This guy is going to be nominated to head the FBI.

“We will go out and find the conspirators, not just in government but in the media. Yes, we’re going to come after the people in the media who lied about American citizens, who helped Joe Biden rig presidential elections – we’re going to come after you,” Patel said on a podcast hosted by another former Trump adviser, Steve Bannon.

“Whether it’s criminally or civilly, we’ll figure that out. But yeah, we’re putting you all on notice,” Patel added. “We’re actually going to use the Constitution to prosecute them for crimes they said we have always been guilty of but never have.”

It’s worth noting that Patel is extreme as people loyal to Trump go — he seems interested in doing Trumps’ bidding, rather than what’s required by law or what’s right.

    Yeah democracy isn’t gonna survive this chief. At least not for the 4 years he is in. We might be able to recover afterwards but thats a stretch as disinformation will only get worse. Sucks.

        Maybe democrats should have been less Republican if they didnt want to get shit on. You can be progressive in America. You have to.

            A progressive will win. Especially an unapologetic one. Mark my words. We can keep spiraling down the right pipeline or we can try something that will actually work. People are fed up. You get a progressive that offers change to the working class and you’ll win. But go ahead and downvote me because I know I’m right.

          I’m betting on Adams doing a quid pro quo and lift NYC’s sanctuary city status if trump tells the DoJ to drop charges against Adams.

          I knew Adams was a crook when I heard that he was a former cop. Not even surprised.

              Because we have a piece of shit, billionaire supporting, neoliberal party and a bat shit insane far right fascist party as our only “viable” choices in any election. It’s no surprise the majority of one party are a bunch of garbage people and the entirety of the other are raging assholes.

              “Democracy” in America is a fucking joke.
