Kash Patel is a UFC fanboy.

Just like everyone else on the admin payroll, he is just using the position as his personal entertainment budget and holiday fund

Next he'll pay George Lucas to come visit him to "advise on Star Wars defence systems" while he gets his collectibles signed.

It's fucking wild that right after attacking the largest support of global terrorism, they're holding this event at the WH and you know security will be a shitshow.

I'll be shocked if it's not attacked

All we need is one Secret Service agent or Marine guard with a conscience and nothing to lose.

…and how about the soccer world cqp this Summer?

I'm kind of hoping the rest of the world wakes up and realizes that sending teams to the US to compete right now us just as bad as sending teams to Russia. The world should boycott it, and let the US claim its trophy after the Saudis field the only other team.

and the cherry on top would be FIFA losing their pants on this WC after boot licking the rapist pedophile so hard

right after attacking the largest support of global terrorism

We shot ourselves? Surely that was by accident.

Don't give me hope bro I'm a recovering optimist.

[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

It ain't hope, it's the most likely result.

I'm pretty good at risk assessment, and the clown show trump has running the FBI can only "stop" the attacks they plan like they guy on the terrorist list they let in just so they could have a CI frame him for an assanaition plot

Largest supporter? I would have thought that was Saudi. Most of the groups US were fighting or dealing with originated from strict Sunni groups. Iran was working against many of those groups.

If you want anyone to give you the benefit of the doubt that you're authentically asking questions, you really need to switch off one of the largest troll instances.

I don't know. Lemmy world is right up there. I try to ignore the instance and treat people in good faith. It's a shame others don't.

Originally, I started on this instance after .world was unusable and down most days. I assumed if anyone could maintain an instance, it's the devs who created it. Ml has been pretty reliable. My other account on lemm.ee died. The one on shit.just.works don't work with jerboa if you want infinite scroll to work...

You could check my account and see I moderate 2 big communities. Usually trolls don't do that. Mods invest energy to build stuff, trolls suck energy out of stuff with low energy contributions.

That's already happened. Ronald Reagan was a big fan of SciFi and created a think tank of SciFi authors to advise him on potential threats of the future.

Lol, amazing. I shouldn't be surprised
