One part that I do question is when Tucker Carlson says “it was not intentional.” I think it was — he just didn’t give a f*ck since he was making a shitload of money. But maybe I’m too cynical. 🤷‍♂️

FBI Director Kash Patel sues The Atlantic for $250 million over story on alleged drinking, absences FBI Director Kash Patel filed a defamation lawsuit against The Atlantic, saying a recent story about his alleged frequent drinking and absences included "false and obviously fabricated" claims.

Kash Patel tries to save his job by emulating Trump in every way.

Spend more time targeting perceived enemies than doing your job.

Criticize the media for doing theirs.
