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.
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’.
I think it’s not that far fetched to presume the CIA has major political power within the US, more than the EPA at least. If someone, they know how to assassinate a president or a billionaire and make it look like an accident.
He’s eroding the US’ capability to coup and extract wealth from other countries. Trump is squandering all the power they built up on posturing and bullshit.
Reducing CIA headcount for example. But also, fracturing US alliances, stopping USAID, removing the US from international agreements that it could use as diplomatic soft power leverage, and just being a general jackass.
So the reason they wouldn’t take buyouts is because they were offered?

“General jackassery” is not going to cause the CIA to assassinate a president. The CIA are generally jackasses lol. Fracturing alliances, I’m not sure that the CIA cares and I’m not sure how much of an effect his shenanigans will actually have in the long term. Some members of the CIA might prefer if he didn’t withdraw from international agreements, but in the grand scheme of things, I imagine it’s pretty small potatoes to them. The CIA certainly has the power to slap a president that gets out of line, but it’s not as if they micromanage every decision. Is any of that really enough to make it “shocking” that they’re cooperating?
If Trump’s really kneecapping the CIA that badly, I guess it’s the one good thing he’s done. More realistically, I assume he’s greenlighting them on all sorts of horrible shit behind closed doors and couldn’t be happier with him.
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.
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?

They used up all their energy and resources on the 500 times they tried to murk Castro, they got no juice left.
Why?

Sure, but why would they want to do anything about Trump?
He’s eroding the US’ capability to coup and extract wealth from other countries. Trump is squandering all the power they built up on posturing and bullshit.
How is he doing that?
