Comrade Patel is working tirelessly to sabotage the secret police from the inside.

So there's been rumors going around about Trump replacing him, but with who? Do you think they're capable of finding somebody competent or will it just be Dan Bongino?

[–] JohnBrownsBussy2@hexbear.net 20 points 4 months ago

Probably Andrew Bailey, who was appointed as a "co-deputy director" of the FBI. He was Missouri's AG and is a frothing-at-the-mouth right-wing culture warrior and extreme transphobe.

I hope it's Danny Bongos. I think he's even more mentally unstable than Kash Money.

Patel was always such a boat anchor. He's not very useful as media frontman for Trump's, because his lack of credentials and charisma made elite media less willing to manufacture consent for him. And he's an incompetent administrator, and so the FBI is less useful as domestic secret police than it could be.

Bongino has the law enforcement cred that the media loves, and actual media skills. And he can't be any worse of an administrator.

"internally paralyzed by fear" is a good way of describing Kash's facial expression at all times

can we stop worrying about fed posting now?

i live to wish death on my enemies for upvotes

[–] LeeeroooyJeeenkiiins@hexbear.net 3 points 4 months ago

wishing death isn't even a death threat and any attempt to construe it as such should be resisted as the most bullshit of nerd bullshit. Expression of desire or approval of something isn't an expression of an intent to do anything about it yourself.
