Remember how people were leaving in droves from his rallies? Remember how he said, “you’ll never have to vote again. It will all be fixed”? Remember how he acknowledged that the 2024 election was rigged, on camera on multiple occasions? I do.

'Big fat liar': MAGA throws fire at Trump official over Guthrie case

dlvr.it'Big fat liar': MAGA throws fire at Trump official over Guthrie caseThe right-wing manosphere and its conservative influencers have long served as the yapping chorus for the Trump administration — so much so that President Donald Trump elevated two of it’s more vocal members to positions in the FBI. But Salon reports former Fox News regular, grievance podcaster and now FBI head Kash Patel has been drawing rancor from the right-wing media ecosystem that once elevated him, “mocking his missteps and … openly calling him a liar.” Now the FBI’s investigation into Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance is drawing new fire. The 84-year-old mother of “Today” show anchor Savannah Guthrie was reported missing on Feb. 1, but while prior administrations have traditionally remained tight-lipped on details until they had solid results Patel was quick to report on Fox News’ “Hannity” that the FBI was investigating “persons of interest” and had made “substantial progress.” Hours later, authorities detained innocent delivery driver Carlos Palazuelos at a Tucson traffic stop before releasing him without charges. “I felt like I was being kidnapped, bro,” Palazuelos told reporters. Nearly two weeks since Guthrie’s apparent abduction, law enforcement still hasn’t apprehended a suspect, and Salon reports the MAGA world is boiling with frustration. “The conservative One America News Network aired a debunked report on Friday claiming the Pima County Sheriff’s Department had refused to cooperate with Patel’s FBI,” Salon reports. “Candace Owens, who called for Patel to ‘step down’ after revelations that he was using his legal team to support lawsuits filed by his girlfriend, suggested the director was complicating the Guthrie investigation.” “Goes without saying that there is something wrong with the Savannah Guthrie story,” Owens posted on X. “The issue is it’s Arizona which is a political cartel. And Kash Patel is racing over there to play hero.” Salon reports it does not help that Patel frequently barks at premature leads. “In September, mere hours after Charlie Kirk was killed, Patel prematurely announced a suspect had been apprehended — only to have to backtrack when authorities had taken the wrong man into custody. He repeated the mistake in December, touting how the FBI had detained a person of interest in the shooting at Brown University who was later cleared of any connection to the deadly crime,” Salon said. Additionally, Patel’s handling of the Epstein files (long a rallying cry for MAGA influencers hoping to trap Democrats in the Epstein sphere) has proven Patel’s “ultimate undoing with the MAGA base,” reports Salon. Patel’s earlier claim to Congress that the FBI has “no credible information” on Epstein trafficking kids to anyone beyond himself is more and more undermined by the steady drip of new information from the Epstein files. “Everyone in the world now knows that there was 100 percent a human trafficking operation where Jeffrey Epstein was procuring girls for wealthy and powerful people. Everybody knows that,” said conservative podcast host Tim Dillon, while torching Patel as a “big fat liar” and demanding he resign. That takedown drew praise from manosphere leader Joe Rogan, who both promoted and voted for Trump. “Over the past year, right-wing media had been learning a hard lesson: that the institutions it spent years attacking don’t magically become infallible when they are run by loyalists,” reports Salon. “Some MAGA influencers are realizing — far too late — that competence does, in fact, matter.”

MAGA needs understand we don't want to harm ICE. With thousands of federal agents here, if we wanted to harm, we'd do it away from cameras. In the dead of the night, *poof* gone. We exercise our 2A rights 24/7 here. Millions of people. Minnesotans can't be cowed & are showing great restaint.

I am sorry to say this...but I don't give a damn about "injuries to ICE officers". These morons signed up for this, knowing they would be mauling American citizens and residents. WTF did they expect?

Psssst. If you're going to your local comic shop for new comic book day and you're bringing a kid or have a kid at home, might I suggest picking up a comic for them, maybe even a copy of DC's MISFITS OF MAGIC that just came out and I'm really proud of? #NCBD

SIGNAL GATE is a threat! The incompetence that many of us knew existed prior to the confirmation of these individuals is on full display for the WORLD & it’s weakening US, collectively. The fact that there is an obsession over wanting me silenced tells me that I need to speak out more. 🫶🏾

Everyone realizes they’re trying to shift the Overton Window, right? They’re conditioning you to be accepting of the insane shit they’re doing now so you’ll accept the more insane shit they do later.

They’re testing. It wasn’t a “glitch” that turned off Medicaid portals. They’re seeing which things they can delete without a fight. Vets benefits? Abuse shelters? Aid to children? Cancer research? They don’t care who gets hurt. Just what they can get away with. Keep. Fighting. Back.

Pin this, save it, we’ll need it. “When a prison camp opens in your town…when a DREAMer is disappeared from your classroom…when the President destroys what’s left of the Constitution…They will all say they didn’t know this was coming. And I want the American people to know that they did.” AOC 🔥🎯

As a farmer, we were “this” close to disaster aid being approved before our shadow president Elon said scrap it. As a farmer I expected fellow farmers to react reasonably to this. But no. It’s all dems fault. Because they said so.
