Name-calling in the Trumposphere.

We all know that Trump used name-calling (at least during the campaign) to get the better of his rivals, mostly by attaching a relatively ordinary adjective to the first name: "low-energy Jeb," "little Marco." Trump would repeat his chosen phrase until it stuck in your head.

Scaramucci is like Trump, but a step beyond. He's using name-calling, but it's not presented for public consumption. It just (somehow!) leaks out. And what leaks out is so nasty that: 1. It supports the claim that it was never intended to be heard by the general public, and 2. You only need to hear it once to get it stuck in your head.

What am I talking about? According to a HuffPo source in the White House, Scaramucci called Reince Priebus "Rancid Penis."

And then there is Scaramucci's notorious sideswipe of Steve Bannon: "I’m not Steve Bannon, I’m not trying to suck my own cock." It's not name-calling, per se. (No adjective attached to the name.) It's not even a direct insult, since he's talking about himself. You have to make an inference to get to Steve Bannon is trying to suck his own cock. But this is a characterization of Steve Bannon that only needs to be heard once to become unforgettable.

Some people think Trump is his own parody. No exaggeration needed to lampoon him. Just look at him as he is. Amazingly, Scaramucci shows the parody level that could be used by a Trump lampooner. But Scaramucci is doing it in real life and in service to Trump. We don't need a comedian to show us the leap from this service to Trump to sucking Trump's cock. (Remember the quaint old days of acting horrified that a comedian called Trump a "cock holster"?) Scaramucci has already said it about himself.

Trial lawyers understand the principle of primacy. The first person to establish a phrase in the jury';s mind 'Little Marco', "Lying Ted"--or in the Mooch's case "Rancid Penis" is well on the way to winning his or her case.

As for Scaramucci, he talks like a foul mouthed Brooklyn street person and seems to have a bit of penis envy.

He might mean that Bannon is trying to suck Scaramucci's cock, which could be wishful thinking.

It may be to do away with the fake pose of being horrified as a working position.

It cuts out the newsbabes.

Kate said...

I'm not going to google to double check, but I'm pretty sure "Rancid Penis" has been around for awhile.

Like Trump, Mooch will learn that once you join Team GOP the press and every NY friend he had now reviles him. It's very good for the powerful to become deplorables. Our injustice becomes theirs, and they have the prestige to fight back. The vulgar name-calling is far down on my outrage list.

sykes.1 said...

The 60 million Trump supporters don't care about Trump's behavior or Mooche's; they see him as a last chance to save their country. If the Deep State/neocons/Dems/GOPe remove him from office or, quite likely, kill him, this country will become ungovernable. While we won't see armies marching across the countryside and fighting pitched battles, I would expect to see assassinations and guerrilla actions in all States. No politician or journalist or entertainer or civil servant or judge or financier or crony capitalist will be safe.

PS. Scaramucci's wife has filed for a divorce because she hates Trump. She is a total dog. It is a mystery why Scaramucci, whose SMV is now very high, kept her this long.

Breezy said...

Yes, how great it is to have a lot of name calling going on in the White House. My plea would be for them to focus on the agenda, not what's in their pants.

William said...

I don't care if Scaramucci uses profanity. Social norms on that kind of behavior have sadly deteriorated, due in large part to the efforts of those who hate Trump the most. The left has championed and normalized virtually every form of transgressive behavior ever since Lenny Bruce took the stage. Now everyone's panties are in a wad because this guy uses some foul language? Please.

If he can find, get rid of, and perhaps even get prosecution of administration leakers then he is aces in my book.

traditionalguy said...

But please remember the Harvard Law Mooch can also act like a Presidential Communications Director whenever he wants to, but he also does his WWF-Trump role of a Jesuit educated, direct at you Mafia Wop, which is just a character actor job.

The Dimms will never compete with PT Barnum-Trump's greatest American Show on Earth. Although they do control the Senate now.

Lloyd W. Robertson said...

