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?”
Its not tin-foil hat, it’s Putin. Its always Putin, using Skum and HitlerPig as his muscle.
When will people truly internalize that the two biggest foreign Sociopathic Oligarchs, have partnered up with the most prolific traitor in American history? None of them have any loyalty or patriotism toward America, and only see us as a big, rich, fat, lazy target to be ruthlessly exploited and looted, and it’s happening in real time before our eyes.
All they care about is money, and either Putin is paying them directly out of the Russian Treasury (HitlerPig would rape and murder his own mother for far less than a billion bucks, and Putin could order a lot more than that), or they’ve cut a deal to split the booty like the pirates they are.
When it’s not working, it’s working.
It’s not Putin. Plenty of home grown idiocy in the US. At the most, the Trump admin is a loosely bribed bunch of useful idiots.
Of course it’s Putin, and denying it marks you as an unserious person.
America (amd the Democratic world) has been at war with Russia since 1918, whether you want to admit it or not. This was an unarguable fact by EVERYONE ON THE PLANET for the entire 20th century. It was only when HitlerPig came along with his close ties to Putin that it became a controversial opinion.
Grow up and get some Critical Thinking Skills.
Lib qanon.
Except that its all documented history. Just because its a conspiracy doesn’t mean it isn’t true. Plenty of conspiracies have been true, and Russia’s long-term targeting of America has long been documented. It’s not like it’s a secret.
Trump has had an ongoing relationship with Russia going back to the Soviet days. He’s a filthy traitor, and the Putin and Skum aren’t even American. The only people who are denying it are idiotic MAGA Nazi traitors.
I feel like, if this were true, wtf are literally all the other countries’ intelligence and agencies doing to prevent such a thing?
I’d like to think China, while mostly on Russia’s side, would not want Putin having control over the U.S.
ofc most of NATO wouldn’t want that either.
Is every other country incompetent, complicit, or is the U.S. just becoming its own oligarchy?
The US was warned about Russian influence before Trump’s 2016 election by intelligence agencies in Great Britain, Germany, Canada, France, Estonia, Poland, and Australia- and those are just the ones that spoke out publicly.
They were called “fake news” and “DNC operatives.”
Don’t pretend the rest of the world was surprised by this.
Well, I’m glad they spoke out publicly. Maybe they (World Governments) can put in a bit more elbow grease next time to prevent one of the world’s largest militaries from being bought by an authoritarian country at discount prices.
The CIA can destabilize governments across the world.
Russia can take over U.S. “Democracy” right in front of the world.
I guess nobody has inside men anymore. Does Germany, France, Britian not have a CIA of their own?
My point is that these World Governments have kinda gotten soft if this is where we’re at. Hell, the fact that Ukraine is still at war and not being physically backed is proof enough (though stepping in w/ Russia holding U.S. means that ship has sailed).
So… the fault lies with rest of the world who should have worked harder to save the US from itself while Americans plugged their ears and gave them the finger?
Just typical American exceptionalism.
Oh they’re exceptional, all right
I mean, the fault lies with everybody - as we’ve expressed, the writing was on the wall the whole time.
I don’t expect the ignorant children to prevent the adults from driving the car off the bridge (that’s a metaphor for most Americans).
Are you proposing more election interference…?
I mean…if it prevents a fascist takeover…
I think respecting another country’s sovereignty is better.
china is frenemies with russia, they are definitely not on thier side. China does have russia by the balls though, since they bought up some of siberia.
