Revenge firing... seems popular these days
A top FBI official with 27 years standing has reportedly been fired by the bureau after its director, Kash Patel, became enraged by press stories revealing he had used a government jet to travel to see his girlfriend sing the national anthem at a wrestling match.
Steven Palmer, who had worked at the bureau since 1998, was fired as head of the FBI’s critical incident response group which is responsible for handling major security threats as well as overseeing the agency’s fleet of jets. He was the third head of the unit to be dismissed since Patel became the second Trump administration’s FBI director in February.
Bloomberg Law, which broke the story, said that three unnamed sources had expressed astonishment at the sacking given that Patel’s flight schedules were fully public and trackable on websites. A day after her performance, Patel himself had reposted photos showing him together with his girlfriend, country singer Alexis Wilkins, on his X account.
According to Bloomberg, Patel had become furious over stories published after the event about his use of the FBI jet to go on the date with Wilkins. Soon after, Palmer had been told he could resign instantly or be fired.
The dismissal was made official on Friday.

On a lighter note, it hasn’t got to the point of falling out of a window. Yet.

That is a common rephrasing of a statement that has proved hard to nail down the translation.
Both of those translations means slightly different things...., but the gist of the statement remains

Oh, he knows where Africa is... this happened during his past term in office:
DoD’s Report on the Investigation into the 2017 Ambush in Niger
On October 4, 2017, four U.S. Army Green Berets and four Nigerien soldiers were killed in action during an ambush of a joint U.S.-Nigerien mission outside the village of Tongo Tongo, Niger. On May 11, 2018, the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) released a detailed video-graphic depiction of the ambush and an eight-page summary of a much longer classified report on the events leading up to, during, and immediately following the ambush. Given the new information provided by DoD, the public has the opportunity to consider the risks U.S. forces were operating under, as well as the lessons DoD has derived from the events and the recommendations the investigation generated.
DoD’s Report on the Investigation into the 2017 Ambush in Niger
The events in Niger demonstrated that the so-called by, with, and through approach to counterterrorism still exposes U.S. troops to risk.
$20 says Trump has added an extra G to that country name more than once.
$5 says he doesn't know the difference between Niger and Nigeria
