The Mooch was one of the many officials to come and go in the Trump admin. Anthony Scaramucci, affectionately known as “The Mooch,” lasted 10 days of chaos before being shown the door.

Since then, the mooch is accepted as a unit of time equal to 10 days in the metric system, or 11 days if measuring in imperial (his actual term was something like 10.6 days). The defacto use of a mooch for measuring time in the US is the metric 10 days per mooch.
The mooch is an appropriate unit of time to measure the duration of failed political positions. Another unit of time that serves this purpose is the lesser-known British Truss, which is 49 days imperial. That one is often reserved for failed heads of state.
JD Vance was nominated on July 15, so by Aug 16 he has latest 32 days so far. That would be 3.2 mooches. I guess this meme was made to stay fresh for a few days, optimistically presuming Vance will make it to at least 4 full mooches.
I would just like to point out for those who stumble upon this that while The Mooch was fired 10 days after it was announced he would be the new White House Director of Communication he never started the job. This asshole managed to be so bad at a job he wasn’t even doing that they fired him before he started it.
