he had displayed an improper “political” message in the workplace during his assignment in California under President Joe Biden
The gay pride flag was displayed during his assignment in California under President Joe Biden? That is completely ridiculous. Thought crime is one thing, but retroactive thought crime is delusion.
Freedom of speech‽ The goddamn FBI isn't a private entity
There are no rights beyond what the administration allows. If they choose to remove your fredom of speech, who's going to stop them? SCOTUS?
US?
Thought crimes are very often retroactive.
During Soviet times figures drifted in and out of favour. An old joke:
Three men are sitting in a jail cell. "How did you end up here?" asks one the other. "I criticized Karl Radek," he says. "No way!" replies the first man. "I got here for supporting Karl Radek!"
They turn over to the third guy in the corner and ask him why he got there. He sighs heavily and answers: "I'm Karl Radek."
Well, I mean, the moment you start thinking of the United States of America as being like the good ole' Soviet Union, you know something is wrong.
I already started adapting my old joke repertoire!
Two federal agents are patrolling Washington DC. After a period of silence, one asks the other what he thinks of the current leadership.
After pondering what to answer for a bit, the second guy answers. "Same as you," he says.
"Well, in that case I'm afraid I must arrest you."
Have you seen Kash Patel pictures, does that look like a sane and not-on cocaine person to you
I wonder if he'd have fired someone with a confederate flag or MAGA one?
We all know the answer to that.
Sadly, I think we do
Why would you honestly wonder that?
There is zero chance they would, that’s fucking obvious so why “wonder” it? Do you for a second believe Patel would do that? Do you think anyone in the administration would? No? Of course not. Stop this stupid take where you pretend everything is normal and the rules apply.
I'm not a yank
Something I'm eternally grateful for
I'm lucky enough to live in a civilised country
For now, lol. When the house of cards falls, there's a lot more out there that will follow suit
0% chance
I reckon you're right
only nazi symbolism alllwed
what I find amusing is doesn't this Patel guy not realize that once he's fulfilled his use to this regime he'll be lined up against the wall with everyone else that isn't white? or is he banking on the fact he'll be labelled as "one of the good ones"
This art style uncomfortably reminds me of that nazi who's named after hard gray things
Dude history class was boring. "Good one" status is binding don't you know that? /s
Anything to hurt innocent people and make them feel less than human.
It must be difficult to be so stupid and live day to day like that. I can only imagine the stress Kash gets when the stoplight turns yellow and it doesn't know if he needs to shoot it, stop it, or fire the people who made it turn yellow.
Yeah doesn’t he know you’re supposed to be an anti gay activist and then spend all of your free time secretly on Grindr?
They’re so screwed when PinkAntifa gets going. No-one to go undercover.
Oh, I bet they would find plenty of agents who would take the opportunity to infiltrate that group of young, physically fit gay men. For Justice, of course....
Doesn't brown boi realize he is next?
In the presence of hierarchy, there will always be those in the underclasses who will betray anyone to secure their place as "first of the least". It is why white women vote republican in such large numbers. It is why so many among the working class clamor to defend billionaires. 'Notice me, senpai' as ideology.
They defend billionaires because they have this insane forlorn fantasy that they could just suddenly have to care about the capitol gains tax.
The capital gains tax is hilarious. I wish some public figure would put out a public service announcement where they explain it "Bruh, if you buy $100 worth of stock, and then you sell it for $200, then you get to keep $185 (netting $85 in profit). If you think this is a problem, you are either a demon or a moron."
