J Edgar Hoover is spinning in his grave. We all hoped he’d be the craziest MF to ever be FBI director 😐

These are very sad days

Someone needs to start a collaborative Wiki page tracking all of the traitors taking part in this coup. Whether actively or passively. Let’s hold every single one of them accountable!

This is potentially the creation of a Gestapo, an investigation/surveillance organization with the authority to use deadly force against the regime’s perceived enemies, and with authority to access all government and business data on the target: read their emails, …

… track their cellphone location in realtime, access their bank account transactions, confiscate bank funds, and many other dystopian actions. They will report only to the king, and will be immune from any oversight.

Considering he wrote a children’s book about trump being the king, I would say this is literally what it is.

Love his crazy-eyed look!

What could go wrong?

Agree.

Drug addled eyes say all you need to know.

Shark jump trump.

Unbelievable

Agreed. Nail in the coffin and all that.

Weak MAGA

America - WAKE UP! This is the Russian playbook unfolding before our eyes.

We ended on Nov 5th, 2024. No, we ended when his prosecutions did not happen the second he left office the first time.

Just a gut punch and it tells you there is no low that the GOP senate won’t go for Trump. Today the senate unleashed the dogs of hell on democracy.

Yup

The fall of Rome, this time with wifi.

Putting the fox in charge of the hen house is always a good idea.

😭

To every person who voted for him and put their fear of trump or being primaried above their country and it's constitution: your weakness and bind following a fascist leadership will be remembered. You will all be held accountable.

🤢🤮🤢

The end of our society is here.

The end of what?

Idiocracy full speed.

It just KEEPS GETTING WORSE EVERY DAMN DAY!😱

It's got to get worse before it gets better...we are just about there. Hold tight.

Ho-ly-fuck.

What in the hell?

The American Gestapo was born today.

End of what? He can investigate all he wants. The people he’s after have committed no crimes. Federal prosecutors can go to court and lose and look like the idiots they are.

The GOP has just given EVERY American a big OL' FU ....we want power, not what is best for the country.

I think I speak for everyone when I say hopefully someone Luigi's him the moment they get the chance.

This is far and away the least qualified executive branch in history

Now we must make plans to get rid of them all. I think we need help from our allies abroad. #Resist #DoNotComply

Unfortunately you've no allies abroad, it's up to the good people of the USA to sort this mess out, how you do it is another thing.

Allies, where? Russia, China

Lol you don't have any allies abroad anymore. Nobody is coming to save you.

Oh, there’s still folks in the intelligence community who are working on solving this problem.

I cannot believe they are not watching, planning, waiting

There are many quiet allies that know that 2/3rds of America did NOT want the felon47 & his band of mendacious minions. They know if we fall so will they.

Just thinking this. I'm sure there are plenty of underground discussions on how to dissolve this problem.

I hope you're right. I'm not holding out much hope.

Oui c'est foutu. Nous on va devoir gérer Poutine sur le terrain déjà...

Europe and the free world will help. America will beat this menace

Canada still wants America to turn it around to sanity.

This solidified Trumps “you’ll never have to vote again” comment. Our entire Government has been taken over by his loyalists. He won’t leave *willingly* in four years. This is the end.

It’s over. They win

It’s not the end. It’s the beginning. Fascism was defeated before it will be defeated again. But only if Americans come together in direct action. Here are some things that you can do to keep the despair away: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

That is defeatist. You are indulging your desire to be oracular and grandiose by making the Trumpist's work easier. Might ask yourself if this is a worthy response to the crisis.

They are waiting to be able to take advantage of a contrived pretext... Then the gloves come off

He will do all of Trump's biddings we are fucked

Over his shoulder... See the guy over his right side, looking very worried... You should be too

oh, hell no.

Yes death star completed

Terrifying

We need to make them fear us more than the orange 💩 stain.

The glasses aren't helping Kash...you still look like a pathetic, ass-kissing worm who writes Trump fanfic for children.

I agree. All the Republicans will go down in history as traitors.

And they think trump cares about them. HAHAHAHA

He only cares about DJT. Everybody else is expendable

He will self destruct, after doing a great deal of damage.

I fear that you are correct. There is no recovering from this disgrace, outside of a full on revolution / Civil War.

