I’m sure Democrats spend money internally on consultants and studies and polls, but it feel like they are rarely and randomly stumbling into good messaging and strategies.

Where are you getting that Patel was there for intl. drug gang investigation

New Zealand ministers who met Patel, the highest-ranking Trump administration official to visit New Zealand, quietly dismissed his claims.

A government statement on Thursday emphasised joint efforts against crimes such as online child exploitation and drug smuggling, with no mention of China.

“When we were talking, we never raised that issue,” Foreign Minister Winston said Thursday.

Patel said what he said because he is a fucking moron. If Patel lied, he is a moron for creating diplomatic problems for an ally. if Patel didn’t lie, he just brought a whole lot of unnecessary attention to a spy base in NZ.

Get a load of this guy. He still listens to music. 😏

The FBI is who you call when you want to investigate (and prosecute) international gangs/drug cartels (which is why he was there in the first place)

The CIA is who you call when you want a country’s leader shot with a shard of frozen pufferfish poison.

Ah yes. Talent programs.
