Have you noticed that none of Trump's nominees have any qualifications for the jobs they've been nominated for? They've all been nominated for their loyalty to Trump.
P.S. I made no threat against Trump. Just a prediction judging by his words and actions so far and he hasn't even been sworn in yet.
Have you noticed that none of Trump's nominees have any qualifications for the jobs they've been nominated for? They've all been nominated for their loyalty to Trump.
No,I haven’t but then again I’m not triggered. And why would any President nominate folks not loyal to their platform? Do you think Biden did? Or Obama? Or Clinton? Etc ….
Do you think Hegseth is a good pick for Secretary of Defense?
Do you think convicted felon Charles Kushner is a good pick for Ambassador to France?
Thinking these are good picks based on the fact that political opponents dislike them is an extremely error-prone way to operate. Focus on the merits rather than partisan opinions. The ones I listed are quite obvious. My expectation is that since you think Patel is a good pick, you will stand and salute all three; you might bow on Gaetz given the public outcry from GOP members against him ... that would be following, in a partisan fashion, their lead.
After Garland, Buttigieg, Granholm, Wray, and Mayorkas leftists have no room to talk.
So well qualified people who did their jobs is just way too much for those on the right. What the right wants are folks who will burn it all down so all we have left is a bunch of toothless halfwit assholes clinging to their AR-15's as they sit around a whiskey still cooking on the burning rubble of the white house. The rightwing conservative's preferred method of making sure they're the smartest people in the room is to just threaten to shoot anyone smarter than themselves that won't leave, which is pretty much everyone else in America.
Do not normalize Trump. He is an enemy of this country. This latest pick only confirms it. Biden & Harris must not go to his inauguration. They both, everyone, must speak out. Trump is trying to destroy this country. This is not normal. Time to resist. It’s past time.
Time to resist? WTF has been going on the last eight years? Some of the triggered are just too butthurt to ever make it back to the real world and/or just too stupid to realize just how far out in left field they really.
Trump beat two of your chosen ones. Some would say three. Time to pull up your big boy pants and move on.
I’ve never seen such shitty losers. Not even close.
Patel co-wrote the Nunes memo that accurately portrayed how the DOJ lied and misused information obtained from the hoax dossier to spy on american citizens.
Adam Schiff then wrote a memo that lied and misrepresented the DOJ's actions to attack Nunes and label the truth a conspiracy theory. That the Nunes memo was truthful and the Schiff memo a lie wasn't conclusively proven until the IG report came out, by which times Schiff's lies had served their purpose.
That Democrats attack Patel and rallied to elect Schiff to the Senate speaks volumes.
MAGA-think is a bizarro alternate reality where good and bad have flipped.
And Blueanon think is keeping the people who've demonstrably abused power in power. I'd say it was the definition of insanity, if they actually expected that the people would change their behavior, but bluenaon wants them to keep abusing their power, so it is rational in an evil way.
"So you think Patel would ‘clean up’ the FBI rather than abuse it?"
Why do think Patel would abuse the FBI? Are you denying that the FBI has been corrupted and weaponized by the Biden administration sine the beginning? It's way past time to throw the scoundrels out
Don't remember leftists calling out Comey or Obama for abusing the power of the FBI. Don't remember leftists calling out Wray and Biden for abusing the the power of the FBI.
Leftists need to come back to reality; and realize the damage they have done to this country.
No, Ed, it is absolutely NOT the case that every administration loaded itself with sycophants. There is a fundamental difference between a sycophant and like-minded individual. The former does what the PotUS says and will compromise integrity to earn/keep favor. The like-minded individual will serve their office and will NOT simply tell the PotUS what he wants to hear and back down on any difference of opinion.
What Trump is doing right now is historically unique. He is surrounding himself with people who are slavishly loyal to him regardless of their competence to perform the job.
It is a profound disappointment that people do not see this as well as many other things that Trump has done. The blindness here is both mind-boggling and concerning.
It's obvious we are not going to agree here and it is not worth further discussion. You believe what you will and I'll do the same. You have a good day.
So much that Obama Administration gave him an award for his work.
You think this (assuming true) means that Kash Patel could not be a Trump sycophant? Do you ignore what Kash Patel has been saying in the present?
Has it escaped your attention that Trump's VP was totally against Trump at first and has now become his sycophant in chief? Have you not seen many early critics of Trump flip to be devout followers of the asshole? Have you missed all of this?
But getting an award by the Obama administration somehow qualifies (in your mind) as an argument that Patel could not be a Trump sycophant today.
Patel has said he would target journalists, former senior FBI and Department of Justice officials and turn the FBI into a museum for the "deep state" on Day 1.
Patel has said he would target journalists, former senior FBI and Department of Justice officials... (Emphasis added)That's exactly what is needed.
Emphatically, NO. The termination of our Constitutional rights is NOT. Fascism is NOT needed. Apparently, however, some support the imposition of a Fascist authoritarian regime with its boots planted firmly on the necks of the American people.
Do you support putting journalists in the same concentration camps where Trump wants to put 11 million undocumented immigrants? Or do you have elimination in mind for them?
Don't you know? Freedom of speech means some people get to speak more freely than others. /s
Emphatically, NO. The termination of our Constitutional rights is NOT. Fascism is NOT needed. Apparently, however, some support the imposition of a Fascist authoritarian regime with its boots planted firmly on the necks of the American people.
Ironic that the people most vocal about being silenced (if you can figure that one out, let me know ) are the same people who now are vocal about silencing others.
If it wasn’t this lunatic then you may be right. This guy, however, will probably make it his first task to determine who did not vote for Trump and use that information punitively. I have a family member who is a special agent who prosecutes white collar corruption, so I’ll find out how true my suspicions are. Corruption will be protected and even encouraged in this upcoming administration that you so enthusiastically support. Even Bill Barr objected to the idea of this when he was Trump’s lackey.
How would he know who voted for him or not? I thought we have secret ballots in the US. Trump's not talking about rank-and-file FBI agents but their corrupt leadership
It’s cute that you pretend to be unaware of the reach and depth of federal agencies’ means and methods. This pick just demonstrates what the objective of the new administration will be. It’s the equivalent of Gaetz x MTG.
The main problem folks have with this guy is he will work to undercover all the swamp things from the last few years. You’d like to know the real truth right? Or are you hopelessly lost in all the lies and half truths?
Definitely. Rightwing conservatives LOVE corruption as long as it benefits them. They are just one massive moron mafia family who reward and encourage corruption and nepotism as long as it's their brand.
He is the one along with Chris Miller who did not make the call for National Guard reinforcements for hours while the Capitol was under siege on January 6th. In spite of panicked and trapped politicians making many frantic calls for help. This guy is no leader and certainly no example to lead a law enforcement agency when he backed the lawless attack on our American Capitol. America cannot afford a zealot more loyal to one man than loyalty to America and loyalty to protect our law enforcement.
You need to keep up with current events. The call was made but any action was deliberately withheld by order of the DoD, a.k.a. SecDef and CJCS General Mark Milley who bear ultimate responsibility.
This might be Trump's worst pick of all.
Trump is setting himself up for a thousand yard shot.
How can anybody be so insane and expect to get away with it?''
no shit ...
Can you imagine if someone had said that here about Obama or Biden?
The braintrust here would be losing their minds.
Bigly! But hey, five votes and counting
Have you noticed that none of Trump's nominees have any qualifications for the jobs they've been nominated for? They've all been nominated for their loyalty to Trump.

