Miles Taylor being revealed as “Anonymous” is perhaps the biggest “whomp whomp” since Wilson from Castaway was revealed to be the volleyball in Top Gun.

1. It's certainly anticlimactic at this point.

I was kind of hoping it would turn out to be somebody like Kellyanne Conway or even Jared.

[Nevilledog]

2. Couldn't really imagine those two.

I thought it was Nielsen.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

3. I couldn't either, that's why I was hoping it was one of them.

[Nevilledog]

5. When I was considering the timing, for a brief second I considered Conway.

Mainly cuz I figured her $15k monthly RNC direct deposit probably hit today.

4. Ah!!! Of course! Top gun!!!

I *knew* that actor looked familiar!!!

[blueinredohio]

6. Who is Miles Taylor?

[Nevilledog]

7. He's Anonymous.....ex-DHS staffer

[blueinredohio]

10. But who is he, what did he do as a staffer?

[Caliman73]

9. He was Chief of Staff at Homeland Security with John Kelly.

He stayed at HS when Kelly went on to be Chief of Staff for Trump.

13. Thanks. If he's homeland security he doesn't deserve to be heard.

[Hugin]

12. From reading this thread I think he's a volleyball.

[mucifer]

15. Used to work under cheney. He still loves cheney which tells you how bad trump is

[czarjak]

18. Between Trump not being able to think of anything he needs forgiveness for...

And Dick not "changing a thing", how could Jesus ever pick a favorite? You Chosen Ones!

[NorthOf270]

8. Honestly didn't know who the guy was

Thought it was Dan Coats.

Anyway....

[Lotusflower70]

11. Hmmm

Another non newsbreaker to add to the massive pile of non newsbreakers.

[Earthshine2]

14. If you are a Star Trek TOS fan ...

Did you ever notice that the Romulan cloaking device is half Sargon and half Nomad?

I did not know this about Wilson. Whether true or not, I'm still laughing.

The saddest part of Castaway is when he lost Wilson. I felt it!

16. Magats ignore authority, so, it won't change votes.

They're immune to facts.

[czarjak]

17. Going along to get along should have consequences!

[nsd]

19. Meh.

If Anonymous had been John Kelly, that would have been interesting. But somebody nobody has ever heard of? Meh.
