courts very soon. And I have no idea how that's going to play out... It's not Harvard against Trump, it's every university in America against Trump.
A big part of it is that most of the people they put in charge of departments have no idea how those jobs are actually done. They have little to no background in the field, and think it can be done just like some cushy private CEO position where you basically "network" all day and just demand impossible things now and then.
Although there is a very good chance you're correct and that he just gathered up data that was handed over to ~~the gestapo~~ ICE.
How many scaramuccis is this?
3 days = 0.273 Scaramuccis or 0.068 Trusses
The republican adminstration really is at the forefront of these new units of measure.
27 centimooches or 68 millitrusses.
I think the centimoochi is my new favourite measure.
1 cmooch (pronounced 'smooch')=0.11 days/2.64hrs/9504s
Damn, you know you fucked up when we have to start breaking up mooches and trusses into smaller units.
Anything but metric.
The lettuce is so much longer lived.
I know that both are standard units of time, but I'm still sad to see Scaramucci lumped in with Truss like this.
What was he blowing the whistle on hunter biden exactly, a non governmental and not political person?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gary_Shapley
Shapley publicly alleged that the Department of Justice had "slow-walked" the investigation into the younger Biden in an interview with CBS News in May 2023.
But if Musk installed him then he's probably a corrupt piece of shit
Kinda sounds like he sucked hunter biden’s dick.
Must have ended bitterly.
I see what you did there. Naughty, naughty.
Seems like a pretty personal and intimate act.
I wish I was Rich Enough to INSTALL A GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL WHO OVERSEES MY TAXES!
