During a Senate hearing to review the FBI’s FY2026 budget request, Director Kash Patel was forced to admit that, despite the law requiring it, he had no such request ready to review.
This surprising development came during an awkward back-and-forth with Senator Patty Murray (D-WA), the ranking Democrat and Vice Chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee, which oversees and approves budget requests.
Senator Murray reminded the FBI Director that the budget request was legally required “last week,” and after the director responded, she surprisedly added, “And your answer is you just understand you’re not going to follow the law?”
People need to drop the “they’re incompetent” shtick if they beat you every time. Because if you get beat by people you think are incompetent, what does that make you?
It implies nothing because it is not competence that is evaluated here.
Republicans beat Democrats because:
#1 A sizeable core of the American demographic cannot tell the difference between their elbow and a chair (too stupid) and are fearful of their own shadow
#2 The alternative, the Democrats, are almost as incompetent as the Republicans making the distinction moot.
The side that isn’t willing to shoot up schools
You can be great at one thing and an idiot at everything else.
