Summary
Kash Patel has been removed as acting ATF director after reportedly not appearing at ATF facilities for weeks, while maintaining his FBI Director role.
Army Secretary Daniel Driscoll will now serve in both his current position and as ATF acting director.
ATF staff were “shocked and confused” by the sudden change, which officials tried to claim was due to Patel’s full workload at the FBI rather than performance issues.
The leadership shuffle comes as DOJ officials consider merging the ATF with the DEA to reduce costs.
I’ll predict that some crisis is going to happen soon. This government is completely incompetent and the only way to hide their failings is for something else to happen to distract everyone from how stupid they are.
Well so far we have
-bird flu
-measles
-80% of the bees that pollinate our crops dying
-no workers to plant/harvest crops
-many nations divesting trade from us
I think at least one of those is bound to get pretty bad :3
-obtaining putins true goals with the us, by destabalizeing it.
-Multiple airline accidents and crashes while reducing the number of air traffic controllers at a time when they were already severely short staffed
They aren’t really trying to hide their failings with anything more than words. They don’t really care what anyone thinks of their performance. And most believe any mistakes are the cost of progress. Besides, if they could orchestrate a crisis that doesn’t obviously come from their own actions, they wouldn’t be failing as much.
Sometime around April 19th-21st I think.
Don’t do that shit. 😔
Not me, but I think it’s when Trump’s EO about a border crises ends.
thats how putin does it, blame your incompetent suborndinates that you hired to take the fall, except in his case they also fall out the window, explode on a plane, or have a heart attack on a boat.
It gets better and better every day. Holy shit I couldn’t write this comedy. If it weren’t real life I would be rolling.
Patel is in charge of the ATF and the FBI. Can’t hack both jobs, ghosts the ATF.
These chucklefucks remove Patel and instead of finding someone from the 4-mile long list of law enforcement officials qualified to run the ATF, they pick the Secretary of the Army. Who also has a full fucking time job as Secretary of the Army.
I am sure this will work out great, what does the Secretary of the Army do anyway? They both deal with Explosives and firearms. That’s 2 out of 4 yeah?
Jesus Christ.
Sounds like he doesn’t have enough willing folks to keep up the charade
they ran out of the competent ones from the last admistration he was in.
Well this is just temporary… Once they merge the ATF with the DEA they can shoot your dog, burst turn your door, shove a gun in your face, ransack your house, only then realize they have the wrong address, and threaten you to stay quiet
Think of the efficiencies! Think of the savings!
If they train with local police they can skip all the threats because they will have shot you just before they shoot your dog.
ATF staff were “shocked and confused” by the sudden change
Not as surprised as they were when he got the job in the first place lol
Elon probably faked him out with massive government systems access and AI to convict Patel that DOGE had fired so many and installed so many XYouth (oh shit I hate it) that he didn’t need to show.
Wish I was being satirical or funny.