Lol …. Hedging your bets eh? Hilarious!
1.1 says differently:
[✘]
If you don't like Trump's picks, then that's a sure sign he has made the right ones.
Do you think Gaetz was a good pick for AG?
Do you think Hegseth is a good pick for Secretary of Defense?
Do you think convicted felon Charles Kushner is a good pick for Ambassador to France?
Thinking these are good picks based on the fact that political opponents dislike them is an extremely error-prone way to operate. Focus on the merits rather than partisan opinions.

When it comes to unqualified overly partisan garbage Biden's administration is full of it.
Don't worry, Establishment Republicans lead by McConnell are out to deep six most of Trump's picks.
Bitching about an ambassador, really?
Jack Lew ambassador to Israel ring any bells?
Nothing but deflection.
So well qualified people who did their jobs is just way too much for those on the right. What the right wants are folks who will burn it all down so all we have left is a bunch of toothless halfwit assholes clinging to their AR-15's as they sit around a whiskey still cooking on the burning rubble of the white house.

Smart people shoot back
If that's the case then why are current and former DOJ workers running around with their hair on fire?
If he's "the worst pick of all, then why did the Obama administration recognize him for his work?
What will the Democrats do? Are they going to kill trump because he put someone in charge of law enforcement they don’t like?
Continue with their chosen pattern of insults, hate and condescension.
What an existence eh?
It is so predictable it no longer even holds entertainment value.
Yeah, they are only fooling themselves.
Good thing we had practice surviving the hundred or so many on the left said we had during Trumps first presidency.
To be fair, Trump didn't attend theirs so there's no harm in them rejecting this invitation (if they get one) .
I think Biden may get one and he might go. Harris, not a snowballs chance in Hell of either!
Trump and Pence were invited to the Biden Harris affair, Trump chose not to respond, Pence attended while Trump was landing in Florida.
Time to resist? WTF has been going on the last eight years? Some of the triggered are just too butthurt to ever make it back to the real world and/or just too stupid to realize just how far out in left field they really.

Hissy fits and temper tantrums.