I remember someone--I think a woman--reviewing the series "Veep," and sniffily saying something like: people in show business may express themselves like that, but I'm sure responsible public officials do not. From my limited experience, this is pretty naive. My son and I now compare notes on how the politics in the news is getting ever more Veep-like. If something goes wrong, and frankly the politician/leader is far from perfect, there is always a staff member who should be fired. In this constantly panic-stricken, demoralizing atmosphere, it is natural in a way to be constantly f-bombing each other. Still, I agree with our host on calling out "civility bullshit": the fact that people express themselves directly, even crudely (calling a spade a fucking shovel) does not in itself mean they are bad (or good) at their jobs. We want to look up to leaders, but we shouldn't mistake illusions for analysis. I tend to think Trump's staff needed a shake-up, and he's doing a reasonable job in general.

Fabi said...

Thank you Ralph L -- I'll add it to my LOA.

Alike in abrasiveness (not so sure about crudeness, maybe). But to answer your question: political experience.

David Begley said...

1. I really object to this language as it further degrades our already low culture.

2. Supposedly Rahm Emanuel used the same type of language but it was never reported. Surprise!

3. This guy, Mooch, will only continue the drama and controversy in the WH. Bad!

4. Mooch adds to the narrative that the MSM and Dems can continue to use that Trump is chaos and unpresidential. This hurts him on the margin.

5. This New York attitude doesn't play well in many states with voters. That was one thing I was concerned about with Trump from the beginning of the campaign.

6. Nice analysis by Althouse.

Loser Trump

It's all downhill for Loser Trump now.

Undoing regulations with EO's is not difficult.
Passing bills through Congress is difficult and Trump lost the Trumpcare vote.
Tax reform aka tax cuts for the rich won't happen because the money was going to come from passing Trumpcare.
The Wall? Dream on.
$1 trillion dollar Infrastructure bill? Who are you kidding.

And, that is why Trump is whining on Twitter this morning about changing the Congress filibuster rules from 60 to 51 because he knows nothing is going to pass through Congress now.

LOSER TRUMP

Birkel said...

I agree with David Begley. Trump has lost the Footloose voting bloc.

goddessoftheclassroom said...

Mr. Scaramucci did not make these remarks in public, nor did he publish them himself--just as Mr. Trump did with the infamous "grab" comment.

I am more outraged at the lack of honor displayed by those publishing someone else's comments. The press has descended to gossip-mongers, who, if I recall correctly, ultimately reside in one of Dante's circles of hell.

Actually the"Bannon sucking his own cock" was made during an on the record interview with a reporter. So the mooch has Noone to blame but himself.

Michael said...

Bill Clinton did not have to even try to suck his own cock. His legal wife apparently has a foul mouth herself.

cronus titan said...

THe first comment in the thread (from Comanche Voter) stated:

"As for Scaramucci, he talks like a foul mouthed Brooklyn street person and seems to have a bit of penis envy."

As someone who grew up a Brooklyn street person, I take issue with this. Mooch's language is consistent with what I heard from guys from the 'burbs (Mooch is from Long Island, but Jersey guys were the same way) who acted like a caricature they created of Brooklyn. THey were fake tough guys who regularly announced how tough they were, yet those of us who were from Brooklyn saw right through the phony toughness. We ridiculed them mercilessly until they knocked it off.

I recall one instance of a guy from Long Island talking like Mooch did. He ended up in a locker and told he could come out when he was ready to shut up.

This New York attitude doesn't play well in many states with voters. That was one thing I was concerned about with Trump from the beginning of the campaign.

It was a problem with Christie as a national candidate. Not the language but the attitude.

Trump is doing things people like, such as canceling regulations and appointing people who fire employees at the VA.

Illegal immigration is down and there is talk of merit-based immigration law.

McCain made himself a focus of the failure of Obamacare repeal and that will help Trump and Congress.

The Democrat-Pakistani-ISI scandal is about to blow sky high and that will absorb some attention.

Russia is slipping as a serious issue and the Nork missile tests are rising as an issue.

The Democrats are abusing every Congressional tradition, like "blue slips" and hearings on appointees. That has to end.

Bill, Republic of Texas said...

Ah yes, I'm old enough to remember when Dems were using foul language to show how fucking pissed off they were at Trump.

You see the bad language showed their anger was genuine. At least that is what the focus groups said.

Wince said...

Rush Limbaugh has been the master of this for decades, and people across the spectrum of radio try to emulate him.

Years ago on Boston public radio "Jim and Marge," Jim introduced then GOP chairman Reince Priebus as "something you do in the shower," presumably "rinse pubis."

