[@janetshemaryahu5529]

The rot and corruption uncovered at the FBI and the Department of Justice was sickening, jaw-dropping. It was the most brazen law breaking by the highest US “law enforcement” agencies - and it was all directed at a duly-elected President of the United States, Donald Trump. Because those elites despised his type and his type of supporters, the ordinary people and because those elites believed that only they had the right to power. Kash Patel has fire in his belly and is super smart, and he is who Trump supporters want. He worked like a dog for years as a Compressional aid in Washington without glory uncovering the rot.

[@herodotus7]

I support Patel.

[@equsnarnd]

Me too. When people you are fond of [Emily] trot out a wholly one sided view of this as though there is only revenge and no holding people to account, as though if you aren't for kumbya unity you're for bomb throwing in the streets, it makes me angry and ill.
