Former top officials from Donald Trump’s administration are warning he is likely to use a second term to overhaul the nation’s spy agencies in a way that could lead to an unprecedented level of politicization of intelligence.
On the other hand, the prospect of a second Trump presidency has the unintelligence community delighted.
They’re included in the community mentioned above due to recent performance.
Maybe they could do something
Nah, they only do something when there’s a prospect of a socialist democracy rejecting American corporate interests… because the military industrial complex and entire intelligence apparatus is a tool of capitalism.
Corporations aka “the economy” = “national security”
Man, given what the intelligence agencies are known for, I don’t exactly want them interfering in US elections.
Trump, who already tried to revamp intelligence agencies during his first term, is likely to re-up those plans — and push even harder to replace people perceived as hostile to his political agenda with inexperienced loyalists, according to interviews with more than a dozen people who worked in his administration.
This is why fascism always fails despite all its posturing about being “strong”. People in top positions are chosen for loyalty to the leader first and basic competence second. Then those people are turned against each other to make sure they never accumulate enough power under themselves to directly challenge the leader. This is exactly what happened to Nazi intelligence, and British intelligence ran circles around them.
It never works in the long run, but they can take down everything around them in the short to medium run.
Cheeto Benito just outs intelligence assets on a whim, him being in charge makes us less safe in many ways. He is proof we are an unreliable ally.
To everyone suggest he gets JFKd…
I bet you it’s on the table. And the intelligence communities are weighing on how much of a martyr it’ll make him/if it’ll spark a civil war.
