Ain’t it grand how the populists all come in and they’ve got a way to reduce spending, ala DOGE, but that only lasts until they decide to do some lavish spending themselves? We have seen this pattern again and again and today we see the hypocrisy of Kash Patel — not for the first time nor for the last. Patel, as you’ve heard, used a jet and spent $60K on a date (hey, if you were him, you’d probably have to spend $60K to get a date, too) but he was very upset with Christopher Wray at one point for spending a fraction of that.

Maybe we ground you, Kash. Your machinations make Wray’s look modest.
The FBI has reportedly fired an official who had been at the bureau for 27 years, after stories of Kash Patel using an FBI jet to go on a date broke on Wednesday.
Steven Palmer, who joined the bureau in 1998, was deputy assistant director of the FBI’s Critical Incident Response Group (CIRG) and charged with overseeing its aviation units. His exit was made official on Friday, making him the third CIRG boss to be fired during Patel’s brief tenure, Bloomberg reported.
According to three people familiar with the situation who spoke to Bloomberg, Patel was outraged by articles and social media posts that highlighted his private jet use. The articles and posts proliferated after a self-styled FBI whistleblower drew attention to his flight logs.
“We’re in the middle of government shutdown where they’re not even gonna pay all of the employees that work for the agency that this guy heads. And this guy is jetting off to hang out with his girlfriend in Nashville on our dime?” Kyle Seraphin, a former FBI agent said on his podcast.
“He flew a $60 million aircraft to go hang out there. Is that gross to anybody else?”
Publicly available data for Patel’s plane shows the plane landing near Penn State on Oct. 25 before flying to Nashville later that evening. A now-deleted photo posted to Instagram by Patel’s girlfriend, country musician Alexis Wilkins, shows the couple attending a Real American Freestyle event at Penn State that evening.
The FBI’s Assistant Director for Public Affairs Ben Williamson posted a lengthy defense of his boss on X on Thursday, calling the criticisms “disingenuous and dumb” and an example of “bad faith whining.”
“This FBI is delivering and it’s because of a great team working incredibly hard with Kash Patel and Dan Bongino at the helm. We have zero time for people who peddle trash because they have nothing better to do,” he wrote in response to a Daily Beast report on the matter.
Nice to know that Kash has his ass kissers in place. That’s so important to MAGA rule, having the sycophants stacked up like planes over a black star airport. And never forget what an ass kisser Patel is. Don’t forget it literally takes the jaws of life to pry his lips from Trump’s ass.
What will be left of our government for the next Democratic president to take over?
working incredibly hard on what exactly?
