  1. We need a mandatory retirement age for Congress

  2. Why do they talk about the Jan 6 rioters like they’re the bad guys after Trump just pardoned them? They’re the bad guys when it’s convenient to say that Pelosi failed, or military leadership failed but then they celebrate the rioters?

  3. “cowards in uniform” means democrats, not the police on j6. Got it.

    I guess absolutely atrocious communication skills is a MAGA qualification.

  4. His parents ran form oppression and look what’s happening in the US now…. bringing his negative energy here

  5. Now I figured out why Kash bothers me… He looks like Fisher Stevens in Short Circuit.

  6. “Some may say this is an unserious caricature”

    ya don’t say…

  7. Yes you probably will find those things on your stupid bingo card Tillis. Because Kash said them. It’s documented.

  8. Okay. It’s time. We can’t let this shit stand. He held up a fucking Ka$h bingo card.

  9. it is an “unserious caricature” you small cowardly account rep for MAGA oligarchs.

  10. Can we also have them play bingo with a project 2025 card after? I like this game.

    We’ll randomly select project 2025 executive orders and go over trumps EOs. First one to get bingo gets Trump crypto. Second place gets Melania crypto.

  11. “They traversed the oceans to be here”. Wow some rich people flew on a plane. What a burden.

  12. These guys all seem to find religion just in time for their testimonies.

  13. Just saying numbers with no context really hides the fact that crime is down significantly

  14. Every single picture I see of this chucklefuck, he’s got a look on his face like he just MAJORLY fucked up at work and his bosses are reaming him out for it.

  15. “I agree to respond to inquires expeditiously” unless its requested by democrats, in which case I never received it.

  16. $10 says Chuck Grassley’s little twerp aide behind him has an alarm on his iPhone for “Mr. Grassley’s poopy time”.

  17. No taxpayer money but tesla money will be and tesla will be reimbursed

  18. These guys pass up no opportunity to attack people who disagree with them.

    “Will you agree to not retaliate against whistleblowers, unlike the previous director Christopher Wray?”

    No example given.

  19. Why yes I do believe the dishonest gaslighting shitbag

  20. If Patel doesn’t believe in conspiracies, he’ll obviously say Trump lost the 2020 election, right?

  21. These hearings are pointless. They will say anything and deny their entire history. The senators who are supposed to be vetting the nominees are actually just coaching them to say what is most palatable

  22. Kash Patel quote about QAnon from 2022. From the NY Times:

    “The Q thing is a movement a lot of people attach themselves to,” he said in a 2022 interview. “I disagree with a lot of what that movement says, but I agree with a lot of what that movement says.”

  23. So kash, you had 16 years where you fulfilled your responsibilities as a professional, and then MAGA and Trump came along, and you saw an opportunity to jump ahead by being a slimy little fuck, making shit up, talking out of 2 sides of your mouth and committing to 100% MAGA sycophancy?
