Like his namesake, Ka$h serves to obstruct Justice and advance Just-Us.

That’s the kinda crap that has us losing all the time. Sometimes you have to fight fire with fire. These people crawled out of the sewer. Maybe that’s where we have to go.

Patel has earned all the criticism he faces and more. I won’t bother to list his transgressions as they have been obvious.

When I read the moniker I found it both humorous and defining of Patel’s personality which is why I shared the nickname. This clown is in charge of our national law enforcement agency?! His thoughts and actions deserve ridicule. Also, please recall all of the personal insults— none of which were humorous— Trump has doled out to his enemies. Turnabout is fair play, wouldn’t you say?

Alcoholism is a serious disease and it has impacted my life in numerous ways. Alcoholism isn’t funny. But given Patel’s behavior, he’s fair game to be targeted.

Welcome to posting on DU. Most of us here are passionate progressives with strong opinions. I hope you’ll continue sharing your thoughts on this wonderful website.

By the way, Patel’s eyes creep me out.

for whom a mocking of Patel's physical condition might cause discomfort or unhappiness, for that, too, can be a serious matter.

It's very difficult to participate fully here without occasionally upsetting someone.

I trust you'll find that DUers are a thoughtful, well-meaning lot who share more commonalities than serious differences.
