Excellent points. Being head of the FBI means you're responsible for lots of mundane administrative tasks. It'sca shame that good ol' Kash thought it was just playing thugs and political rivals ( as opposed to cops and robbers.)

Right!

And they're all like that. Kristi Noem used to be an executive, Governor of North Dakota. She could call the shots and didn't really have to answer to anyone but the voters and the voters of North Dakota would vote for a box of cornflakes if it had an R stamped on it, so she could run around, shooting her dogs and whatever else she was doing and no one said boo.

Now she's just another government functionary. She's got a boss. She has to manage a budget. She gets hauled in front of committees and has to answer questions. Her staff lets her down. They make her look foolish in public, same as Kash Patel.

Congress needs to make those jobs a lot less fun for them. It's not all cosplay. It's not all getting all tarted up and posing in front of a bunch of prisoners. The job involves actual work. Congress needs to shine a light on the fact that she -- and the rest of them -- aren't doing it.
