      I knew the administration would insert themselves into the win somehow.

      I didn’t think it would be immediately, on tax payer dime, and with the FBI Director?

      Kash Patel has also used taxpayer money for a private jet flight with his girlfriend. He keeps using his position as FBI chief for personal benefits.

      Impeach this fucker, now. Every single member of this administration makes me sick. Any one of these offenses would have blown up the news cycle in a normal (I.e. democratic) admin but here we are with this shit happening daily and it’ll just be swept under the rug within 12 hours.

      >Patel is an avid hockey fan, and nothing in the videos is unusual for a post-game celebration after a victory of this magnitude. But his presence in the locker room drew attention because Patel flew to Milan on the FBI’s private jet, and his spokesman denounced reporting by MS NOW and other outlets that he was flying to Milan to watch the men’s hockey games at the Olympics.

      >Patel posted to his personal X account late Sunday: “For the very concerned media – yes, I love America and was extremely humbled when my friends, the newly minted Gold Medal winners on Team USA, invited me into the locker room to celebrate this historic moment with the boys.”

      >FBI spokesman Ben Williamson told MS NOW on Thursday that Patel was going to Milan for a series of business meetings, and it was unfair to describe the trip as having to do with hockey or pleasure.

      >“Your rag outlet wrote that he went to hang out at the Olympics on the taxpayer dime – even when provided information that your theory was false,” Williamson posed Saturday on X. He did not respond to a request for comment about the video.

      Didn’t realize partying with Olympic athletes was part of the FBI director’s job description… who knew? 🤷

      Omg…WHAT a dork and a dweeb.  Just look at him jumping, fist pumping and having a medal hung around his neck.  What kind of absolute bullshit is this?  

      Congress needs to haul this wannabe before a committee and make him resign.

      Such a bad look for the Director of the FBI. How does this have anything to do with national security, intelligence, or federal law enforcement? It really is just an FU to the American taxpayer. It’s also more behavior from Trumps underlings that shows they do not fear repercussions of their actions.

      Tax payer funded field trip for a guy whose job has absolutely nothing to do with international relations.

      I’d love it if we could get some adults with seriousness of purpose as our leaders. Fucking embarrassing

      Fixed the headline — “MY TAX DOLLARS shown in raucous locker room celebration during Olympics trip”

      “official government business” is now “fly to Italy to get fucked up with MAGA clown hockey players”

      I wouldn’t care if he didn’t suck at his job and served the law and not the president and billionaires.

      But he sucks and is like a baby in the tit for trump. Dude sucks.

      Wow. Took them less than an hour to sully the win. Every one of them that didn’t leave as soon as the coked out weasel entered the locker room should be stripped of their medal and I don’t give two shits and fuck if it’s the whole team.

      As for Patel, as soon as he gets back he should be hauled in front of Congress, stripped of his job and charged with wasting taxpayer money and jailed.

      I don’t care that he is at the Olympics, I don’t care that he went to the locker room (in fact if he he is there he should go to the locker room to congratulate the team), i don’t even care if he joins them for a celebratory beer, but chugging and spraying beer should be reserved for the people who earned it, the players, the coaches and the support staff

    34. OW2007 on

      When you let Nazis cone to your party…and dance and chug beer with them – Congratulations! You are now the Nazi party!

      Fuck Team USA if they don’t apologize for this. I get being carried away in the moment, but this isn’t any normal moment. Trump is attempting to overthrow our democracy and institute a dictotorship. The coach should have escorted Patel out of the locker room.

      Goddamn fucking influencer administration. I’m such a huge hockey fan but I can’t even fully celebrate this win because of these unbelievably embarrassing losers that run my country