So the Coup is complete, democracy gone? Isn't this what the 2nd amendment was to protect from?

Not when half the country, are morons and cult followers

They will turn on him.

He already said he will get rid of them all and turn the FBI into a museum.

A new “Blue Scare” and “Patelism” is now in the works

Maybe the next civil war BUT not the end for sure 💯

Just when I thought we couldn’t possibly get anymore fucked

Not a spine to be seen.

🌀✨ y e s ✨🌀

Again, I thought we were not supposed to like people like this. Now he is in charge of the FBI? When will the magats spot the hypocrisy in this administration?

Somehow we reached a point where a FBI Director having a political enemies list and a commitment to pursue it, isn't a disqualifying event. We are in deep trouble.

Some will be leaving the country. Or should.

When a Country is being a RAN by a CRIMINAL REGIME the BIGGER CRIMINAL they are the MORE they LIKE them! It's never been MORE EVIDENT of that then RIGHT NOW!😡

Well we spent 4 years looking at dic pics of Hunter Biden and the Laptop from the black lagoon. So this should be good. I am so glad Joe pardoned him.

You think a pardon will stop them? I have some oceanfront property in Nevada to sell you.

Yeah but doesn’t cover treason and I believe they will start charging people with treason and sedition. They have Kash now and that’s his plan!

The only reason you got to see all that is the GOP focused on ridiculous distractions like that rather than actually doing their jobs for their constituents

The ridiculous distractions are their job. They're there to make government fail. It's all they do.

You salivated over those pics..

Didn’t he also plead the fifth and perjure himself during his confirmation?

Yes

Yup

Bad choice....just bad.

US is now officially a rogue state

Here’s a reminder that there is less than 1M law enforcement & less than 3M military members in our country. Even if all of them & all of MAGA united we’d all still outnumber them. Our voices & our wallets are more powerful than there’s. Find your connections, build, & back your local communities.

Respect to that

I like the way you think 💭 💙

Thanks. Knowledge is powerful & the more we have the better we are at helping others understand that our voices are so much stronger than they'll ever know.

I can’t tell you how much better you just made me feel this is like a gold mine. God bless you.

Most welcome. Would you mind spreading the word on where people can find places to get involved and if you know of others that needed to added to the growing list of connections let me know? docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

What is fascinating is in the old days there was a group of ops that had all the dirt that is so terrible they can destroy a person they don't want in. Every single T nom got in. Does that mean the counter dirt was just as bad or worse? 🤔 Is there no leak on what these threats are?

When you crime you give away your power and can be Bmailed. Who would or could you sacrifice for country? Maybe all except your kids? The threats must be something we can't even imagine

How is this brown skinned man not a DEI??? Or does that apply to ⬇️ these guys

A Himmler wrapped in a Hoover

Kash Patel will make them look like sane and reasonable men by comparison.

Trump now has his official Sniper. This regime must be resisted and defeated.

Yep

We need to be careful about what we say on social media. Also, a VPN would be advisable

This is truthfully terrifying.

Spinless asshole shitbags!!!!

And the nicest thing anyone could say😐

Indeed! And thank you for making me laugh! Too little laughter these days, right?

Attention “Team Kamala Harris” and “Dems Win” and every other Act Blue site I’ve had to “Reply Stop” to this week alone. Kash Patel was just confirmed. There is a coup on. FIGHT THE COUP!!! FIGHT THE COUP!!! FIGHT THE COUP!!! I have stopped wondering what is wrong with the Democrats...

Agree..as Ive sadly said before this was the last nail in the coffin of democracy

It’s time for blue states to align and succeed. All maga voters like the ones I’m surrounded by in SW IL can choose to join red state MO, which is just a hop, skip and a jump away. Hawley & Schmidt can be your senators. @gavinnewsom.bsky.social @govpritzker.illinois.gov

Things are not looking good. It's time to break out the enemies list. What's next for them?

I believe Trump and the Republicans in Congress are determined to destroy America.

Well, this should do it.

Yep

What's going to make you sure? Trump making Putin the head of the FBI..

Republicans are complicit and an enemy of the people - this isn’t possible without them

Since day one... since day one of his first term. I had to go back and delete, I called it his first Administration. It's not an Administration, it's a hit squad.

