THE POWER OF BUTTERSCOTCH BOTTOMS
The view from the Trump team is the intelligence world [is] becoming completely politicized,

Even his stupid shit eating followers must realize that he is doing this to purge those who oppose him like the wannabe third world dictator he desires to be.

Too politicized is always a shorthand for "they say things we don't to hear/adress"

See climate change for comparison

I always wondered if conservatives truly realize that facts have a liberal basis. Progress is inevitable in the end. Our human survival is dependent on evolution and creating an environment of collaboration among different cultures.

Except most Americans didn't like his response to the Pulse Shooting. Trump v Clinton was one of the few times where the Democrat actually had better numbers on "handling terrorism".

Mainly because they felt like his reaction was inapproriate and only meant to score electoral points.
 
Putin: the cia is sniffing around
Trump: say no more
Putin: don't worry, I'll fill in the gaps with my people
Trump: smart people?
Putin: the smartest
Trump: your the best poots, don't know how I'll make it through this presidency without you

Right so if Trump reacts the same way he did to the pulse shooting, he won't get a 9/11 boost like bush did.

Bush was smart enough to make a distinction between Al Queda and innocent Muslims.

Trump will be stupid enough to think he'll suddenly have support for a Muslim ban.

Whatever it will be, it won't be his fault according to him.
He'll use a terrorist attack to further weaken and question the effectiveness of intelligence agencies. He'll say he 'predicted' it but wasn't given the proper info or some other deflecting bullshit.

Nah, they'll be cheering it on so they can enjoy "the tears of butthurt libtard cucks"

surely the CIA and NI will realize their existence is at stake and they'll respond accordingly

You would think.

But this is America.

I wouldn't be surprised to find out that folks in these places love Trump and some how think he will be the best for them.


Nothing matters. Anything is possible. All rules gone.

I wonder how many people are going to end up quitting and leaving with only the ass kissers or shit stains being left to do the work.

No that's the FBI. The CIA preferred Hillary because she actually respected the importance of our Intel.

Yeah, they must have so much dirt on these people, it's just how they use it and how successful it would be. For themselves, more funding etc. or stopping Trump to save the country and even if they wanted to do that, how?

They won't care until it affects their jobs. How many jobs do you think will be lost with all these Trump cuts? They don't matter though I guess since they are "swamp" jobs. Coal jobs matter.

Like I said in another thread he's going to completely demotivate people from doing their jobs. I guess people take it for granted that no large scale terroristic attack has happened here since 9/11.

I think they should do something before he gets sworn in. I really am hoping that once he is in the hounds will be loose on this guy and won't be able to stay in office very long.

Ugh dude....

obviously we have RADICAL MUSLIM MEXICAN JIHAD TERRORISTS in America. They're climbin’ in your windows, they're snatchin’ your people up, tryin’ to terrorize 'em. So y’all need to hide your kids, hide your wife, and hide your husband cause they’re terrorizin' everybody out here
 
Americans cant be trusted with providing spies, so lets have those smart Russians who been running loops around American spies instead! Only if they are white, hate minorities and always agree with Trump.

Trump is, almost literally, American Erdogan. They are practically the same guy.

That said, even Erdogan doesn't suck Putin's dick this hard.

This is all crazy.

does one president really have all that power of is this dude going the extra mile?

When Republicans control everything, and aren't willing to say no to Trump? Yes, he would have the power. The House Republicans were about to take a BIG SHIT on the Ethics Office and insta-flip-flopped because Trump TWEETED disapprovingly.

He acts exactly, to the dot, like an authoritarian populist that will eventually concentrate power.

It's uncanny. We've seen this exact scenario so many times all around the world.
You're exactly right and it's downright frightening. ):

They are mostly similar, but Erdogan is actually a lot better economically and has more crises to deal with.

Both are thin skinned fuckheads who desperately want to be dictators though.

That's not true, they flip flopped because everyone and their grandmother blew up their phones for like 8 hours straight.

Whoof. I interviewed with a US Intelligence Community job earlier this year. So, so glad i didn't make it now.

Erdogan doesnt deny climate change.

Erdogan, like Putin, was pretty sane and competent for a while. It was only when the popularity of both came under question that they started to clamp down hard.

And that is why Democrats and the like need to use the 24/7 news cycle to hammer it home that it is all trump and the GOP's fault.

No tiptoeing. Go straight for the jugular, no holding back.

I wish it were that easy, but 24/7 news channels are fawning over every Trump tweet and handling this like Entertainment Weekly would.
