Sebastian Gorka, special assistant to the President, is the latest administration official to leave office.
I don't know exactly what he job duties or (questionable background) expertise he brought but he always seemed especially prickish in interviews.
This dude:
As Joseph Arpaio’s federal case headed toward trial this past spring, President Trump wanted to act to help the former Arizona county sheriff who had become a campaign-trail companion and a partner in their crusade against illegal immigration.
The president asked Attorney General Jeff Sessions whether it would be possible for the government to drop the criminal case against Arpaio, but was advised that would be inappropriate, according to three people with knowledge of the conversation.
After talking with Sessions, Trump decided to let the case go to trial, and if Arpaio was convicted, he could grant clemency.

I'm starting to nurture the glimmering hope that Trump could very well signal the end of the GOP, and might just be able to take them down without nuking the planet in the process.

Nuke the world, maybe not. Start a second civil war at home, much more likely.

Yeah, but I'd honestly just seem him as hastening a process that was apt to happen anyway.

I just want to go one day without being forced to remember that 95% of Sesame Street monsters are scholars compared to our president.

And just so nobody asks later: no, it doesn't count as a full day if he shits in a waste paper basket during the overnight.
