I knew Patel would be tapped for something, but the only reason for his appointment to the FBI is to allow T💩p and allies to run roughshod over the rule of law and persecute those who oppose the Gilded Turd™️.
Patel probably won’t be confirmed by the Senate, but Trump will fire Chris Wray on January 20 and appoint Patel as Interim FBI Director. This allows Patel to serve for up to 200 days without confirmation. Enough time for him to do a fuckload of damage.
Instead of being FBI Director, it's more like Head Revenge Seeker. Pathetic piss ant Patel like the rest of these shitful imbeciles of the Cabinet nominees have more skeletons in their closets than all of the medical schools put together. If newly elected Senate leader John Thune keeps his word about wanting to keep the three branches of government independent, most of these unfit and unqualified morons will be shown the door before they can fuck everything up to dear leader's satisfaction.
Sad that we’re hoping John Thune to “save the day” only to have interim appointments. Sadder that the Sr. Kushner will then target Thune and others that collectively share 1/2 pea sized ball between them, if that, to block appointments and other malfeasance and traitorism in the name of the orange-faced clown.
I also use GoldenToadstool™️ (infrequent) and AuricOrifice™️ (rare). Feel free to use these terms liberally in your online-postings and in personal conversations.
Absolutely. trump wants to be sure he, himself, is never investigated for anything ever again. Because once those 7000 experienced FBI employees leave, which they will, they will never go back. All we can hope for is the inefficiency that will most assuredly happen if K$H is confirmed.
I think we should invest in stiff knee braces for the Senate, ones that do not allow them to bend. Ideally they would be remote controlled from the Intelligence community "Deep State."
Artificial legs will do the job. No knee bending allowed. I think someone should get a Bot account to message Senate Republicans that if they cater to Trump and he destroys the nation, then they will be powerless as Putin takes over the US. Do we want to have our Intelligence community filled with Russian spies. They should be told secret stolen documents from the Trump camp say that they will be replacing US spies with Russian ones, who will be spying on the members of the Senate for Kompromat, and then blackmailing them. Oh, I forgot, that has probably already happened.
she may very well be it. The repulsive Susan Collins always ends up backing trump after stating some ambiguity that she never acts on. As many have said, the chaos these completely irresponsible appointments will cause is the intent: they can say that the federal government is useless and defund all the important work it has ever done.
Northern Maine has all the yahoos, and misanthropes that were born there, and never left. it is scary, except for the good people (who are vastly outnumbered.) Stephen King being a notable exception, who writes about them.
A lot of stuff was known about Hoover and kind of an open secret, including his sexual orientation, but Hoover was even better at keeping files on everyone else's shit, so that if anyone came after him, he could promise to spill what he knew. People backed off.
I can't either -- I hear his voice and it's reflex now to immediately change the station/close the browser window/turn off the fucking TV. Oh, and as I'm diving for the remote or the keyboard, I also say something like, "FUCKING HELL, it's that shitweasel asshole again!" but usually with a lot more um, descriptive imagery.
We’ll need to add stiff back braces for the Senate as well. If these guys don’t realize Patel and Crazy Co will cut their own throats if given a scintilla of a chance, then they are farther down the rathole than Patel. This turd burd will make J Edgar look like a beginner.
Hoping that from the lofty heights of standing they can see more clearly how they will be cutting off their noses to spite their faces. Help Destroy US, no job for them.
When blowing our whole damn governmental system up was always the plan, using the least qualified people to fill positions that make government work is the best way to start! People are clearly clueless to how things work, or how easily they’re destroyed!!
I am hoping for this from the DOD as well, understanding that if they were to pull such a move, advertising it would be in no one's interest except for the incoming administration.
At this point, I’m expecting to wake up in my bed, surrounded by familiar faces with worried looks. They’ll be telling me I was knocked out from a bump on the head during a tornado, and that everything I’ve experienced during the past the past 25 days was only a crazy dream with an evil cast of characters who all lacked brains, hearts and courage.
I expect to wake up with Donnie’s henchmen ready to haul my old tired ass off to Gitmo because I hate that motherfucker and I don’t mind saying so every chance I get! I’m hanging my black flag out on Jan 20 and keeping it up for 4 years - so I won’t be hard to find.
You’ll probably be safe on January 20th. He’ll be busy on Day 1, deporting migrants, canceling Obamacare, locking up Nancy Pelosi, imposing tariffs and eliminating the EPA. He probably won’t get around to repealing the First Amendment until the following week.
