    Kind of what you get when you hire based on loyalty rather than competence.

    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.

    Kash Patel’s tenure as a Trump loyalist is going smoothly, though. And that’s what matters.
