You know, this headline could be made to be unambiguous (and more dynamic) if you moved the words around and inserted ā€œbyā€.

Yeah, who would ever think Smith had any cred at all.

ā€œWhite House aide Sebastian Gorka rang him up this week to threaten legal action and ā€˜berateā€™ him for repeatedly questioning Gorkaā€™s credibility.ā€

I think if you wear an Axis uniform and medal to the Inaugural Ball, it kinda does question your credibility.

Not to mention your sanity, loyalty, or decency as a human being.

Well beyond all reasonable doubt.

But, you know, just meā€¦

God I canā€™t stand listening to him talk when heā€™s just telling you stuff like heā€™s the most knowledgeable person in the room. I canā€™t imagine listening to him be confrontational and threatening legal retaliation.

No he can have the coffee, Iā€™ll use the pistol on myself so I donā€™t have to hear a fucking thing he says!

Nice. This is what we need across the board: those with expertise, experience and training need to expose the angry unqualified and undereducated that hide behind their fake news and cries of elitism. Iā€™d like to see some of this aimed at religion, climate deniers etc- the gullible naives Iā€™d call them. Deplorables sounds rough.

Gorkaā€™s a corker. The guy plays fascist dress-up at an Inaugural Ball and weā€™re supposed to believe heā€™s anything but a dingbat? Yeeesh!

Gorka (#FakeTerrorismExpert) affects a weird and exaggerated British accent. I suspect heā€™s auditioning for the role of ā€œWorst Bond Villian Ever!ā€.

Iā€™d nominate him for Biggest Pompous Asshole in DC (British accent division).

Smith asked Gorka why he didnā€™t telephone Storer, "who called you nuts in the Washington Post,ā€ to complain. Gorka responded that Storerā€™s remark wasnā€™t ā€œin a Twitter feed that is being sent to people on Capitol Hill.ā€

Oh, my FSM, heā€™s one of those! So much to upack here. Well written articles in WaPo have no impact whatsoever on the GOP, but Tweets? Boy, howdy! Apparently, GOPers canā€™t read the WaPo but are also glued to their Twitter feeds just like SCROTUM.

The Fake Terrorism Expert has a real Nazi medal. What else does he need to work in the Trump administration?

ā€œMr. Smith has been sending disparaging emails to [US government] officials about me and my work and I indicated that I may have to consult with legal staff at the [White House] about what he is doing,ā€ Gorka told the news site.

Because Gorka is too fucking cheap to hire his own lawyer? Or because he thinks Smith will do anything other than laugh at the threat that Gorka will sic the White House counsel on him for calling him a fraud?

White House lawyers arenā€™t going to help you, you moron. They arenā€™t your personal legal counsel when your little feelings get hurt.

This entire exchange doesnā€™t inspire confidence in either participant. Gorka, who is a member of the administration, demonstrates a lack of maturity that is particularly worrisome.