Perfection as always. Imagine being so bad that Chris Christie and Bill Barr are the good guys in your story. BWAH HA HA HA HA HA I haven't watched the news since the election, and haven't slept well either--hope it's not related. I'm still in denial. Just going to get through the holidays in the best spirit I can. Hope you all enjoyed Thanksgiving! Thanks again, Jeff.
There is no one on the planet like Jeff Tiedrich. I just don't want him to work too hard and poop out on us. If Jeff ever became president and he appointed me Secretary of Something 'r Other, I'd spend the first day resigning.
"on Saturday, most Americans were goofing off, enjoying the third day of a long holiday weekend — but not Little Donny Fuckface. the litter of feral raccoons that scurry about inside his vacant pumpkin head were hard at work filling out the remaining slots in his Confederacy of Sewer Clowns."
Jeff, you fucking crack me up. Some days the only time I laugh is when I read your posts. Thank you, sir.
Academic questions: which comes first….the Idiocracy or the kakistocracy? Does Kakistocracy create the Idiocracy or is it vice versa? Or do we have to bring our genetic experts in on the question?
Brilliant. Allow me to respectfully request that the Institute consider creating a lesson series taught by professor Tiedrich on the subject of “How Great is Your Government Working Today?” A series of 10 lectures, say, with a subscription price of $49. And if we have any rainmakers among us, we could distribute the series freely to all public school libraries whose librarians could surreptitiously make thumb drive copies for distribution to the students after the school board burns the series. We need to start thinking out of the box here.
That appears to settle the question. The Idiocracy came first. Thank you for that clarification. Although I think we should stick with mandatory cranial CAT scans on all Trump appointments (and members of Congress while we’re at it). I dare say that senator Tuberville‘s results would reveal some disturbing abnormalities.
Or perhaps R for resistance is more appropriate. The Underground will be in plain sight. Because the idiots are incapable of rational observation. Flood the zone with sanity.
The only thing I can say is Kushner did legal bribery, aka a “donation.” Those idiots ensnared in the Rick Singer admission bribery scheme broke the law.
There's always affirmative action for the very wealthy. It's just the middling wealthy, whose bribes go to mid-level people like coaches (of non-revenue sports) and admission officers who get in trouble. Of course, one of the best things that could come out of this era is an understanding that the Ivies aren't all that.
To me, an idiocracy connotes an accidental dysfunction due to stupidity and ineptitude. A kakistocracy is much worse because it is willfully and intentionally an evil regime. We are undoubtedly experiencing a trump kakistocracy.
The Senate needs to have secret ballots for confirmation to provide cover for Republicans who want to do the right and legal thing, i.e., not confirm clowns, grifters and liars. Or do all 3 of those descriptors describe every cabinet pick?
Another member of the Florida mafia-Confederacy has been appointed director of DEA. Some local Florida sheriff.. yeah, let’s fuck with the libs even more.. I can hear the banjos. OYOYOY
I think the entire administration can be called the Mafia-Confederacy. That's perfect. Putin rans the family, King Shitpants is the underboss, Bondi is their new consigliere, we know who are the soldiers and associates. Criminals, grifters and rapists. Yay!! The American dream.
Hey Doc.. Someone has to be the canary in the mine.. I merely point out the illogical, the mundane, the corruption, the criminality and the constant lying.. These folks are just so simple and yes, they are educated with college degrees. I’m that guy who authored the book in the old Twlight Zone episode.. “To Serve Man”.😉
I have only one quibble with this post. If there actually WERE feral raccoons running around in the Donvict's head, they'd make much better choices than he's making, 'cause they're 1000% smarter than he is.
We've seen this Kabuki theater. Trump is paying back his cronies with appointments. Hey, not his fault if they don't get confirmed. Promise made, promise kept. Now on to other confirmable, equally-if-not-more-awful cronies. The federal government is going to be a massive grift full of incompetence, rage and revenge. My back is turned on the shit show. I'm concentrating on fortifying the rights that my state confers. If I go for four years without knowing who, say, the Commerce Secretary is, that'll be okay.
All of these jokers have the "typical background" of the residents of Alkatraz. If you think criminals had control of our Government from 2016 to 2020, it is being turned up to 11,000 for 2025 forward.
