As if it will matter. These simps don’t give a rat”s ass about the American people or good use of our time and resources.

How any Republican can hold their head up is a mystery to me.

They will have no leg to stand on for eternity after these confirmations.

vcla85.bsky.social•23 days ago

Totally getting confirmed. The question is which Democrats will vote in favor?

snowfallatnight.bsky.social•23 days ago

and still, all the Republicans seem to support him. I’m betting they will come to regret that support.

mikemontreal.bsky.social•23 days ago

Yeah. He’s a real prize.

If only it mattered. Republicans will put him through anyway.

mike-andreski.bsky.social•23 days ago

He could have walked out drug, soiled himself, said "Gleep Mork MAGA" and the Maga would fall over themselves that he was the best nominee ever in the history of the world.

neptuniandemocracy.bsky.social•23 days ago

Whitehouse really nailed him

shedevilpatrol.bsky.social•23 days ago

Well, he had his uniform on, gives them a ‘you can’t see I’m a lunatic’ shield, right?

janeen123.bsky.social•23 days ago

FAKE and a LIAR. Kash Patel is not qualified to be FBI Director.

enh3.bsky.social•23 days ago

Patel is not worthy to sit in any chair occupied by any FBI agent

elizabethdj.bsky.social•23 days ago

Honestly, we shouldn't be surprised that the evil orange clown emperor is filling his court with other evil clowns. What is shocking is that the Republicunts in the senate are falling over themselves to be first to get in line.

squirrels1963.bsky.social•23 days ago

He was so disingenuous.

bsarocket3.bsky.social•23 days ago

Yet no one called him a liar

justmyvoice.bsky.social•23 days ago

Just like Trump said he had nothing to do with Project 2025. Lying is like a feature to these people.

jordaneckerling.bsky.social•23 days ago

So what you're saying is, he's going to be confirmed by every Republican (and Susan Collins will express 'concern' and vote with them anyway)

josiahsdoodles.bsky.social•23 days ago

Literally just all theater.

seamlessjam.bsky.social•23 days ago

Under oath? Perjury Patel

Republican Trump, Republican Senators, Republican Congressional Representatives and Republican voters may have forgotten,but we who refuse to drink the Koolaid, our memories are intact.

comtechdiagnostics.bsky.social•23 days ago

Ruthless Rotten Republicans

loonycoonie.bsky.social•23 days ago

I am watching right now and either he has a shitty memory or is lying.

jon639.bsky.social•23 days ago

His family must be embarrassed...

albert1049.bsky.social•23 days ago

What can we do to stop these criminals other than a civil war?!

corabriget.bsky.social•23 days ago

He also kept saying "new respect" for the FBI when he seemed to mean "new fear of the FBI"

kportldy.bsky.social•23 days ago

DEI = Didn’t Earn It ( trump Cabinet picks)

jodikonobi.bsky.social•23 days ago

Kind of like our Supreme Court Trump nominations? Come on…they all know we know they are lying to our faces. It’s a performance. Then we come back and say, “ but you lied” Boohoo. We knew what we were getting. If we don’t like what we get…we vote em out next time and pick up the pieces we have left.

bseadeer.bsky.social•23 days ago

Grassley’s sucking up is embarrassing

nj2nc.bsky.social•23 days ago

Patel should not be there! He is grossly unqualified for the position first and foremost. What a fucking nightmare. Nazis will install him.

1uniquaphiliaism.bsky.social•23 days ago

neto-in-colo.bsky.social•23 days ago

Kash Patel is the epitome of the MAGA definition of a diversity hire. The message I am getting that DEI is OK as long as you bootlick.

mikemontreal.bsky.social•23 days ago

Somebody say “boots”???

bethannc.bsky.social•23 days ago

Right! A true DEI hire is qualified for the job!

ytownguy.bsky.social•23 days ago

And none of it matters at all, unfortunately

plantlvr.bsky.social•23 days ago

Patel would be a disaster as fbi director

crystaljbs.bsky.social•23 days ago

That is one angry dude trying hard to hide his obvious intention to cause a lot of pain.

