Originally published at: Kash Patel And His Enemies List Come To Congress - TPM – Talking Points Memo
Kash Patel, Trump’s nominee for director of the FBI, appears before the Senate Judiciary Committee Thursday at 9:30 a.m. ET. Patel has habitually trashed the bureau he’s hoping to lead, condemning the “gangsters at the FBI.” The former DOJ prosector has dismissed the investigations into Trump as politically motivated, and vowed to go after the…
DEI should be relabeled DBHA, for Don’t Be a Horse’s Ass.
Pick-me Patel’s circus sideshow is a good enough time to bitch about this DEI shit as any.
Silly MAGA. Women do not outnumber men by 3:1 in healthcare professions because of diversity, equity and inclusion. It’s the OTHER WAY AROUND! Nurses, phlebotomists, x-ray, ultrasound, PT, OT, dieticians, pharmacy technicians, housekeeping, meal prep, sterile processing, billing, reception, transcription, all are dominated by women.
There aren’t enough men to do the jobs, and not a lot of men would even want to. A lot of men don’t generally like women, don’t generally want to be outnumbered by women all day, and don’t generally go into fields that they don’t generally perceive as masculine endeavors. A lot of men are horse’s asses, quite frankly.
Now, the privilege of being a horse’s ass is about 7/8 of the Great Again that MAGA want to Make America. But in industries like healthcare, where women outnumber men over 3:1, it simply isn’t possible to be a horse’s ass towards women! They won’t put up with that shit and they shouldn’t.
Everyone worried about DEI getting banned, should just rename the policy DBHA. Don’t Be A Horse’s Ass, America. Nothing to see here, Pick-me!
Chuck Schumer is concerned about Kash Patel. Very concerned.
Details tonight, at 6PM. Or not.
Kash Patel is the best person trump could come up with to lead the FBI?
The blog entry about law enforcement officials asking Patel not be confirmed is laughable.
How many of those LE officials voted for the First Felon, knowing full well what the outcome would be?
It’s astonishing the hypocrisy coming from that quadrant.
Most anything trump comes up with is astonishing. And not in a good way.
Not the First Felon in this case, but the LE’s that are requesting Patel not be confirmed.
They knew who the FF was proposing for this role and what the plan was back at the election - it was no secret then.

Hard to believe that Kash is a Trump pick. He’s not even close to white-adjacent. I guess he’s Trump’s DEI pick for a cabinet office.
I am guessing given Donald Trump’s criteria for the position, it was the first name that came to mind. Clearly Kash Patel made it clear that he would politicize the position for Trump in his book.
But also clearly Patel is not competent in a Bill Barr sort of way. So, your point is excellent, this was the best they could do. The upside, he is not a competent crook, and the downside, he is not a competent FBI director.
That some Republicans have come out against him suggests they really do not like his lack of Machiavellian competence. IMO, if they were against politicization of the DOJ, they would not put people like Bill Barr at the DOJ. For Donald Trump, power is not only stabbing people in the back, but showing them the blade before he does it, so Kapel is a great candidate.
Susan Rose-Ackerman wrote this two decades ago. She may be the first to see Trump and the oligarchs coming.
Corruption, standing alone, is not comparable to hunger, disease, and violence among the world’s problems. However, if the weak government capacities of which it is a symptom persist, targeted policies will fail in weak and dysfunctional states. This is especially so when a central state is under the control of a narrow group that does not operate in the interest of most of the population.
But is Susan Collins concerned? Until she expresses concern we don’t need to be concerned.
Or something.
Kash is an idiot’s useful idiot. He’s pretty stupid, but he’s even more unscrupulous, and thus just what The Felon wants.
The Fraternal Order of Pigs, who endorsed TMF, was very huffy about TMF pardoning the J6 rioters. Perhaps they are going to express similar “concern” about this gumball’s nomination.
I have a question:
The person offering you this job is a known liar, fraud, and sexual predator. What kind of person would accept a job from a person like that?
A known liar, fraud and sexual predator. Throw in being a bit of a psychopath as Patel seems to be and we have a perfect storm.
Kash Patel is the best pick to make Libtards gnash their teeth and pull their hair out, which is the only true standard for qualification in Trump II.
Sadly, Susan Collins may be more concerned about the events of the last 10 days than Chuck Schumer.
Will anyone bring his lies up about what he really did (and didn’t) do?
Bueller? Bueller? Anyone?
