    They are at the stage where like Trump, they just aren’t being held to any standard that would be expected of others.

    I adore the meme that Patel’s FBI fabricated those texts between the alleged Kirk shooter and his partner. Just the fact that they’ve done such a poor job gaining public trust that a bunch of people watching the story ended up like “Okay, I wouldn’t have thought the FBI would fabricate evidence like this before, but Kash Patel has utterly convinced me that they fabricated these texts. Look how conveniently they answer every single outstanding question for the investigation and sound like they were written by a 40 year old federal agent and not a college kid from Utah.”

    It’s objectively fucking hilarious. Especially if the texts are actually real.

      Oh my god I hadn’t read them before but those are 100% faked wtf. The only time I’ve seen a zoomer talk like that is when they’re mocking or imitating older people.

        Yeah no they’re fucking wild. Oh yeah let me just text my partner telling them the location of a note that I totally made admitting to doing it but that I planned on never telling anyone. A letter mind you that was apparently destroyed but not before taking a picture of for fucking posterity I guess? Oh and remember how I was engraving bullets the other day? That thing that you were presumably there for if I’m asking you if you remember.

          Wut?? Do you have a link? I searched but only coming up with a fox new video seems unrelated. Must be behind the curve on this story I haven’t seen these texts but that sounds fucking hilarious.

              Jesus Christ is this for real? It’s like the AI video they released after Kirk got shot. I’m not normally a big conspiracy person but something is fucking weird here.

                Right? I’m not a big conspiracy person either. But my Gods between the Epstein stuff, the live tweeting this investigation, and how hard they’ve pushed the left wing violence narrative it’s so hard to look at those messages and not think something is fishy.

                It feels so much like that time the Russians tried to brag about catching some Ukrainian terrorist and stage a photo with all the evidence they seized including 3 random copies of The Sims. Or that time the IDF tried to claim they found this pristine copy of Mein Kampf in a child’s bedroom they bombed. They’ve done so much lying that any info that’s convenient for them I have a hard time believing isn’t a lie.

                The guy absolutely could just have been “Like That” and overshared. I’ve definitely known people like that. But with everything that’s happened I just can’t help but feel like it’s suspicious that the texts just so conveniently happen to just perfectly answer all these questions the administration has in just the perfect way.

      It’s comical how stupid they think people are, and reprehensible how some people are dumb enough to gobble it up

    I don’t want to burst anyone’s bubble about the otherwise obvious validity of these messages, but it’s curious that James Comey has his wife in his contacts as James Comey. Everything else looks totally authentic though, and James Comey is clearly in some hot water.

      They’re both trans, he just is a bit of a dick and left her dead name as the contact. She was once James Comey and he was once Jane Comey, but after marriage they both transitioned. I’d be curious to see if she changed his dead name as well.

    See what happens when you have a podcaster in charge of an important position? We get clickbait for news. 😂
