The Guy Who Wrote Kids Books About Trump is Named to be FBI Director

So the guy who wrote kids books about Donald Trump has been named to be FBI Director. His qualifications to be FBI Director? Lol

President-elect Donald Trump has nominated Kash Patel to serve as FBI director, turning to a fierce ally to upend America’s premier law enforcement agency and rid the government of perceived “conspirators.” It’s the latest bombshell Trump has thrown at the Washington establishment and a test for how far Senate Republicans will go in confirming his nominees.

“I am proud to announce that Kashyap ‘Kash’ Patel will serve as the next Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation,” Trump posted Saturday night on Truth Social. “Kash is a brilliant lawyer, investigator, and ‘America First’ fighter who has spent his career exposing corruption, defending Justice, and protecting the American People.”

Kash Patel wrote TWO kids books that lionize Donald Trump and casts himself as a faithful servant. That’s really all you need to know about Kash Patel. Anyone who wants to kiss butt so bad they write *children’s* books about Donald Trump should not be in charge of ANY Federal Agency let alone the FBI. The FBI!

My god is this really where we are as a society? We have a guy who writes Donald Trump propaganda for children in the running to be FBI Director?

The FBI’s responsibilities range from investigating violations of Federal laws, to countering foreign espionage, to stopping acts of terror. And Kash Patel seemingly wants to scale back the FBI across all fronts. Supposedly Kash wants to shrink the entire FBI footprint. Which will be devastating to the United States.

He’s called for dramatically reducing the FBI’s footprint, a perspective that dramatically sets him apart from earlier directors who have sought additional resources for the bureau, and has suggested closing down the bureau’s headquarters in Washington and “reopen it the next day as a museum of the deep state”

Not only will the United States find itself not enforcing the very laws Congress has chosen to make, not only will foreign governments have a field day operating in the US, but there’s a chance that acts of terror become easier to achieve. The lack of resources has a very real impact on capabilities. You cannot lie and say that lacking resources does not change effectiveness.

I’m going to guess that is exactly the lie the Trump Administration will pass off, that the FBI will be MORE effective and not less with fewer resources. We’ll have to see about that.

But what I can tell you is that Kash Patel is a butt kisser in the extreme and does not deserve to lead a Federal Agency like the FBI. I don’t even know what work he’s done that qualifies him to do so. It doesn’t sound like a single thing he’s done actually matters. But here we are.
