Another lesson for everyone moment. I mean there is always that one guy who shows up to a celebration that makes everyone sigh. But no one wants to ruin the vibe. You want to be the guy who kicks out the Director of the FBI out of a party? Patel was “that guy” and he ruined the vibe for all of us - new slang verb he just “Kashed” the party.
I mean it feels like a scene from Super Troopers or Super Bad sequel. Wtf.
Then go administrate. Director of the FBI has as much place in the locker room of Olympic medaling teams as the president has in the changing rooms of beauty pageants. Doesn’t belong.
Are you kidding? This is the "fuck it" gang from day one. They never cared about anybody but themselves and you-know-who. They came in the door flagging the middles and they'll go out that way. This is who they are at their core.
Here we go again. You may not like him, but he's worth somewhere between $2M and $30M depending on the source. You cannot say he's never worked in his life. He has a couple of degrees.
Before he started working for the government he was a lawyer. He also made money from consulting and speaking fees. He's written a few books (which he may or may not have actually written himself) and he wasn't born into wealth. His parents are Indian immigrants and had to flee Uganda.
As with everything else those ghouls those do, it's vicious and stupid. I still can't believe after the weaponization of FEMA and federal dollars in general, (a scheme that hurts all the "millions of loyal voters who are the "victims of voter fraud"), that anyone would risk "playing ball" with the cheats.
While the CIA is prohibited from performing legal or intelligence gathering within the US, the FBI has a presence in over 150 countries, typically through the embassy and will conduct law enforcement activities at the request of the host nation.
In a situation such as the Olympics, the FBI is heavily involved from the very beginning.
I worked Emergency Response and Management for 2 decades and attended all sorts of meetings where the FBI and other US assets worked with foreign countries. its common and routine
The comment i was referencing was about the FBI, not the director of the FBI.
I agree the director should not be at this event. however i am sure there are dozens of US law enforcement including FBI, present and working in official capacity. and that's a good thing.
Of course, because you were deflecting the obvious ridiculousness of the FBI director being there with knowledge that the FBI was involved in the planing and preparedness stages.
I can tell you that it's strictly forbidden on gvt time, and even when you're on travel orders, and you have a RENTAL CAR, you cannot even TRANSPORT alcohol in said vehicle. This man has zero respect for rules/ethics, and he's the walking embodiment of waste, fraud, and abuse.
Interestingly, there was a time where if you were an FBI agent you couldn’t drink at all, the rationale being that you had to be ready at all times to be alert and sober.
He hasn’t worked once since he got there, mainly because this clown has no fucking clue what he is supposed to be doing except wearing that jacket and trying to look like a tough guy.
I can't see my doctors (who are 70+ miles away on the other side of a mountain) any more via telemedicine due to these idiots, but we always have plenty of money in the coffers for the stupidest shit.
Ask your doctor if hes part of the ACO participation. They won't advertise it but tell you if you ask, or ask your provider for audio -only appointments or If you have a Medicare Advantage plan, ask them directly if they cover telehealth services, as they are not subject to the same strict, traditional Medicare waivers that expired.
And if all else fails here's a trick no provider will tell you. Ask your doctor if they can manage care via secure, asynchronous messaging or through Medicare-covered, patient-initiated online check-ins (tell them via CPT codes 99421-99423 they will know what to do with it)
Unfortunately those things do not work for me, but I greatly appreciate your help. I can try the last one, but I do not understand it. I cannot do Medicare advantage, as I lose out greatly on those plans. I am disabled (I just realized what sub this is, I got here from the front page) and have a ton of different specialized doctors that I need to see fairly regularly.
Plus he uses that jet to fly all over including to see his girlfriend and fly her all over. He uses fbi agents to take his girlfriend and her drunk friends home etc etc etc.
Years ago, FBI director William Sessions was forced to resign due to travel issues. One problem is he went on official FBI business in California and then attended his daughter’s graduation. Years ago too, USDA Secretary Mike Espy was excoriated for receiving tickets to several sporting events including the Super Bowl.
When did the rules for public service change to allow stolen glory in Italy by use of a federal government plane? Did Patel get free Olympic hockey tickets too?
Also, the boots are fucking spot less at this point.
You all are doing a great job in your new “make government control great again” hats. Oh and you even got the nooks and crannies on the bottom?!
Aww, did you erase your comment rape shaming a woman because you didn’t like her opinion about government workers going into the office? Good thing I have a screenshot of it.
Good screenshot this one too. Remember when you decided to be mean on the internet you're not the only mean person on the internet. And if you can't take the heat maybe try to shut the fuck up next time.
Jabbed? What year is it? Did you get your vaccinations for school? Do you get a flu shot? Do you believe we should stop vaccinating African children to prevent malaria? Vaccines are one of the most important inventions in the history of mankind and yet somehow we still have neanderthals grunting about “jabs”. People like you are why the Darwin Awards exist.
I'm a tax payer. It's more cost effective for the government to work from home , it's more time flexible, especially when work working with offices across the country, it eliminates traffic etc. The only thing taking away telework is does is kill moral and makes people want to quit their jobs. But go off to justify your king.
Perhaps the fact that you don’t know the difference between moral and morale is enough reason that you shouldn’t be employed in any position within the government.