Everyone had a laugh, including Reince Priebus, who I'm sure had heard it all before.

It's the name I've had in the back of my head ever since, not necessarily in a negative way, but a Rush Limbaugh jocular way.

Fits way better than "Rancid Penis."

Seriously. This is so true. The left has degraded society on all levels.... and NOW they want to complain that others are being 'vulgar'. The vile "Nasty Woman Speech" in public by Ashley Judd is supposed to be ok? and Scaramucci's common street language in a private setting isn't? Give me a break.

The pearl clutching offended act like they have never been around any of the common deplorables. I suggest they go to a biker bar, hang out with a construction crew, a logging crew, go drinking with some career sailors and hear how the regular people, who voted for Trump actually speak.

Whether some schlub in the White House throws out some crude insults is the last thing we are concerned about. The media going off on this just reinforces how useless and ridiculous they are.

clint said...

Theory: Scaramucci's real job description is to move the Overton window such that President Trump will appear more presidential without having to tone down his own speaking style.

Bleach Drinkers Curing Coronavirus Together said...

It was a problem with Christie as a national candidate. Not the language but the attitude.

Hahahahhaa. No it wasn't. How out of touch you are -- it amuses me.

Both Trump and Christie only care about themselves but Trump is a bit better at pretending to get passionate about the things that other people might actually need or care about. Trump also never directly insults constituents/voters, just other parties they rely on - the media, etc.

Plus, Christie is physically speaking a disgusting train wreck. Trump is plump, and a bit pasty. But so was Bill Clinton.

Christie failed lap-band surgery. He's gargantuan. People worry that he will either eat them, or sit on them.

He has no sense of self-control. Neither does Trump - but at least he confines that to his Twitter toy.

Christie is a disgusting, fat, slobbering, slob who can't even keep his ass in a chair without rolling out. You combine that with the Republican agenda of hating and depriving and not working for the people, and it's too obvious a disaster for even zombie Republican voters to agree to. And his sense of entitlement is so far off the charts it puts even Trump's to shame.

Michael K., everybody. Once again with his finger on the pulse of the people.

tcrosse said...

There's plenty of Street-Italian invective Scaramucci could use, but maybe he picked it up from watching The Sopranos instead of in the gutter. His JD from Harvard Law suggests that he's actually Lace Curtain.

I dunno. Kennedy gives me hope. Maybe one day Trump's own self-unawareness and entitlement will backfire on him so badly as to end up spewing self-pity at some of the best deserved backlash over his taking advantage of an otherwise public "luxury" that he deprived the voters.

It basically already happened with the health care fiasco, but so far he's getting more of a pass on that one than his tanking 30% approval ratings will show. But that will change. Trump might be a better learner than Christie, but not by much.

William said...

The difference between Rahm and Scarmucchi is that most reporters would treat Rahm's profanities with discretion and will publicize any such lapse ruthlessly if made by Scarmucchi. The fact that Scarmucchi doesn't know this simple fact is not a recommendation for his sagacity as a communications director,....... I like the show Veep. The participants in the show seem to take some pride in their obscenities. They really go to a lot of trouble to be inventive and original in their use of foul language. I've read that the show is extremely popular in Washington. I wonder if Scarmucchi was trying to emulate the characters on Veep or if the Veep writers are trying to mimic the patois of Washington power players.....It's a well known phenomenon that real life gangsters try to act like Hollywood gangsters. Chicken or the egg.

Scaramucky is the least of that pseudo-administration's problems. At least Drumpf finally has a guy who can get the message out in the way that he wants it. Let the chips fall where they may. Enough with the GOPe providing him cover and doing their usual shell game. From now on everything will be direct.

A Groper in Chief as slick as he thinks he is deserves nothing less.

You want to know something? Mucky's even classier, when you get right down to it. I actually really liked his interview with the WH driveway BBC reporter. He can actually be classy when he wants to, and doesn't get intimidated or rattled like the typical GOP liar Spicer does or as full of shit as Fat Huckababy Sanders does.

Jael (Gone Windwalking) said...

".. they really go to a lot of trouble to be inventive and original in their use of foul language .."

They've got it covered from foul to faux-academic.

