Flatulent Hungarian bullshit artist Sebastian Gorka appeared at Trump's inaugural ball all dolled up in his father's Order of the Vitez uniform. Not exactly S.S., but as close as you can get for central Europe.

It doesn't get more clownish than this.

So, it's no surprise Gorka was one of Trump's favorites. At least until Kelly put his foot down, and refused to have a 'national security expert' in the White House that can't get a security clearance. Heck, Gorka tried to con his way into a national security job in Hungary, and even THEY accused him of being a fake, and didn't grant him one.

I seem to remember him insisting on being called "Dr" Gorka. He's NOT a physician, so in what field does he have a PhD ?

...and Gorky needed to thump his chest and swing his little dick. You know, just another day with a "y" in it.

This was in the White House ROSE GARDEN. The damn ROSE GARDEN. Gorky got all pushy-shouty with a reporter and the trump toadies in attendance started hooting and screeching and telling the reporter than Gorky would "kick his ass" (after Gorky had fled, naturally, being a real tuff guy and all). Afterwards, the story got spread around that the reporter "provoked" poor widdle snowflake Gorky and hurted his precious gossamer fee-fees.

I mean, it's not like Gorky explodes into shouting fits on a regular basis or anything, right? /sarcasm

"Hey Gorka, get a JOB!" That must have left a mark, given that the only reason Gorka has ever had ANY job is because he's married to Katharine Fairfax Cornell, daughter of billionaire Milton Keen Cornell (heir to Cornell Iron Works).

Daddy Milton gave Katharine money to set up a national security 'think tank,' (I guess it was her hobby--she has a B.A. in Comparative Literature, not exactly Valarie Plame), the national security gig allowed her to write 'national security' op/ed pieces on Breitbart (aka 'brainfart(dot)com').

When she married Hungarian bullshit artist Sebastian Gorka, again, daddy got deadbeat son-in-law a job loosely connected to the U.S. military by funding a 'chair' in national security at the U.S. National Defense University in Washington D.C. Basically, he said "You can have this shit-load of money to fund a research chair, but only if you hire my useless, half-wit son in law to FILL the chair." (Basically, Gorka pulled a KUSHNER to get his position.)

Thus, bullshit artist Gorka became a 'national security expert,' which got him a gig as an editor at Brainfart(dot)com, and the gig at Brainfart got him a regular gig on FUX NEWS, as a so-called anti-terrorism expert. (ie-he read an english translation of the Koran for his PhD thesis at match-box, mail order university in Budapest, thus making him twice the expert on Islam as anybody on Fux News.)

Because Tangerine Caligula spends most of the day glued to Fux News, Trump saw Gorka on Fox, and immediately hired him as a national security, counter terrorism expert at the White House.

I remember seeing interviewed on Fux News during the transition, and he mentioned that he ran into Lt. General H.R. McMaster in the lobby of Trump Towers, while Trump was interviewing for his cabinet, and said to him "Look! My goodness how far we've come! Suddenly we're senior advisors to a President!"

Yeah, that's right. A general with 30 years military experience, and a useless grifter who managed to bag the daughter of a billionaire. Just look how far you've come! I nearly puked when Gorka said that. I can only imagine that if McMaster DID year that, he tossed his lunch farther than an RPG.

The rich are a danger to a peaceful society. They need to be limited and capitalism as an economy and democracy as a government ain't working.

...tried to shake his hand, and tell him "We're all on the same team?" If so, that's even more offensive than that bloated clown, Gorka, calling a REAL journalist a 'punk.'

O'Kieff is LITERALLY a punk, and for him to claim that a legitimate journalist is on the same team as him is pretty damned offensive.

Fuck every last one of these people. I hope that, after the Democrats regain control, we have YEARS of congressional investigations on these crooks. That old "We won't investigate YOU after you're gone if you don't investigate US when WE'RE gone" gentleman's agreement has been VOIDED by these assholes. The GOP is guilty of ATTEMPTED MURDER of the Republic. They need to be held to account for that, LEGALLY.

O'Keefe makes my skin crawl.

Journalism, and particularly investigative journalism, by its definition is nonpartisan.

O'Keefe, as you noted, is a criminal and a partisan hack.

For him to approach Karem and say "we're all on the same team" and "I'm just like you" is offensive to real journalists everywhere.

...they never 'pull an O'Keeffe' by EXTENSIVELY EDITING the footage to change the entire meaning of what happened. That's not anybody's definition of journalism, but it's everybody's definition of political ratfkuking. And that's what O'Keefe is, a ratfckuker. Put him in a suit, instead of a pimp costume, and he's STILL a ratfckuker.

And the first basic rule is that we don't use hidden cameras unless the information can't be obtained by any other means.

I mean, seriously. The bulk of their followers don't read. They simply don't. They watch Fucks News, type inane comments on internet message boards and little else. Many can barely read billboards. There's bulk buys and other scams to move numbers, but does anyone actually read this tripe? I think not. If I go to the trouble to write a book, I would at least like someone to actually read my ideas...preferably a lot of people. That is, if I actually have coherent thoughts other than parroting the same old talking points and canards. Otherwise, getting published is just an exercise in bumbling self aggrandizement. Guess I answered my own question.
