Kash Patel Krashes Again

This boy refuses to learn from his past mistakes. His big mistakes. His comments and demands when something happens that he doesn’t like. This time he is walking a razor’s edge, and he doesn’t seem to understand what replying does to his and the FBI’s reputation. If people on Xitter (possibly) watch these two accounts closely, this would be a piece of news that would make them look very, very bad. And it all came out in an FBI Epstein dump.

Kash seemingly doesn’t care. He was pushing his staff to reply to an account that causes “what in the hail is he thinking?!” because yes, it is that bad. It’s hard to believe there are still people like this in today’s world. Perhaps we are not as advanced as we thought. That’s embarrassing. Elon taking over Xitter was a horrible mistake, because now anyone and everyone can get an account. Why am I mentioning Elon? Because of what he’s done and the use of what this column is about. Now, back to Kash Krashing. My gratitude for Raw Story:

The offending post came from an account named after a slur for people with intellectual disabilities, which had shared Patel’s official portrait and mock-congratulated him for hitting “all-time highs” on its insult of choice. Williamson described it to Patel as “an ‘Epstein didn’t kill himself‘ bot account.” But Patel wasn’t deterred. He insisted the “277k responses are not bots” and pressed his spokesman on a standing order.

The link has been removed because nobody should have to read that. It‘s in the full Raw Story article, which has been linked just above, if you really want to go look. But now you have a hint about what the account is and the sorts of things they post. And now you know why it’s prudent to be very cautious. This is not the sort of thing that *anyone* (except Kash Patel) wants to be associated with. Absolutely not. But he keeps pushing and pushing, and here’s what happened:

“What i asked you and your team to do is find them, and post our record-year results back at them all, continuously,” Patel wrote, before asking whether staff had actually been doing it. They hadn’t. Williamson first knocked down the premise, noting the 277,000 was views, not replies, and that the post had drawn only about 400 responses. Then he made clear the team had been declining to carry out the order. “We’re not responding to ‘ifindr——s.’ That would look bad on you,” Williamson wrote.

Thank you, sir, for having common sense! And thank you for pushing back! There is no need to reply to someone like this. He’s trolling accounts for attention, and doing so badly. He’s trying to get a rise out of people so he gets more interest. Fortunately, there are people in the FBI who know better than to play that game. Trolls gotta troll. We thought we didn’t have to concern ourselves with trolls anymore. Apparently, that’s not the case.

Williamson is definitely one of the good guys. Kash kept pushing; Williamson kept responding, “Oh, hail no.” If we thought Kash had the tiniest bit of sense, it wouldn’t be so bad. But he doesn’t, so it’s officially time to think he’s nuts. It’s been confirmed. His worth is nothing. He’s embarrassed himself so many times with his flubs that we thought Trump might actually get rid of him. Regretfully, not yet. But as mentioned in the Hegseth column earlier, these two are neck and neck about which one will be kicked out first. We should hope for both. The public screw-ups continue to pile on. Trump should make up his mind, except he doesn’t have much of a mind left these days. And these two aren’t concerned with being fired, so they keep on going.

Friends, I know everybody begs you for money. I promise you that, of all the outlets bugging you for spare change, we are the smallest and the hardest-working. We’re a bunch of old, disabled people, except for one writer in his mid-50s. But the rest of us are in our sixties and seventies, and this is a labor of love. All we’re asking for is the ability to continue our quest to tell the truth about Trump and help ensure democracy survives. If you can help, please do. Thank you. Ursula
