Kash Patel's meltdown over a jacket

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

The damaging new dossier, obtained by the New York Post's Miranda Devine, detailed an embarrassing tantrum Patel allegedly threw after the assassination of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk.

Patel reportedly flew into Provo, Utah, on September 11, the day after the assassination, and refused to 'disembark from the plane without an FBI raid jacket.'
He did not have his own, and was so concerned about the optics that he pulled Salt Lake City FBI field agents from the investigation and ordered them to find him a medium-sized jacket.

They eventually tracked down one he could wear but embarrassingly, it belonged to a female agent.

Patel was reportedly fuming when he received the jacket and erupted when he noticed 'two areas on the upper sleeves did not have Velcro patches attached', and still refused to step off the plane.

Ultimately, 'members of an FBI SWAT Team took patches off their uniforms and ran those patches over' to stop Patel's outburst.
Only then did he disembark the plane, the report claims.

1. LOL 😂

[Irish_Dem]

2. It's all about the self-important optics. Costumes, and scripted speeches/talking points.

Nothing of substance.
No attempt to be a public servant and work for the people.

[roscoeroscoe]

44. Exactly

It's all hat, no cattle... image, not substance... pantomime not reality.

"Where's my costume!"

[DBoon]

51. that describes the entire Trump administration

from the MAGA hats on down

[popsdenver]

62. Most likely, he gave

Krusty Noem his for her notoriously famous cosplay wardrobe......and that is why she has two brand new multi million dollar personal jets!
One jet is to carry her adulteress boy toy around with her, ......and the other to follow close, with her Barbie Style "dress up" uniforms............
Some reporter should ask Noem's legal husband if he enjoys being her cuckhold for the last year or two.....or maybe longer with other boy toys even before that......

[Irish_Dem]

64. Second airplane carries her costumes, hair extensions, botox injections, stylist, beautician,

massage therapist, speech writer, PR team, etc etc.

Oh and the drugs and booze.

[popsdenver]

68. She truly was getting to be

a middle-aged worn out hag, like all of Trump's close held tramps. They all went out, got a ton of plastic surgery, long hair like Melania's, Lipo, and most importantly the pre-requist...... "Republican Rack" demanded by Trump........
All of them.....Kari Lake, Pam Bondi, Bang-Bang Boebert, Kristi Noem, Karoline Leavitt, etc, etc, etc......if you google their college photos, they are all flat chested. The sad thing is, that when they went into the surgeon, he gave them all the choice of BOOBS or BRAINS, and their choice was: BOOBS...........Brains would have turned off Trump.....

[Irish_Dem]

70. I always wonder what these gals had to do to in their job interview with Trump.

After they mutilate themselves and turn into ugly barbie dolls, I guess they do
whatever Trump wants.

[popsdenver]

71. Like I've always said

at least with crack whores, you know there are things THEY definitely WILL NOT DO, for ANY amount of money....

[Irish_Dem]

72. Like I always said

Sex workers have more honesty and integrity than any of the Trump ho bags.

[LilElf70]

3. This is the

environment THEY have created. Besides that, what a whiny cry baby.

That is all.

[TheBlackAdder]

69. Dems should do what Repubs do, and use their full names as a negative: Kashyap Pramod Patel

Time for payback for all of those Barack Hussein Obama mentions used in a negative way.

[KS Toronado]

4. Did Der orange Fuhrer teach him the CRY BABY antics?

[Gimpyknee]

5. Who's Charlie Kirk?

[ProfessorGAC]

29. Just Days After He Was Killed...

...I posted a very similar sentiment and suggested that in a month he would be "Charlie Who?"
Now, I'm reading articles stating the the Rs did not the mileage from his assassination they thought they'd get.
This leads me back to a conclusion that all of this is a cult of personality for which there is no heir.

[GopherGal]

73. Charlie Kirk? I think he was EriKKKa Vance's first husband...

Gotta keep that in mind for future bar trivia games, though.

[Smackdown2019]

74. Still never heard of him...

Only hear how he is a martyr to the MAGA party... and his widow wife showing affection to the VICE-PRESIDENT. Wonder what the history books would print about this decade.... probably a chapter labeled "Bizarre"

As for that Kirk Fellow.... still never heard of him... but sounds to be a douchebag.