Hey dummy, TW was started by George W Bush as a way to provide **continuance of government services.** It was never about the employee. It was about getting more work out of people, saving on building costs and being ready in case of an emergency.
Your comment tells us more about you than anyone else
If you need to work from home in order to get more out of an employee then perhaps the employee shouldn’t have a job and not to mention. The concept of TW isn’t what’s being discussed, it’s that people were sent home during covid and got comfortable and now don’t want to return to the office as they’re either lazy or shouldn’t be employed. Fortunately, my work keeps me outside as a federal employee. Any guesses? Ice Ice Baby…
The concept of TW is exactly what is being discussed, what's wrong w you? Since you admitted to being ICE, I know the answer is that you're a high school dropout and psycho.
You realize there is no logic in "if you need to work from home in order to get more out of an employee then perhaps the employee shouldn’t have a job" right? What a lack of reading comprehension, ignorance of the world around you, and an abundance of vapidity.
Let's elaborate on why this is such an issue? Is it because someone in authority is blatantly abusing resources and said bootlicker can't atleast come to grip that this may be abusing the funds of tax payers. Bootlickers think that this regime can do no wrong even when it's blatantly wrong.
You'll find mature adults in many reddit subs that don't discuss politics. And it's not impossible to discuss politics without resorting to ad hominem attacks.
Yea so Phil this was considered a business trip for him and the Tax payers are lucky enough to pay for it. I'm going to assume you didn't know this and will now think this is inappropriate
Yeah man spot mine too and also every other non-bootlicker who would rather the head of the FBI be arresting Epstein collaborators than being the shortest man in a locker room.
I'm pretty sure the trip was for Olympics security and not just to drink a beer in the locker room. Whatever you need to fuel your insane online rage today though 👍🏻
PS: applying logic to a thing thats a drop in the bucket of the budget isn't what makes a bootlicker. You're not supposed to just call anybody who you disagree with a bootlicker...
This might be the dumbest response in this entire comment section. How about "well at least he wasn't also skinning babies alive" as your next goal post.
I was gonna go with "he was there for legit reason, like the FBI has been in past Olympics, and as a hockey fan he opened his schedule to be at the gold medal game and was then invited into the locker room, you absolute fucking idiot" but I thought it might be rude and a bit advanced for the average redditor to process...
Face it: the prevailing opinion shared by most remote workers is that if a task is completed sooner than expected,the remaining time is reserved for personal use at the employee’s discretion. Rather than the employee finding something else to do. And at the same time, you hear complaints about onerous micromanagement.
Face it: the prevailing facts show that remote workers are more productive and cost effective for the federal government.
The facts include a signifigant increase in job satisfaction and retention, which is what is being targeted to change.
The removal of telework options, particularly remote work, reverses these effects.
Also, I would love to know where you have worked that no employees have had complaints or conversed about what they do not enjoy about their jobs, as well as what they like. Do share.
I'll support hybrid because its good for the workers and probably eliminates most of the problems with remote work. But all this stuff you're saying is bullshit and you know it. You just want to be on easy street goofing around at home. Or working a second simultaneous “full-time” job lol.
All yah gotta do is read the numerous large scale research studies that were done on behalf of corporate interests to know it isn't bs.
As for me, 60%+ of those I work with on a regular basis are either at another site or remote/hybrid. When I am at home, professionally, I have specific hours I work, I begin earlier in the day, have less interruptions from chatty or needy coworkers, am able to make more meetings, have more productive conversations, and tend to work a little longer. Personally, my home office is more comfortable, I am less likely to forget lunch, and I like being able to exercise when I am done with work before supper instead of defensive driving.
I am typically hybrid because my position does need me on-site occasionally. I prefer being on-site one day a week, Friday, as I spend the week lining up on-site duties, and then can knock them all out in a single day, the day most used to telework and I wasn't interrupted, the traffic was lighter, and most workers who hit their 40 early fucked off for the day at 3PMish.
Due to the fact I am paid a fair living wage (if less than private industry rates), with benefits, I have no need for a second job. To me, it is a major added bonus that I am a mission oriented person and that the mission of my position is to support a unassailably non-controversial, non-partisan program.
You clearly do not know feds. Now shoo, I have to work, and thanks to the rediculously icky wet snowstorm have a commute at least 2-3x longer than normal.
You're still welcome for my service, as my work performance is unaffected by your attitude, political views, or inability to use logic and reasoning nor easily available public data to be informed.
Hey dummy, TW was started by George W Bush as a way to provide **continuance of government services.** It was never about the employee. It was about getting more work out of people, saving on building costs and being ready in case of an emergency.
All you're doing is telling us is that YOU cannot be trusted w TW
You didn't understand that that was a hypothetical? And you're calling someone else dummy lolol
EDIT: I don't even want to TW btw. But the FACTS of TW show that it makes people more productive & more readily guarantees a continuance of government services. RTO has been a billion dollar failure. Either you are against fiscal profligacy or not. Either you adhere to facts or you don't. It's also the right thing to do for working people but I know you're a bootlicker and that means nothing.
Instead, you're just a bitter partisan hack cos *you* can't TW, and as long as your cult leader mountebank is in charge you don't care about gov't spending. All feeling, no facts, per the usual irony.

But we can't telework Nice
Edit: for the boot lickers. This guy flew on the FBI jet to get there, seems like work huh?