Bat-shit Edward Luttwak using pretend psychedelic Fibonacci numbers about new car sales to justify sixteen year term for Imperial Trump.

Glad I once went through Posner's circuit to get Luttwak misdirection cleared up.

“If he asks you more than 3 questions, you better get used to the fact that you are the murderer.”

Bleach Drinkers Curing Coronavirus Together said...

American adults talk the way Mucky talks. Not always as often, maybe. But they're definitely not as afraid of that speech as the gentle lying flowers of the GOPe's water carriers (assembled here today) think they are.

He's a rough guy, with a rough agenda. He needs a direct speaker. One who's not so timid as to have to dress up the vulgarity that is Trump's agenda/presidency with non-vulgar language. As far as straight-shooters go, you could definitely get one a hell of a lot less classy than Scaramucci.

GOPe Trumpkinses talk about "rolling up their sleeves" and being straight shooters and they're fucking afraid of language. What a bunch of jokes.

tcrosse said...

The British show 'In the Thick of It' has a similar character, played by Peter Capaldi, who is a spectacularly vulgar Enforcer for a Cabinet Minister.

cronus titan said...

Interesting factoid: There is a valid comparison between Mooch and Rahm Emanuel regarding their comically foul mouths and general demeanors.

Both are under 5'8". Compensating?

Dust Bunny Queen said...

American adults talk the way Mucky talks. Not always as often, maybe

Exactly. Of course, there is a time and place for everything. I can swear with the best of them. But there are times you watch your language.

Each person consists of different personas that you "wear" for different occasions. You have your professional at work persona, the playing with your children persona, the going out and hanging with your buds at a bar after work, the person you are when you are around your grandmother, the person you are when you are getting sexually frisky with your spouse.

Those are all aspects of your total "self" and unless you are an Asperger's person who can't distinguish social settings or absorb the rules of society, you learn when to act or not to act.

That Scaramucci uses profanity, isn't really all that shocking. All politicians use profane words. BFD. They just don't get reported or caught doing it.

What is shocking and discouraging is that there seem to be spies and rat finks in the White House who are leaking inside information and reporting on private moments in order to damage the Administration. Those people should be knee capped ;-D and made into examples.

Mooch was a complete idiot. Either he failed to tell Lizza it was off the record or he did tell him that it was off the record and Lizza broke journalistic ethics. Why did Mooch trust an enemy at The New Yorker? Lizza is now frozen out, but he still has sources and he will get content. Lizza is a hero to the Progs.

The Democrats will soon have other things to worry about.

First the Pakistanis and second Fusion GPS.

Who the Russians were helping, for example.

What if, all this time, Washington and the media have had the Russia collusion story backward? What if it wasn’t the Trump campaign playing footsie with the Vladimir Putin regime, but Democrats? The more we learn about Fusion, the more this seems a possibility.

We know Fusion is a for-hire political outfit, paid to dig up dirt on targets. This column first outed Fusion in 2012, detailing its efforts to tar a Mitt Romney donor. At the time Fusion insisted that the donor was “a legitimate subject of public records research.”

Mr. Grassley’s call for testimony has uncovered more such stories.


Suddenly, the Democrats on Grassley's committee don't want public hearings. I wonder why ?

Assange has an interesting tweet.

He says the appointment of Kelly, Mattis, Dunford (chairman of the joint chiefs), a recognized clique apparently, is coup insurance vs, I assume, the hostile security services which Trump has been unable, so far, to dominate. I have no idea if there is substance here, but its interesting that Trump has been so careful to appoint senior military officers of a certain faction. In the old days Kremlinologists would have found this sort of thing very significant.

White house PR flacks and their antics, and the silliness of the press and the politicians, and certainly the words they use, is all theatrical superstructure, painted canvas over substantial objects. There are things going on under that smoke and fog that are, deliberately, made difficult to see. The two typical errors here are to a.) mistake the superstructure for substance; and b.) assume you know what the substance actually is.

Paranoia is a rational approach to this system where most power and wealth depend on the maneuverings of courtiers in an imperial capital.

buwaya said...

One important item out of all this, which one would think quite a few on both sides must have concluded by now -

The US intelligence and security apparatus has grown much too large and complex, and much too powerful for the health of the Republic, which isn't so hot anyway. It is extremely dangerous, it has been used on a large scale for domestic politics.

