Lol. If he's worried about 'unflattering headlines' he should be looking at firing more than just that dude.

They'll give the job to an AI bot account based in Nigeria

Honestly Crowder is probably an actual improvement on that one, don't get me wrong he's an odious piss bag but I don't think he is actively that stupid and may actually be aware of how incompetent he is which would allow the FBI to do its job.

He should resign instead of giving the media even more reason for unflattering headlines.

Every photo I see of this man he looks bewildered. Just utterly bamboozled, perplexed, flummoxed, and discombobulated.
Maybe his second career can be as a comedic actor

Kash Patel looks like he’s constantly, just now, finding out that he’s gotten way too high and accidentally joined up with the Nazis and just remembered he’s a dark skinned minority named Kash Patel.

I was picturing something like Kal Penn in Harold & Kumar Go To White (Nationalist) Castle...

Oh that's gonna end with Patel leaking the unredacted Epstein-Trump files.
Hideakikarate@sh.itjust.works · 12 pts · 281d
This is the same guy that wrote 3 books about how he and Trump were gonna save the States. I'm almost sure that Kash is just happy that Trump knows his name.

As if these people had the backbone required for that.

and while i'm dreaming i'd like a pony
Realspecialguy@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 280d
Thats gay, probably.
HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 279d
i guess it depends whether the pony heard ralph macchio's dying words that one time
Auli@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 280d
As if anyone has the backbone for that. People seem very weak and comfortable and unwilling to do anything. I've always wondered how X could have happened when looking at history. Now I know apathy.
MagicShel@lemmy.zip · 2 pts · 280d
Hey any one of us could step up and make the decision to sacrifice everything for a shot at the king in some way. I don't see anyone joining the FBI just to leak this info and spring years in prison, or advocating even more extreme actions. Anyone casting stones risks adding hypocrisy to apathy.

No but people in the military could start refusing orders. People in power could be actually held accountable. The maximum evil could be conservative democrats but instead morons worship Trump as the country rapidly decends further(it’s already there) into fascism.
The easiest one, especially in a recession, is that people could stop buying so much garbage from corporations. Like, do people really need to drink so much fucking bottled water from Nestle? Do they need all this crap from Amazon? Can they not wait a couple days to get something with slower shipping? Do they need to pay for Youtube Premium after the company gave tens of millions worth of aid to Israel’s propaganda machine(I cancelled mine immediately)? I straight up gave up buying most cookies and started making my own more often simply because the ones from Canada that I liked started coming plastic packages for some fucking reason.
I’m not demanding anyone assassinate Trump but for crying out loud could ya put in the smallest amount of effort to deal with being slightly inconvenienced because you can’t get prime shipping or slam 2L bottles of cola? And if the US can’t handle those basic things then they clearly don’t want things to actually be better, or at least they aren’t willing to be even a small part of the solution. Not everyone needs to be an action hero but fucking do something.
Also, because some smart-ass will bring it up, I’m not talking about stuff that unfortunately lacks reliable alternatives. It’s hard to get away from smartphone companies, Linux is easier every day but still has a strong reputation for being tricky, and I tried to get non-US mandolin strings but I really found the other options to lack the necessary basic level of quality(and at least their company seems to be run decently).

Part of me hopes it backfires, and Kash does something crazy like releases all the files.
Could he do that?
MrVilliam@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 281d
According to Kash, the files are controlled by the director of the FBI. So yeah, I'm thinking he can and should do that now while he's still director of the FBI. But I'm betting he won't because he's too much of a yesman lackey coward pissboy. Prove me wrong, Kash.

Nah, he's totally fine. We don't want yet another crazy....not Greene, please not Greene!
rigatti@lemmy.world · 10 pts · 282d
There's no way it would be Greene. They've been at each other's throat lately.

Just an act. Make it seem she is different. Then when people turn on Trump oh look she has been against him. Which is more then the left has been doing.
Tolookah@discuss.tchncs.de · 9 pts · 282d
Seeing that he fully trusts the news, can they start reporting that he's thinking of getting rid of any one and maybe it'll happen?

is this like how Hegseth has been about to be fired since March?

Hell yeah, first he’s cutting ties with the HJ, now he’s cutting Kash Patel, when Trump shoots himself in the foot the country prospers

If Trump shoots himself it should not be in the foot.

Hitler is a role model of his.

Say what you want about Hitler, but he's the guy who shot Hitler. Credit where credit is due.

He did 1v1 Hitler, but it ended in a draw.
