Wow, that’s wild that a brainless podcaster whose main qualification was supporting a bunch of Trump conspiracy bullshit didn’t turn out to be really good at running the FBI

FBI under Kash Patel has become ‘internally paralyzed by fear’, new report reveals
(www.theguardian.com)
"It's the FBI Michael, how hard could it be to run?"
There's always intel in the banana stand
There are always redactions in the Epstein files.
Hey, you forgot his most important qualification: children's book author.
He looks like he would place a landmine under a door mat for the express purpose of selling g someone new legs.
And fuck every single one of the senators who voted to confirm him. They are a rubber stamp. Actually, that’s disrespectful to rubber stamps everywhere.
The only thing worse than an incompetent fascist is a competent fascist, so I'll take this as good news. Imagine a J. Edgar Hoover version of the FBI right now. No thank you.
(that's what homeland security is)
Hoover was an evil genius, however.
Is the fear paralysis how they get the googlie eyes?
Dude always looks like he's halfway through shitting himself.
hes probably like those victorian people who used atropine drops on thier eyes, instead he uses liquid cocaine.
Viagra eyes, or he uses cocaine drops.
I think you get those being on the internet all day
What a shithole country.
I'm here and I'm ashamed of it.
Same, fam. Same. :(
Scar would make for a better leader. Or most Disney villains, for that matter. They at least have some level of competency.
... 🤮
That was always the plan
Its a perfect time for foreign adversaries to turn agents.
They already turned the orange buffoon decades ago, these are just the little fish.

Everything is working exactly as it was planned. Putin must be so proud
My first thought. Exactly as planned.
poor lil guy
maybe he should get a real job
Well, pugs aren't really working dogs. Maybe someone could record him being derpy for tik tok or something?
He hides it really well. My man should play poker.
It good to know that the internal terror has caught up the the external terror that’s been on display since day one.
It's fine. The White House says:
Federal hiring, promotions, and performance reviews will reward individual initiative, skills, performance, and hard work
So there's no way he could be unqualified.
Who’d’ve thought a dude that looked like that would give off “paralyzed by fear” vibes?
He's doing such a shitty job, I don't think ad hominem attacks are really necessary.
Yeah his entire existence is an attack on hominids
Who are they afraid of? Aren’t these supposed to be FBI agents?
One would argue this is why he was picked
I'm surprised HWMNBN has kept so many flunkies around for so long. He ran through senior staff ~~goons~~ faster than he runs through wives the first time around.
Fewer entrapments, false-flag operations and red squad operations? Fine by me.
One stated he “lacks the requisite knowledg
That on its own is enough to disqualify him.
But, it seems lacking knowledge or understanding is a pre-requisite for being appointed by Trump.
It's the only wat Trump can pretend he is the smartest person in the room.
kakistocracy
Great example of 'say the same thing enough times, eventually someone will believe you'. I this case, 'gubmint don't work'.
Kash Patel can suck bubba dick
Exactly as MAGA wants.
Punchable banchode.
