Kash Patel appears to not know what's going on ever. He always looks like his mind was just blown by an entirely new concept.

He looks like a cartoon character after running off a cliff, looking town, realising they're about to fall and looking at the viewer in despair

Oh my fuck he looks batshit.

I imagine his brain is very itchy and he just can't scratch it, no matter how many drugs he takes.

I’m gonna be honest. I didn’t know who Dylann Roof was or that the shooting in 2015 even happened. Probably because I was real out of my mind at the time. And I’m not qualified to be FBI Director either.

Given that background it sounds like you're perfectly qualified for the Trump administration.

Make no mistake...he's just pretending not to know. These people have no moral integrity.

Nah, I believe him. I believe he's just not doing his job, he just occasionally runs into the office and orders everyone to drop what they're doing and help with whatever is in the news cycle

I believe he has no idea what's going on, because every word out of his mouth reads like he just did his first ride along. I believe him when he says he doesn't know who his department heads are, let alone current events

With a lot of them I would say that, but he's just so stupid it's possible you know

[–] wheezy@lemmy.ml 2 points 9 months ago

Nah. For most people I'd agree. This guy is literally clueless. If you've watched him talk more than one time you know this it typical. He has no idea what is going on.
