      You can always tell how bad an alcoholic someone is by how strenuously they object to being called one. $250 million means I reckon he drinks his breakfast.

      this asshole needs help, a lawsuit will not get him that and cause more stress and more drinking

      Kash what is he trying to hide? Reminds me of Liberace sueing a news paper for say he was gay

      And I’m sure he’ll use that $250M to pay back the taxpayer money he he spent taking a jet to the Olympics, right?

      …right?

      I still wanted Canada to win. If that were the case, this wouldn’t be happening.

      He’d just simply be pitiful if his crippling insecurities didn’t make him so dangerous.

      Lmao…it’s an open secret in DC that he drinks on par with Kegsbreath. This isn’t a new thing, either. The man loves slacking on the job, drinking, then grovelling just enough to his bosses that he doesn’t get fired. Rinse/repeat.

      This last passage from the *Atlantic* article is perhaps the most disturbing.

      >He (Patel) recently expressed frustration with the look of FBI merchandise, complaining that it isn’t intimidating enough. Officials have grown accustomed to such behavior, and they have learned to roll their eyes at it. But they said that the absurdity masks real concerns about what Patel’s leadership has meant for an institution that the country relies on for national security and the safety of its citizens. “Part of me is glad he’s wasting his time on bullshit, because it’s less dangerous for rule of law, for the American public,” one official told me, “but it also means we don’t have a real functioning FBI director.”

      Isn’t it extremely difficult to win a defamation case, especially as a public figure?

      No way Kash doesn’t get fired now. Trump is not going to let this ever get to discovery.

      Concerning that this man went to law school and still thought this would be a good idea.

      I guess I’m giving more credit to a dude who was chosen by Trump to hide Trump’s crimes, be a token for the administration, and distract the public from real criminal issues.

      I hope The Atlantic calls his bluff and sees this through…though I imagine they’ll have a ton of threats and pressure from this corrupt government.

      Personally I’d find it incredibly pathetic to wear a medal for something I had no hand in winning.

      That image may be it. there are federal regulations on drinking on the job or using federal funds for alcohol.

      This dude really thinks he can pull the same tricks as Trump and get away with it. As much as I fucking loathe him, Trump has been Teflon his entire life.

      More than likely he is just screaming loudly into the void to evade the inevitable guillotine coming from the White House.
