Atlantic writer sued by Kash Patel says she’s been ‘inundated’ with new sources

He knows all that. He was a lawyer. He also knows how the bullshit civil courts work in the US and how Americans think suing someone means you are validated.

The later is not absolute evidence for the former. There are lawyers who are also morons. Well known example: Rudy Giuliani. I sincerely believe that Patel may not understand the hole he's dug for himself.

His misconduct is an asset to his bosses. This kind of administration doesn't hire people who don't already have a good reason to be fired. Yes-men have to be easy to fire and they have to know it. Otherwise they start thinking for themselves.
Right? I can't believe how easily we all get suckered into the latest shiny object. This is just another distraction to keep us looking the other way. Another example of flooding the zone. Meanwhile, on polymarket ...

He could've ignored the news and not sued anyone and it probably would've blown over in a few days. He's streisanding himself and hopefully he gets counter sued for damages and then gets fired
The Streisand Effect is very rarely understood by the kind of emotional infants Trump prefers to surround himself with.

Cause racism is OK when it's people we don't like?
Yeah. I thought that when reading "rumdog millionaire" too.
Hardly adds to the veracity of the linked article.

Literally nothing about this joke is denigrating southeast Asians, it's just a pun-infused pop culture reference. You need to understand what racism is before you start lobbing it as an accusation...
it's just a pun-infused pop culture reference
Pejoratively, and based on his race. I suppose you'd argue it's fine to call a Japanese man "Mr Miyagi", or African American man "Kunta Kinte"?
This is the same shit racist, conservative bigots do, and it's not OK just because it's aimed at them this time.

It's not a personal issue, he's the head of the FBI and the suit is against how he's
runningruining it.An excellent example of why you should vote Democratic for the next few years. Clear out these idiots.
I thought the suit was him suing a reporter for writing a story about him?

Name calling has become so normalized in politics. It's seriously depressing.

But does he know about cocaine and ethanol? Me thinks not.

Kash is not using HIS money, that's OUR hard earned money he's wasting.
Where is DOGE when you need them???
Working for the pedophiles like they always have.

You're wrong. There is zero indication of judgement of Indian people. You're just white knighting and it's annoying to everyone else.

Rumdog Millionaire is about to FA and FO even more.
Like the US men's hockey team?

There is a player, I believe wearing a blue shirt (top left), who appeared unimpressed with the Keystone Cop and the way he guzzles down beer. What a complete waste of good beer that is going to be pissed out by a fucking clown.

Lol, "annoying". Good. Most people don't like their racism called out. Those with actual merit can manage to self reflect, though. Whining about how the calling out makes you feel bad is pretty much the opposite of that.

Using a racially-based pop-culture reference to make fun of someone seems pretty in line with racism to me. Just because it’s making fun of someone we don’t like seems little reason to discount it as racism.
This is like when someone put a statue of Trump with a micro penis in some park in New York. People loved it, but if someone had done the same thing to Hillary, there would be uproar. I hate Trump, but making fun of his body is no better when it’s him than it is when it’s someone else.

I'm out of the loop. What is the reference?

I think the divide on this issue has a lot of parallels with the paradox of tolerance.
In the eyes of many, punching down and crossing lines of social/human decency is permissible when dealing with high-profile professional peddlers of punching down and crossing lines of social/human decency.
I'm not exactly arguing in favor of it or trying to convince you, but I think that's the angle when you're dealing with a crowd that has contempt for the person but not for actual racial reasons.

Yes, him running the FBI while drunk.
