57. Overgrown 12-year-old Kash Patel announces RIDICULOUS new plan to have UFC fighters train FBI agents!

This is a stupid stunt




FBI Director Kash Patel just announced the most unserious, clown-show "training" program in law enforcement history: a two-day "historic seminar" with the UFC at the FBI Academy in Quantico on March 15-16.

Agents and senior staff from around the world will now learn "fighting techniques and tactics" from Dana White's professional cage fighters to supposedly "better protect the American people."....

This comes right after Patel shamed himself by crashing the U.S. Men's Olympic hockey team's gold-medal locker room celebration in Italy.

Now he's turning the FBI's elite training facility into a mixed-martial-arts boot camp while the country deals with the consequences of Trump’s already disastrous war with Iran.
The UFC calls it part of the FBI's push for "exciting, innovative training options" to "revamp and improve" preparation.

Excuse me, what the hell does the UFC know about the serious work the FBI is supposed to be doing?

This is beyond unserious; it's just embarrassing. The FBI Director treating Quantico like a UFC tryout gym makes Patel and Trump look like complete idiots who think protecting America means learning how to throw elbows instead of doing actual police work.

While families bury their dead and the economy suffers, the administration is playing fight club with pro wrestlers.
