Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Kind of what you get when you hire based on loyalty rather than competence.
welcome to the kakistocracy
Same as the old kakistocracy
It's really not
Who would have thought that a complete noob with a bad bias does not work out in an environment that requires professionalism.
This is what happens when you hire people wholly unqualified for the job. Absolute DEI hire by their own definition.
He looks to me like someone's loser frat buddy with a D+ GPA, who they stuck a cheap suit on, and put in the position he was least qualified for. He seems to wear a permanent expression of panic, like he's a bugged NPC, who's face is stuck.
Haha. He only got the job because he sucked up so much by writing a kids book about Trump losing the election.
That’s how they all got the jobs. Being sycophants to the extreme.
And Kash looks like what I imagine most would after seeing the Epstein files.
To be fair, when your job is to lie about your true directives it does end up making you look pretty damn stupid. He's also quite stupid.
To be fair, it began with the misstep of his senate confirmation.
They aren't "missteps," they're deliberate.
Newsweek busting out the hard-hitting investigative reporting aga- oh wait no, it’s just listicles by another name.
Listen they gotta share a single subscription to ChatGPT and can't afford the $20 version this month so corners gonna get cut
I need an adult to help me do my job!
Kash Patel's tenure as a Trump loyalist is going smoothly, though. And that's what matters.
He's a fucking moron.
The guy is looking into another dimension instead of reality.
Yeah, walking is pretty hard when you're a fucking idiot.
Who could've seen that coming.
All of this cabinet is a trainwreck disaster. Now he’s going to have to deal with feral MAGA turning on king pedo Karen
Get the cabbage.
he got tenure? fuck.
It's what you want in a security position really. Why wouldn't you want a bumbling oaf in charge of secret intelligence operations?!