Also, nobody in this photo looks happy about his confirmation but Patel himself Even the cowards that voted for him hate his guts

Right now body

🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕 U Kash Patel

WTF? HOW? He's going to give terrorists an open invitation. I really can't understand how this is even possible. Dictator chump is getting everything he wants just handed to him on a silver platter. This can't be happening

He’ll go to jail someday. Mark my words on that one.

And it will be for the rest of his miserable life.

I agree. He will flame out or his own agents will shut him out.

Jail is too good for the Trump regime. We need to bring back oubliettes.

Well, that depends on how quickly we go full Gilead

Definitely the craziest of the crazy Trumpian mistakes. Makes RFK JR. look sane, and the rest of the unqualied litterbox look reasonable.

Republican traitors, one and all

Not a chance this is the end

We are lost 😔

Conspiracy Bingers are running the show. youtu.be/TEsWgiAyoOE

Absolutely. Year 0 begins now.

Anybody ready to get in these streets yet? Should we just wait for our entire economy to implode and our personal finances to go into a death spiral? Is anyone filing taxes? Will we get our refunds? I thought everybody voted on the economy.

Every member of the senate that voted for this guy must be voted out if we are not able to impeach them now.

This is our McCready?

ALL PEOPLE HAD TO DO WAS VOTE FOR KAMALA!!!

Nope, sorry, too hard. 🙄

Seriously, I knew from 2016 how sexist this country was when Trump was chosen over Hillary, but had hoped people had learned their lesson, evolved even to choose the best person for the job. Nope. Still sexist.

We are now further than ever from having a female president. It is beyond dismaying.

Genuinely curious how Trump’s white nationalist base feel about this. Seems like they just got cucked.

Idiots for confirming him.

Disgusting

🤢🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮

Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck America has just gone down the shitter. America is now open to terrorists have never felt less secure than right now.

Republicans invited America's destruction from within. Our enemies around the world are cheering.

You've got more enemies around the world than you had last week, just when you need your homeland security to be stronger because of all the enemies Trump has made he makes it weaker, if I were an American I'd be extremely worried about an attack on US soil.

Those enemies are our friends now. Now our enemies are peaceful freedom loving democracy countries. I know it's confusing but please try to keep up. 🙂

Yup

Him n ed Martin can go jump in a ditch

GOP is now full on nazi

Now?

Yes. Last piece of the puzzle was FBI director. Now the head of the national police is Himmler

It's been obvious for many many years. Y'all got told time and time again.

www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

“We have never had a director who is this blatantly there to serve partisan ends,” Beverly Gage, history professor who wrote a book about FBI director J. Edgar Hoover. “It’s just really striking to see someone take charge of it who has openly said he holds it in contempt and wants to tear it down.”

But…but…DT wanted to end birthright citizenship!! 🙄

Take down the FBI sign Put up the Gestapo sign

I hope someone on the inside will start documenting Patel’s crimes today.

So democrats now you know that the republicans do not care how you feel or how much proof you have of wrong doing ! They are doing what Trump wants ! No bipartisan period!

Are you not a Democrat?

Vomit! He is the human form of vomit!

Is it racist? Is it a joke? Is it a racist joke? Asking for a friend.

The FBI is over as we know it!

I hope the career professionals don’t make it easy for, I’m sure there will be resignations, as we’ve seen in the Justice Department, maybe some foot dragging.

Oh, great. Another dangerously underqualified individual placed into a position of power that he'll very obviously abuse. I feel safer already 🙄.

I’ve moved my own personal goal posts so many times. Too many. This may really be it.

What a shit show. #fucktrump

This truly might be the end of the experiment 😭

248 years later……BOOM!

Are Americans about to rush the border into Mexico 🤔

stuck.

Again, there's only one way to stop this and save your country. You must organise and revolt.

The Patel confirmation signifies the complete and total capitulation of the GOP to king trump. They will no longer be able to stop him without risking their own lives to his cult members and they will only risk ours.

They have kowtowed themselves into the corner of irrelevance, danger, and historical infamy.

FUCK Patel. FUCK Trump. FUCK Musk.

