The fun part will be when Trump rips apart the alphabet soup intelligence apparatus and displaces much of the senior leadership. Those guys have spent decades building webs of deep and strong connections, and I would be 0% shocked if those guys were able to successfully mount an insurgency against the Trump presidency, and they'll likely take with them the list of dissidents and malcontents to contact.

The Alphabet Boys have dirt on everyone because they have everything. They probably have shit on trump putin doesn't. They could end trump whenever they want. But they don't, because they want what is coming.

They tire of the shadows, and want their own KGB man to lead the nation like in Russia, like the good old days with George H. W. Bush. No, that person is not trump.

Idk, I just think it'd be peak comedy if, after sponsoring right wing movements around the world for seventy years, CIA leadership was forced into leading a left-wing counter revolution here at home