That the Nunes memo was truthful and the Schiff memo a lie wasn't conclusively proven until the IG report came out, by which times Schiff's lies had served their purpose.
That Democrats attack Patel and rallied to elect Schiff to the Senate speaks volumes.
Patel is a far right deep state conspiracy theorist and a grifter.
I'm old enough to remember when Democrats supported the exposure of the government abusing its police powers.
So you think Patel would ‘clean up’ the FBI rather than abuse it?
MAGA-think is a bizarro alternate reality where good and bad have flipped.
And Blueanon think is keeping the people who've demonstrably abused power in power. I'd say it was the definition of insanity, if they actually expected that the people would change their behavior, but bluenaon wants them to keep abusing their power, so it is rational in an evil way.

Patel is a Trump sycophant.
The level of delusion in 'Trump support' is astounding.
And the level of derangement towards anything Trump coming from the left, is astronomical.
Don't remember leftists calling out Comey or Obama for abusing the power of the FBI. Don't remember leftists calling out Wray and Biden for abusing the the power of the FBI.
Leftists need to come back to reality; and realize the damage they have done to this country.
Again, deflection to the Ds instead of actually dealing with the issue of Patel being the director of the FBI.
In other words, he does not check the D box in a election. Then I'm sure you would have no problem with him would you?
Yes.
"Patel is a Trump sycophant"
And Biden appointees are not? It has been the same with every incoming administration in this country's history.
No, Ed, it is absolutely NOT the case that every administration loaded itself with sycophants. There is a fundamental difference between a sycophant and like-minded individual. The former does what the PotUS says and will compromise integrity to earn/keep favor.

Just calling BS on all the fabricated outrage.
Are we deflecting?
Make an actual argument.
But see that’s different. Back then he was not a Trump supporter.
My have times changed.
So it's like Trump. They loved him as long as he was part of them. After that, it's set your hair on fire and shriek.
See 4.1.18.
Patel has said he would target journalists, former senior FBI and Department of Justice officials and turn the FBI into a museum for the "deep state" on Day 1.
Trump names longtime ally Kash Patel to lead FBI
That's exactly what is needed.
perhaps if we were a third world disaster, and that is where we beheaded.
Too bad John Gotti isn’t alive he and Patel would work well together. In fact Trump could name Gotti as US Ambassador to Italy.
Emphatically, NO. The termination of our Constitutional rights is NOT. Fascism is NOT needed. Apparently, however, some support the imposition of a Fascist authoritarian regime with its boots planted firmly on the necks of the American people.

Ironic that the people most vocal about being silenced (if you can figure that one out, let me know
) are the same people who now are vocal about silencing others.
Why would you think that's ironic?
Think on it. I am sure that it will come to you.
I am just exercising my 1st Amendment right to free speech.
Really, Greg?
What?.. Is it irony or hypocrisy?
Nevermind
I agree. I want trump and his sycophants to crash the constitution. it's the only thing that's protecting them so far ...
I don't. I don;t want to see what those assholes will replace it with
Your next director of the FBI
And the rats are running for the scuppers.
When they get this level of panic and hysteria, you know they've got to be running scared.
Trump isn't messing around. We've truly been blessed by his being elected.
That comment insane.
Opinions do vary.
Un-fucking-believable.
Perhaps he was blessed by someone, it's just not who his gullible supporters believe it was...
If you work for the fbi, and you did not vote for Trump, you might be looking for another job soon whether you want to or not.
Nope, not if they were being nonpartisan and doing their jobs like they were suppose to be. If they weren’t, then they deserve what they get.
Get to stepping shitbirds.

That sounds like it came straight off of a QAnon bumper sticker. What’s next for you? The half truths of an earth that isn’t flat?
Hyperbolic nonsense
You can't be serious.
It’s who he is.
Yea, sure. And after finding out who they are they will be named terrorists and sent to Texas to be used as slave labor to build a wall,
Definitely. Rightwing conservatives LOVE corruption as long as it benefits them. They are just one massive moron mafia family who reward and encourage corruption and nepotism as long as it's their brand.

I heard a rumor that Patel wants to save Christmas and will investigate people who don't put up Christmas lights. /s
This dumb ass fuckstick won't pass his Congressional hearing, if he even makes it that far.
I'll make it easy for him. I will turn myself in
Well shoot, I guess he can come after me too. I don't do the holidays thing much anymore for reasons that don't matter here.
You can be Scrooge and I'll be the Grinch. I turn green with enough alcohol
Trump's bimbo new press secretary telling the delusional Fox News audience that Trump always tells the truth
Trump land is an alternate reality where lying is the modus operandi.
She needs to go back to grade school to learn what telling the truth looks like
And you feel KJP is just a paragon of truth telling virtue I suppose.
You have to remember DEI hires do not lie.
Kash has some lawyering up. That's how we know he is right for the job.
He is the topkek!
