Umm, FBI director Kash Patel's final words to Charlie Kirk at a press conference today were“Rest now, brother. We have the watch, and I’ll see you in Valhalla.”
WTAF?
The "we have the watch" bit is from a military recruitment ad. Neither Patel nor Kirk served in the military.
Valhalla is where souls go to after death in Norse mythology, which depicts it as a celebratory hall for slain warriors and noble political leaders under the god Odin.
Again, neither man was a soldier or a political leader.
Besides, Kirk was said to be a devout Christian, so it's unlikely he'd be thrilled with being reunited with Patel in a heathen afterlife.
These people at nuts.

It was a white supremacist dog whistle.

Which is weird, because Kashyap Pramod Patel isn’t white.

The hard right readily adopts the lingo of the military. It makes them sound manly.
When you say “See you in Valhalla”, that automatically means you can spit 20 feet, piss 50, and shoot the head off a dove with your Sig at 30 paces- while the dove is flying. Squinty eyed, muscles rangy from digging postholes…
At least that’s the image.
And sometimes just cultivating the image rather than actually living it- will get you appointed as Director of the FBI

That "war" mindset pervades this regime. The SecWar is always blathering about "war fighting". Changing the name of DoD to DoW is about setting a war mentality. So where does his nibs want the war first? Panama and Greenland were the early favorites. But invading Venezuela would be more profitable. Or maybe he's send Seal Team 6 to "liberate" Bolsonaro?
