Apr 22, 2026, 10:55 PMKash Patel is reportedly furious and threatening to sue anyone who calls him “J. Edgar Boozer.”
It would be a real shame if this went viral.

Damn it would be an awful thing if anyone were, to take a hypothetical, accidentally hit the boost button...

Wow! Fascinating! Someone should time these things… #JEdgarBoozer: “ Looks like Google's AI Overview knows that it is Kash's nickname now. So, already viral.”

Are you referring to the Director of the Federal Bureau of Intoxication?

@MostlyHarmless Still, it's a cute joke and deserves a try. Boost!, eh, Booze!
Just my humour. Like it as much as Whiskey Pete. Such personalities. And they're even coming from the same MAGA shop.
Look around in the media - this thingy is really taking off: https://thehalfwaypost.medium.com/kash-patel-is-furious-everyone-is-calling-him-j-edgar-boozer-884012f4fa53
A Flock of Beaglesburnitdown@beige.partyApr 23, 2026, 2:36 AM@MostlyHarmless somehow, i don't think drinking alcohol is the worst thing he's done, nor will he give a single fuck if you say that about him. alcoholics in recovery will hear that you don't care about them, though.

Touchy! That's not *nearly* as mean as "J. Edgar Closet."

Apr 23, 2026, 3:05 AM@MostlyHarmless So, I can't call him J. Edgar Boozer.
Okay! Fine. I won't call him J. Edgar Boozer.
I don't want him to make him feel bad by calling J. Edgar Boozer.
No one should call him J. Edgar Boozer.

Crystal_Fish_CavesCrystal_Fish_Caves@mstdn.partyApr 23, 2026, 11:40 AM@FrancoisPrague @MostlyHarmless so is alcoholism a Gop job requirement or just a perk?
There was a report the toddler tyrant hires idiots on purpose (it would be statistically improbable to hire so many by accident) he thinks they make him look smart (not possible) by comparison + he has reason to terminate pre loaded. Getting good people to do a good job? Not an option apparently.

Apr 23, 2026, 5:25 AM@MostlyHarmless Given how shockingly insecure he is about his masculinity - I feel J. Edna Boozer might also be effective.

J Edgar Boozer as a name for Kash Patel works fine for me.
Especially if Patel doesn't like it.
He should just be glad that he doesn't have sex with sofas like JD Vance does.
