Can someone ask him about Valhalla?
Someone ask him:
When do we get to see pics/vids of this Tyler Robinson character holding the gun, and evidence that the gun/shell recovered in a “wooded area” matches the slug that killed CK?
after that shitshow of the first 2 arrested suspects dont believe shit this guy has to say.
Instead of resting ‘bitch face’, Patel has resting ‘what the fuck is going on here?’ face.
Patel is going to melt down. He hasn’t been asked the first question and he’s a nervous wreck
I want to see this moron fired but we all know he’s doing exactly what he’s being told to do.
He’ll say dumb things.
He won’t know basic requirements.
That’s a given for any members of this administration.
Wonder what will be different
He’s giving a litany of fake statistics to hide his incompetence.
Why is he sniffing constantly? Did he visit the white house doctor?
Someone please ask this man to take a drug’s test
We all have to take them for employment thesedays….let’s see his results from today!!!!
I hope he is pressed on the term antifa. Make this administration admit they are pro fascist.
Easy way to make him look like an idiot up there today.
Are his notes in a 36pt font or something, why the hell is he flipping through so many pages. I suspect that binder could be reduced to a five-page packet of “facts”.
This should be good
does this guy even know what he’s reading. What does this have to do with Kirk?
This is a waste of time. Listen to him. He has no idea wtf he’s talking about.
LOL Trump on MSNBC saying the Fed should be listening ‘to smart people like me’.
Yeah let’s listen to the guy who bankrupted how many businesses?
Why does he always look like he got caught by surprised the instant he shit his pants? That’s his expression every time I see him.
I’ve never seen an active FBI director run their dick licker on national tv about an ongoing investigation. I’m sure the lawyers were thrilled about that.
If they sat closer together, Grassley and Patel could just give each other a handie and save us amateur theatre.
Patel always has that cock-eyed confused look.
Trump: We’ve taken in trillions from tariffs.
Meanwhile we’re still spending more than we’re taking in? And that’s after cutting aid, social programs and thousands of federal positions.
The math doesn’t math.
Durbin – “Why was the Epstein memo unsigned?”
Patel – “Would you have preferred I used an auto-pen?”
Oh fawk off with that shit.
E; ooo, getting feisty now
Kash is so full of shit that it’s coming out of his mouth
He’ll take anything he did and claim it was “historic.”
My god, Durbin is too fucking old, his lethargic interview style allows Patel to steamroll him, even tho he’s full of shit.
The Democrats need new leaders in Congress ASAP.
People in their mid-90s should not be in Congress, even less so, run an Oversight Hearing.
I fucking hate how they just eat these bullshit answers and don’t even push back then move on. What is the point of any of this
This guy is just fucking weird. Just look at his eyes, look at his body movements. Say what you want about him, what he thinks and says or whatever, but as a human being this man is just straight up weird. Something ain’t right.
Lindsey saying Venezuela is a state sponsor of terrorism. They are totally gearing up to go to justify invading them.
This is all just theater…plays nice and explains when asked by Republicans. Obviously, instructed to be confrontational and disrespectful as possible when addressed by anyone left of center. Such a fucking shit show.
Deer in headlights testifies at oversight hearing.
FTFY
And here we go, Graham using Patel to lay the groundwork to repeal Section 230. But we know it really has nothing to do with bullying or child trafficking or porn. It is for the Mango Mussolini to have a hand around the throats of every provider (tighter than now anyway) and truly quash all voices of dissent during our nation’s spiral into a full authoritarian regime.
Here come Congress’s theater of holding this administrations feet to the fire. A few gotcha soundbites, everyone paying attention knows the person being grilled is a Trump sycophant and unqualified moron, and then … nothing happens and they go back to their job. Very cool system of checks and balances.
They sacked all the fucking people!!!!
Whitehouse is much better at this than the others, but the Dems really need to get their shit together.
Patel just isn’t very bright. He wants to be, but he fails every time.
Have we ever had such an unqualified, unserious set of people throughout so many key positions? Even W had some unfavorables (Rumsfeld, Ashcroft, etc), but they at least had some semblance of qualification in their resumes. Meanwhile we have an overstimulated podcaster/children’s book author running the FBI.
