The fucking audacity of Patel to say this. It's a further slap to the face of the Capitol Police officers attacked by MAGA who stormed it and were pardoned by Trump. Fuck Kash Patel and the people who supported him.
Patel on J6 arrest: "When you attack American citizens, when you attack our institutions of legislation, when you attack our nation's Capitol, you attack the very being of our way of life."

6. Meanwhile, free the major drug kingpins that share your far right ideology.
Trump/Hegseth instruction manual:
1. Invent a war where none exists.
2. Kill people by blowing up boats that aren’t attacking you.
3. Violate your own rules of war.
4. Call in the lawyers to explain why the clear violations are not really violations.
5. Blame it on “the fog of war.”

The CEOs of both Ford and Stellantis, who are there to celebrate the rollback of vehicle emissions standards (which will drive climate change), are standing right behind Trump as he makes these racist comments.
Trump, continued: "What the Somalian people have done to Minnesota is not even believable. It’s not even believable. And a lot of it starts with the governor. A lot of it starts with Barack HUSSEIN Obama, because that’s when people started coming in... They want to kiss our country good night."

That’s not “fog of war.” That’s one small sunk boat overflown by close surveillance, with survivors visibly hanging on to wreckage.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said “a couple of hours” passed before he was made aware that a military strike he authorized required an additional attack to kill two survivors, further distancing himself from an incident now facing congressional inquiry.
Hegseth, citing ‘fog of war,’ says he learned of survivors hours after strike
The defense secretary’s remarks were the most extensive public accounting yet of his involvement in the military’s lethal attack on alleged drug smugglers on Sept. 2.

Trump and Republicans promised to lower costs on day one—and as we can see, that was a lie. Prices shot up, and health care will spike again because they refuse to extend the ACA credits.
Now they claim “affordability” is a con job. Since when is feeding your family or seeing a doctor a scam?
