  1. Honestly, if he does get ousted, I’m worried about another Todd Blanche-type person becoming the next director.

    Patel has less than 2 weeks left.

    Same news pattern that took place with Noem and Bondi. Leaks and discussion of removal.

    I doubt Patel is there on May 1

  3. Kristi Noem, Pam Bondi, Todd Lyons, now Kash Patel, all within a month.

    Surround yourself with clowns expect a circus.

    Any over/under on Pete Hegseth? Every poor decision by Trump needs a fall guy to blame.

  4. Just because there is literally video of him drunk as hell and chugging more? Is that really “excessive?” Oh … Yeah it is…

  5. We all saw him celebrating with the USA men’s hockey olympic team like a college frat boy, right?

  6. It should be easy to verify MIA. Just look at his schedule. Has he logged into FBI network.

    Trump’s “Best People”, everyone! Couldn’t last two years of what is supposed to be a 10 year term.

  8. This Republican Administration has to be the most corrupt and inept in American history.

    They fired over 300,000 professional/expert government workers and brought in a dump truck load of unqualified loyalists with damning personalities/traits.

    Clearly, Republicans can’t govern. They can only attack, divide, destroy, hate and lie!

    The President of the United States of America is a pedophile. Let’s openly discuss that.

  10. Slamming beers with US hockey instead of being a serious leader of the most powerful federal law enforcement agency?

    Using a private plane to shuttle your girlfriend at the tax payers expense?

    What is he going to do next, go to UFC fights while we are actively bombing a Middle East power nation?

    Go golfing when gas and food prices have hit an all time high?

    I mean, a President shouldn’t let this happen, right?

    Who would have thought a podcast bro would be a disaster?

    Will his gf stay with him?

    Really sucks diseased donkey wang to have an FBI director that makes J Edgar Hoover look good by comparison. And a president that ranks lower than Nixon in every performance metric.

    I thought Hegseth was going to be next. Most of his hires were mind boggling because none were qualified for the high level position they were placed in. I do not know of any other president so far with such a high rate of turnovers.

  14. Susan wiles is trying to take control of diaper don’s playmates before the midterms, because she thinks americans have the attention span of a gnat… She could be right, there’s only one way to prove her wrong

    “YOU CANT TELL ME IM DRUNK ILL FUCKIN SUE YOU” is not a great look from… **checks notes** The Director of the FBI.

    So it would seem that Trump should have gone to any large establishment, a shopping centre, movie theatre, football match or hell even just a busy street and played eeny, meeny, miny, moe to fill his cabinet. He then would have had at least a much more adept administration. At least the people randomly selected would have had some interest in serving the public, some level of commitment and at least tried to do their jobs, or been glad of the opportunity.

    He will be gone soon, replaced by a white dude. Trash Patel has outlived his usefulness.

    Uh-oh this might actually get him. IIRC Donnie is sober & supposedly doesn’t care for drunks. 

  19. I’m always skeptical with these stories on Reddit at first. “Oh who reported this? Some tabloid?” And then it’s increasingly like “No, it’s the fucking Independent.” Oof.

    Googly eyes was never fit for the job in the first place. He’s done fuck all except parade around in an woman’s medium sized FBI field jacket acting all tough while tweeting misinformation.

  21. Just a reminder that the last FBI director, Christopher Wray, was also a Trump appointee. He started serving a 10 year term in 2017 and Trump forced him out early to put Patel in. Of course Trump also fired Comey to put Wray into office.

  22. Imagine the dirt he can drop if he gets fired? Especially if he’s a petty alcoholic? Man. Get me some popcorn

  23. I can’t wait for the Donald J. Trump Federal corrections center houses all of these lowlifes including its namesake. They don’t belong in our society.
