A leaked 115 page report by current & former FBI personnel describes the bureau under Kash Patel as a “rudderless ship” & says he is “in over his head,” lacking the experience & bearing needed to be an effective FBI director—

Fentanyl. Drug Overdoses, including Fentanyl, are not even in the top 20 causes of death in the USA. Cancer, Diabetes, Covid, Heart Disease all in the top 10, and all have had their research funding cut. They aren't murdering just Venezuelans. However they are killing us much slower.

He's not "crass", he's verbally abusive, and the press are his codependent enablers.
🚨DJT wins at one thing: He is the most crass and embarrassing person to ever represent at least half of the country - whether they would admit it or not. Too, nobody who is innocent of having misled the country intentionally acts like this.

It's amazing to me how Trump has destroyed the professionalism of the DOJ. The attorneys used to be the cream of the crop. Now, they aren't even the cream of the crap.

The Trump administration is abusing the military justice system to target its political opponents. A despicable new low for a group that strives everyday to find the moral bottom.

This is a wonderful time to support journalists who do the work, don’t fuck sources, and actually have moral clarity.
