Scaramucci began his career at Goldman Sachs , where he worked from 1989 to 1996 and held positions in its Investment Banking, Equities, and Private Wealth Management divisions. Scaramucci left Goldman in 1996 to launch Oscar Capital Management with his colleague Andrew Boszhardt. In 2005, Scaramucci founded global investment firm SkyBridge Capital , serving as co-managing partner before selling the company in early 2017 to take a role in the Trump administration. Following the 2016 election, Scaramucci served on the Presidential-Transition Team Executive Committee. On January 12, 2017, President-elect Trump announced his intent to appoint Scaramucci Director of the White House Office of Public Liaison and Intergovernmental Affairs . Scaramucci's swearing-in was reportedly delayed by an extended review of his finances by the Office of Government Ethics , although the ethics office denied that clearance was necessary before making White House appointments. Ultimately, George Sifakis was appointed instead.

@aadam101: I'd be more interested in seeing the laptops of the Trump children.  Jr already lied to the FBI and I'm sure he is preparing his lies for next weeks Congress testimony. Lies about what? If you are talking about some nonsensical worthless meeting.. go plant your turnip in a minefield. How about that 30 minute private meeting that Bill Clinton had with Attorney General Loretta Lynch?   Why don't you bitch about that for a change? "It's not an investigation.. it's a matter".. pfffftt!!!

Trump rulez.. ;D

I guess that all US presidents have to follow a certain guidance by US agencies..

If socialized medicine is no better when it comes to death panels, then why demand the US switch? Umm, without private insurance, waiting times in the UK are very long.  Hospitals and clinics come up with creative ways to help meet targets, such as giving people appointments, then cancelling them and labelling the person as "socially unavailable", meaning they don't want to come it because it interferes with their lifestyle and whatnot. Umm, you are being dishonest.  Your link is about specialists, not normal GPs. Also, you ignored the bit where they said that part of the reason waiting times are getting longer is because pretty much everyone has health insurance now under Obamacare. In the UK (last month I think), the news full of articles about not having enough dermatologists to meet demand, so appointments are nearly impossible to get.  The same goes for countless other specialties. If I didn't have private insurance, I would have died a decade ago due to a mismanaged ear infection that was raging and causing extreme pain, but the NHS system wasn't designed to deal with it. I also have permanent nerve damage in both hands because it took so long to get referred when the NHS was telling GPs not to refer people unless absolutely needed.  In fact, they were giving GPs bonus payments for reducing the number of people they refer to specialists. As a bass player, it really sucks having reduced use of my hands and hearing.  All caused by the NHS. +++++ Another thing that makes the NHS suck ass, is that under the law, it's nearly impossible to sue for even the most blatant malpractice.

@aadam101: Trump is the worlds greatest dealmaker…....

:hmmm:

@flozen: When you look at Trump's agenda… including his crazed efforts to leave 32 million (more) uninsured... ...accomplishing next-to-nothing IS the best accomplishment one might hope for!

**Welcome to the Putin-Trump era! :love:**

@aadam101: Once again, Donald Trump has been defeated.  His plan to gut the EPA is dead.  He wanted to cut it by 32%.  Congress is only allowing a 6.5% cut. SAD! http://www.motherjones.com/environment/2017/07/trumps-big-plan-for-a-tiny-epa-is-already-dead/ Trump seems to have power and a lot of enemies!

@Frederick: In fact, they cheapest health care plans (which still cost a fortune) cover virtually nothing but the most basic things that don't cost a lot anyway. Actually it's just the opposite.  Hospitals are doing much better and becoming profitable again because of the ACA.  They no longer have to provide as much uncompensated care because people have insurance and those insurers are picking up the tab. http://www.fiercehealthcare.com/finance/hospitals-see-boosted-revenue-under-aca-but-cut-spending-charity-care-report

The US has a similar problem that the UK has. Welfare has created a culture of entitlement. We have Lithuanians picking our fruit and countless other jobs because Brits won't. Jaywick is supposed to be the most deprived area of the UK with 85+% unemployment.  A sandwich factory moved there specifically to help the area out.  Needless to say, only a few Brits wanted the jobs and they had to import workers from eastern Europe.

@mhorndisk: It was intended to defame him but backfired! LOL, yep it backfired.

