This has been something of a mystery.

We've heard about Tulsi Gabbard in the past 48 hours - things are certainly looking up for her nomination. It might actually all be over, and we could have a DNI by the end of the day for all the mud-slinging and wrangling they did to try to stop it.

The Senate voted 52-46 to invoke cloture last night, and senators are on the clock voting.

Bernie Sanders, snek in the grass that he is, has voted against her.

There's some history there that bears repeating if only to reaffirm what a disgusting, self-interested, ethics-free, back-stabbing POS Sanders is.

Just 8 years ago Tulsi Gabbard recorded this endorsement video for Bernie Sanders — resigning her position as Vice Chair to do so.

...@TulsiGabbard was blacklisted, faced countless disgusting smears from Hillary Clinton, her party, and the media, attempting to discredit her military service. Bernie Sanders voted against advancing Tulsi’s nomination for DNI today. The only thing that has changed is that today she has an R next to her name. 

@SenSanders is disloyal trash.

Sen Markwayne Mullin says they have the votes to carry her confirmation and get to a Kash Patel vote on Thursday.

🚨 TONIGHT: we will confirm @TulsiGabbard as your Director of National Intelligence. Then, we'll immediately move to put Bobby on the clock and confirm him on Thurs. @Kash_Patel will get a @SenJudiciaryGOP vote on Thurs. As promised, I'll keep you updated best I can.

Finally, his name comes up! What's been going on with this ever-so-critical nomination?

I mean, certain parties have been going out of their way to smear Patel as often and as loudly as they can, trying to sink the nomination before it gets to a vote.

Adam Schiff is throwing a tantrum about Kash Patel, RFK Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard.

“Where is the line?”

“Is it confirming a patently unqualified FBI director who wants to close down FBI headquarters and makes music with felons.”

“Is it a director of HHS who doesn't believe in… pic.twitter.com/ETEfEjnZaZ

Is Slimy Schifty just mad that he got pwned by Patel during the confirmation hearings?

ADAM SCHIFF: When you said 'we' you didn't really mean 'you?' Is that your testimony?

KASH PATEL: Not unless you have a new definition for the word 'we.'pic.twitter.com/1zQco73vlU

Or is it something deeper. Something that schmaybe has to do with a pardon the scummy congressman accepted from xPOTATUS and now the consequences have him squirming with Patel as potential FBI director.

Because Patel happens to be one of those rare guys who knows where the bodies are buried before he gets to the office. Lyin', slimy Schiff is s**tin' bricks at the thought because he drove the car, opened the trunk and always had plastic bags and duct tape ready for new bodies when his masters needed them disposed of.

This is why Adam Schiff is pissing his pants over the Kash Patel confirmation. pic.twitter.com/e2xOLjF8OS

No doubt there is a long line of weak-kneed co-conspirators behind Schiff worried to death.

There's also a long, long line of Americans who cannot wait for an FBI director to be seated who works FOR them and this country, not against them for a faceless cabal of authoritarian globalists. Rumors of more FBI malfeasance (see John's deep dive here) only make Patel's confirmation more important than ever to get to work straightening that snek pit out once and for all - purging the last remnants of the Deep State operatives and Obama acolytes.

🚨 The FBI is literally LEAKING info on upcoming ICE raids to violent gangs, and the Senate is STILL slow walking Kash Patel’s confirmation

This puts ICE agents’ lives in HUGE danger, and allows gang members to flee.

Another reason we NEED KASH NOW.

With fire if necessary.

There are many ringing endorsements coming in for Patel's nomination. This one just dropped and it's good.

NEW: “On behalf of the more than 377,000 members of the Fraternal Order of Police, @Kash_Patel has our full support and confidence to be the next Director of the FBI.” pic.twitter.com/kAq6iSJhy2

In a last minute effort to torpedo Patel's nomination, a 'whistleblower' is whining to Congress that Patel has been 'working behind the scenes' to begin the purge of rotten-to-the-core FBI agents even before he's confirmed.

Like...this is a bad thing?

READ THE ROOM, BUDDY

We, literally, voted for this and @TheDemocrats are freaking out. https://t.co/RKl8OK599Y

X is also aflame with rumors that Patel will release the Epstein files.

It's an absolute SPAZZ ATTACK in an effort not to confirm this guy.

Another day another attack against Kash Patel by the Democrats These latest allegations r nothing more than hearsay & dont hold a candle to Patel's character+ credibility which over half a million law enforcement officers hv vouched for

He has to be the best thing to lead the bureau since sliced bread, right?

I don't see a problem here.

LFG!
