Isn’t this the same assclown who drew comics that had Trump slaying dragons while wearing golden armor?

Correct. Definitely the most qualified person for the job.

Wasn't this dipshit on Rogan when the whole Epstein thing broke and he was like a deer caught in headlights?

On a separate note the Colorado shooter was radicalized by right-wing extremist white supremacists.

deer caught in headlights

He always looks like a deer caught in headlights. I think that's just his face.

Wait til they realize how incompetent the entire administration is

[–] PhilipTheBucket@piefed.social 32 points 5 months ago (2 children)

They're not going to. One of the bedrock principles is that it's never the leader's fault. Hence the endless cycle of suddenly discovering that some particular person is horrible, just the worst, and we tried to give him a chance but we have to get rid of him now, all the blame is on him, and welcome to our new genius who will do great things.

[–] Marshezezz@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 5 months ago

Yeah magats are kind of lost causes in general at this point. They’re just tainted humans in my eyes.

Powerful narcissists always leave a trail of flunkies with rapid hero-to-zero career trajectories.

Maybe the real Kirk killer was the friends we made along the way.

You're telling me the cross eyed vitamin supplement salesmen who once cohosted bannons podcast isn't qualified to run the FBI? Well I am shocked.

[–] Nougat@fedia.io 9 points 5 months ago

Well, not that shocked.

[–] SapphironZA@sh.itjust.works 28 points 5 months ago

He clearly did not get the memo on who they were going to scapegoat when they failed to track down the shooter.

[–] andallthat@lemmy.world 27 points 5 months ago (1 children)

facing scrutiny for saying BS? Come on, that's this admin's whole thing. The only thing he's facing is probably a "ha, that was a good one" with a complimentary slap on the back.

[–] tal@lemmy.today 12 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Honestly, he wasn't even BSing. He just wasn't bothering to validate information to the degree he should before issuing statements.

That's not great by normal standards, but by Trump administration messaging standards, I'd say that this is probably above average.

Compare this to the stuff that Trump puts out on either social media or on the White House website.

In fairness to Patel (which is a phrase I NEVER thought I'd type!) I thought the phrasing he used was that a "person of interest" was "in custody", which was technically true at the time?

Apparently, no, it was a tweet, so fuck that guy:

https://www.nytimes.com/2025/09/11/us/politics/fbi-patel-kirk-shooting.html

"On Wednesday evening, as word of Mr. Kirk’s killing reverberated around the nation, Mr. Patel, a former podcaster, posted welcome but fleeting news on his official X account.

“The subject for the horrific shooting today that took the life of Charlie Kirk is now in custody,” he wrote to his 1.8 million followers. “Thank you to the local and state authorities in Utah for your partnership with @fbi.”

Mr. Patel wrote the message after speaking with agents working the case, and quickly posted it himself without consulting his leadership team, according to two people with knowledge of his actions."

Which is why I always say, in the early hours on events like this, don't really believe ANYTHING without confirmation.

That’s not very Kash money of you.

“We need to be very clear, you are not going to get gun deaths to zero,” he said. “It will not happen. You can significantly reduce them, by having more fathers in the home, by having more armed guards in front of schools. We should have a honest and clear reductionist view of gun violence, but we should not have a utopian one.”

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 24 points 5 months ago (2 children)

It's weird, I never had any armed guards in front of my schools and yet we never had any school shootings at my schools. Odd that.

We did have one lockdown because there was a loose javelina running around, but that's an entirely different can of worms.

a loose javelina running around? Now that's got be a good story. And I'm sure the school did a better job of rounding him up then K.P.'s doing of find Luigi's less handsome brother.

Can't they just go to a nearby gay bar and arrest the first black drag queen they find? /s

[–] whiwake@lemmy.cafe 9 points 5 months ago

They usually get drunk at the closest one, they would have to go to the next state over
