Originally published at: MAGA Podcaster Named Deputy FBI Director, As Patel’s FBI Quickly Becomes Extension Of The WH - TPM – Talking Points Memo
Days after Trump loyalist Kash Patel was narrowly confirmed as FBI Director by the Senate, President Donald Trump announced on Sunday the installment of right-wing pundit and MAGA conspiracy theorist Dan Bongino as deputy FBI director, the position responsible for overseeing day-to-day operations at the FBI. The announcement of Trump ally Bongino as number two…
Bongino is number two alright. Is it the kind that you scrape off your shoe or the kind that you throw your shoes away?
It’s only a matter of time until Trump appoints Judge Judy to the Supreme Court.
Only a matter of time…
More like throw them into a medical waste incinerator.
Wow number two at the FBI, and he has no executive experience with large complex organizations. Hey what can go wrong?
OT. Has anyone heard a peep from any rethug about our refusal to vote in the UN to condemn Russia for invading Ukraine?
ETA. The first question to Stefanik when she appears for approval as UN Ambassador must be waddaya think about this.
ETA2. Any doubt I may have had is now gone. Putin owns trump. He is their puppet.
No, but they all think the UN is a communist plot. Because russia told them so.
Trump, the Trump cabinet, and the Trump appointees are the antithesis of meritocracy, and they have the audacity to question the qualifications of dedicated government employees? Such BS!
God lord, buckle up people! It’s going to be a very bumpy few years. Ugly, bumpy, cruel, and just plain awful. God help us, says the non-believer. God help us all.
All this guy does is vomit up vitriol at liberals. That apparently makes him a perfect choice for FBI Assistant Director. SMFH.
Dan Bongo is what we would now call ‘intellectually-disabled’, he blocked me on twitter for calling out his BS.
Can we finally all agree that Fat Hitler is out of his mind?
Nope.
Thank you for your service.
Here is your medal.
Wear it loud and proud.
Conservatives need safe spaces.
Serious question: I wonder if the craziness and flat-out illegality of Patel’s and Bongino’s ideas/rhetoric will make Fibbies turn away from the nationalist/Christianist agenda?
Well, I hope #3 at the FBI knows how to run the place. M.
Wouldn’t be surprised if the person who planted that bomb in January 2021 wasn’t now just recently appointed to work in the FBI Directors office.
No, Trump will nominate “judge” Aileen Cannon to the Supreme Court to replace Thomas or Alito. She’s exactly his kind of shameless crooked lackey. Remember her role illegally sabotaging the stolen secret documents case on his behalf?
Nah, Judge Judy will keep the circus atmosphere alive, plus now we have a Staten Island Guido threatening everyone. Cannon is definitely shameless but w/o personality. Gotta keep it fresh!
Hey, make that Queens Guido, which is where he hailed from. He attended Archbishop Malloy HS, the same school Andrew Cuomo graduated an hour was an NYPD officer as well.
Okay, okay, yeah, Queens, but I always liked Staten Island Guidos in their Trans Am with T tops, spending my summer weekends there.
What is it with Bongino threatening people? Idiot also has under grad and grad degree in psychology. There’s zero humor in this guy.
