Don't know about this source - but Maggie Haberman (NYT) re-tweeted it.

1. Another one bites the dust

[George II]

2. Not disputing you, but this is the third time we've heard that Gorka was leaving, first was in May.

[oberliner]

6. Lots of reputable folks reporting it

On CNN right now.

[George II]

13. Yes, everyone has it now. Thanks....

....I wish the first report back in May was true!!!

[sandensea]

3. Whut?

He bought a farm in Argentina?

[guillaumeb]

14. Does he also collect WW II memorabilia?

Flags and uniforms and such?

[sandensea]

17. I don't doubt it.

Hungary's fascist and kleptomaniacal Miklos Horthy dictatorship was perhaps Hitler's closest ally - more so even than Mussolini.

Once the war ended, a vertiable exodus of Hungarian Nazis and collaborators ensued - many of them ending up in South America, Britain, Portugal, and - thanks to Prescott Bush - southern California.

[guillaumeb]

21. I had no idea. I assumed that German Nazis were the only "immigrants". eom

[sandensea]

24. If only!

As bad as German Nazi escapees were, the über-fascist Croatian Ustaše regime were a close second.

They were particularly sadistic, and in relation to their relatively small numbers committed far more atrocities than the Nazis did.

Like the Nazis, many found refuge in not only Argentina, Chile, and Brazil (which like Croatia are majority-Catholic countries); but also in Southern California - particularly in Orange and northern San Diego counties.

28. Italian fascists were immigrants, too.

Lovely bunch of immigrants they got.

[sandensea]

29. True - although I understand relatively few did.

Most Italian fascists were given a kind of undeclared amnesty after World War II - i.e. renounce Mussolini and refrain from interfering, and all is forgiven.

There were, however, a rash of vendetta killings against former fascists - mostly by southern Italians against whom Mussolini had been particularly vicious.

Few things as fierce as Calabrese vendetta, let me tell you.

4. Maggie's a reputable source. Yay! That Miller creep next!

Notably, the NY Times itself has not made a statement yet, presumably verifying.

[samnsara]

5. aaaccckkk...Harvey...Gorka...Arpaio.....Oh My!

....which channel to stayed glued to?

[NotASurfer]

7. CNN just reported same n/t

[shanny]

8. Paging Stephen Miller....

[NBachers]

9. Gettin' a little hot there, Gorky? They're closing in on the whole rat's nest.

The bunker's thinning out to the Last Bleevers.

Make your deals while the dealin's good, punks.

Embattled Presidential Deputy Assistant Sebastian Gorka has resigned from his post in the White House, The Federalist reported.

In his resignation letter, Gorka cites “forces” at odds with the “Make America Great Again” dream as the reasoning behind his exit.

“[G]iven recent events, it is clear to me that forces that do not support the MAGA promise are – for now – ascendant within the White House,” Gorka’s resignation reads. “As a result, the best and most effective way I can support you, Mr. President, is from outside the People’s House.”

Gorka has been linked to racist anti-Semitic groups in his home country of Hungary, causing much of the media and Internet backlash against him.

23. '45 is the worst people....

One tends to surround themselves with those like themselves.

[oberliner]

12. Rumors?

He is a fricking Nazi.

[Hieronymus]

18. Yes, and wearing his Nazi pin on special occasions.

[muriel_volestrangler]

36. Yeah, that somehow reads as if there were triple brackets and globe signs in the original

surrounding "forces" and "ascendant".

[not fooled]

15. Yeah, the worst people

Fake Ph.D., genuine Nazi.

Good riddance and a functional administration would never have hired this racist poseur fraud.

[CottonBear]

16. Isn't his equally vile wife employed by Dolt45 as well?

The only reason he's in the US is because he married a US citizen.

[SunSeeker]

19. Yep. nt

[spiderpig]

20. Just clean out and fumigate The People's House.

Let's start over, going back to November 8.*

*This does not apply to hardworking staff with an actual sense of responsibility and history. You all know who I mean.

[paleotn]

22. Cover

for pardoning the f'ing pig, Arpaio. "See! I'm not a racist scumbag!"

[brooklynite]

25. BREAKING: Gorka FIRED, didn't resign...

26. Here's an interesting development, a CNN contact at the White House said (anonymously, for now)....

....that Gorka didn't resign but he's no longer working in the White House.

Bizarre news night tonight.

30. So I screw my courage to the sticking point and went to Freeperville(yes, I have said it before)

They are despondent and some are actually giving up on Trump. If Miller goes he will lose more of them. But like true ideologues there are those still defending Trump and insisting that it is all some kind of devious plan. Basically, they are all fucking idiots.

We know it all about their racism but it is fun to see them despondent and fighting among themselves.

We on the left get some of our brethren who come up with bat shit crazy conspiracy theories at times, but these nuts live and relish in them continually.

Have a nice evening.

[Honeycombe8]

33. They're not blaming Obama? That's a miracle. nt

[GulfCoast66]

34. Unbelievably his name never came up!

[oberliner]

38. The hard-core Trump people believe McMaster is behind this

And they are not happy.

[Marcuse]

31. Gorka dissed Tillerson. He miscalculated.

[Honeycombe8]

32. Revolving door. Trump is the worst leader ever. He can't even keep a small team together. nt

[weydowner]

35. another one hits the dust.

Was it DT that fumigated the WH after Obama?
After this parade of truly bad hombres, I'd suggest knocking down the whole building because the metaphorical stench is permeating every stone and every piece of furniture.

[Achilleaze]

37. First he* filled the swamp

then he* was forced to pump some of the shit out of the swamp, while looking about for fresh republican turds to further foul the waters.