Patel is from India. People in India had to burn or bury their loved ones in their back yards because of Covid. Because they didn't have the vaccine. This stopped when they got the vaccine. How did he get to reversing the vaccine would make people healthy?
Kushner is the same kind of sleasebag as his son. Trump only pardoned criminals like himself. He pissed on the suckers that attacked the Capitol on January 6, 2021.
I didn't vote for Putin. I didn't vote for President Musk. I never voted for Trump.
There are Patels in this area in the medical field. Some are excellent in my their field. Many people here were not as affected by Covid as those on the coasts. There are ones who have not been vaccinated at all.
Kash Patel?!? Seriously? Was Eichmann busy? Proposed alternate headline: "Kash-n-Carry," "In God we trust, all others PAY KASH."
You didn’t see this coming? Seriously?
I knew Patel would be tapped for something, but the only reason for his appointment to the FBI is to allow T💩p and allies to run roughshod over the rule of law and persecute those who oppose the Gilded Turd™️.
If confirmed he would make J. Edgar Hoover look like Mary Poppins.
Perhaps Hoover would have liked to look like Mary Poppins.
He did wear his mother's clothes.
I know.
What! Tell more… that could be the thing the thing that pops out of the swamp to eat his own.
And I bet he looked smashing in them!
😂😂
ROFL
Brilliant

I was thinking the same thing.
Patel probably won’t be confirmed by the Senate, but Trump will fire Chris Wray on January 20 and appoint Patel as Interim FBI Director. This allows Patel to serve for up to 200 days without confirmation. Enough time for him to do a fuckload of damage.
There will be either a mass exodus or tremendous protest at the FBI.
I am HOPING they do something more subtle and nefarious.
Linda Weide, I like the way you think.
Really!!
That's the point. Perhaps there shouldn't be a mass exodus and only a tremendous protest.
A mass exodus is a tremendous protest.
Trump had more "acting" department heads than any previous president. This way, he doesn't have to subject his appointments to vetting.
Instead of being FBI Director, it's more like Head Revenge Seeker. Pathetic piss ant Patel like the rest of these shitful imbeciles of the Cabinet nominees have more skeletons in their closets than all of the medical schools put together. If newly elected Senate leader John Thune keeps his word about wanting to keep the three branches of government independent, most of these unfit and unqualified morons will be shown the door before they can fuck everything up to dear leader's satisfaction.
Re: Kushner Sr. Per Google, ambassadors must be confirmed by the Senate. Hope the ugly truths come out.
You are still under the assumption that Politics as usual is working.
Well, France could just reject him as an undesirable.

I am so sick of “I am concerned” Collins. How the fuck does she keep getting re-elected?
that is a great question- her voice is totally annoying, and what she says is usually even worse.
Northern Maine has all the yahoos, and misanthropes that were born there, and never left. it is scary, except for the good people (who are vastly outnumbered.) Stephen King being a notable exception, who writes about them.
Susan Collins?
I had a longtime friend, now dead, who worked at the FBI in the late 40s and she could primly recite all kinds of shit on Hoover.
Hoover was a conniving piece of shit. He was his own deep state
A lot of stuff was known about Hoover and kind of an open secret, including his sexual orientation, but Hoover was even better at keeping files on everyone else's shit, so that if anyone came after him, he could promise to spill what he knew. People backed off.
I'll bet! Is she one of the people who leaked his proclivity for wearing women's clothing?
Watching English Football because I could not stomach listening to Spineless Self-Serving Shitweasel Cancun Cruz talk about these nnominations.

Jeff you’re back in top form with “that’s whys don’t get any more fuck youier than Kash”
If only Linda!!
Knee braces instead of the same old knee pads.
Yes, like chastity belts for the knees.
It can be done standing up too
Hoping that from the lofty heights of standing they can see more clearly how they will be cutting off their noses to spite their faces. Help Destroy US, no job for them.
When blowing our whole damn governmental system up was always the plan, using the least qualified people to fill positions that make government work is the best way to start! People are clearly clueless to how things work, or how easily they’re destroyed!!
In this case I hope the employees take over, and use their Spycraft to uphold the Constitution. We shall see.
I am hoping for the same thing. We need a real Deep State to pull some Mission Impossible level shit.
I am hoping for this from the DOD as well, understanding that if they were to pull such a move, advertising it would be in no one's interest except for the incoming administration.
Like feeding Patel useless information.
