On the plus side, there’s never been a better time for Americans to start a career in organised crime.

Um no, the ship is being ruddered just right by his totally-organic and authentic girlfriend.

You mean that the wee little penguin-stance man with the face of a haunted doll and the personality of a Furby owned by a drunk middle schooler wasn't the best choice?

what do you mean some random podcaster with zero experience cant run one of the worlds largest law enforcement agencies?

whats next, a business man becoming president and trying to run the government like a business is also a terrible idea?!

A fake TV businessman who made his money from daddy and money laundering for the Russian mob, who's also a pedophile rapist and 34-times convicted felon? Of course such a person couldn't do the job of POTUS. The very idea is absurd.

Someone should make a version of that Charlie Kirk site where you use a slider to change his head size.

But with Kash’s eyes.

The head of the FBI, or any other Federal intelligence agency, should NEVER be an appointed position. Only qualified candidates should be hired to run these agencies. Politics needs to be reigned in so the trashing of the country can't occur. 249 years and this has never been fixed. What a bloody joke.

What's the difference between appointing somebody and hiring somebody? Isn't it virtually the same thing?

[-] Zier@fedia.io 1 points 5 hours ago

The president chose who he wanted & it was rubber stamp approved. Having an individual work their way up in the Agency to finally be promoted to the head is different, and they don't change every 4 years. Whiskey Pete was a fox newz reader, un-qualified for this job.

[-] njm1314@lemmy.world 1 points 17 minutes ago

No that wasn't my question. I understand the difference between a qualified and unqualified candidate. What am I asking is what's the difference between hiring and appointing? Who's doing the promoting? And how is that any different than being appointed?

[-] breadsmasher@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

I get you, but I can also see it being both?

THEORY an appointed position but part of the confirmation is actually verifying their credentials

[-] ArachnidMania@lemmy.ca 18 points 23 hours ago

Isn't that was the senate approval is supposed to be?

US has never been this vulnerable to a terror attack. good luck.

Who needs to when it's eating itself from the inside?

"Never interrupt your enemy when they are making a mistake"

I thought his job was to use the FBI to harass political opponents, gather blackmail info for sale to donors, destroy evidence of regime corruption, sell out cooperating witnesses to criminal orgs, and fake evidence for clout. Also waste resources on unofficial activities on the side.

[-] UnspecificGravity@infosec.pub 15 points 1 day ago

I mean, that's all in the wheelhouse of normal FBI operations under any administration, but it seems that this dude is especially bad at managing this regardless of their willingness to be tools or corruption.

“Come on Kash, let’s take a picture to show them you’re doing a great job!’” Leavitt wrote, attaching a photo of the pair smiling and giving a thumbs up.

The fact that they think a photo of them smiling shows they're doing a great job, tells you everything you need to know about their competence.

[-] SlartyBartFast@sh.itjust.works 9 points 21 hours ago

this has been known for a year

He doesn't just look like he's incapable, he really is!

[-] ThePantser@sh.itjust.works 19 points 1 day ago

Hey the look of terror is just his natural resting dumb face.

[-] floofloof@lemmy.ca 29 points 1 day ago

I don't know what you mean. The man exudes confidence and competence.

[-] jaybone@lemmy.zip 6 points 22 hours ago

I can’t tell if that last one is an animated gif or not.

[-] crumpted@sopuli.xyz 21 points 1 day ago

If we're going to have Trump toadies anyways, I prefer the incompetent ones.

Point is, I'm a big fan of Kash Money.