Which....is basically any MAGA Magot is.

[Scrivener7]

6. Interesting that this is being reported in a Rupert Murdoch paper.

Behold your Frankenstein, Rupert.

[newdeal2]

13. Feels like Kash, Pete, and Bondi won't make it to season 2

Although I’m sure they’ll find someone even worse to replace them.

[dem4decades]

28. R.upert must have received the word, dirty Patel's image.

[Javaman]

7. boy, they sure like to play dress up.

just another sign of complete incompetence

[SergeStorms]

76. The thing is....

Kirk was shot in the neck, so Pete Hogsbreath's vest would have done absolutely NADA to stop a lethal shot had anyone cared to shoot him. Face it, Pete, no one gives a crap about you.

[2naSalit]

8. Optics...

A lot of their alleged importance has to do with optics.

And yeah, they sure do like to play dress up.

[GiqueCee]

9. Such infantile behavior...

... is certainly in line with this regime's modus operandi. It is poisonous, and infects those who kneel in abject obeisance before the Orange Hellbeast and worship his malice and mendacity.
Gee, I hope the infection's not fatal. Heh, heh, heh.


(For the terminally obtuse)

[70sEraVet]

10. For 'the clothes' to 'make the man',

there has to be at least the germ of 'the man' to begin with.
It sounds like the jacket didn't really help --

[Attilatheblond]

19. 'Petty Kash' is almost as insecure as the Felon who gave him an important job to fail miserably at attempting

It is a huge insult to the men and women of the FBI and professional law enforcement in general to put such incompetence at the helm of the nations premier investigative service.

edited for typo

[vanlassie]

55. Well considering we first heard of him as

“An aide to Devin Nunes…” he rose fast and is gonna fall harder.

[Vinca]

11. What a total ass.

[twodogsbarking]

12. Waaaaaaah, I want my binkey.

[speak easy]

14. Miranda Devine is a MAGA propagandist.

The PTB ave decided to take Kash out to the trash.

[yellowcanine]

15. Given J Edgar Hoover's "leanings" it is appropriate that

the jacket was from a female agent.

[Dave Bowman]

37. As much as I hate(d) Hoover, the cross-dressing thing was invented by Truman Capote. But Hoover was a closeted gay and

a hypocrite. Going after gay people while being a closeted gay man is repulsive. Roy Cohn is another fine example.

[IbogaProject]

16. I guess he is scared of a rapid deportation

So lets cut our law enforcement chief some slack as due process is being ignored and he could very well be grabbed, dragged cross country and even deported to Africa within days.

[NoMoreRepugs]

17. The Cosplay element of this entire administration is mind boggling.

[RedWhiteBlueIsRacist]

18. A ten dollar man in a hundred dollar coat is still a ten dollar man.

[FakeNoose]

20. Both Patel and Noem are cosplayers ... and they're trying to out do one another

.. and .of course the American media plays along.

[Queso Delicioso]

21. Keystone Kash. Cosplaying as always.

[Renew Deal]

22. He's a Larper

[mgardener]

23. I still want to know

What Patel, Stefanik & Kevin McCarthy discussed with Trump in the Oval office on Jan 4th.

Patel and Stefanik were rewarded while McCarthy went home to California.

[Danascot]

45. Stefanik is pissed that

trump pulled her nomination to be ambassador to the UN. After ass-kissing for years that's what she gets.

[PatSeg]

24. My god, the boss from hell

Just imagine what the FBI agents he commands think and say about him behind closed doors.

[rampartd]

46. they don't think or say anything that they might set off the polygraph.

[PatSeg]

65. Good point

Though I don't think they can help but think it. It must be hell having him in charge.

[3Hotdogs]

25. Instead of running around, looking for a jacket and patches, they should have told him

they are flying one in from his office in D.C. --- see if he sits on the plane for 4 hours or whines and gets off the plane.

[czarjak]

26. We. Are. Doomed.

"I whine until I get MY WAY"
He's taught THEM all.

