 "Censored/blocked" after posting on the Washington Post stories linking the NRA to Kremlin bankers and Trump, hours until the shutdown of the Federal Government.

Washington Post:  METAPHORS, "to shiv" to get in close to do damage.

" Kellyanne Conway, a counselor to the president, described the leaks that Scaramucci was ranting about as “people using the press to shiv each other in the ribs.”

"In the expletive-filled interview with the New Yorker, Scaramucci presented himself as someone who is fully dedicated to the president. He accused Bannon of trying to build his “own brand off the fucking strength of the president.”

"“What I want to do is I want to fucking kill all the leakers, and I want to get the president’s agenda on track so we can succeed for the American people,” Scaramucci said.