@Frederick: The change of course is suspicious if that cargo ship made a course change 10 minutes before impact and hit the destroyer. I think this course change actually turned out to be a U-turn which the cargo ship made 30 minutes after the collision. The initial reports got the time of impact wrong. @Frederick: Could it be that the cargo ship intentionally made a course change to ram the destroyer? From the position of the people on the bridge of the cargo ship, as long as the destroyer was appearing to them to be left of their centerline, they were legally obligated to [desc=If the other crossing vessel is in your port sector, then you are the Stand On vessel, and you ought not slow down or change course.]stand on[/desc] without changing course or speed. This would only change if the destroyer suddenly appeared to the right of their centerline, in which case evasive action would be required to avoid a collision. Evasive is a misnomer because it takes >10 minutes to make a meaningful course correction in cargo ships of that size. If I'm the ship in the diagram below then I should expect every ship I pass to stay to my left. As long as they stay there, I can continue full speed ahead. If their plan is to cross in front of me, this changes only their obligations in the passing—not mine. I would remain, from their point of view, to the right of their centerline, where they are obliged to [desc=If the other crossing vessel is in your starboard sector, then you are the Give Way vessel, and you must stop or slow down.]give way[/desc]. Those ships would be seeing my red light, which is a stop sign for them. I would be seeing their green light telling me I am free to 'Go'. Since we know the destroyer was hit on its starboard side, this green light was what they were displaying to the cargo ship — all while dashing in front of them. [image: 1781654009636-e15a12e8d00c.webp] Interestingly enough this is the same location where the Andrea Doria was hit—on its starboard side. If you have a ship passing you on the starboard side and you don't give way then you are inviting the collision—because your green light is telling the other ship to "Keep on Movin Dont Stop."

Because unlike you, I try to avoid spam while you try to create as much as possible. :police:  Because these 2 stories are so unrelated, they should be separate threads.  :police:

@amicusets: @royalcrown89: @pppucci: Unless he actually does go out on 5th avenue and shoot someone, he won't be impeached by this Congress. If the Democrats win back the House in 2018, that is a different story.  Even under those circumstances, he would never be convicted in the Senate.67 Senators would have to vote to convict, a very high bar indeed. I believe the Republicans will abandon him if his unpopularity brings them down far enough. There will come a point where they no longer defend him out of fear that they will lose everything. He is more popular and has better approval ratings than the GOP in the House or Senate. What I predict is that we will see a lot of new faces elected in 2018, they just will be fresh Republican faces to unseat the old ones. That's not saying much, they're in the 18-22% approval range and he's in the 32-36% approval range. Also, you're leaving out the millions of people who did not vote but DO NOT want him as their president. People who sat it out because they thought Hillary would win, they will turnout to make sure he's stopped next year if he's not removed by then. Republicans are doomed and they know it, which is why they're throwing anything at the wall to see what sticks. Either way, I still believe he'll be removed from office just as Allan Lichtman, who is never wrong, predicted. He predicted the win and he's has also predicted the impeachment and removal. There's no way the Republicans will sink with this president. They'll throw him under the bus to save themselves the moment collusion is proven or Mueller finds something incriminating enough. It still won't help them. The president ran and won as a Republican and he's unpopular with the MAJORITY of Americans just like the Republican party is, which means once he is impeached he will not have the support of the people to help him; only the flimsy number of people (~77,000) that helped him win the electoral college.

Breitbart is the voice of reason. It's a world gone mad.

@Frederick: @aadam101: Exactly. We need all three. We do need single payer. I'm glad we agree on something. I hope you realize that a significant number of people will oppose any changes - even if they benefit them - just out of fear.  That Obamacare is a failure.  I'm afraid that it must be either repealed before it collapses completely, or - as it looks like what will actually happen - is that it will collapse completely.  In cold political terms.. I think the number of people who would be thrilled to not be required to purchase health care plans that they don't want  outnumber the people who would be pissed off about it. One more thing to consider.. the VA system of healthcare is a disaster.   That being the case, why should we expect that the federal government can manage healthcare for the entire population?  The federal government.. and really all levels of government.. are terrible at managing anything.  This country was built upon the premise of free-markets and competition.   When you impose subsidies, grants, insurance, etc.   The whole system fails. Are you implying no funding for Veterans? Wow you ultra conservatives really want to save every penny.

There will be no women nominated to the Supreme Court as long as Trump is in charge…..well not unless her family runs Amway or something.
