.6 Scaramuchis

I guessed it

Scaramuchi = 11 days, Zachamuchi = 7 days

[-] ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.world 69 points 3 days ago

Zacharia to Scaramuchi: "Look at me. I'm the measurement of incompetence now!"

[-] TryingToBeGood@reddthat.com 20 points 3 days ago

He apparently said records are made to be broken.

[-] ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.world 16 points 3 days ago

Yeah, he's probably relieved about it.

[-] TryingToBeGood@reddthat.com 15 points 3 days ago

But we’re still going to use “mooches.”😁😁

Impressive since most thought a Scaramuchi was a fundamental unit

I thought a Scaramucci was 10 or 11 days, depending on whether you use the metric or imperial Scaramucci.

[-] bstix@feddit.dk 28 points 3 days ago

The Scaramucci is a complex number, because while he might have worked 11 days, he got fired before his contract started, so his total days of employment is weirdly negative.

Also he missed the birth of one of his children and got served divorce papers in those same days.

I think we can all learn something important from the amazing fuck up that Scaramucci achieved in such short time: Don't do coke.

Americans will measure with anything but the Metric system…

[-] boaratio@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

She was press secretary for 0.3 hamburgers. That's like less than a one hundredth of a monster truck.

[-] MotherReckless@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 days ago

1/100 Monster Truck ≈ 72 deflated footballs.

As Jimmy Kimmel said: what do Pete Hegseth and Katie Zacharia have in common? Neither of them can pass the bar.

[-] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 112 points 3 days ago

She was so excited at that press conference, saying how happy she was to be working for Trump.

I'm so pleased that this probably broke her heart. For the rest of her scummy life, she'll always be remembered for being one of the most incompetent people among the the most incompetent people ever in the history of the US government.

[-] troybot@piefed.social 18 points 3 days ago

Not sure if she's capable of understanding any of this if you factor in the Dunning–Kruger effect.

Looks like he has two of those real dolls set up in there. Maybe too much teeth, though.

Wait a minute, all those promises of sex bots being made? Is the primary audience donnie? He loves Grok, too. It would make so much sense.

[-] BillyClark@piefed.social 19 points 3 days ago

I once won tickets to see a variety show in Vegas, and it had topless women chorus line dancing between acts. If you had asked me before then whether I'd prefer a variety show with topless women or without, I'd have said, "With, please." But that would have been wrong.

I swear, they all had the same desperate fake smile as Katie Zacharia in that picture, and they all were pushing out their chests with their bolt-on tits as hard as they could. I remarked to my date that all of the dancers seemed extremely motivated to display the most fake parts of their bodies, as I'm guessing their teeth were all fake, too.

It was all extremely off-putting, like they were all victims of human trafficking. I admit I couldn't stop looking, either. It was sort of like looking at a car crash if all the victims had their fake tits out.

On the other hand, the variety act itself was extremely entertaining.

But anyways, based on Katie Zacharia's smile in that picture, I can't help but remember that very odd experience. One of the reasons I don't like Vegas.

At this rate they are going end up with Stephen Miller in a blond wig and huge tits.

LOL. Dear god.

I still cannot believe the before and after pictures of her, though. Hooooooly shit.

Just when I thought nobody could break The Mooch's record, we get a new unit of measurement for White House tenure.

[-] meco03211@lemmy.world 18 points 3 days ago

What are we calling this new unit? A Zachariah? A Zack? KZ? Conversion is simple enough. 2 Zacks equal 1 Mooch.

Her only press conference was about 15 minutes long. It sounds like she burned up all of her allotted 15 minutes of fame in one go.

[-] Uranus_Hz@lemmy.zip 9 points 2 days ago

Seemed like she could barely read.

You cannot do a whole-ass head of lettuce with this administration. Pre-chopped bags from the recall left open on the counter is the only fair fight.

[-] lemmylump@lemmy.world 12 points 3 days ago

So diarrhea lettuce.

Gee i wonder what the next fascist spokesbarbie’s gonna look like.

[-] neidu4@piefed.social 18 points 3 days ago

Well, we all know what she's gonna look like... he certainly has a type.

[-] WanderWisley@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago

She didn’t even last half a Scaramucci.

[-] ChunkMcHorkle@lemmy.world 17 points 3 days ago

As a paragraph in itself, around the middle when it started getting into the weeds of why she is gone:

She was not a deft communicator.

The outsized understatement is still smoking. Never change, NYT.

[-] Mulligrubs@lemmy.world 14 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

I've lost track, is this number four?

This is the Trump administration. Just have an AI Super American Eagle do the press releases. He can have catchy phrases and wear a red-white-and-blue top hat. And a monocle!

Nailed it, I win mods close thread

[-] pachrist@lemmy.world 21 points 3 days ago

Nope. Said AI instead of SI. ICE is already surrounding your location.
