Every time I think thing can’t get worse, the appointees can’t get worse, Trump says ‘hold my beer.’I am stunned, even by Trump standards, that Dan Bongino, a man even Fox got rid of, is now the new deputy director of the FBI. We are so effed.

We’re cooked!Dan Bongino, Kash Patel & Pam Bondi running ‘justice’ is like putting arsonists in charge of the fire department.Bongino’s a racist conspiracy hack, Patel’s a Trump flunky and a conspiracy hack, and Bondi sold out Florida for a check. This isn’t law & order—it’s a MAGA police state.

Every country in the world… expect Russia, China and North Korea… see the US as an adversary with Trump and MAGA in power.We are a violent idiocracy.Dan Bongino as deputy director of the FBI… we are a global joke.

I think the clearest thing you can say about Dan Bongino is that he makes Kash Patel look moderately well qualified.

Bongino and Kash Patel are cranks who are likely to abuse their powers as FBI directors. J Edgar Hoover would be proud.

Trump’s appointment tonight of podcast ranting fascist Dan Bongino as deputy director of the FBI is near Gaetz-level ugly.

BREAKING: Dan Bongino was just selected as Deputy FBI Director.Legitimately the worst possible pick. Feeling awful for the hardworking men and women of that agency.

Apart from the many disqualifying features of Patel & Bongino, there is no indication either has any ability to run the FBI. Neither has *any* leadership experience at *any* level of *anything*, much less leadership experience relevant to the largest law enforcement agency in the U.S.

Dan Bongino named Deputy Director of the FBI — and that wraps up the rule of law.

Donald Trump just named far-right MAGA podcaster Dan Bongino, a notorious conspiracy theorist who promoted the lie that the 2020 election was “stolen,” to serve as Deputy Director of the FBI.We’re so screwed

I don’t know, Dan Bongino as FBI Deputy Director is pretty horrible, but it is going to be hilarious when him and Kash Patel eventually start trying to destroy each other.

Trump truly doesn’t understand the world outside of the TV does he

This is now the leadership team for the FBIKash Patel and Dan Bongino. Two absolute potatoes. The dumbest of dumb potatoes. Bongino is of course the smaller potato. What a shitstorm we are in. #DemVoice1