willrockwell052.bsky.social•23 days ago

resistence47.bsky.social•23 days ago

Todays confirmation hearing, Trump's key nominees Kash Patel, for FBI Director, dodge responsibility but did not deny, sitting for 8 separate interviews with Stew Peters a far-right conspiracy theorist who has denies the Holocaust, says the earth is flat, and regularly speaks a neo nazi rallies

newtimelineplease.bsky.social•23 days ago

Part of the playbook of these dicktators: deny, deny, deny even if someone has them dead to rights

calleycat.bsky.social•21 days ago

Patel straight up lied. Here is his statement, out of his mouth.

calleycat.bsky.social•21 days ago

scottwhall.bsky.social•23 days ago

Kash says he can't remember anything he has done (based on every question I heard asked of him in his hearing). Isn't this a sign of mental incompetence if true? More likely, he is just be dodgy, but a dodgy FBI director is bad for America.

dapperdamesnysd.bsky.social•23 days ago

Are 5 republicans going to do the right thing and stand up for our country?

rons33.bsky.social•23 days ago

If it only happens in front of Congressional hearings, it Sometimers, aka Kavanaugh Kondition.

lippy33.bsky.social•23 days ago

They keep mentioning Deep State. Ask for proof & identification of Deep State. Who the f*#k is Deep State? Who & where are they!

historiken.bsky.social•23 days ago

not only does kash lie a lot but he always looks like he knows he's just been caught in a lie by someone with the authority to punish him

deebell.bsky.social•23 days ago

I must say I was stunned at him just turning away and ending the questioning by Sen Booker. Talk about a self-absorbed man-baby.

v-ron.bsky.social•23 days ago

Whatever the outcome... knowing Patel is an absolute threat as FBI dir.
... i wonder, is there any notion of who would be the next nom?

akajuhlz.bsky.social•23 days ago

Also - and less importantly, granted - Patel's optics were terrible.

murreybarnes.bsky.social•23 days ago

Of course Patel ducked, dodged and lied. It's the GOP playbook for any and all appointees, including those nominated to the Supreme Court. The process is just a brief departure from what they said and did before and what they will say and do after.

burongkaka3.bsky.social•23 days ago

Indian word can't be trusted ....that is how good they are in covering self,they go round and round till u gave up on u question and u even confused self. ..Indian are smart ppl ..why do u think the top CEO are Indian in usa ...

millicentrandy.bsky.social•23 days ago

His words were clear in the past. His attempts now to evade seems to show that he doesn’t care that people have eyes and ears and memory.

jendwd.bsky.social•23 days ago

It doesn't matter that he lied, ducked and dodged...the orange stain's minions will still confirm him because the orange stain prefers lying, incompetent "yes" men and women around to do his evil bidding.

freshpeppers.bsky.social•23 days ago

This isn’t 100% about revenge. It’s about having the right apparatus in place for 2028 in case a Democrat happens to win legitimately.

bobtre.bsky.social•23 days ago

Duck,Dodge and Lie is the standard for all Trump nominees. They learned from the best or the worst depending on your party affiliation.

theedirtyhippy.bsky.social•23 days ago

Democrats are scared for a good reason, Patel
is honest and knows what guys like Schiff did.

lindaleydic.bsky.social•23 days ago

We already have enough Liars in the White House. No to Patel !

jgmcn.bsky.social•23 days ago

And yet the GOP do not give a fuck.

georgiegetsit.bsky.social•23 days ago

I'm sick of them ALL.

simsink.bsky.social•23 days ago

Are these people under oath?

fungibev.bsky.social•23 days ago

How I wish there really were a god with lightening bolts.

bikeguy2024.bsky.social•22 days ago

kpopcornb23.bsky.social•22 days ago

Maybe he shouldn’t hold office since he has such a crappy memory

tigerfan519.bsky.social•23 days ago

Doesn't he know he wrote the children's book

bethannc.bsky.social•23 days ago

Trump and his band of the lowest of the low.

maryangelaperna.bsky.social•23 days ago

Anyone that studies the radical right (me) & follows far RW propagandists, like Bannon, knows that Patel has been a regular on Bannon’s & other far RW shows & has absolutely talked about revenge against “the liberal media” & those that have held trump accountable in any way
