    “Mr. Patel, I think you’re not going to be around long. I think this might be your last full oversight hearing,” Booker said. “Because as much as you supplicate yourself to the will of Donald Trump and not the constitution of the United States of America, Donald Trump has shown us in his first term, and in this term, he is not loyal to people like you. He will cut you loose.”

        Ultimately, of course. The question is when. Nattering nabobs want us to think soon.

    Kash gotta stick around to cover for that stuff, right?

    (If you don’t know what I’m talking about, keep it that way. This is like the dumbest bullshit I’ve ever heard, and I’ve heard a lotta bullshit. )

    The grift and corruption might have come to attention with Kash Patel, but instead of throwing one out, they should put the whole Trump mafia behind bars where they belong.

    I remember hearing that Trump is trying to keep people around for one year to see how they do. I wouldn’t be surprised if Hegseth isn’t going to be around much longer in his current position.