[NBachers]

27. Just give Baby Kash one of these, pat him on his bony little ass, and send him out to play.

[Timewas]

30. Our wonderful government

Needs some nannies to take care of their kindergarton group

[BOSSHOG]

31. So kash literally wears an empty suit

[dem4decades]

32. It's hilarious that Patel thinks anyone is looking at anything other than his crazy eyes.

[Kid Berwyn]

33. Did he remember to bring his tiny chair?

[kairos12]

34. My guess is if the jacket

was returned it was burned.

[dalton99a]

35. "I am not an illegal Indian immigrant. I AM DIRECTOR OF THE FBI!!!"

36. Aww he just wanted to play dress up. How old is he? 10?

[Norrrm]

38. Gotta love that ID badge.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

39. Patel is a baby

This made me smile

Link to tweet

[MustLoveBeagles]

40. Oh my god

Why am I not surprised?

[John1956PA]

41. The fact that this story got out shows that at least one person in the FBI does not like him.

[Prairie Gates]

42. Here it is...

?

This is the dipshit upon his arrival in Utah. A medium? I think it's time for Mr. Patel to be more honest with himself!



The patch on his right shoulder indeed is "FBI SWAT Salt Lake City Division * Idaho Montana Utah," so that tracks.

The other patch is also FBI SWAT, Salt Lake City Division (different than the right arm, though):

[Wounded Bear]

43. When optics are more important than performance...

that's what you get, a bunch of pampered brats.

Kinda defines the trump era.

[Boo1]

47. That's a nice jacket

Does it come in mens sizes?

[Bayard]

60. LOL!

[Buddyzbuddy]

48. LMAO! Every single one of the Felon's choices is so damaged.

The Felon has put together a collection of misfits damaged beyond repair. I can't wait for the hearings.

The criminality of their actions won't be the only thing exposed but I'm sure we'll be somewhat befuddled and amused by their stupidity on display. Unfortunately at the expense of America. I'm surprised the Felon with his fragile ego doesn't realize how much of a reflection these choices are about him and his inability to "pick the best people".

[Ilsa]

75. ITA. Felon47 has the highest turnover rate of

any administration, ever. He fires people. People get run out from embarrassment of being huge fuckups. Others leave because they don't want to lose their license or end up in prison.

He's afraid to hire genuinely qualified people because he thinks they'll make him look dumb. (Actually, they don't play a part in that.)

[Blue Owl]

49. Kashyap Pramod Patel... have you heard of him?

[BradBo]

50. Patal, just another Trump loving weirdo.

[SheltieLover]

52. Would anyone here really expect Manson Eyes to behave normally?

[MustLoveBeagles]

53. Lol

DON'T YOU KNOW WHO I AM!!?

[Traildogbob]

54. What the hell

Is the Budget for his and Noems outfit needs? Somewhere around the defense budgets levels?
Yet kids are not eating, and sick need to die.
As Jebus demanded. Look it up, in the Trump auto penned BuyBull.
Merry Christmas to the Jewish refugee family.
Wait, if Mary was Jewish and Joseph as well, but did not partake, what exactly is God’s ethnicity?
The cult needs to know. White American?????
If God is supreme AND white, well, there ya go.
Megan has an argument.

[Torchlight]

56. One wardrobe malfunction and suddenly these cosplayers act as if

the entire universe just personally insulted them .I wish I were naive enough to believe a jacket could hide my own glaring flaws and colossal failures.

[Cherokee100]

57. Poor baby

Poor baby, he wanted to look macho.

[Marie Marie]

58. I can't wait for his humiliation after being fired. Wipe that arrogant smug look right off his face.

[LudwigPastorius]

59. That bug-eyed shithead is trying to outdo Kristi Noem in the cosplay department.

[JoseBalow]

61. Pathetic

[Grins]

63. Remember when Gingrich threw a tantrum on AF One...?

Made all the papers. This is just as bad.

[bluescribbler]

66. This effing child is in charge of the FBI?

He is a disgrace.

[Crunchy Frog]

67. So all of our major security agencies are being run by little divas.

Gosh, I sure feel safe.
