Donald Trump is weighing whether or not to fire Kash Patel as the FBI director in the “coming months,’ reported MS NOW on Tuesday. The report cited “three people with knowledge of the situation who requested anonymity in order to speak freely.”

    A week after being fired:

    Every photo I see of this man he looks bewildered. Just utterly bamboozled, perplexed, flummoxed, and discombobulated.

    Maybe his second career can be as a comedic actor

      Kash Patel looks like he’s constantly, just now, finding out that he’s gotten way too high and accidentally joined up with the Nazis and just remembered he’s a dark skinned minority named Kash Patel.

        As if anyone has the backbone for that. People seem very weak and comfortable and unwilling to do anything. I’ve always wondered how X could have happened when looking at history. Now I know apathy.

          Hey any one of us could step up and make the decision to sacrifice everything for a shot at the king in some way. I don’t see anyone joining the FBI just to leak this info and spring years in prison, or advocating even more extreme actions. Anyone casting stones risks adding hypocrisy to apathy.

            No but people in the military could start refusing orders. People in power could be actually held accountable. The maximum evil could be conservative democrats but instead morons worship Trump as the country rapidly decends further(it’s already there) into fascism.

            The easiest one, especially in a recession, is that people could stop buying so much garbage from corporations. Like, do people really need to drink so much fucking bottled water from Nestle? Do they need all this crap from Amazon? Can they not wait a couple days to get something with slower shipping? Do they need to pay for Youtube Premium after the company gave tens of millions worth of aid to Israel’s propaganda machine(I cancelled mine immediately)? I straight up gave up buying most cookies and started making my own more often simply because the ones from Canada that I liked started coming plastic packages for some fucking reason.

            I’m not demanding anyone assassinate Trump but for crying out loud could ya put in the smallest amount of effort to deal with being slightly inconvenienced because you can’t get prime shipping or slam 2L bottles of cola? And if the US can’t handle those basic things then they clearly don’t want things to actually be better, or at least they aren’t willing to be even a small part of the solution. Not everyone needs to be an action hero but fucking do something.

            Also, because some smart-ass will bring it up, I’m not talking about stuff that unfortunately lacks reliable alternatives. It’s hard to get away from smartphone companies, Linux is easier every day but still has a strong reputation for being tricky, and I tried to get non-US mandolin strings but I really found the other options to lack the necessary basic level of quality(and at least their company seems to be run decently).

      This is the same guy that wrote 3 books about how he and Trump were gonna save the States. I’m almost sure that Kash is just happy that Trump knows his name.

    Lol. If he’s worried about ‘unflattering headlines’ he should be looking at firing more than just that dude.

      According to Kash, the files are controlled by the director of the FBI. So yeah, I’m thinking he can and should do that now while he’s still director of the FBI. But I’m betting he won’t because he’s too much of a yesman lackey coward pissboy. Prove me wrong, Kash.

    Seeing that he fully trusts the news, can they start reporting that he’s thinking of getting rid of any one and maybe it’ll happen?
