Patel authored a children’s picture book that pushed the claim that former President Joe Biden rigged the 2020 election against Trump.
You fucking losers.

Wow, what a garbage person. It takes a total piece of shit to be a Nazi.
Of course it's a picture book, that's the only thing he knows how to read
Was it really a children's book or did he write a book for adults, but it was just so damn stupid everyone assumed it was a children's book, and never bothered to clarify with him?
If it's the type of thing I think it is then it's a blatant propaganda book aimed at children but ends up being consumed almost exclusively by adults, because the kids want nothing to do with it and would rather just play Fortnight.
I mean, the GOP has long aimed their rhetoric at a fifth-grade reading comprehension level, so in a real sense everything they put out is a children's book. Trump's "innovation" was targeting a third-grade reading level.
That custom Trump Punisher scarf with his own "K$H" logo. What a man-child.
and sought a direct secure line to the Oval Office, bypassing the attorney general.
FBI directors since J. Edgar Hoover have maintained independence from the White House, but Patel is closely aligned with Trump.
Congress should really codify that into law, instead of it just being a "Gentleman's/society Agreement".

Add it to the list of things we need to codify. Like the president releasing his tax returns.
Yep. I know its a rule (that is being ignored), but it isn't actually a law?
Wonder why we bother with rules, if nobody is ever going to enforce them, especially when we vote into office those who don't care to follow them.

You could say the same about laws, considering how no one is enforcing them against the current administration.
The problem is that the Executive Branch is the one that enforces laws, and they have the authority to ignore laws they don't want to enforce. Discretion is a fundamental part of law enforcement, it is why you can get a warning for speeding instead of a ticket every time, their discretion ability wasn't codified. That is why generally federal law enforcement like the FBI operates independently even though they're under the Executive, so they can enforce laws and judicial decisions without interference. Interfering should trigger check and balances from the Legislative branch, and impeachment.
The system was never designed with the possibility of a takeover of all three branches simultaneously as a possibility. That just wasn't a thing they thought was likely to happen. But the system was also designed at a time when only white landowners could vote, and part of their societal expectation was to be educated, critical thinkers that were up to date, and active with politics. So those voting actually knew what was going on, and were educated to look at the various outcomes, even with media bias of the time.
As we've expanded voting rights, we never adjusted the system to account for uneducated voters or an increase in propaganda and outright lying from media outlets in any way. On top of that we've artificially limited the expansion of the House of Representatives so it no longer operates as designed. It was designed to represent the people via population, but the limit of 435 means that instead of it being representative of population, there are members representing a couple hundred thousand people and members representing millions, yet they have the same single vote. The House has become a pseudo-Senate, and is no longer capable of doing its job correctly because of it.
They are to subvert the working class and keep them in line
Somehow I don't think that would have mattered with these traitors.
Normally I would have disagreed with you, but these days, 🤷♂️ .
At least, it would have made it where they would be on the record officially about it, for history's sake.
And it would give others a chance/ammunition at pushing back, in the courts.

Just for the record, I do agree with you that these should have been codified by Congress.
Congress is irrelevant now. We're in a soft dictatorship now.
I'm just throwing this out there,not saying I would do it.
If an FBI, CIA, Teacher, um.....lets say delivery boy does some crazy shit to Kash. I believe I could forgive them, like jesus said to, even in a courtroom.
What are you talking about? Clearly all of those people were hanging out with me all night. They're completely innocent. My hand to god.
How big of a piece of shit do you have to be to fear your own people? The director of the FBI doesn't have enough faith in the ability or willingness of his own agents?
Or is it he doesn't want them knowing what he's up to? Where he goes and who he talks to?
Fucking embarrassing.....
They are purging agencies of anyone disloyal to Trump or investigating Russia
lol, no such thing as a "false leak"
Something tells me that's the next "fake news" catchphrase
Right! I was about to comment that when I saw your note - pick a lane bozos: either it's a leak or it's fake news, if it's fake it can't be leaked, only made up. These fuckers even suck at being paranoid cry wolf liars
I bet his mom thinks he’s a fudu and a panchod.
Lmfao
never trust someone with crazy eyes.
I can't read it without a paywall popping up. What does it say?
