The bombshell report by The New York Post alleged that sources within the FBI had called Patel “in over his head” and his deputy, Dan Bongino, “something of a clown.”
“Patel apparently did not have his own FBI raid jacket with him and refused to step from the plane without wearing one,” the report, citing a highly respected agent, read.
FBI agents who were working on Kirk’s case “had to stop and ask around to find an FBI raid jacket — a medium-sized one — that would fit,” and eventually Patel was given a jacket belonging to a female agent.
However, according to the report, the FBI director complained that “two areas on the upper sleeves did not have Velcro patches attached” and refused to leave the plane until those areas were patched, prompting agents to remove their own to loan to him.
Spreading lies muddies the water. If they prove that some of what’s said about them is bullshit, then it invites questioning the veracity of the actual problems that we haven’t made up. Oversaturation of information along with some unknown amount of lies makes people say fuck it, idk what to believe, and then they tune out.
BS. Spreading lies simply shows we don’t respect them. Look how “JD Vance fucked a couch” story spread. Did any one question actual problems with JD because of that? Come on. It’s not a debate club. You have exactly 0 people being on the face right now thinking “gee, I don’t know what to think about Patel anymore. On one hand he’s clearly incompetent but on the other some rumors about him were not verified”. Just the fact that the rumors are there must piss them off and that’s beautiful.
Also, people that tuned out will pay attention again when they can’t afford food or are sent to a concentration camp by ICE. This is how you change their mind. Not by sharing facts with them.
Difference there being everyone knows that’s a mockery and not genuinely intended to be true.
For the ‘allegedly true’ stuff that is actually realistic and realistically knowable but is on dubious grounds in actual facts, that can backfire without much upside.
Did any of the shit the right spreads ever backfire? Did “Hilary has a penis” backfire? Did pizzagate backfire? Did “Obama was born in Keyna” backfire? But yeah, if you say something untrue about Patel it will… what? Make some democrats switch sides?
The truth doesn’t matter any more. Making fun of those people is the only way you can get to them right now. If you prefer to sit this one out that’s fine.
That’s exactly how it works when the Nazis flood social media with nonsense. You just hav e to prove one thing wrong, that destroys their credibility forever and no one ever repeats what they say again.
Nazis don’t believe in their own bullshit. They just like having excuses. But normal, everyday people who aren’t paying much attention will see us spread bullshit and say “gee, I guess both sides really are the same” and decide to not get involved. The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.
Hammer the facts.
