I hope that Trump does some severe political cleansing of NSA and CIA

This idea is so simplistic. Just purge all the people from the other party. Keep up this kind of juvenile advice and maybe he will make you a top security advisor.

It's not so easy without already having real inside connections, believe me I have tried..

He has to ask the really hard question, are they any good, and are they doing the job which they are contracted to do.? If the answer is no. Then he has to ask what have they been doing all these years. I think we all know that answer.

Dear 007,

"YOUR FIRED"

Something along those lines?

Would it be a pink slip or a black slip?

a reply to: galien8

are you a vampire?

Nope. I just like puddin'.

I love puddin'.

But like most things, the corruption at in these government agencies are at the top. Most of the folks are well meaning people that sometimes get caught up in bad situations due to bad superiors.

Do you have two accounts, does that not violate the EULA?

Senator Chuck Schumer said this week that Donald Trump could be snuffed-out if he started rocking the boat at the CIA. I think Donald Trump responded, by calling Schumer a Ringling Brothers "Clown", or something to that effect.

Well at least we now know on what side of the fence to look for any involved schemers if Trump gets JFK'ed.

Yeah, Trump is like JFK (superstar)

Trump is 70 years old.

Most corporate executives are forced out at 65, because a person's mental faculties are receding at that point, and corporations need to give the younger minds a chance to guide the ship.

Trump puts up a good show of physical and mental readiness, but a simple examination will reveal it's all illusion.

He dies his hair, to look younger. He holds simpleton rallies, with "Make America Great" again type slogans, requiring very little mental acumen to sustain. He avoids any and all news conferences where the reporters can grill him, requiring detailed and thoughtful responses. All his appearances are quick 1 minute "photo ops" for the cameras, usually with some other important person in tow, to signal his dominance over those who can actually think. His debates were all deliberately spattered with personal attacks like "who could vote for a face like that" to arouse emotions and avoid any serious dialog. His cover is "don't let anyone know what you're thinking", which is the perfect cover for one incapable of thinking anything.

Everybody adopts the style of dress and manner that hides their inadequacies.

Like the woman wearing a large bag over her shoulders to hide her enormous bottom, Trump hides his inadequacies behind his proclaimed philosophy.

But, when you're the President, it's hard to continue to hide.

At some point, Trump will have to come out of the closet, and give a substantial speech like President Clinton and President Obama.

What will happen then?

We all await the drama, with abated breath.

Wow, the 17 intelligence agencies come to the same conclusion and the OP and Mr. Grabber's minions are now talking about a "political cleansing."

Wow! OP, just curious, ever support an authoritarian junta before? You sure sound like someone that belongs with the SS.

Why do you need 17 agencies. Every department of the Government doesn't need an intelligence department or a police type enforcement department.

One agency with its head screwed on right to do all the foreign and domestic intelligence gathering and analysis.

Why bring up the Nazi crap. You must like their Hugo Boss designer uniforms.

It's not authoritarian to want secure borders and people to follow the law. Yeah, boo hoo, the illegal's country is terrible, dangerous, etc. Run away, let someone else fix the mess they made. The socialist in the US will give you money, food, a home away from them, an education and let you vote democrat; all funded by someone else's taxes.

Because they can then spy on each other, to make sure no one entity gets authoritarian powers.

That's the first thing needed by an authoritarian power, a centralized intelligence service.

It's not authoritarian to want secure borders and people to follow the law.

But, it is authoritarian to have a President who doesn't pay taxes, yet requires everyone else to pay them.

This is starting to sound dangerously like a dictatorship. Dictators remove their political opponents.

I'm fairly certain it was Nixon, followed by Reagan, who began the War on Drugs that has gutted those south American countries and sent them fleeing to you.

You guys created the mess now you want to step back and cry about the consequences. Unbelievable.

a reply to: Tempter

Wow just wow.

The whole idea behind our style of government is that there is NEVER only one person in control.

Something trump is going to have to learn
FAST.

Or he's in for a rude awakening when he finds out in two weeks that he wasn't elected king.

a reply to: rickymouse

That's not how that works.

Their job isn't to tell the president what he wants to hear.
That is a convoluted view and it's just not true.

a reply to: carewemust

That is a total lie. Oh my god.
He said they could get him six ways to Sunday. He never said snuffed out.

I seem to remember an incident during the summer when it sure sounded like trump calling for someone to exercise their second amendment rights and implying that they should take out Hillary. Oh no you guys cried. He didn't mean THAT!. and getting their panties in a bunch over semantics.

Look at that shoe right there....dangling off the other foot. See it? No ?
Well I knew that. Scoffs...

A 45 caliber.

a reply to: AMPTAH

Great post.
Except for the 70 years old comment.

Lots of people maintain their mental equity throughout their lives and dementia and loss is not a given or even the norm.
And then there are others who begin a downward decline in their fifties .
Just saying.
I lost my dad this past summer and he was sharp as a tack right up to the end. And he was 87.
My mother in law died last year at 93 and she was active with her Sweet Adelines group and traveled all over the place. She did eventually decline but it was cancer that took her and the meds that hurt her thinking.
But everything else..spot on dude.

Yes but otherwise they "retire" me, somebody is messing with my life, got 44 issues of real weird things going on the last couple of years, this is a case for the National Dutch Lawyer.

As long as I fight back, I stay alive

What fairy tale world do you live in? The president sets the guidelines of what they are allowed to investigate. The president does have accountability to his party, so he does have advisors that steer his actions somewhat. Special interest advisors are also of influence to the president's actions. Donor interests need to be considered.

Anyone believing that these agencies are not under control of the president to some extent are not informed as to how government works.

I know, your name here states that you are not totally informed how things work.
