    Imagine how much the world will benefit if the CIA and NSA lose much of their workforce and their leadership is replaced by MAGA dumbasses.

    So, do you think he suddenly passes away next week from an unexplained and sudden illness or do the CIA roll over for belly rubs like good little removed? Watching him absolutely dismantle the state is hilarious, though it’d be a lot more fun if I didn’t have to live in the consequences after 😂😅

        Yeah, that’s what I’m expecting. I think he’s going to try and go full dictatorship in the coming years. It’s going to be interesting to see how much the “opposition” actually tries to stop him and also if SCOTUS will finish gutting the bill of rights by midterms or not. This country was already a cruel joke, now it’s going to just be cruel.

          I’m guessing they won’t need to do an open dictatorship any more than neocons did. They’ll just stuff all the institutions with people loyal to them, and the permanent bureaucracy will be loyal to the republicans going forward. That said, very much agree that there will be more cruelty for the working class as a result.

    I was just thinking today about the alphabet agencies, the dynamic there, and how powerful they have been, historically. If they roll over for him, I don’t know how much left would truly be in his way for consolidation of power. But it’s hard to imagine that happening without any uproar. There’s likely to be some fascist loyalists in there who don’t want to give in to Trump’s particular brand of fascism.