This was an ancient theme of the left, going back to the early days of the Cold War as it was part of the Soviet line. Understandable, they wanted to hamper the weapons of the other side. But the Cold War ended, and instead of being demobilized, massively reduced once their only mission was complete, these were expanded and given a vast and fuzzy remit. The predictable result is that these institutions seem to have adopted the purpose of simply being independent powers.

This sort of thing is also typical of the state power centers in the process of expansion and corruption of a bureaucratic state. A bureaucracy of spies is an especially dangerous one though.

Then we are going to find out who wrote the FISA affidavit based on the obviously fake evidence that democrats paid to have made.

Then we are going to find out who used those FISA warrants to spy on domestic political enemies.

Then we are going to find out who leaked the information that was gathered illegally to the press.

Then we are going to throw all the stalinists involved in the conspiracy in jail. There will be hundreds of democrats going to jail and many of them will be happy to out Obama and Hillary in order to get lighter sentences.

Enjoy.

Kevin said...

"But the Cold War ended, and instead of being demobilized, massively reduced once their only mission was complete, these were expanded and given a vast and fuzzy remit."

The shift to spying on the American people - the biggest threat to the swamp once the USSR imploded - was a natural extension of the bureaucracy. These people are nothing if not self-preservationists.

And for that matter, you aren't too much further from that if you do business in China - well, that is, dealing with people you could call Chinese mobsters, or somehow closely connected. And closely connected with government entities.

The reason why sea levels are falling is because T-Rumpers are holding in all their accumulated edemic-effluent crack-skull retained bodily fluids - water on the brain – covered externally, and thinly by their chants, “Trump is smart!, Look how smart! He’s really smart!”

T-Rump is so smart he’s got them faked out.

When T-Rumpers finally get the Fleet, the Super Fleet, and the Kong Sized Seventh Fleet - enemas that they all need, then sea levels will rise. And poor Guam!

I really don’t think the Joint Chiefs will let T-Rump out of his containment moat. And do too much harm. Which portends the myth-of-the-Man, John McCain’s return, just in dramatas time, to pay T-Rump the doo respects that he really deserves. His Fleet Enema.

That’s what really happened there. McCain returns. And T-Rump really does not – does not - have the numbers skills (he does not) necessary to know what’s going on. He’s in the containment moat. Splashing.

I’m sick of covering for him. Been there. Done that. Game done.

Dear DBQ,

That Scaramucci uses profanity, isn't really all that shocking. All politicians use profane words. BFD. They just don't get reported or caught doing it.

What is shocking and discouraging is that there seem to be spies and rat finks in the White House who are leaking inside information and reporting on private moments in order to damage the Administration. Those people should be knee capped ;-D and made into examples.

7/29/17, 10:24 AM

And people who kneecap people are the type of people who say fuck, shit, cocksucker, schizo, etc. This was just a sincere, candid, New York-inflected paraphrase on "No More Mr. Nice Guy."

I don't understand why people react so to the criticisms the Trump administration makes. If you want someone to do better, you tell them what they're doing wrong. Some would say, In private, but evidently today there is no private, so why try? Sessions, for instance, should definitely improve his performance if he wants to stay in his place or any other.

(I think Sessions would be great as DHS Secy. Right in his wheelhouse, I expect he would enforce the shizznit out of the borders, and no need to recuse about anything unless a lot of Russians are overstaying their visas or walking south from Canada.

How will Gen. Kelly do at greasing the nominations process, I wonder? Guess he will have had some experience from the inside.

The truth about Wasserman Schultz is starting to leak out.

I wonder how long it will be before she leaves Congress ?

Wasserman Schultz employed Pakistani-born Awan and his wife Hina Alvi, and refused to fire either of them even after U.S. Capitol Police said in February 2017 that they were targets of the criminal investigation. She said police wouldn’t show her evidence against the couple and, without it, she assumed they might be victims of anti-Muslim profiling.

Awan booked a round-trip ticket to Pakistan in July and planned to depart Monday, July 24 with a return ticket in six months. He was arrested at Dulles Airport during his attempt to leave.

The Associated Press reported that Awan’s lawyer, Chris Gowen, said Awan “had informed the House of his plans to visit his family.”
