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?”
Fascists are inefficient.
He’s probably waiting for orders on how to do it, like everyone waiting for Hitler to wake up before countering the Normandy invasion.
And when Hitler woke up his first order was for breakfast and he chilled a bit before finally having his meeting. He misread the situation so fucking bad it is a miracle that even the enlisted men guarding him didn’t scream at his face.
BTW. The Allies took into account Hitler’s sleeping habits when timing their invasion. No joke.
I want to say he even habitually hanged/demoted/sent people who woke him to the Eastern Front.
President Xi, I am sending you Trump’s golf schedule by way of TikTok coded message.
Please, President Pooh-Bear, you’re our only hope.
He probably also fired the people who know how to make the budget in the first place.
