On Thursday, the Senate narrowly voted to confirm Kash Patel’s nomination to be the next director of the FBI. Last night, Donald Trump named conservative talk radio host and former Secret Service agent Dan Bongino to be the agency’s deputy director. Join Matt and Walter at 8:00 PM ET tonight as they discuss the implications of these appointments, namely what they portend for the future of the national security state and its ability to target its political enemies. They’ll also build on Matt’s recent piece about the role the Internet has played in making it impossible to track down honest news coverage. And if time permits, they’ll take a look at MSNBC’s decision to axe Joy Reid. (If you listen closely, you can hear the sound of Chris Matthews laughing.)

Maybe Joy Reid can go back to Harvard and study Eastern European history and geography. Remember her comments about Ivana and Melania Trump (both obviously Kremlin spies, since they are from Eastern Europe), then getting the countries wrong?
Query: when will MSDNC dump Screechel Maddow?
You just know that Joy Reid is going to blame her firing on "RACISM!"
