MURRAY: It was due last week. By law. PATEL: I understand. MURRAY: You're not gonna follow the law? ... And you have no timeline? PATEL: No MURRAY: Hmm. We're not having a budget hearing without a budget request. So where is it?

Patel reports to the convicted felon! Murray is not very bright? Budget? Patel must be saying to himself, bs baffles brain. Follow the law, question of the day? Fascist government does not follow law, and that is why thousands ended up in EL Salvador prison without due process.

Patel cries to trump. trump cries to media. The team starts talking points: congress works for the president, he is in charge. Mike Johnson/Republicans introduce a bill.

I think Aaron has it right. Patel said "no" right after the no timeline comment. That followed, but not immediately, the "following the law" comment, but that's what the string of periods indicates.

If he’s admittedly not following the law, and there is no enforcement, is it even a law? Seems ridiculous to call something a law if it’s not enforced. Or are we living under the “rule of suggestions”.

This looks less like a kid who didn't do his homework, and more like Patel trying to assert dominance over Murray or any other Senator. It looks like his intention is to operate without an approved budget, and give the legislature the finger.

If this were some sort of freaky Friday situation and I woke up and was suddenly the FBI Director (and was incompetent and in way over my head,) I would simply ask somebody for last year‘s budget, change a few things and turn that in. Doesn’t that make sense?

You gotta take into account your boss' desire to tear everything down for no good reason. So you just gotta cross off anything that isn't about punching downward on your own citizens and you'll be golden.

They want to crash it all in the hopes of eliminating it. It could work. The gerrymandering the R's have done since the 90's, they have insulated themselves from political opposition. Given the asymmetry in news and propaganda, penetrating those areas is difficult. Have to hit the streets!

When this republic is replaced by a seething shithole of a fake Christian dicktatorship, someone should drag John Robert’s out of his comfortable mansion and express their displeasure forcefully

If anyone belongs in CECOT prison it's this arrogant 💩. He thinks he's a Big Deal. But in real prison he'd soon be everyone's plaything.

The media isn't asking the right questions about the FBI budget crisis... bsky.app/profile/that...

That's the Fact, Jack!@thatsthefactjack.bsky.social

IT’S NOT INCOMPETENCE — IT’S SABOTAGE FBI Director Kash Patel, Trump’s right-hand man for dismantling the intelligence community, failed to submit a national security budget to Congress, which is a violation of law. That’s not neglect. That’s premeditated sabotage. 🧵(1/9)👇

He's a useless maga fool, but worse is that Congress just says okay, so when do we get it, six months? Hold him in contempt until he gets them. They will ignore, side step, and lie, waiting for it to just go away. And it's being allowed. Freaking nerve-shattering.

Is this the guy who's living in Las Vegas and gallivanting around the hills sharing selfies? He has no clue what's required of him and no skills to handle the job.

I wish these pieces of shit would just shut up and do their malevolence without all the fucking attitude—all this 8th grade prevaricating, whining, name calling, and ass kissing from the whole cabinet, lord

This is all a regime farce. Literally everything they do is a farce. With plowing ahead with theft or decisions- bypassing laws and procedures- or ignoring laws when handed down. It’s arrogance and blowing smoke to pretend they are legitimate while in actuality dismantling every check and balance.

No one heading up our agencies has any idea how their administrative tasks actually get done. Doing the work is completely foreign to them. Budgets, work orders, contracts, nope. Cosplaying and screaming, "LOOK AT ME, I'M THE COOLEST", yep. From the orange dingleberry on down, this is it.

In almost any other job in the world, if you were told "you must do this by X date, it is required by law" and you just shrugged your shoulders and refused to even say when it might be done, you would be fired immediately and possibly see charges filed against you.

That is the problem. In any non-government job he would have been told to leave & not let the door hit him in the ass. This is what should happen with this shameful display. He probably wants them freeze his budget so he can dissolve the FBI. Just get his ass out. We r paying him to go bar hopping.

Hegseth: Yeah I used signal- and kept on using it RFK Jr: Praised Texas Doctor with active case of measles for continuing to work, treating children, exposing them, their families their communities to measles Noem: Wears $60K Rolex watch for photo op in El Salvador death prison WORST CABINET EVER

This is stunningly horrible. In any other decade this alone would be front page news and shocking. Now it is just SOP. This is the law...I know...so?...I am following the law...so yo have it...no...but. Damn this guy is not qualified to work in the mailroom at a very small company.

When the US Govt. is return to qualified & competent individuals who are serious about their positions & responsibilities, we must demand that congress pass new legislation that provides remedies to remove & prosecute staff that do not obey the law or keep their oath to uphold the constitution.
