      He mastered the Rafael Palmeiro pointing.

      He’s definitely lying đź’€

      Can’t drink on the job if you schedule your job around your drinking!

      He should be done soon. Noem didn’t last long after falling apart publicly in a committee meeting.

      Damn the republicans are like magicians the way they hide how fucked up they all are and point the finger at Dems with wild accusations. Republicans are literally everything they accuse Dems of.

      I can’t believe the incompetence of the man. Rescheduling meetings? Why on earth can he not just drink during the meetings like a functional alcoholic?

      The whole administration is just a cesspool of doddering oldfolk and degenerates

      Every single person advising Trump knew he would hire this worm, and everyone of them told him not to.

      Damn I thought putting a podcaster in charge of the FBI was gonna work out great.

      The FBI director is a 100% full-time job with no days off and no hours off. Sorry, Lu$h Patel, you can’t just be wasted all day and run the department. (Which is exactly why he was appointed to the position.)

      Guilty people defend and get upset, they argue.

      Innocent people might be offended but they’ll laugh off your question because its an obvious no and not worth discussing.

      In addition to being criminals this administration does very poorly with emotional regulation

      Note that Patel is talking about Kilmar Abbrego Garcia, thats the “convicted gangbanger rapist in el salvadore” Patel is talking about.

      An innocent man who has been harrassed by the DHS since the start of the term.

      Kra$h Patel’s daily meeting itinerary:

      11:00am – R. Woodford

      1:00pm – J. Walker

      2:30pm – B. Light

      2:40pm – B. Light

      2:45pm – P. Bismol

      3:30pm – R. Woodford

      6:00pm – R. Woodford, J. Walker, B. Light, J. Daniels, P. Bismol 🤮

      it’s these childish outbursts that convinces me that everything that they are accusing him of is 100% true.

      I am woefully underqualified to be the FBI Director from an experience or merit perspective. However, as a white collar worker who shows up on time and doesn’t drink on the job, I am 100 times more qualified than Kash Patel

      You mean the guy that orders custom labels on bottles of hard liquor for his job has an alcohol problem?! shocked! shocked I am!

    30. rsm2000 on

      Keep it up. Stress is killing all of these clowns because they’ve finally failed up too high.

    31. Wild_Read9062 on

      It’s funny, he thinks he’s defending himself when really, it just makes him look small, sad, and pathetic.

    33. apenature on

      Flies off the handle could be a literal euphemism for drinking, e.g. a handle of whisky.

      These mofos thought the movie *Flight* was an instruction manual.

    38. Lacroix24601 on

      That’s a page out of every alcoholic’s playbook. Change topics, blame everyone else bc they’re all wrong and you’re just a victim. Sounds the same as my alcoholic dad. Get a new song!!

    39. SimpleTomatillo1166 on

      I mean, they got equipment once to break open his door because he didn’t respond to banging on the door.
      You seriously can’t make this sh** up. He’s head of FBI for crying out loud.
      BTW, its got to be drugs as well. My guess is cocaine. And then sleeping pills to wind down. Otherwise they could have woken him up, imo.

      What a huge surprise! A fail-son inheritance cowboy whose only job has been alcoholic podcaster can’t do a real job. This entire administration is proof positive that having money in no way demonstrates that you are in any way capable of leading, much less following.

      Alright, so the crux of the story is that, after Senator Chris Van Hollen asked Patel about the things described in the title, he responded:

      >“Unlike baseless reports—the only person that was slinging margaritas in El Salvador on the taxpayer dollar with a convicted gangbanging rapist was you. The only person that ran up a several thousand–dollar bar tab in Washington, D.C. … was you,” Patel said, referring to when Van Hollen visited Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Maryland constituent who was mistakenly deported to El Salvador’s mega-prison by the Trump administration last year, to advocate for his release.

      Look, I’m not trying to diminish how bad it is that we have an alcoholic, who is not even in recovery, in charge of the FBI. That’s obviously really really bad.

      But this testimony from Patel unequivocally demonstrates that he doesn’t care about the law. Allegations related to Abrego Garcia indicate that he likely wasn’t a good person. But hes not a convicted criminal in any sense and he’s definitely not a convicted rapist. I don’t think there’s even an allegation that he committed rape.

      Let me re-summarize: Patel plausibly committed defamation at a hearing about his allegations that someone else was defaming him.

      There’s no need to prove that he legitimately is an alcoholic during work hours. I’m sure it’s true, but there’s no need. The man in charge of law enforcement clearly and inarguably violated the law during a hearing. He should lose his job. End of discussion.

      You can tell by the way Van Hollen was asking these questions before Patel blew up that he was walking him into perjury. 

      He knows something we don’t. I don’t think he’s taking these at face value just because they were in the Atlantic, as good as that magazine is getting the facts right.
