Summary
FBI Director Kash Patel, appointed by Donald Trump despite lacking law enforcement experience, has frustrated current and former FBI and DOJ officials with what they see as a lack of seriousness and professionalism.
Patel skipped or scaled back key briefings and ended routine field office meetings, citing leaks.
Critics cite a leadership void, public relations stunts, and excessive travel including multiple trips unrelated to work.
Patel also briefly led the ATF but was quietly replaced after being absent.
He’s also seriously infuriating certain congress people who… would really love him to do his fucking job and get the budget request in.
Here is what is odd.
Kash doesn’t do the budget. It’s not like the director of anything is running the numbers.
He approves stuff. So I am at a loss to understand how he can fuck it up so badly and at such a basic level. Even if he is partying all day and all night, if he doesn’t give two shits, shouldn’t he rubber stamp shit?
It’s beyond bizarre.
It may be intentional.
They seem to be pushing back against any congressional and judicial oversight. They are probably trying to make it so the executive branch doesn’t have to answer for anything including how the FBI uses money.
It certainly looks like they’re doing a soft setup for autocracy.
Everything they’ve done since Jan makes sense when viewed from the perspective that they never plan on facing consequences, accountability, or fair elections ever again.
Everything also makes sense if viewed from the point of view of benefiting Russia.
Its not tin-foil hat, it’s Putin. Its always Putin, using Skum and HitlerPig as his muscle.
When will people truly internalize that the two biggest foreign Sociopathic Oligarchs, have partnered up with the most prolific traitor in American history? None of them have any loyalty or patriotism toward America, and only see us as a big, rich, fat, lazy target to be ruthlessly exploited and looted, and it’s happening in real time before our eyes.
All they care about is money, and either Putin is paying them directly out of the Russian Treasury (HitlerPig would rape and murder his own mother for far less than a billion bucks, and Putin could order a lot more than that), or they’ve cut a deal to split the booty like the pirates they are.
Why would they need to worry? They already stole the election in 2024, they can do it again.

All the evidence I’ve seen to date is shaky at best. The strongest evidence is how brazenly they have acted since taking office, indicating the type of confidence you’d expect after already successfully subverting democracy, but they’ve been already successfully subverted democracy for decades with the endless stream of disinformation and propaganda… I still haven’t recovered from the migrant caravans or Obamas tan suit.
Read the first and last link. The Russian Tail is obvious. There’s your smoking guns.
I would but I’ve never heard of either of those sources. Do you have any reputable sources? I would love to have some ammo to use against some MAGA relatives.
They will just be like well we didn’t do a budget but need money we’ll get it from doge don’t worry about it
Five bucks says he was told to wait for a budget to be provided from the DOGE.
He approves stuff. So I am at a loss to understand how he can fuck it up so badly and at such a basic level. Even if he is partying all day and all night, if he doesn’t give two shits, shouldn’t he rubber stamp shit?
the budget request is probably collecting dust in his in-box while he’s multiplexing online poker tables. or raid shadow legends. he looks like the kind of guy that plays raid.
He was put in that position to kill the FBI, the notoriously right wing institution has been engineering its own destruction and now the bill is due… they loved sewing, guess they’re not looking forward to the reaping
sowing? I was confused there for a second. The mental image of a reaper taking away someone’s quilt was funny though.

A beautiful word that is exactly what people think it is.
I’d prefer a khakistocracy.
I would hope people who spend or spent their career at the J. Edgar Hoover Building take the values of seriousness and professionalism seriously.
For the record, I’m not saying junior level agents or specialists or whatever get a choice of what DC building they work in. But people with influence need to change the fucking name of the building. Even in this divisive age, I’d like to think we can come together to say J. Edgar Hoover was a piece of actual shit.
Gee whiz, it would be a shame if a lot of trained investigators decided to do a little off the books research into what Putin has on Donnie. A real shame…
What would that matter at this point?
They’d need to do something more.
The FBI spied on trump as well as got caught lying about the Biden laptop scandal to help Biden win the 2020 campaign so… Would it be surprising if he directed Patel to fuck with the FBI on purpose?
That first article is disingenuous MSM propaganda; claiming the investigations of Trump staff were similar to the Red Scare is disgusting. I’m not defending the FBI’s crimes, but investigating suspects much longer than the evidence should allow is completely different to destroying the lives of thousands of people associated with suspected leftists. The situations are not even remotely equivalent.
And that second articles MAGA mental illness is made clear in the first few sentences.
Find better sources. Stop injecting cult propaganda into your veins.
The second article is garbage hiding behind MSNBC.
Yeah, if you need MBFC to tell you that is a propaganda op, you should quit the internet for life.
If people could recognize obvious propaganda when they saw it, we wouldn’t be 100 days into Trump’s second term.
Lol, yes – Let’s hear from a conservative opinion piece and also the founder of Citizens United’s pet propaganda project to make our point about a factual event. I do appreciate the citing though, please keep doing that just with real sources.
