May he stand next to many openable windows

Windows are actually not the most dangerous part. Many a people ended up falling - believe it or not - DIRECTLY on Polonium bullets. Go figure!

This is major fucking news. What business could he possibly have there? Maybe they told him the bourbon is amazing.

This is very insensitive. He's attending his handler's wedding. This should be a thing of joy and you people just want to make it about conspiracies.

Imagine getting assigned Kash Patel at the handler academy. Everyone else gets these super cool ones and you get that.

Then he keeps showing up in your personal life, but everyone tells you to be nice because he's like the idiot runt, but all your handler buddies still give you shit at weekend BBQs.

Care to name some of the "super cool" ones? As far as I can tell the targets are all fucking idiots.

my guess is he's delivering intel to assist with russian hacking of the midterm elections

Russia = Vodka

What business could he possibly have there?

Firmware update and hardware maintenance.

CaliforniaSober@lemmy.ca · 0 pts · 34d

I could see him falling for Russian “bourbon” after being lulled into a Russian “club” over Russian “concerns”… hence a “trip”.

Guess it’s his turn to suck the tit

Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world · 22 pts · 35d (1 reply)

Everyone at the FBI security department just shat their collective pants.

Imagine trying to secure the devices of someone so hell bent on doing whatever he feels like and vehemently resistant to correction.

They’re gonna make folks dump their phones before the plane home just like they did in China.

not 'everyone'. i'm sure he's getting all the assistance a drunk idiot needs to deliver whatever the fuck he's taking there.

One way?

How to spot a traitor.

OldQWERTYbastard@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 8 pts · 35d

His ass looks like a goddamn gulag prisoner. Maybe he'll get to be one.

stumu415@lemmy.zip · 5 pts · 35d (1 reply)

Even better. In Russia he will be hosted by the FSB, Russia's security agency. What can possibly go wrong?

floofloof@lemmy.ca · 0 pts · 34d

And it's right before the midterm elections Trump is determined to rig and steal. So Kash is probably going over there to advise the FSB and GRU to play fair and not interfere.

jaykrown@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 34d

Could they make it any more obvious? That's hilarious, because by October the russian economy will be in absolute shit.

mrmisses@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 35d (1 reply)

Again? Wasn't he just there for the 4th of July? /Jk(?)

pelespirit@sh.itjust.works · 10 pts · 35d

Didn't Lindsey Graham go to Russia for the 4th last year? Politico is kind of saying that Lindsay died not soon after a bill was agreed upon to put sanctions on Russia. I guess put it on the pile.

Edit: I thought Lindsey was part of that group, but it was 7 other republican senators and a republican house member in 2018 :

  • Sen. Richard Shelby (Alabama)
  • Sen. Ron Johnson (Wisconsin)
  • Sen. John Thune (South Dakota)
  • Sen. John Kennedy (Louisiana)
  • Sen. Jerry Moran (Kansas)
  • Sen. John Hoeven (North Dakota)
  • Sen. Steve Daines (Montana)
  • Rep. Kay Granger (Texas)

Nah, they just lost Moscow mitch. They need another cheap lifetime asset.

He is going to autograph the Russian soldiers uniforms.

Reddfugee42@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 35d

Russia's gonna have the chance to do the funniest thing

lemmyng@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 35d

Krashout, might I recommend finding the longest flight of stairs and just stand next to it, really take in the view.

FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world · 0 pts · 34d

Please Finland, Greenland, Poland, Ukraine…fucking somebody shoot down the jet and announce the empire is rotten and needs to be burned down

finallymadeanaccount@lemmy.world · 0 pts · 34d

Lindsey Graham went to Russia. Soon after he returned to the US, his, uh, career took a nosedive. Perhaps Patel will find himself with a new career path, too?
