Ah, Mooch, we hardly knew ye. You were a star that burned bright and hot and then collapsed on yourself and became a black hole of disaster.

Twitter has, unsurprisingly, been a treasure trove of jokes, so let’s take a look at what were a tumultuous 11 days.

Just like it was yesterday…

Remember when we all started digging up his old tweets and then he gave a “full disclosure” that he was deleting shit? Those were the days, man.

::flips water bottle:: ::dabs::

OH RIGHT AND HIS OFFICIAL START DATE HASN’T EVEN COME YET. So much for needing to worry about ethics conflicts!

God, and then that New Yorker article. In future history textbooks, this whole unit will be more asterisks than letters. Teachers will have to send home permission slips before they show their students primary source documents.

Pure poetic disaster, all on the record, and he knew it was on the record too!

Anyone seen any horsemen lately? Heard any trumpet blasts?

It’s ok though. I’m sure such a skilled communicator with decades of experience will do fine. Just fine.

Someone needs to get an Associate Director in here ASAP to fix these inconsistencies.

And then, oh AND THEN. The Mooch’s wife taught us all a bit about taking back your life. It’s aspirational, really.

While he was bragging about forcing Priebus out, she was getting sweet revenge.

And the hits kept coming. He paid SO MUCH MONEY to appear SO BRIEFLY in a movie. Adorable.

If Sorkin had tried to write this plotline, we all would have said it was too unrealistic.

That didn’t stop people from making comparisons between Everyone’s Favorite Chief of Staff Leo McGarry and the new Chief of Staff John Kelly. Thankfully, Bradley Whitford shut that shit down.

And yesterday was the fateful day that we learned that The Mooch is out. Yesterday was also Harry Potter’s birthday, so of course the references were out in full force.

Not to be outdone, Star Wars helpfully answered when it was decided that “scaramucci” should be a unit of measurement.

How is there ALWAYS a relevant Trump tweet?

This is probably accurate. It’ll be the biggest, most well-attended of ALL TIME.

The White House. The White House is the house that’s falling apart.

Representative Schiff says what’s on all of our minds. Only 11 days. Gone so soon.

“So I just go out the same way I came in?”

Us too, Ashley. Us too.
