I'd rather the guy in charge of the potential secret police was a corrupt incompetent than a competent ideologue, but it's still very very bad.
It's hard to overstate what a disaster Kash Patel is. See the many disturbing details here, from @vermontgmg.bsky.social, an expert on the FBI.

Now the Christian Zionists at Heritage are furious (they can't afford for Nazis to wipe out the Jews, they need the Jews to spark the apocalypse).
