Wait, so he’s fucking Gareth from The Office?
I had family who died as a result of Hitler’s march through Hungary. It’s neck-and-neck between Bannon and Gorka for who I think is the most loathsome turd in the White House.
this is literally how i am now spending my friday night and i feel good about this life choice
That is goddamn fantastic
Oh holy shit. I have a PhD, and am in the majority when I say that those of us with legit doctorates all hate those fucks. Insisting someone call you Dr? GTFOH. What a bunch of pretentious desperate social climbers.
the venn diagram of ‘people who make a big deal about your calling them Doctor’ and ‘people who are assholes’ is a circle
Hell, just riff on Rob Schneider’s old SNL routine:
I refuse to respond to Mortal above because he likes to comment and then lean in hard to mansplaining literally everything to any response he gets. BUT yes, Sebastian Gorka is what British military call a “Walter Mitty,” from the short story about an older man imagining an extraordinary life while leading a pretty…
My general view is that anyone who insists on being referred to by a title outside of the professional setting where that title is relevant (doctors in hospitals, judges in court, professors outside of academia) are presumptively insecure assholes.

He also insists on being called “Dr. Gorka”. If I ever meet him I’m going to make a point of calling him “Mr. Gorka”.
Damn, that’s rich. It’s always those dudes who boast a little too much about their war service. They’re always complete fucking frauds. I’m looking at you, Jesse Ventura and dead Chris Kyle.
God I wish Gorka would fuck off, if only because he likes to play up his British Army bullshit “oh I was in a super secret Intel unit who hunted down the IRA”.
Miley should have titled her new album Forget About The Past Few Years Please. That’s kind of unfortunate really. It feels like she’s kinda dismissing that time as a parenthetical moment. While I don’t think the stuff she made in that time was necessarily good, at least it was weird.
