This is the face of MAGA, and it has an enemies list. Their motto: Treueflicht Uber Alles!. Two of Trump's loyal minions nominated for high positions have already failed under an avalanche of negative and salacious press stories*. Patel should no doubt be the third. He publicly stated he wants to shut down the FBI's domestic intelligence operation and the agency's DC headquarters, which he would "turn into a museum of the deep state". The 'Merican electorate will soon find out what happens when you put radical lunatics from hell in charge of federal government. But perhaps they are too busy paying their rent to care.
*Pete Hegseth has been exposed, prior to any formal background check, as a drunken, serial sex abuser. He is also the subject of a credible allegation of rape by a California woman. He paid money to the accuser in 2017 to obtain a NDA. He is alleged to have mismanaged finances when he served at the head of two veterans' organizations that forced him to step down. Hegseth now says he is "redeemed", and not the same person he was when the incidents occurred. He is Trump's choice to head the largest bureaucracy in the world, the US Department of Defense. When Hegseth appeared on Fox Fake News in March 2016, he said,“It's typical Trump. All bluster. Very little substance, He talks a tough game, but then when pressed on it, he's an armchair tough guy". Which proves debased sycophants like Hegseth will say anything to gain power.
