Kash Patel, FBI Director 

What a world the Grand Old Party has us living in. Pass me some old school ear plugs, our death rattle is deafening 

We managed to survive Hoover, but yeah, this isn't good.

For some extra excitement about Patel, it's not like he's written a children's book about trump being a king or anything

Don't worry, he's also been paid by China, so it balances out, right?

TBH for Kash his wikipedia page is a good source

Patel was paid $25,000 in 2024 to appear in a six-part film series entitled "All the President's Men: The Conspiracy Against Trump." The series was made by a company owned by Igor Lopatonok, a Russian national and U.S. citizen, who had previously produced films alleging deep state conspiracy theories and promoting narratives of the Russian government. The series ran on the Tucker Carlson media platform in November 2024, with Patel appearing as a supposed victim of the deep state.

Pretty crazy that the head of the FBI starred in russian propaganda films just a few months ago

Just posting this for the sheer Dan Marino of it....

I mean....this is a real thing.  That actually happened.

Imagine having a time machine, you go back ten years ago, and you tell everyone that 1) a Republican president will nominate 2) a person who willingly starred in Russian propaganda films to run the FBI, who also 3) openly stated that he wanted to dissolve the FBI, 4) wrote a book where that same president was portrayed as a king, and 5) he will be confirmed and will actually run the FBI.

100% of people out there would say you are insane....yet you would be the one who's right, and all of them would be wrong.

This timeline is beyond satire and imagination.

Yes. This is how the paramilitary force that's answerable only to the Party and the Leader gets directed. The footsoldiers were already identified as Jan6 attackers, they just need command and control now.

Ok, last one out turn off the lights, or don’t. Maybe leave the stove on with the pilot light out and a metal rod in the microwave set to 10 minutes. But I’d motor, or you’ll soon fly.

I gotta give Dan Bongino credit for at least retaining half of Rush Limbaugh's audience when he died. I remember when Howard Stern left terrestrial radio it was almost a 90% drop for most markets, especially the ones who picked David Lee Roth instead of Opie and Anthony. 

But I guess this means all of his affiliates will switch over to Clay Travis and "Buck" whoever the fuck that is? Imagine you're Rush Limbaugh and your timeslot gets taken by a guy who worked on the Bill Clinton campaign. Dude is probably spinning in his grave.

Bingobongo is telling the truth in this video clip. "The only thing that matters is power. Power. That is all that matters. A system of checks and balances? HAH! That's a good one."

This FBI is gonna make Hoover's ghost get an erection for longer than 4 years.

The truth is even simpler.  If you wanted to draft a plan for "how to create a Stasi here in the US," this would be a critical step.

That's the most Long Island thing ever. If you've spent any amount of time out there, especially once you get past Nassau County, you'll understand that this is totally on brand for that type of New Yorker.

Jay Bhattacharya is a nominee for NIH. There are several linked articles in the thread that follows this initial post. One from Tech Dirt that I link directly: 

https://www.techdirt.com/2024/12/10/for-bhattacharya-free-speech-means-freedom-to-defund-dissenters/    

is important because it directly relates to withholding funding for university campuses & reserchers that don't conform to the campus "culture"  of which the fascists approve. Chilling on a McCarthy level loyalty purge. Bhuttacharya's hearing is set for March 5.

Why is that tool wearing a fucking ball cap to a cabinet meeting. And a t-shirt for that matter. 

You must not know that he's really cool because he's a 53-year-old edgelord.

And, per the simps sitting around another conference table, sucking up to try to keep their jobs, his "meme game is on point."

So, clearly, he is qualified to literally run the entire country.  Duh.

Kash Patel wants to bring UFC to the FBI

https://abcnews.go.com/US/story?id=119255318

Quote

Newly-installed FBI Director Kash Patel, whose proclaimed plans to overhaul the nation's premier law enforcement agency have rattled many within the bureau, has proposed enhancing the FBI's ranks with help from the Ultimate Fighting Championship, the martial-arts entertainment giant whose wealthy CEO, Dana White, helped boost President Donald Trump's reelection, according to sources who were told of Patel's proposal.

On a teleconference Wednesday with the heads of the FBI's 55 field offices, Patel suggested that he wants the FBI to establish a formal relationship with the UFC, which could develop programs for agents to improve their physical fitness, said sources who had been briefed on Wednesday's call.

The virtual meeting with each field office's special-agent-in-charge has long been a weekly occurrence, but this week's call was the first led by Patel, who was sworn in as director on Friday.

Within hours of Wednesday's call, word of Patel's UFC proposal spread to current and former FBI officials around the country.

"If they're trying to up their physical fitness, the UFC is very specific in their fitness," said ABC News contributor Rich Frankel, the former special agent in charge of the FBI's Newark, New Jersey, office.

It's not clear exactly what Patel would want UFC to do or provide to help improve fitness among FBI ranks.

Though Patel's UFC proposal stood out to some who heard about the meeting, Patel addressed a range of issues on the call, according to sources.

Kash Patel is sworn in during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on his nomination to be FBI Director, on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., Jan. 30, 2025.

The new director tried to calm some of the concerns among FBI agents after the Justice Department last month demanded a list of the thousands of agents who aided investigations stemming from the Jan. 6, 2021, assault on the U.S. Capitol and suggested that even those just following orders could be fired, the sources said.

There were also concerns about Patel's recent announcement that as many as 1,500 employees at FBI headquarters in Washington, D.C, would be reassigned to field offices and to an FBI office in Huntsville, Alabama. And last week's controversial email from the Office of Personnel Management demanding that all federal employees list what they had accomplished over the previous week or face termination only added to concerns within the FBI, sources said.

During Wednesday's call, Patel expressed his own concerns about that email and with confusing follow-up messages from the Trump administration's new Department of Government Efficiency, which has been guided by billionaire businessman Elon Musk, sources said.

Patel, on the call, also touted the FBI's work fighting crime and national security threats, and he asked the FBI officials to give him a chance to prove himself as their new leader, sources said. But he also warned them that he would not tolerate "leaks" or what he sees as other forms of insubordination.

Nevertheless, it was Patel's proposal to ask the UFC for help that quickly created some buzz within the FBI community. UFC is based in Las Vegas, where Patel now lives.

White, who is estimated to be worth hundreds of millions of dollars, has long been friends with Trump and last year became a big donor to Trump's presidential campaign. He joined Trump on stage in Florida during Trump's victory speech in November just hours after polls closed on Election Day.

During the speech, Trump recalled how he "helped [White] out a little bit" years earlier when no one else was willing to host UFC fights, claiming that UFC is now "one of the most successful sports enterprises anywhere at any time."

Trump also said that UFC "is the roughest sport I've ever seen," featuring fighters who "really go at it."

Just days after Trump won the election in November, Trump attended a heavily-promoted UFC fight at Madison Square Garden in New York City, where he sat in the front row between White and Musk.

Frankel, who spent more than two decades with the FBI, said the FBI may benefit from increasing its physical fitness standards -- so the idea of the UFC helping with the FBI's training regimen may not be as unusual as it sounds.

He said some FBI offices have previously brought in martial arts experts and others to offer tips to agents.

But, said Frankel, "I don't want UFC to take over the gym."

Asked about Patel's proposal to collaborate with the UFC, an FBI representative declined to comment to ABC News.
