From Slate (/s): We look forward to the Patel regime and would not, under any circumstances, urge the Senate to reject his nomination on the basis of his lack of his credentials or his promise to use the powers of federal law enforcement to engage in a facially unconstitutional effort to enforce an unstable president’s revisionist claims about events in recent history!
So what exactly will this guy do if he gets the job? Just tell everyone "Clear out your desks and go home, you're all fired" on day one? What will he do on day two?
This guy, more than any other clown Trump has thrown out there, scares me.
He is QAnon Cretin Number 1, or at least he is the QAnon Cretin's Alpha Male. He could be leading an agency that will soon be (under) staffed with nothing but Trump sycophants.
You thought J. Edgar Hoover held grudges and ruined lives? Patel will make Hoover look like an amatuer.
I appreciate that the thumbnail for the BESMIRCH STATEMENTS jump link is centered on some mondo cleavage rather than on K$H, because who the hell wants to see him anyway.
I also appreciate that the whole BESMIRCH STATEMENTS escapade was one of the funniest threads I have ever read on Our Wonkette. RIP Diamond or Silk whichever, but you unwittingly provided us comedy gold.
It's pretty hard to accept the idea that someone as "clownstupid" as Patel could also be dangerous - but I guess that's the world we live in. ( or was that "clownstupid" only meant the person making the nomination of Patel made ( yet another ) "clownstupid" pick? )
We've known for a while that That Guy is cognitively failing, so the real question to me is - Is he making these choices, or is someone "behind the scenes" playing 11th-dimensional checkers, hoping the stupids will be cover for the radicals they really want ? )
K$$$ also became an at least semi-official gatekeeper for those documents Trump accidentally stole from the nation he had sworn to protect and defend. It's worth remembering that some of those documents--the secret, "eyes only" kind--were never recovered.
Oh well. That's all over now...like our national security. Because who gives an actual fuck about that?
Oh goody. The crazy eyed incel with the comically over sized coffee mug *cough little man syndrome cough* will get another crack at sitting in the big chair of a department he hasn't the foggiest fucking idea how to run. I hope the FBI buries him and not under a mound of paper work.
Am I the only person who kind of got whiplash they they announced Patel's nomination while glossing over the fact that this means Trump will be firing a second FBI director (the person he appointed to replace the last guy he fired)? Remember the huge scandal that erupted when he fired Comey? And now it's a shrug from the media?
The media has normalized all of Trump’s madness. Now anything he does will be greeted with a shruggy emoji.
I suspect the idea that FBI directors are supposed to serve ten year terms will be seen as a quaint relic of the past. At least until a democrat tries to replace one.
How do you get more dangerous than this? Is he nominating Ghengis Hitler next?
…you mean more dangerous then the one in WH ? …it’s like arguing about size of the needle for your lethal injection
From "I Alone Can Fix it"
Milley at the Army Navy game in a box with Trump and Patel:
"'Hey, Kash, are you going to take CIA or FBI? Which is it? It's in all the papers...Which are you doing?"
Patel "Oh Chairman, Chairmen, come on. Stop! Stop! "
Milley was drawing hard boundaries , and he wanted the White House to understand Patel and his pals weren't going to get the guys with the guns."
The good old days.
Funny about MAGAts…if you showed them that photo of Patel & asked them to identify it, nine out of ten would swear he was one of the 9/11 co-pilots.

Day 2: ???

Something that would have been a huge scandal if Kash had been a Democrat: he defended a Palestinian who was trying to send arms to the West Bank.

Are there any photos of Kash where he doesn’t look completely bugshit crazy?
Ta, Marcie. Anything I have to say about K$H would be inviting the banhammer.

It's going to be fun once the ass kissers are getting played against each other by Baron Shartkonnen because the Baron is bored.
Applause for Baron Shartkonnen 🤣🤣🤣

Murc's Law is Cruise Control for Cool (and Clicks!) you see, so this is probably "okay!"