MAGA men can't wait to be somebody's bitch. I should get into the MAGA knee pad business.
You'd be richer than maga madman, Elon Musk.
🤣🤣🤣
Yeah, Eichmann is a tad busy dodging all those fires.
And spit roasting Scalia.
🥴😂😂😂✌🏻💙
I can see a blood bath between Mike Lindell and k$h and Leona mutt. Money grabby kackists. That is the terror from within.

The Idiocracy arrived 23 years ago. You're welcome. ;-)
That appears to settle the question. The Idiocracy came first. Thank you for that clarification. Although I think we should stick with mandatory cranial CAT scans on all Trump appointments (and members of Congress while we’re at it). I dare say that senator Tuberville‘s results would reveal some disturbing abnormalities.
The machines will need to be recalibrated to measure vacuum.
And the Trump appointment machine has reached ludicrous speed...or just ludicrous.
I would suggest that the idiocracy was ushered in by the election of Ronnie Raygun in 1980, so 44 years ago.
It's hard to beat Shrub for idiocracy, but if anyone could do it, Ronnie would be the guy!
I give credit to Nixon for starting this shit. His attempt to put himself above the law worked, even after SCOTUS said not so fast.
V
Or perhaps R for resistance is more appropriate. The Underground will be in plain sight. Because the idiots are incapable of rational observation. Flood the zone with sanity.
It makes no difference at all to Dotard’s supporters
I had similar thoughts on Trumps first go round William, kakistocracy is certainly fueled by the peerless in vacuous idiocy, was my conclusion!
Might be a great question for those good folks at Crispr.
It's not just a kakistocracy. It's a kleptokakistocracy.
Winner.
Is that the first and only word with 3 k’s?? By Jove. Excellent.
How appropriate: KKK
oops, I shouldn't make comments before reading all the way through.....my thought exactly!
I was going to ask if it could get any worse, but I already know the answer.
“Fasten your seatbelts. It’s going to be a bumpy night.” https://youtu.be/yKHUGvde7KU
The universe seems to take that as a challenge.
Let us not forget how Charles Kushner bought his mediocre son admission to Harvard.
https://www.propublica.org/article/the-story-behind-jared-kushners-curious-acceptance-into-harvard
So much criming to keep up with.
The only thing I can say is Kushner did legal bribery, aka a “donation.” Those idiots ensnared in the Rick Singer admission bribery scheme broke the law.
There's always affirmative action for the very wealthy. It's just the middling wealthy, whose bribes go to mid-level people like coaches (of non-revenue sports) and admission officers who get in trouble. Of course, one of the best things that could come out of this era is an understanding that the Ivies aren't all that.
Even with their enormous endowment, Harvard couldn’t pass up a sizable donation (I heard it was $2.5 million) to admit a marginal applicant
To me, an idiocracy connotes an accidental dysfunction due to stupidity and ineptitude. A kakistocracy is much worse because it is willfully and intentionally an evil regime. We are undoubtedly experiencing a trump kakistocracy.
Nothing of significance from “draining the swamp “ to the current iteration HI2, trumps mobbed up fuckery has always been a kakistocracy!
a kleptokakistocracy IMHO

Was it Timothy Snyder who said Trump=Musk=Putin ?
It was Nancy Pelosi who said to Trump "with you all roads lead to Putin".
And Hillary who said he is Putin's puppet.
Everything I'm seeing is that Patel was born in New Jersey to Indian immigrant parents.
There are Patels in this area in the medical field. Some are excellent in my their field. Many people here were not as affected by Covid as those on the coasts. There are ones who have not been vaccinated at all.
My post is in response to your statement "Patel is from India." Maybe you meant to say that the surname PATEL is Indian.
Kash Patel is from New Jersey.
I was not commenting on the rest of your statement regarding COVID19.
So, here’s what I’d like to ask Patel: If you take the vaccine reversal medication, do you know that it’s working when you get COVID?
When the protocol people give instructions about how to address Daddy Kushner, will it be Convicted Criminal Kushner or just Ambassador Kushner?
Will someone please remind those "Jews will not replace us" assholes that trump's daughter, Ivanka, Jared, and 3 of trump's grandchildren are Jewish?
Like my mom’s family said about my dad, they’re one of the “good ones”. Unlike us space laser carrying ones. 🙄
“Pardon moi, Ambassador Kushner,” would be reminder enough.
