Ah yes, it’s TOTALLY the alcohol use that’s causing the paranoia, and couldn’t possibly be from any other substance.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Deff not the Epstein files or his personal emails getting hacked by Iran
I would LOVE if Iran had hacked the Epstein files and will just drop them unredacted. I suppose they'd use it as leverage first, but if they can't negotiate with Trump, and of course they can't because he doesn't even know what he wants, then bring em out bring em out.
He thought the cocaine would counteract the alcohol.
This looks like you asked AI to turn Pepe the frog into a human.
Hahaha godamn
Welp, I guess that's what we're calling him now. 😂🐸😂
What’s that? Kash Pepetel?
Kekekekash Patel
You win
He is a goblin who wants to steal my cheese and scream in my walls when the revolver mouse trap goes off.
Arguably an improvement over his usual "I just shit my pants" look
I literally have never seen a picture of this man where he does not have that deer in the headlights look
I wonder if his email being hacked is the only thing we know about.
I hope he's afraid and suffers every day for the rest of his miserable life. That goes double for Miller and Trump and Thiel and Roberts and Vought and Yarvin.
Don’t leave out Lutnick, Noem, Bennet, Gabbard… so many…
Those are more secondary, just garden variety evil/dumb people. Those I listed above are like, the core of the cancer. We need to surgically cut out the cancer.
Also, in the same analogy, the lifestyle and environmental factors that led to the development of the cancer need to be altered.
Actually, fuck it, just blast everything with chemo and start over from scratch.
at what point does the FBI just cut the director out of the loop?
You still think there's a "loop"? It's a conga line of fafo all the way down these days, and the FSB's (et al) playing hot potato with the DJ booth.
Drinks too much because he's afraid he'll get fired.
Gets fired for being a drunk.
Like come on man, Hegseth is white! You’ll be the first alcoholic kicked to the curb
All too common, even for actual humans.
Now they are all paranoid about being fired lol
Which is how Mafia families work. Loyalty to Trump is more important than anything else. The new thing is that they are starting to realise it.
But the new guy thinks that HE is indispensable. And round and round we go.
violating FBI conduct standards and potentially leaving the nation’s top law enforcement official vulnerable to coercion or exploitation.
Dude. That ship sailed a long time ago
Well then shut up and sue bitch
Can you imagine what comes out in discovery!
suck*
He's that one piglet at feeding time that bumbles about, flopping all over the other squirming, pink spawnlings already clamped onto a teat and cooing, while he bawls and blubbers and complains.
You're a little piggy, KKKash. Assume the position and STFU. Simple as. Bacon doesn't get opinions.
"Deny, deny, deny. Right Boss?!"
I hope he is paranoid and uneasy for the rest of his days, always looking over his shoulder, waiting for the other shoe to drop.
I hope it eats at him and he remains unwell.
There will be mead in Valhalla, broother.
Oh please please please sue Kashyap so that they can bring up all kinds of background shit.
As a professional drinker you can see in his eyes that he drinks a fuck ton
Then file a lawsuit, shithead. You're going to love Discovery.
