This is some muther f⁕⚠︎ing crazy 💩.
Starting to seem a lot like #democracy end-days.
The #Senate on Thurs narrowly confirmed #KashPatel as the next director of the #FBI, installing a *hard-line* [batshit cray] critic of the bureau whose unwavering #loyalty to #Trump has raised questions over the #independence of the nation’s most powerful #law enforcement agency.

@Nonilex Which two Republicans voted ‘no’? None of the stories seem to mention that.
The 51-to-49 vote, with 2 #Republican defections, means that #KashPatel will now oversee the vast #surveillance & [have the] investigative powers of the #FBI, whose [at least before now] mission is seeking out the #truth even if it angers the president. As its director, Patel will be asked to protect the country from #terrorism, dangerous #criminals & #PoliticalCorruption, along w/the threats posed by global rivals like #China & #Russia [so, to protect the country from #Trump]