I’m buying a gun

Better do it before the FBI puts you on a list.

It’s interesting that the 2nd amendment crew might be right about the way to solve a tyrannical take over 🤔

No, Trump jumping the shark yesterday and trying to side the US with Russia is the real end… for him. His already sliding poll numbers are going to take a real hit after stabbing an ally in the back. Impeachment and removal is now not too far off.

The US has finally achieved the coveted Shit Hole Country designation.

Our very own police state.

NO! NOT, "the real end"! Here's things Every Decent American CAN DO: - Register To Vote! - VOTE in EVERY Election You Can! NO MORE NOT VOTING! - Dispute-In Public-ALL #Trump and #MAGA Lies! - Contribute What You Can, To Legal Fights! - Hold Your Reps Accountable! 🇺🇸 🗽

My hatred is now (almost) entirely for Congressional Republicans. Trump is the worst, but I also think he’s not even sane. The GOP are the ones voting for & enabling Trump’s insanity. I hope they live in shame and regret forever for betraying their country.

Yeah not sure how to sugarcoat it any longer. Democrats will be arrested and imprisoned in the coming months, causing the rest to go silent and stop all resistance. Not really sure what that leaves for the country. Not really sure how we have an election next year.

It’s over folks. It’s done. They did it. They win.

As long as we live and breathe, it’s not the end.

an Indian white supremacist nazi? how weird.

But the caste system is no doubt part of his thinking.

No caste system. He is plain nuts. Even the Indians don’t claim him and we claim anyone of Indian descent no matter how many times removed. He may be the tipping point for many desis to re-consider the accept everyone philosophy 😳🤦‍♀️

The first FBI Director to be ended by "friendly fire".

I am sure there are some career agents out there that will not like taking orders from a traitorous puke like him. I bet his days are numbered.

him and Pig Hogsbreath.

Needed that clip. I played tennis in high school and my doubles partner always used to hit me with friendly fire. Ah, memories…☺️ Ok, back to watching the world blow up.

Things are going to get really bad, aren’t they?

End of what?

Colossal mistake. He is going to make J. Edgar Hoover look like a saint

This was my thought. Is it possible that we survive this AND it is so bad it helps bring down the regime? Just spitballing...

You know it’s scary for a lot of Republicans because now if you do the slightest little thing against Trump Patel will come after you. I suspect there’s gonna be big censorship going on I mean, look at musk already figured that reporter should go to prison, but he can lie, spread propaganda

Can people not stand up and do petitions to recall some of the senators and Congress people?

No, how would Republicans feel if Democrats did what exactly what they’re doing if it was going to be a Democrat that had a revenge list if it was a Democrat that just hired billionaires if it was a Democrat, let some computer analyst go and touch all the computers and fire people.

WTAF!!😳

Putin's got his key to the castle now. After Donald gave him the goods at Mar-a-Lago, Putin's been waiting for the passwords. And now the access is his and he'll use it to bring our democracy down, while Donald scoops up the payoffs. It's sickening.

I hope the rank and file work around management to get their work done.

FUCK GOP

Talk about weaponized DOJ. Trump railed for years that Biden had done this when it was just projection of what he has wanted to do. He has succeeded, he didn’t get there in his first time, but he has now. It won’t take long before the enemies list appears.

It was over when Merrick Garland was appointed. We just didn't know it at the time.

Totally agree.

Garland is a federalist! Leonard Leo is a federalist... who pushed for the scotus we have now!!

BS.

Oh wow, I didn't know there were any Garland defenders left.

Right

Nah !

Yup,game over. America the beautiful just became Russia2.0

I just cannot believe the entire Republican Party aka MAGA are the nations most extreme fucking cowards. Fuck Thune that fucking traitor

This guy is as batshit nuts crazy as they come. I can’t believe Republicans are this cowardly and spineless.

He isn't crazy. He's a careerist pig who utilizes sycophancy to pursue his political ambitions. He knows exactly what he's doing repeating the batshit crazy party line and that's what makes him extremely dangerous. Insatiable ambition and complete lack of moral restraint

And also a brown person full of self-loathing projecting all that hatred outward onto others because he can’t stand to look at himself in the mirror.

