OMFG NO, the WORST CHRISTMAS NEWS EVER! Kash Patel "likely out soon" at FBI. NOT MY SWEET, SWEET KASH! NO!

Dan Bongino is a different matter. He always seemed happier playing at his tire swing at the zoo, as tourists threw him peanuts and bananas. He'd swing and swing and swing and just seemed so happy. Sometimes he'd fling his poo at them, but that's what chimps do. DON'T JUDGE HIM until you've walked a mile in his shoes, even though chimps do not wear shoes.

But KASH. All he wanted to to was have nice dinners at Rao's, and order SWAT teams to protect his girlfriend and drive her drunken friends home, and use the FBI jet to go see his girlfriend's concerts.

And wouldn't you know it, radical leftists ALSO expected him to DO HIS JOB.

How UNREASONABLE is THAT?

I will miss his gentle, wise, cross-eyed face. I don't have kids. But if I ever did, I'd want them to be just like KASH. Even my daughters. GOOD NIGHT, sweet prince. Good night.

eric rudolph could continue his bombing spree pf clinics and gay bars..

rudolph would certainly do it again, so might well be appointed fbi director by krasnov.

another one was the anthrax bomber - whoever did it, i've never understood why islamic terraists would target dem senators and the press.

1). "I don't know him. Never heard of him. No idea who he is" (TRUMP)

2). "Project 2025? What's that? Never heard of it. No idea what it's all about because I've never heard of it" (TRUMP)

3). Russell Vought installed as co-president, along with Stephen Miller, IMMEDIATELY AND AGGRESSIVELY IMPLEMENTS "Project 2025," while Trump festoons every inch of the oval office with fake-assed gold, tears down the East Wing to build a $200 $300 $400 million ballroom, takes naps, and plays golf.

My quick visual reaction is that he is a black man, quick research indicates I'm far from the only one who has that reaction. He identifies as Italian-American, but some reports indicate his father was half jamaican.

My immediate reaction was that sounds a lot like the insults the MAGA hurled at Michelle Obama. So I pulled up a quick picture, and my immediate reaction to his appearance was that he was a black man.

I’d really like to hear a reporter ask Leavitt or any of the 3rd string JV cabinet “CAN the President be wrong?” I’d like to hear how they answer even though they probably would become combative and not answer.

The head of the FCC is the same. Hired to do what Trump tells them to and never contradict their leader. That they are an embarrassment to their jobs rarely seems to bother Trump. The FBI has a history of major flubs. When a bomb was set off at the Olympics in Atlanta years ago, they tried to pin it a hapless security guard because the Olympics had been shut down and organizers were screaming that they had to reopen it or they'd lose millions of dollars. So the FBI claimed the guy who found the second bomb was a suspect and they stopped looking for anyone else! In spite of this giant blunder, Clint Eastwood made a movie about the guy (now deceased) claiming that a reporter got the tip by sleeping with an FBI agent, for which there is no evidence. What actually happened is that the FBI leaked the guy's name to take the pressure off them and the national media ran with it and tried him in the press. Jay Leno even did jokes about him and called him the "uni-doofus" because he was a fat guy. After he was cleared of the crime, he sued news organizations and got a big payout, including from NBC because of the Jay Leno joke.

I bet they gave him as little assistance as possible; he had to feel his way around. I wonder if they ever purposely led him in the wrong direction when he asked for help. Same with Bongino, the podcaster-at-heart.

He’s as useless as a woodpecker with rubber lips doing this job but there’s no reason to believe Piss would replace him with someone better. On the contrary, it’s bound to be someone even worse.

I don’t know that it really matters who does any of these jobs, they’re all sycophants and/or bad actors in his orbit.
