      He’s an idiot, just like Noem and the rest. Unfortunately that doesn’t mean he is harmless.

      _The FBI director couldn’t stop himself from posting news that shouldn’t be public._ 

      Who says it shouldn’t be public?    If my government is going to be playing games like this I want to know about it.

      So that’s the second international incident in what, two or three days? Or maybe the third? It’s getting hard to keep track.

      At this point, Trump is Vince McMahon and he’s doing a new plot line to take heat off Noel so he gets Kash to go start shit.

      Adding:
      >An FBI operation to capture former Olympian turned suspected cocaine trafficker Ryan Wedding in Mexico has shaken relations between the U.S. and its southern neighbor.
      >Last week, the U.S. deployed the FBI’s Hostage Rescue Team to Mexico to capture Wedding, who once was protected by the powerful Sinaloa cartel. But that was supposed to be kept secret, especially since Mexican law prohibits foreign law enforcement officers from being physically present in operations on Mexican soil, let alone take part in raids and arrests.
      >On Friday, however, FBI Director Kash Patel announced the joint operation publicly on X. “Our FBI HRT teams executed with precision, discipline, and total professionalism alongside our Mexican partners to bring Ryan James Wedding back to face justice,” he wrote, sending shock waves through Mexico.
      >Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum scrambled to perform damage control, as foreign intervention in Mexico is politically toxic. She said that there was no U.S. involvement in the operation and that U.S. agents in Mexico are limited by law.
      >“I’m not going to get into a debate with the FBI director, nor do I want there to be a conflict,” Sheinbaum said at a press conference Tuesday. “What they, the U.S. authorities, told the Mexican authorities is that it was a voluntary surrender.” >She pointed to a picture Wedding posted to his Instagram account at the U.S. Embassy in Mexico announcing that he was turning himself in.
      >Wedding’s lawyer Anthony Colombo disputes that account, saying that Wedding was handcuffed by FBI agents and transported to California.
      >“He was arrested, he didn’t surrender,” Colombo told The Wall Street Journal, adding, “If the U.S. government is unilaterally going into a sovereign country and apprehending somebody, you can understand the concern that sovereign entity might have.”

      I know of someone in my orbit that is an FBI agent and a high-ish position, just from secondhand conversations they’ve apparently said it’s become too politically driven, too toxic, and a lot of senior employees are about to just quit. When you’ve gone your entire career with how things are supposed to work (an apolitical branch of government) and are suddenly lambasted with paranoid Trump-kissing sycophant leaders, you just don’t even want to work through that.

      Kash Patel looks at all times like a stoned teenager who is worried the cop can tell he is high.

      The irony is that the reason we get away with these things is because all we do for the world that our allies look the other way when these things happen. We won’t get their grace now that we are demanding tribute and humiliation. So they want the flexibility of being the worlds leader but they don’t want the responsibility of being the worlds leader.

      Can someone explain to me why so many in the FBI are „just following orders“?
      Going into Mexico, not investigating ICE murders, the Epstein files…

    22. VaguelyArtistic on

      Creating an incident with the Mexican government is one thing. But did he just fuck with the cartels?

    23. Spirit50Lake on

      ‚Patel’s rash decision to post about Wedding’s arrest online doesn’t help the situation right now.‘

      (Derpy McDerp face…)

    24. Todesfaelle on

      Kash is no doubt in the position he’s in because it’ll be easy for the administration to distance themselves if/when things go south because he’s so stupid and uniquely unqualified that he’ll be the easiest sacrificial goat when heads roll.

      The administration will just say „yeah, no, he’s an idiot who did everything wrong“ and wash their hands of it because everyone will agree and move on to a larger fish to fry.

      The problem is this is, like, 98% of those picked by Trump but Kash is pretty tame compared to Noem and Hegseth even though he’s still a danger to society.

    27. BisquickNinja on

      Crash Patel at it once again.

      He’s just sending people in harm’s way because he’s too incompetent to know better.

    29. HistoricalWalrus5767 on

      Nobody in the administration has the slightest idea what they are doing.

    31. EternalAngst23 on

      Isn’t this the same arsehole who posted a photo on social media featuring British intelligence informants which MI5 had explicitly requested *not* be published?

      He’s an incompetent fucking moron.

    32. Ursus_Unusualis_7904 on

      It is amazing what happens when the Senate approves incompetent people for critical jobs.

    36. ThatGuyNJoCo on

      So legit question. Can Wedding walk because the US didn’t have the authority to arrest hime without consent or cooperation from Mexico?

    38. MurberBirb on

      Hey Mexico, our Priminister gave a speech the other day that you all should really listen to. It applies. 😘🇨🇦

    41. Valuable_Falcon6330 on

      Man, remember back when the FBI and all the other 3 letter institutions of the US were actually fucking competent at their jobs and good at keeping things under wraps? we wouldn’t have learned about this until 60 years later when all the people involved were long dead if it was Nixon or FDR’s FBI! not that this is a bad thing, its always good to hear how incompetent the FBI really is.

    42. PossessionPutrid1907 on

      Crazy eye was pretty amped during the news conference for the arrest. I thought why is he yelling? I’m sure he probably ejaculated while doing so.

    43. StatelyTree on

      After seeing how small he is and hearing his lil‘ squeaker voice, I cannot take him seriously lol

    44. iIdentifyasGrinch on

      Sigh. Is there anything left on the planet that Chump and his Insane Klown Posse haven’t fucked up?

    46. peche-mortelle00 on

      As an adult, one of the lessons you learn is that everyone is making it up as they go, and true leaders who lead with wisdom and empathy are rare. This fake it till you make it administración are all bottom feeders. Fungus gnats that need to be ostracized from society and put in jail where criminals and other ne’er do belong

    47. PricklyPear85 on

      I swear he’s so dumb I’ve honestly thought he’s just a paid actor
