This entire corrupt administration from the top down is a stool built on three legs:

1. Selling access to billionaires and foreign nations.

2. Prosecuting political enemies.

3. Grabbing as much taxpayer money as possible to enrich themselves.

"Trump is "very proud of the work the FBI is doing under Director Patel's leadership,"

Of course he is. Patel wasn't hired to be the FBI Director. Much like Pam Bondi, he was hired to answer the booty call every time Trump wants to screw the pooch, so to speak.

It's what's called narcissistic rage.

Donald got his fee-fees hurt. and so he feels compelled to ruin lives.

The piece goes into some detail with what turns out to be a weird, sad, depressing, hilarious, pathetic, and just plain weird tale of lost souls. To which I say: effem, one and all.
