In the race between Patel and Hegseth, who wins?

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

As if it wasn't illegal enough to have the SWAT team become his girlfriend's security detail (No credible threats have been disclosed and even credible threats don't entitle a girlfriend to SWAT), the girlfriend's drunk friend is wasting our tax dollars as well:

Keystone Kash is an embarrassment to the nation.

You would think, but he is not even an outlier. It is a damn clown circus, from Pirro to Miller. It is like the inmates have literally taken over the asylum.

Admittedly, many of the members of Trump's team, and that is sure using the word "team" loosely. Well they get a "bless your heart" kind of pass, initially. I mean they just ain't that smart. Hegseth? Kennedy Jr.? I know Hegseth went to Princeton, maybe it was his basketball skills. But a BA in Political Science, not that impressive.

In almost every department, these people are in over their head. And you can empathize with that, but the refusal to accept criticism, the obsession with impression, social media? I mean that shit has to go. These people don't give a damn. They are "living the dream", and while they talk about saving tax payer dollars they are all about using those dollars for their own benefit.

Trump claims to be a businessman. But let's just be honest here. If the government really was ran like a business, you think Keystone Kash would still have his job? Hell damn no. Dropped like a hot potato. Like, get your stuff out, you got two hours. Same for Noem, Hegseth--way too much damn drama. But Pirro, OMG, she would have been looking for work weeks ago.

Democrats want a Trump scalp, and they aren't going to get one.
Three more years of the best administration in history, after the worst administration in history.

I'll be rejoicing from my collected scalps in due course.

I'm not calling Uber any more. If any average nobody can get a SWAT ride home, then I qualify.

That's an unusually egregious troll.........even for you.

Democrats want a Trump scalp

Every patriotic American should want the best and the brightest to be staffing the regime. That isn't what we have. What we have is the worst because they are the most sycophantic.

False choice.

Should I have added the blonde, sock puppet named Pam to the list?

You should have added yourself onto the list. It takes a sick person to enjoy being a troll day in and day out.

Your inability to refute a word I write does not make my posts trolls. It makes them the bane of your insignificant existence.

We elected Trump for many reasons, but mostly because we knew what his policy priorities would be.
Trump put people into his cabinet that would implement those policies.
After the Biden disaster, I'm surprised that you can't see that Trump is working very hard everyday to make the US better for hard working Americans, and is succeeding. The mid-terms are coming fast, and voters will choose who they want in congress, Trump knows time is short and he needs to move the needle soon.

Since it's all over the front page of newspapers around the country I hardly think I need to explain why Pete's head should be on the chopping block. There's a persuasive argument to be made he should already be gone, and never should have been nominated in the first place.

Consequently, this story is flying under the radar.

Kash Patel ordered FBI detail to give girlfriend’s pal a lift home: sources​

FBI Director Kash Patel has — on more than one occasion — ordered that the security detail protecting his girlfriend escort one of her allegedly inebriated friends home after a night of partying in Nashville, according to three people with knowledge of the incidents.

Patel’s girlfriend, Alexis Wilkins, asked FBI agents on her security team at least two times, including once this spring, to drive her friend home, and agents objected to diverting from their assignment, said the sources, who were granted anonymity to discuss nonpublic matters. But Patel insisted they do as Wilkins requested and in one case called the leader of Wilkins’ security detail and yelled at him to do so.

News of the effort to deploy agents to provide security for a private citizen has spread through the bureau and beyond, as agents have grown increasingly concerned by Patel’s use of the bureau’s strapped resources, the people said.

FBI spokesperson Ben Williamson broadly disputed that such events took place.

“This is made up and did not happen,” Williamson said.

But Kash has two things going for him. One, it would be a bad look to fire both the FBI director and the Sec. of Defense. Two, now that the media has speculated Patel has one foot out the door it makes trump want to pretend the reporting is wrong.

Therefore, in a normal circumstance, I'd give the edge to Pete. But Don's priority in these matters is not national security. It is saving face by not firing anyone since it would be a tacit admission he hired the wrong people. A reflection on his poor judgement. And we mustn't have that. After all, he's infallible.

And of course there will be no race between Hegseth and Patel. The media has been so viscious in trashing both that neither would be a viable candidate.

Democrats and "not Democrats" are masters of personal destruction as a political strategy. Trump is giving a little back, but he doesnt have their decades of coordinated action.

For example, I have never once heard Donald Trump cite an "anonymous source for some bizarre anti-democrat story." I cannot remember the last time.An anti Trump/Trumper story did Not have an anonymous source.

berg80, can you name one?

On behalf of all the wannabe mods.

This is a DUPE THREAD.

Making you un-American.

THIS should be on the LAW AND JUSTICE SYSTEM BOARD.

This thread being on the political board is RAPE.

funny how all of you stories rely on "the sources"

Patel found the pipe bomber in 8 months, while Wray spent four years with his dick in his hand doing the ridiculous partisan bullshit Biden ordered him to do.

 

[berg80]

The media isn't and shouldn't be a reason for their dismissal. Their actions are. Hegseth, as the IG's report explains in granular detail, displayed his lack of fitness for the job with the Signal chat debacle. A mistake that would have resulted in the court martial of any officer who did something similar.
Patel has been an embarrassment from the start as well. Largely because, like Hegseth, he lacks the necessary experience to do the job Dotard gave them to do. Ultimately, that's Dotard's fault..........and the fault of the feckless Senate R's who confirmed them.

Kills you that they are both crushing their jobs. LOL Brings us joy.
