Oh great. Invite the gestapo arm of the fascist state right in. Also If you ever have some time read about the kind of evil person Kash Patel is. I can't believe we let people like that into our country.

@BalpeenHammer , yeah, wtf do we need a foreign county's secret agency office here?
- Because fascism was always the end goal of neoliberalism and conservatism.
- FBI is supposed to operate inside of the US only AFIK. The CIA and NSA are the ones supposed to fuck us.
They can fuck right off.
Remember when China did this?
- What happened?

- Whilst I agree that the FBI opening an office here is bad.
  This is in no way similar to what happened with the Chinese situation. Other than they are both "police" forces.
  The Chinese situation was not a public opening; or even a low key one organised with our government. It was an extension of the Chinese surveillance state; not welcome here, as we didn't officially know about it.
  I don't think it is a good idea for us to be allowing the FBI to setup offices here; it is being run out of their embassy...so they can kinda do what they want there.
- Honestly at this stage I'd rather have the Chinese than the Trump goons.
