Looks like a human-muppet hybrid.
FTFY
I hope he does, and then when people start taking depositions, then people will be testifying under oath about how much he actually drinks.
I don’t really care how much he drinks, I’m more interested in what he got for covering up the Epstein files and what other corrupt crimes he has committed.
It's fun when my government decides which administration officials to shitcan via press leak vibe check.
Have you noticed it's the ones that should know better? The ones most representative of the kinds of people these shit bags ALWAYS shit on? The women and minorities. I don't understand how someone could be either of those two categories and still think they're safe with these people.
What kind of democracy is this? I feel like we need to come up with a new term, like fascism but stupider.
Your country voted for this. They chose this.

When a hockey player looks at you like this... You might have/be a problem.
This is what Josh Johnson was talking about, wow. Apparently Patel wormed his way in with these guys because he wanted to hang out. How do you say no to the FBI directer?
Pretty sure the look is because they don’t want this dork hanging out with them and has nothing to do with the beer.
Great expenditure of the taxes I just paid these assholea.
You say “no”
The answer is always no, no matter who the FBI director is.

This looks like how Mack from Always Sunny would behave at a college frat party that he wasn't invited to.
"The Defense rests, Your Honor."
"Yeah, I figured. Well, this is going to be easy..."
This sounds like a My Cousin Vinny reference. 🤔
Now do Hegseth.
Hegseth will be fine, he has the ~~white~~right credentials....
I think you mean Kegsbreath
I woukd really rather these guys stay drunk.
Fire his unqualified ass.
Fire them all until they run out of worse people to replace them with.
You could see this coming in their roll out of the info on him.
- First they talk about non-provable shit that he's a drinker, or fired the pilot for the coast guard because of a blanket, etc.
- We are here: Then they start about maybe, possibly, firing them. It's in the air.
- Person is fired and left taking the blame for everything.
This person PRs
I would like Patel to stay where he is, until Iran has simultaneously cut off all the heads of the Dogey hydra. Best to keep the defenses of this failson "America" weakened until the monsters end up in cardboard caskets. The Orange One, the Kegged One, the Unhealthy One, The Over 50,000 One, The Saruman One, The White African One, The Uncle Thomas One, The Couched One, all of the other Ones.
We have so fucking many examples of awful. 😒

Half of these sound like Diablo bosses LMAO.
I am hoping to someday play videogames where confronting such evils is part of the gameplay loop. "President Evil", where you explore a white house and eventually descend into the basement of a destroyed wing, after solving puzzles that utterly befuddled the evil things sealed below.
Side note, I watched Predator Badlands last night and every time there was a face shot of the predator it made me think of Kash.
Poor Dek. 🤦🏼♂️

Patel has vowed to sue The Atlantic and Fitzpatrick, suggesting in a social media post that the article met the high legal bar to qualify as defamation.
I doubt that. Patel is a public figure. The US has a high bar for defamation to start with, and it gets harder for public figures.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Times_Co._v._Sullivan
New York Times Co. v. Sullivan, 376 U.S. 254 (1964), is a landmark U.S. Supreme Court decision that ruled the freedom of speech protections in the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution limit the ability of public officials to sue for defamation.[1][2] The decision held that if a plaintiff in a defamation lawsuit is a public official or candidate for public office, then not only must they prove the normal elements of defamation—publication of a false defamatory statement to a third party—they must also prove that the statement was made with "actual malice", meaning the defendant either knew the statement was false or recklessly disregarded whether it might be false.[2] New York Times Co. v. Sullivan is frequently ranked as one of the greatest Supreme Court decisions of the modern era.
And truth is an absolute defence. I imagine the Atlantic had lots of meetings with lawyers about publishing a story about Patel being an unqualified, paranoid, incompetent drunk.
Is it just booze, or can we start calling him Kush Patel yet?
I was just reading an article about the first administration medication dispensal records and it was wild.
Here is a different article.
Did anyone else see that shit during the winter Olympics where he was partying with team USA? This doesn't surprise me at all
Was he partying with them? Or was he simply in their presence and partying?
He was partying with them. They were not partying with him.
The team USA men's hockey team definitely partied with him and then ate McDonald's with trump, they are disgusting lil pricks
They went to the White House, other medal winners chose not to
Instantly wished Canada team won as soon as they agreed to do this. Respect to the Women's team who had better things to do than photo op with a dimwitted fascist.

I think the answer is "yes"
The Trump Regime's lawsuits against journalists have this far been bigly faceplants, YUGE on the order of the Melonballia movie.
That said, when he cements his power later this year, I fear for any media figure who dared to oppose him.
