I thought this guy was Dan Bilzerian, unfortunately not as funny now

hereticalramza.bsky.social•63 days ago

I know he is a real person because I've heard his stupid show but his name just sounds made up

ianboudreau.com•63 days ago

You can't really convince me that two wild eyed cavemen are going to make the agency that tried to convince Martin Luther King Jr. to kill himself appreciably worse

cdncarrot.bsky.social•63 days ago

Hopefully he heads the secret service so a bullet does indeed acquire the appropriate coordinates.

ianboudreau.com•63 days ago

I also don't think either Kash Patel or Dan Bongino, or both of them together, has the kind of organizational skills you'd need to successfully run a secret police

starshine.bsky.social•63 days ago

J6 pardons and by extension alienating said secret police not the ideal playing field for them either

stroppygirl.bsky.social•63 days ago

Fred Colon and Nobby Nobbs.

ianboudreau.com•63 days ago

In defense of Fred and Nobby, they both knew they were dummies and tried very hard to avoid any kind of responsibility whatsoever

stroppygirl.bsky.social•63 days ago

And you have to respect them for that.

Hard to run a secret anything while producing a podcast and being addicted to Twitter

tallsprucetree.bsky.social•63 days ago

Ooh this brings to mind my favorite quote about DHS (from a Slate article about why it should be broken up):

braak.bsky.social•63 days ago

I think that there's a pretty big cohort of FBI guys -- even real shithead asshole FBI guys -- that are not gonna take orders from Dan fuckinf Boingo

ianboudreau.com•63 days ago

Both of them are absolute suckers for the stupidest conspiracy theories you've ever heard. They have only a tenuous grasp of reality. The FBI is not fit for whatever purposes they have in mind for it.

jeangiardina.bsky.social•63 days ago

You could catch them both by daring them to lick a flag pole in freezing weather.

nwayne66.bsky.social•63 days ago

You absolutely could.

timothyburke.bsky.social•63 days ago

I think maybe you have the wrong idea about secret police etc. They're not known for their laser-like and efficient response to actual threats to the state. Getting it wrong and believing in stupid shit is 100% in the job description--it's part of terrorizing ordinary people.

ianboudreau.com•63 days ago

Fine but I do think a baseline level of organization management skills are important and these guys definitely do not have those

dragom.bsky.social•63 days ago

They're going to have their skeleton crew investigate people from weird right-wing grievances from, like, ten years ago that even the *weird* right-wing freaks have forgotten. They're finally gonna get Pat Cipollone. They're gonna get Cassidy Hutchinson. It's gonna be fucking bananas

shawnconnery.bsky.social•63 days ago

They will command so much respect, such deep respect... Just like RFK will be loved by the scientists at NIH

riotactual.bsky.social•63 days ago

Can you imagine, dedicating your career to the FBI. And then Dan Vagino shows up to run the show. With Kashyap Patel??? What a joke.

dashwallkick.bsky.social•63 days ago

Imagine people taking orders from these wide-eyed morons.

terich.bsky.social•63 days ago

They’re gonna open an X Files division but for like pizzagate and Q Anon

adamjschmidt.bsky.social•63 days ago

Maybe they can recruit Posobiec. 🤔

neonchinchilla.bsky.social•63 days ago

I want the hat trick. Trump needs to appoint Alex Jones to run something.

curtnaus.bsky.social•63 days ago

But what if their purpose is forcing the FBI to buy lots of their merch and ride that train straight to Moneytown?

Hmmm?

darkwebmallcop.bsky.social•63 days ago

Good. Defang the FBI while Trump is President

metanautics.bsky.social•63 days ago

The level of incompetence in any given post is correlated to how much Trump needs a yes-man who won't question any order. I find this development somewhat disturbing.

tubbles.bsky.social•63 days ago

If he gets a few more of these conspiracy dorks in his cabinet they're going to waste so much of Trump's time filling his head with idiotic bullshit that will quickly outweigh the cold, calculated, cruel logic of the Heritage Foundation. He's going to start spouting off about aliens in Area 51 again

metanautics.bsky.social•63 days ago

Hope you're right.

tubbles.bsky.social•63 days ago

The FBI sucks as an organization, but I can't imagine the people who take their job seriously are happy about having those two losers as their bosses.

toddadam.bsky.social•63 days ago

the1truesid.bsky.social•63 days ago

Hey now RFK Jr managed to quit junk (allegedly)

catladybel.bsky.social•63 days ago

These next few years are going to make the Robert Hanssen situation look like a badge of honor for the FBI.

tauriq.bsky.social•63 days ago

One of the dwindling hopes I have is that the vast number of incompetent mouth-breathing tar-brained fools who now occupy all the US leadership roles are so dimwitted and untalented, everything they try collapses & given their ego, will maintain a wall of refusal against any advice or assistance.

ianboudreau.com•63 days ago

Plopping these loud, obvious fools into these director positions is a guaranteed way to make everyone in the institution who has spent a lot of time getting good at their jobs hate you and them, this just weakens the regime I think

tauriq.bsky.social•63 days ago

The reason it's "dwindling" for me is that basically any book on fascists talk about how inherently stupid fascists are, but they are able utilise pre-established systems made by smarter people even if it's badly. But anyway, fascists ARE inherently self-destructive.

icasttrish.bsky.social•63 days ago

it's worth noting that said systems are currently getting annihilated by the world's richest deadbeats. there's like three or four factions and they're all kneecapping each other

quadcitypat.bsky.social•63 days ago

My local FBI guys are rolling their eyes, nothing is going to change on the local level

gaynixon.bsky.social•58 days ago

how do i get fbi guys

darkwebmallcop.bsky.social•63 days ago

The FBI is now officially a clown show

polyparadigm.bsky.social•63 days ago

I also don't think either Kash Patel or Dan Bongino, or both of them together, has the kind of organizational skills you'd need to successfully run a secret Santa

josephusbrown.bsky.social•63 days ago

I honestly think they’ll be bad enough at this that they make it functionally better

mayamedia.bsky.social•63 days ago

The only good news is that MAGA has demonstrated once again that they’re all accelerationists, but don’t know it.

But that’s only good news for the long term. The short term should be cause for deepest concern from everyone.

mayamedia.bsky.social•63 days ago

Idiots are still capable of wielding clubs. At the people in the most vulnerable communities. I’m housing insecure & not even among those most vulnerable.

I’m not laughing.

incompetusrex.bsky.social•63 days ago

You’re probably right.

Dan is going to be flummoxed when the bureau can’t get warrants for the houses of people that made fun of him over the years.

thatoldbear.bsky.social•63 days ago

so now two of the most cockeyed and paranoid losers of the Magasphere are in charge of not investigating anything with a staff Elon randomly fires like a whackamole?

justindstanley.com•63 days ago

I’m just waiting for Posobiec to get something

l422y.com•63 days ago

it's really not, that guy is psychotic and dangerous

oldpappythomas.bsky.social•63 days ago

There's a story that naval intelligence spent years looking for "Dorothy" when gay people used "friend of Dorothy" as a codeword so this will be the same for "Auntie Fa"
