Just wondering. Lincoln Square was talking about Cleta Mitchell, from Oklahoma, I believe she is a former legislator, and what a good idea it would be to have a restraining order made out state by state to keep her out, because she had the potential to steal votes. Any chance you can do a Shitty Past episode on her?

His real name is Kashyap. That's funnily appropriate.

A friend of mine is creating a deck of playing cards of the for the 52 worst Trumpers. He told Patel is such a such an unsufferable incompetent tool deserves 2 different spots. So he is giving him one of the jokers.

How would any of Kash Patels predecessors been fully accountable if they did the same things? If I where an FBI agent that worked there asses off to become what they are I would seriously have nothing great to say about a man who is more concerned about his tail piece than the integrity of the office he holds.

Well he learned from the President. Just put your name on everything and get paid. How many other FBI directors have put the shield of the FBI on a whiskey bottle? Can we cheapen the highest law enforcement agency a in the US a bit more? I think that party is already getting started.

I love how FBI has become some sort of influencer x branding operation and meanwhile criminals are probably just doing their thing knowing the director is too busy getting personalised stuff and jetting off to hang with his girlfriend or drink with the hockey team. 🤣 The entire staff morale must be pretty low and sinking whenever they read more of these stories if they've not already heard via internal gossip.

It's a positive development that Savannah Guthrie has been able to make it back to her morning show. Here is something to consider: Savannah Guthrie had a prime-time interview with Virginia Giuffre with plans to follow up. Somebody kidnapped Savannah Guthrie’s mother. Chances are that she is no longer with us, regretfully. No serious discussions on ransom. Ransom was not the primary motive. I guess that there will be no more focus on the Epstein files initiated by Savannah Guthrie.

First thing ladies, his name is Tra$h Patel. That’s what he should’ve put on those bottles of bourbon. Then he could’ve added his sales pitch-
“Come get TRASHED with me!”
He’s such a little weasel. I bet he’s really really mad now 😂😂

Anecdotaly apparently it would only take 2.8 Billion to end homelesses across the USA. I don't know how accurate that is. Either way, I'm in the UK and continue to wish good luck to the USA. ❤

I didn't really understand what happened until I looked at LA through google maps. If this is something homeless people want to have happen they might do it by following the weather, at any time. I guess this makes them the enemy in some quarters and neutral in others.

It's illegal to use government logos for personal merchandising
I'm not sure if it's illegal as a gag gift, but I would imagine so
You would assume the director of the FBI would know this
It's OK the secretary of defense got a tattoo with the flag backwards for artistic purposes I suppose

so you know what the problem is, where it originated, who's responsible, how it all began all the minutiua, etc… gots any solutions? any plans to correct? any actionable stratigies for future generations? no? just snark? just jokes? whay not start a punk band and sell maga merch ironically? just as useful and cathartic if you won't make the sacrifices nessisary to stop this and prevent further rot in your culture. Im not sayin', i'm just sayin', knowwhattimsayin?
