    lol...really odd for the director of the FBI to be shown acting like a drunk idiot
    Did I see pictures of him in the locker room? If so ughh what away to bring down a celebration with an asshole like him someone from the team should of kicked him out fuck him 
    yeah they even put a medal on him...
    That’s why I can’t stand today’s athletes they just toe the political correctness and fuck all the MAGA athletes 
    the women's hockey team declined trump's invite to the state of the union tomorrow.

    my bet is he did not offer them an official white house visit, so this was the best he could offer. i would have said no too.

    Would anyone here want their wife or daughter to attend, if you have a wife or daughter? Particularly after the way CCOOTWH made the leering, creepy “and we have to invite the women’s team too” wink-wink, nod-nod comment on speaker phone while the men were celebrating in the locker room, almost as an afterthought so the men would have something to leer at?

    Fucking embarrassing.

    that video of patel drinking that beer and wearing a gold medal was beyond cringe.

    imagine any other prior head of the fbi doing something like that. what a disgrace.
    I am not sure I really understand the hate here.  I mean, I do not like the guy, but he was invited in and had a good time with the team, which is what they were looking for...I mean should someone in those roles never drink?  Never act silly and have fun?  

    Just seems weird to be upset about.

    On its face, yeah who wouldn't.

    But also, its a bad look. You run the FBI man. The most you should probably be seen out is at dinner. You run a whole federal agency. have some sort of decorum.

    On a deeper dive, you just had the to-do about taking a federal private jet JUST to see your girlfriend perform the national anthem at a sporting event and then it coming out that you did it before for a dinner date.

    And going EVEN deeper, your head comms guy tweeted at a reporter calling him and his network a hack and saying that he wasn't in the locker room (NBC's Ken Delanian, its on Twitter) in spite of a video and then having more videos dropping. 

    also, he's partying like he scored the winning goal. just chill out, you didn't do shit dude. 

    So while in the grand scheme of things this is nothing and its just something to talk about. its still a bad look and unprofessional and another notch in how toxic this admin is.

    Maybe our FBI Director should be spending his time ensuring Russia, Russia, Russia isn’t meddling in our elections or protecting our nations most classified documents and information from falling into unfriendly hands? Or maybe taking the lead in finding Savannah Guthrie’s mother? Maybe watch the game on TV like the rest of us? But you know, priorities (pssssst, what are they hiding?).

    Judge Aileen Cannon bars the release of special counsel report on Trump’s handling of classified documents

    Special counsel Jack Smith’s final report on Donald Trump’s alleged mishandling of classified records and obstruction of justice at Mar-a-Lago after his first term will not be released, a Trump-appointed judge in Florida ruled Monday.

    The decision by US District Judge Aileen Cannon, who threw out the case Smith brought against the president before he was re-elected, is a major win in Trump’s efforts to keep the special counsel’s findings forever hidden from public view.

    Smith had turned over his final, two-volume report to then-Attorney General Merrick Garland before he left his post in early 2025. The first part of the report, which detailed Trump’s alleged efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election, was released before Trump returned to the White House. But a legal fight waged by Trump and his co-defendants in the case kept the second part of that report under seal.

    Cannon said in her 15-page ruling that “it is certainly not customary” for a prosecutor whose case was thrown out to later be allowed to “publicly disseminate large swaths of discovery generated in the case.”

    “The Court strains to find a situation in which a former special counsel has released a report after initiating criminal charges that did not result in a finding of guilt, at least not in a situation like this one, where the defendants contested the charges from the outset and still proclaim their innocence,” she wrote.

    Cannon, who concluded in 2024 that Smith was unlawfully serving as special counsel, went on to chide him for even writing the report in the first place, saying it violated her earlier decisions putting an end to the work of his office on the classified documents matter.

    “The Court need not countenance this brazen stratagem or effectively perpetuate the Special Counsel’s breach of this Court’s own order,” she wrote.

    Cannon declined a request from two of Trump’s former co-defendants in the case to order the report to be destroyed.

    Trump’s personal attorney, Kendra Wharton, said in a statement that Cannon was right to “permanently prohibit the release of Volume II of Jack Smith’s illegal report,” adding that “all fruit of Smith’s poisonous tree should be treated accordingly and should never see the light of day.”

    Transparency around Smith’s final report on the South Florida federal case against Trump and two of his employees, called Volume II, is still being tested in appeals brought by public transparency groups.

    One of those groups, American Oversight, said Cannon’s latest ruling “continues a troubling pattern of decisions that shield the president from public scrutiny and place secrecy above the public’s right to know.”

    “American taxpayers funded this investigation, and they have a right to know what their government uncovered, particularly on matters of national security,” Chioma Chukwu, the group’s executive director, said in a statement.

    exactly. he is in there wearing a medal and pounding beers like he did something. didn't do a damn thing. something about stolen valor or something.

    didn't do a damn thing and he had no chill. no decorum, no professionalism. went there on our dime for what?

    what is the exact reason he was even there?

    honestly at this point i do not see a democrat in any position of power acting like that. and if they did they deserve to get roasted.

    the dems are the adults in the room right now and are the only line of defense we have left. they cannot call for reigning in trump while acting like patel did.

    I don't know man. You're allowed to act silly and have fun, but when you get to a certain level, would you ever have expected to see ANY government or justice department official acting like that? It's normal as a fan, but when you get to a certain level, you just don't partake. That's just part of the deal. It's like the president of my company acting like a dork at the christmas party. Not a good look. Brings down the status of the agency he's supposed to be leading. 
    Your boos mean nothing to me, for I have seen what makes you cheer

    agreed. it is like watching one of the surgeons i call on acting like that. at some point you have to learn that you are not just a regular guy/fan and there is a duty to maintain a level of professionalism. most of them are concerned about their reputations though so i do not have to worry so much about them acting like that in public.

    the lack of self awareness in nearly every member of this administration is just staggering.

    i am surprised there is no "secretary of social media" cabinet position that is there solely to pump out this sort of content for noem, patel, and hegseth.

    also, i forgot to tell cincy in my reply that that post was not hate from me. it is honest criticism from a citizen. i can be critical of anybody without it being out of hate. though i do hate every one of those assholes.

    i love this for him. as an ambassador, why would you not show up after being summoned on multiple occasions?

    does this mean trump has to replace him, or are we are not on diplomatic terms with france now?

    I don't know man. You're allowed to act silly and have fun, but when you get to a certain level, would you ever have expected to see ANY government or justice department official acting like that?

Not a good look. Brings down the status of the agency he's supposed to be leading. 
    Agreed...horrible look. Being in the locker room and clapping/high fiving and saying how great of a game it was is fine. Chugging brewskis when you are the head of the fucking FBI?

    No...really bad

    Plus he did it on the taxpayer dime and his staff lied about it and chastised a reporter who asked a legitimate question about his trip.
