It started with an incident that occurred on April 10 when the FBI chief panicked after he struggled to log into an internal computer system. He behaved frantically and began calling aides to announce that he had been fired by the White House.
Two people familiar with the matter described to The Atlantic that his behaviour was a “freak out.”
The reports also alleged that a SWAT team had to once ask for breaching gear after Patel was uncontactable behind a locked door.
That's not alcoholism, he's coked to the fucking gills...
It's really common these days with heavy drinkers, because it lets you drink longer. Eventually you crash and nothing can wake you up unless someone shoves a bump up your nose.
Then you're up and running for a couple more days doing crazy shit.
The staying awake for days is why meth heads are so crazy, but you can do the same on coke if you have a key to the evidence locker....
Even though this is getting reported by numerous publications, apparently Kash Patel and his external advisors are threatening a lawsuit against The Atlantic over this.
Well he made sure it's not functional by filling every single to position to people that are completely incapable of being more evolved than a sophomore frat boy.
All we hear are stories of them getting drunk as hell, totally fucking up their job, and now disappearing.
I would make a much better FBI director. Even the idiot magats that get interviewed by TYT would be.
The photo that gets constantly mocked of him is entirely accurate to his level of intelligence. There is no deeper awareness than "shlorp daddy's mushroom". None at all.
When he finally dies I hope it's absolutely humiliating and painful. And that photo better be at his almost empty funeral.
There should be minimum requirements for these positions instead of the president appointing whoever the fuck he wants. For example, the secretary of health should have expertise in health. The attorney general should be a lawyer.
That seems like a good tenet, but it goes against my presumption that I could do a better job than these idiots without that expertise. I could overcome that feeling to be pragmatic about enacting such a requirement, but then we would still end up with someone like Mehmet Oz or Phil McGraw as health secretary.
Why would he be so worried about being fired? He was a podcaster before, he can be a podcaster again but this time he'll (unfortionately) have the added clout of having been the FBI Director.
Patel has publicly proclaimed that the FBI needs to demonstrate that it is “fierce,” and officials I spoke with said that he is fixated on that image in private as well. He recently expressed frustration with the look of FBI merchandise, complaining that it isn’t intimidating enough.

That's not MIA, that's AWOL.
4am@lemmy.zip · 40 pts · 123d
Yeah for him to be MIA he’d have had to have actually been in the process of doing something
Typhoon@lemmy.ca · 23 pts · 123d
Yeah no one misses him.

Yeah im disappointed. I thought he was presumed dead.

Shits gonna keep getting crazier too.

Yep. I've known a bunch of coke heads. I used to be a coke head. Patel is obviously a coke head.

It also may be him panicked about things he’s done and hasn’t had a chance to cover up. If he can’t access, he can’t erase his “browser history.”

I'm looking forward to the Atlantic proving, in a court of law, that Kash Patel is a drunken fraud.

He’s welcome to show up in court, in person, to prove the article to be in incorrect

In a functioning democracy a reporter would've asked Trump by now why he keeps hiring absolute fuck ups.

So, Josh Johnson is right. Patel is the next one fired.
It’s crazy how much more spot on some of our comedians are than the official journalists.
SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world · 23 pts · 123d
What we need is more comedians in office.

Probably but the don't need to disclose anything. Even if fired, he has credibility as the former Director.
Waraugh@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 1 pts · 123d
I know what you are getting at but it certainly generated some feeling reading “he has credibility…”
Burninator05@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 122d
I hurt to write too but it doesn't make it untrue to as least the people who would willingly listen to his podcast.

This certainly explains how Caesar and company established the Planet of the Apes. If Patel is the measure of a man, a monkey stands tall.
quick_snail@feddit.nl · 18 pts · 122d
Patel was selected for this purpose.
Trump wants the DOJ so he can go after his enemies. He wants to grind the FBI to a halt because they are his perceived enemies.
If Kash is getting drunk and sewing chaos, he's doing the job he was hired to do.
