Kash Patel has never worked at the FBI and simply does not have the experience and gravitas to lead the preeminent federal agency in America whose 30,000+ employees serve to keeps us safe from terrorists and child predators.

In other words, protect Americans from the Trump administration.

It seems to be at least in part based on donations

Designed simply to repay favors, sycophants, hurt perceived internal enemies and destabilize the US. All of this picks are one or more of these.

In dealing with horrible appointments abroad, other countries need to expel any appointee who has a criminal record or is charged with crime. They can also deny entry to the same.

I think it's been made clear gravitas is anathema to MAGA.

bob747.bsky.social•84 days ago

Yes no experience in running organizations against political opponents- you all don’t get it, gonna be a long 4,8,16….yrs for you

camwellcam.bsky.social•85 days ago

It’s not so much that a felon is an ambassador. It’s the crime that just makes me shake my head (not the tax evasion, that’s another story). I mean, who thinks like that?

tsudhonimh.bsky.social•84 days ago

"an ex-con was just made our ambassador to France" but we can hope that France refuses his credentials.

overnightsensation.bsky.social•85 days ago

He's like Ned in the First Reader.

chaz-seattle.bsky.social•84 days ago

What’s interesting is that a foreign country could refuse to accept the credentials of an ambassador. I think they should aggressively deny credentials to anyone that’s clearly has a criminal background. How embarrassing to Trump if his ambassadors are sent packing by country after country.

areader55.bsky.social•85 days ago

Incorrect. Experience and gravitas are *banned* in the Trump administration. He wants to pull this thing into the ground. As long as he and his billionaire friends get richer, that's all he cares about at this point.

daerickgross.com•85 days ago

what do you feel the odds are that any of these knuckleheads will be confirmed? i'm hoping there is enough backbone to block at least some of them.

please tell me that this being Trump's last term will give the Republicans that dislike him more freedom to move.

please. lie to me.

kimmycammy.bsky.social•85 days ago

Republicans that push back are threatened by Trump and his minions. They are afraid to resist...Russian vibes

daerickgross.com•84 days ago

yeah, i know... i just wanted that fleeting glimmer of hope for just one moment that there'd be some surprise pushback. how amazing would it be to see all the red-flag nominees get tanked in the Senate?

calleycat.bsky.social•85 days ago

And a convicted felon is the president-elect.

aplewe.bsky.social•85 days ago

While that is true, everyone should act like it is and should be and everyone ought to make a fuss about it. Because it matters, and whether or not it's "required" by them it should be required by US.

ithreebit.bsky.social•85 days ago

Much as I agree, kind of given up trying to warn people. Feel like peeps need to see the worst outcome to understand their mistakes at this point.

gaielizabeth.bsky.social•85 days ago

Who will be ours in Aus?

deaconblues24.bsky.social•85 days ago

And poor Andrew still thinks this is about the Bureau serving Americans when in fact it’s now about serving one man.

silencedoogoode.bsky.social•85 days ago

Trump Administration Qualifications:

1. Kiss Trump's bum
2. Have a felony
3. Have connections with Russia

I thought the simple fact that some of these politicians have children might save us but they must be planning to hunker down in their bunkers.

Do you mean like Trump and Geatz?

Just write checks
That’s all you need

We need a new grading system from 'this is not normal' to 'this is just f***ing batsh*t crazy'.

grumpyfinfan.bsky.social•85 days ago

The only prerequisite is being an immoral self serving piece of shit who is willing to spray tan the backside of the scrotum of the President. Hopefully the adults in the room uphold their oath to the Constitution..and I believe there will be a backlash once the nonsense starts.

He has the ability to destroy it though...
