Get him outta here!
Are they, though? Are they?
In what way?
A typical member of the “peaked in high school” administration
Wow, but look at his sunglasses and his action-hero demeanor!
He’s a coke head
It’s 100% behaviour of a coke head
It would be pretty funny if he didn’t hold a position of power but that’s trumps America
Becoming? In literally any other administration this world have been cut out like a cancer months and months ago.
I’m so tired of these “it’s becoming an issue…” or “we’re approaching…” articles. Stop sugar coating it. It is a massive problem. And nothing is being done to stop it.
Pretty evident that Patel is just a beer chugging frat boy riding for free on the government’s coat tails. But hey, MAGA seems to be OK with this swamp sucking leech…for reasons…
Why isn’t DOGE on this?? Clearly sounds like government waste to me. 🤣
He’s seen the epstein files. He’s not going anywhere.
Sure, but the price of knowing everything and doing nothing isn’t cheap?
No, it is a problem for the American taxpayer as well as endangering the country with an group of inept but connected maga loyalists who cannot even manage to find an elderly woman taken by a criminal mastermind who used a handful of bushes to cover the security camera. Taken by a cartel. ok. Seasoned, highly qualified agents were fired leaving a bunch of clowns who got their training from copaganda tv.
Why do cucks keep voting in the swamp?!
It’s as if Patel is TRYING to get fired. Everyone knows that Trump hates when his toadies draw incessant negative coverage for their transgressions—eg Bondi, Noem, etc.
Patel probably suspects the hammer is about to fall and he’s just trying to milk the gig for all its perks while he can.
Ah yes. Ka$h Patel.
As a retired FBI Special Agent (1989-2013), I worked for three Directors and can say without hesitation that Kash Patel isn’t worthy to tie their shoes. He is an embarrassment to himself, the FBI, and to the citizens of the United States. It is obvious that he has no understanding of the mission of the FBI or law enforcement in general. His behavior is unbecoming of the office he holds, and he should be immediately removed from that position.
MAGA making excuses for this fucking goon is just pathetic.
Imagine for a moment James Comey or even Robert Mueller snorkeling over hallowed ground.
Also imagine the outpouring of righteous indignation from Republicans if any Democrat had done the same.
Practically this entire administration is stacked with incompetent, unqualified loyalists who have no business being in positions of power and whose only qualification is that they pledge their undying fealty to Trump.
This is perhaps the only reason why Patel still has a job, because he’s willing to go after Trump’s opponents.
These sniveling (and snorkeling) little sycophants are hand picked because of their willingness to choose Donald Trump over the rule of law.
This is the definition of rampant cronyism.
Remember that Trump and his allies have insisted over and over again that hiring should be based on “merit” while denouncing “DEI” in all its forms.
Their constant attacks against “DEI” are often baseless and there’s nothing meritocratic about Patel’s appointment.
You say “DEI” hire, I say “DUI” hire.
You say “merit,” I say favoritism.
And with Patel now paranoid over being the next former Trump agency director, there’s no doubt that he’s going to ramp up the politically motivated investigations and partisan rhetoric.
It’s also not a good look when the FBI director is being outed by his own staff and colleagues as a “national security threat” because of his drinking habits.
People who described Patel as “erratic, suspicious of others, and prone to jumping to conclusions before he has the necessary evidence.”
Ya, that’s exactly what we want from our country’s top cop…
Keep in mind that for Kash Patel’s defamation lawsuit to carry any weight, the reporter in question has to admit that the dozens of current and former staff she interviewed were lying, she KNEW they were lying, and that she chose to publish the story anyways.
What seems more likely? That this is some kind of phony hit piece engineered by dozens of Patel’s colleagues who are all trying to undermine him by fabricating stories that all follow a similar pattern, or that Kash Patel is lying?
In the meantime, Patel is conducting polygraphs of FBI staff members in order to single out the whistleblowers, which is another example of professional misconduct in itself and deserved its own separate story.
Then there’s his firing of counterintelligence agents tasked specifically with monitoring Iranian threats just days before we launched a massive military operation in Iran. And only because some of these agents were part of the classified documents investigation into Trump…
To that point, he’s overseen the purge of dozens of career agents who have at one point been involved in investigating Trump or his allies.
These were cases that former FBI agents chose with no political motive, but were nonetheless scrutinized.
After internal probes revealed no misconduct, they were still demoted, put on administrative leave and eventually forced out of the agency.
And it’s also been revealed that Trump’s new AG (and former personal lawyer) has orchestrated a similar purge of all DOJ staff not sufficiently loyal enough to the president.
These corrupt lackeys have the audacity to suggest that they’re looking out for the best interests of the American people when they’re really trying to preserve their careers while prioritizing Trump’s interests over everything else.
The MAGA regime is consolidating political and prosecutorial power under this administration at an alarming rate.
They’re firing anyone whose loyalty can be questioned, anyone who was merely assigned to an investigation of Trump in the past.
We’re watching democracy unravel before our eyes as authoritarianism becomes the new norm.
Trump is weaponizing every power and agency of the federal government to target his political opponents, his critics in the media and anyone who has ever hurt his precious feelings for that matter, and Patel was put in power to help Trump see this through.
In a just world, Kash Patel would have never been considered for the position in the first place. If “merit,” skill, and competency were truly the basis for hiring, this administration would be staffed with an entirely different group of people.
But Trump has always been an awful delegator, despite his insistence that he always hires “the best.”
The only qualification for securing a top spot in Trump’s administration is that you be willing to compromise everything for the sake of Trump and his vindictive agenda, with “good TV ratings” being an added bonus.
Are they?
It’s painfully obvious that laws don’t matter, the Constitution is more like guidelines, and decency is for the “woke”.
I’m tired of these posts suggesting that there is bound to be some accountability of this administration.
Hm, I wonder what happens when you give an insecure cokehead the company credit card?
We better task two of the best-funded government agencies with figuring this out as directly as possible.
Every single one of them seems to be living in a world completely disconnected from the one humans inhabit.
Imagine taking a bunch of fratboy college kids and telling them, ok here is the bank, here is the vault, now watch over it and be responsible. This is what these people are, they are just enjoying life to the fullest at the expense of workers and when it gets too hot or they fuck up, they just get replaced. Meanwhile millions of Americans are suffering and the whole administration is basically ok sucks to be you, what do you want me to do about it? Figure it out yourselves.
It’s a problem and the powers that be have decided to (check notes) gossip about him like mean girls from high school
That’s our Krash!
I mean, have they?
Seems like he’ll have lots of opportunity to shotgun beer in more locker rooms before he ever sees consequences.
So he’s Roger from American Dad in the episode where he uses the CIA money to fuck around while pretending to do what he was hired to do.
Whoopty Doo. Nobody will do anything. Country is a joke.
This was expected when he was up for the job, why is this a surprise to them?
They would be OK if he was just wasting the money playing golf.
Y’all don’t realize the FBI was over when he was appointed.
People are denial that this administration gives a single fuck about competency.
Kash Patel works for Trump, and his donors…not the FBI, not the USA, and not you as a taxpayer.
The sooner we stop pretending that any of his cabinet/ appointments have any competency you get closer to the truth…it was a coup, and we’re fucked.
He’s literally a shitty version of Aziz Ansari’s character from Parks and Rec. He’d attach a flock camera to his own DJ Roomba.
