If I was a Five Eyes nation, I’d be looking long and hard at reducing head count…or at least changing the name to “Four Eyes and an Asshole”

at least they better be holding-back the intel they do have and are gathering on americans for the TLAs
The party of law and order is officially defunding the police. Great job!
CIA ain’t police
Of all the agencies that I thought would capitulate quickly, I’ve got to admit I’m a bit shocked by this one.
At the same time, I’m sure this is not the whole story.
the TLAs are the feds standing in the emperor’s and lord diaper’s way the most. justice is locked-down, as is enough of the courts; half of congress is in a daze and the moron majority is eating the orange poo; but the TLAs have off-the-book ops and funding to do ‘things’.
Yeah, they killed Kennedy over a lot less, and this time they’re all at risk of losing their jobs and they’re just going to shrug it off?
Kennedy fired the architect of the CIA and planned to significantly cut their budget. What has Trump done that antagonizes them at anything close to that level?
Y’all just think because you personally don’t like Trump, the CIA must not like him either. But the CIA does not share your interests or values, in fact, they’re pretty much completely opposite.
Well it is the CIA, it is plausible they’re just playing the game to stay on Trump’s good side. Maybe they ‘buyout’ a Joe and ‘rehire’ a Joey that just so happens to know everything Joe did, but ‘adores’ Trump for reasons
My first thought was: everyone in the CIA “retires” and gets “consulting” gigs with shell companies nobody has heard of.
Yeah, but who are those shell companies working for? A big selling point in the general buyouts is, “we want people out of govt service and in the private sector where they can do thier best work!”
I’m thinking we don’t want a bunch of freelance spies contracting to the highest bidder
I think the joke was the shell companies are all owned by the CIA. Hence the quotes around “retires” and “consulting”.
Why?
then, replenish the workforce with putin puppets and kgb assets.
The last president to do a mass firing at the CIA was Carter. Hopefully this turns out just as well for Trump.
I sincerely hope Trump doesn’t make it to 100 years old.
I agree, unless he ends up in jail, then I hope he grows very old.
Well, there goes one of my remedies. Will the military capitulate next?
I for one am shocked that the CIA is not standing up for the democratic values it’s so well known for upholding.
They view the civilian goverment as above them at all times through all means, it’s very serious military doctorine to always be guided by the civilian goverment. How that plays out with a fascist in charge who wants to violate the constitution, who is clearly using legalism to order blatantly illegal actions already, it’s not clear. But in my opinion the leadership of the military will hold their nose and do whatever they are told and the enlisted will largely enjoy that.
First thing trump did I’ve agreed with. Do the NSA next.
