Patel Won't Rule Out FBI Agents At the Polls Because … He Got Tired of Dems Asking About It?

Originally published at: Patel Won’t Rule Out FBI Agents At the Polls Because … He Got Tired of Dems Asking About It?

FBI At the Polls Bc I’m Annoyed FBI Director Kash Patel appeared before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday and seemed, at least initially, interested in following federal laws against deploying armed federal law enforcement to polling places this fall. Under federal law, armed federal agents or members of the military cannot be deployed to…

Kash Patel is a smug SOB, much like most of the Trump administration in their testimony before constitutionally mandated legislative oversight committees.

That’s only because he is, at his core, a sociopath.

Only powered by the inclusion in the Trump Administration. His “courage” comes from that and only that. And he is too dumb to understand to play it cool. Instead, he lets all the squicky little parts of him out in public view. When it comes, he will be standing there alone, naked and totally afraid. I hope what comes for him will be ironic, hits to the core of his nightmares and insecurities.

Tomorrow in the NYT:

Patel’s remarks shock, but did he really, technically, break the law?

Kash Patel is an odious little shit and needs to be frog-marched to prison.

I hope he’ll be just as big a troll at his trial.

Patel will probably be the first one to head to the big house.

“Voters see Republicans broadly as more extreme, more elitist and more corrupt than Democrats, according to the poll. And while voters continue to have doubts about both parties, they aligned more with the Democratic Party on both cultural and economic matters than the Republican Party in the survey.”
– Josh Marshall, quoting the New York Times

Right, and matters are simple:

  • Cultural: be honest with truthful information; everyone votes; majority rules.
  • Economic: enrich the middle-class; Trickle-Up economics works; competition is good.

“Election integrity is of paramount importance."

Of course.

But applying Trump’s proposed protection force program against a population that is known to be 99.999999997% legitimate and law-abiding, I’d argue the Republican Party is blowing up the debt because it likes to. Their debt addiction is killing America.

Money is no object, they say, as long as it’s not billionaire’s.

Unfortunately, I see scenarios where FBI goes in and seizes machines and ballots during the day - they got a warrant once in Atlanta to do that - and then marks the scene closed as a “crime scene” such that people in that precinct have no place to vote. Repeat. Or the FBI seizes the machines and ballots from a precinct before they are counted. Or they seize the ballot information from the clerk office responsible for recording each precinct vote again pursuant to a warrant. And thus many are disenfranchised and never have their votes counted.

2 more Pennsylvanians die with measles, reigniting fight between RFK Jr. and Josh Shapiro - POLITICO

Politico frames this, neutrally, as a “fight” – in this case between a sane, fact-based human, namely Josh Schapiro; and an insane, unhinged scumbag, namely RFK Jr. Great job, “mainstream” “news” media