Bug-eyed moron. Does he get to carry a firearm now? How long until he shoots himself - literally?

Every single one of the people he’s put on there will do exactly what he say. This guy will go after all the political enemies and investigate everybody that Trump hates and then the guy Kennedy says he’ll do whatever Trump wants about abortion.

New head of the trump SS squad...

Every time I think they can’t sink any lower…

Big time

So screwed🙄

Every FVCKING RED STATE who voted for the GOP, ROT IN HELL you DESERVE this 💩!

To think @therickwilson.bsky.social used to joke and laugh about this happening during the campaign 🫣🫣 At the time, you would have been taken away in a straight jacket if you had seriously suggested it might come to pass.

I read some of project 2025 and it's chilling

I’m pretty sure @therickwilson.bsky.social wasn’t entirely joking. He’s among the few clear-eyed who saw this for what it truly could become.

I agree entirely. He saw it all laid out if trump prevailed. As always, he was trying to inject some humour into what were dark scenarios. He and molly jong fast used to also joke about ending up in gitmo 😬😬😬

Regarding ‘joking’, if you’ve not seen it yet you might want to read this thread: bsky.app/profile/prof...

It's crass stupidity and likely to ruin many, many lives. Sad.

Patel is head of the black shirts. MAGAs are the no longer needed brown shirts.

And now , give full power of trump and nazi plan is over return to germany 1933

#Fact

The DUI hire that embarrassed himself on the global stage (and possibly drinking at the podium) was the beginning of the end 😤

The republicans in the senate voted for Patel because they are most of them are cowards and some want this kind of government why? I don’t know.

Not for me. It goes down as the beginning of the REAL fight. I hope you're with me.

Satan’s pawn…I really feel bad for his children.

Satan's got nothing to do with. They're just bad people who deserve meet an even worse end.

I respectfully disagree with you. Bad is way too mild of a word. It goes way beyond “bad”.

America you're fucked!

I’m sorry, wasn’t JD just lecturing our former allies about freedom of speech?

Sounds like a little office sabotage is on order. If there was a deep state before...there sure as hell is going to be a fighting mad deep state now

Fuck

🤪🤪🤪What a joke the Republican Party are🤬🤬🤬🤬

Thank you to all of the Dem members for voting "no." You MUST continue this for every vote...that, and fighting in the courts after your votes are overcome by the traitorous former GOP are your only tools...delay, obstruct, and fight.

Thanks to the 2 GOP that voted no. Screw Mitch for voting yes as he heads off into a cushy retirement.

Republicans always know how many votes they need. Dog and pony show.

They only voted no when they were sure the repubs had enough votes to confirm Patel

Exactly! ALL the Republicans knew how many votes were needed. First with #MoscowMitch who already cast his no votes to try & save something of a legacy & today it was the other two hoping not piss off too many of their constituents & jeopardize their seats. They all bowed to the felon.

I am certain those 2 who voted no would have voted yes if their votes were needed to get him confirmed. They are members of the Three-Card Monte Party.

He’s not leaving until 2026

I realize that. I wonder what other damage he can perpetrate while he is still there.

The GOP has destroyed Democracy by their craven cowardice

A scam artist and someone paid by a propagandist running the FBI. What could go wrong?

I wish I could be shocked anymore.

That's about the worse thing that I have seen ooh second worst...

Yep. That was my feel too.

Now we are the shithole country.

“Now?”

Since 2016.

Reading list: The Worst and Dimmest by David Halberstam would vomit Profiles In Cowardice (and Corruption) by John F. Kennedy rolling over in his grave

The US and its people are under Russian attack by proxy: the TrumPutin regime!

Bye bye America!

There's an Indian stand-up comedian (can't recall his name) hilariously said regarding 'Indian people love live love their Patels EXCEPT this one. They hate this fucking guy's😊

It would be a good time to find the movie Missing with Sissy Spacek and Jack Lemon. It's about a coup in S America and the ex-pats who get swept up in it

The game is afoot

The fbi deserves this moron

The Finale.

I think that will be when the senate inevitably drops the filibuster for whatever dumbshit thing Trump wants. From then on out there is no way they can ever let dems back in power.

Scary as hell.

Howdy Doody would have been a better pick.
