Who would have thought he had anything to hide? What with taking the 5th at his nomination hearing and all. Who would have thought?

What it looks like: Radical far right, Trump tribe, about 20% of us, is at war with Radical far left, the ACLU tribe about 20% of us, and 60% of us in the middle are set up for losses. What is really happening: The Kremlin is taking control of U.S. Gov and 100% of us are getting set up for losses.

This guy reads like a Nazi. However, I do believe he’s just a moron.

I hope one of our leaders will point out that there's damning evidence showing Patel to be a Russian asset & anyone voting to confirm him clearly shows they vote in the best interest of Russia, not as Patriots of the United States

You have to challenge their patriotism on a stage the cult sees

adamct.bsky.social•14 days ago

Ask them flat out; "Are you Patriots or are you Comrades?"

Senator Adam Schiff torched Kash Patel:

"Mr. Patel may be, I don't know, but he may be the first nominee for FBI Director in history who felt it necessary to plead the 5th."

BOOM!

The amount of Americans that have taken money from Russia and China has to be incredibly low. I can’t be the only one that thinks these are things that are looking for in candidates.

The russian backed gop scoff at that number and get price matched for their already guaranteed yes vote, bonus pay.

Nikita Khrushchev said, "We will bury you." Putin has been following through on this by playing the long game. Disinformation has infiltrated the cyber world and is part of Putin plan to destabilize and destroy the United States.

His boss already acts like a Russian asset, and now we will have this gentleman and Tulsi, in case the boss is playing golf at any given time and unreachable.

Cash Patel

Another sterling, honest person in Trump’s world!!

experimental22.bsky.social•14 days ago

By my count, a meeting of the White House cabinet will have 5-6 people who can be safely assumed to be Russian assets, not counting the staff.

Patel is a scumbag

Good. Russia is religious now. Christ is king

Musk has personal links to Putin, and he also has huge debts in China.

Yet he’ll be:
Confirmed! ✅
(Gaetz would have been, too)

Reagan is rolling in his grave

vissing.bsky.social•14 days ago

It doesnt matter. He is loyal to Trump, and the Republicans are too scared to cross Trump.

repeatafterme.bsky.social•14 days ago

And all the followers will be like “nuuh! And even if that’s true it’s for the greater good! And even if it’s not less government!” 🙄

When will Vlad present Kashyup with his Hero of the Motherland medal?

He has done good work

waltmendel.bsky.social•14 days ago

He should renegotiate now. $ 25.000 is ridiculous.

If we let foreign actors take control of our government where will be

823labs.bsky.social•14 days ago

You are only making him look even more attractive to the republican senators confirming him.

joromac.bsky.social•14 days ago

anyone who confirms him is an enemy to the US, and needs to be treated accordingly.

mcsqauk.bsky.social•13 days ago

they are already the enemy to what was the US.
the US government is now controlled by that enemy.
unfortunately the world might soon come to see what the 2nd amendment truly means.

joromac.bsky.social•13 days ago

its not unfortunate. This is literally what it was written for.

mcsqauk.bsky.social•12 days ago

ikr. i meant unfortunate that it could come to that. 💙

@johnfetterman.com DO NOT CONFIRM THIS POS

anonemus13.bsky.social•14 days ago

The enemy isn’t foreign. It’s domestic. It’s in charge. It’s taking orders from our foreign enemies. It’s the exact thing republicans hate and fear, but apparently not more than their transphobia.

Only money matters for these 🐷s. And the FBI is the one investigating them.....

cosmotheshaggydog.bsky.social•14 days ago

At this stage it’s gonna be hard to find a Republican in congress who HAS NOT received money from a Russian entity.

nochecksnobalances.bsky.social•14 days ago

Accepting money from a foreign adversary should exclude one from being eligible for a government position

nochecksnobalances.bsky.social•14 days ago

I swear no one can see that all of these people have been accepting money from a foreign adversary for years. The American people say idly by while the Russians bought the country

CIA and FBI? Ask the CIA and the FBI about the business between the socialist Felipe González Márquez (PSOE) and the Las Vegas Mafia in the Medellín subway (Pablo Escobar) and about the assassination ordered by Henry Kissinger of the President of Spain, Admiral Luis Carrero Blanco.
