Isn't the CIA or FBI supposed to do something to stop Rump from giving away the farm to Putin?

[tavernier]

Or is that only in the movies?

Or maybe I shouldn’t worry because he probably really doesn’t pay attention or listen to classified info, let alone read anything?

1. Same question I've had, just how much further can this go!!! IMO it shows our gov. is totally

failing for checks and balances when a criminal/gangster/coup operation has seized power.

[MousePlayingDaffodil]

3. I don't think . . .

. . . that the CIA or the FBI "doing something" about Trump is what is meant by "checks and balances" under our constitutional system. Rather the contrary, actually.

[RKP5637]

6. Yes, you're quite correct. I was thinking more along the lines of our failed congress. I don't

think our founders envisioned a president wanting to destroy the country for many and a willing congress that is complicit and complacent. I think it was Jefferson (I'm pretty sure) that was concerned the evolution of a two party system and corporations could possibly destroy the country.

[MousePlayingDaffodil]

14. Fair enough . . .

. . . although, there, I don't think the blame can ultimately be laid at the feet of Congress.

Almost by definition, given the structure of our representative government, the true failure rests with the people of this country, no?

I mean, that's almost ontologically true, I should think. We get the government we deserve, and we are getting it.

[RKP5637]

16. Quite true, people get what they vote for, although HRC did win the popular vote. And a lot of it

starts with the local/state elections, but lots of people IMO do not pay attention, and fewer pay attention to the election, for example, of judges at the local level wherein sometimes they are voted in. It's hard to judge a judge, so to say, as often information is scant and some states/politicians try to block the information from public view.

2. The CIA will know everything that is said...

rest assured. So will Russias FSB. They don't operate in a vacuum.
Will WE know it? No. They have so many surveillance methods it would make your head spin.

[tavernier]

5. I hope you are right.

I just haven’t seen any checks and balances, as the other poster mentioned, up until now, so it feels like we’re about to lose our country.

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

8. I hear you my friend...

Loud and clear.

[lame54]

7. They probably have their own Trump pee tape

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

11. I think a pee tape is just the tip of the iceberg.

This fuckin spoiled brat has been catting around the world for his entire life on his dads dime. IM SURE he's done worse things than have prossies piss on a mattress.
Snorting coke off his daughters ass...or something even more deviant would be my guess. Got high in Russia...and behaved in a manner most unbecoming, and the Ruskies got it on digital.

[Iliyah]

4. GOP Senators just visited Russia. Nunes and the house GOPers are

in Putin's pocket, the actual fake news got a whole lot of money and pulls from the very rich from USA and around the world.

But the greedy always effs up.

[RKP5637]

9. Yep, it seems a power grab for the world by a very wealthy and powerful coup operating across the

world.

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

12. And we paid for the flights.

[grantcart]

10. Actually that's the people's job

[tavernier]

15. Half of the people are hypnotized and brainwashed by Fox.

And Russia has been working on them as well.

We are trying, but we could sure use some help.

[RKP5637]

17. And what about Rupert Murdoch??? He's behind the whole Fox News operation and I never

hear his agenda questioned. I think a lot of Americans are lazy and stupid, that's my opinion.

[ornotna]

13. They will send him in well prepared

[msongs]

18. so when trump takes the US out of NATO how much will he and his friends make? nt

[tavernier]

20. I'm glad my Latvian parents didn't live to see this.

I’m afraid I agree with you that NATO is the next thing Putin will insist we leave.

[JI7]

19. No. It's congress that isn't doing their job

Cia, fbi etc can give and show what they have but republicans in congress don't care so.............

[lapfog_1]

21. If they did, it would be clear evidence that the Deep State exists

which, of course, there is absolutely no evidence that it does... or if it does, it is much more incompetent than is reasonable

[tavernier]

22. Agreed. If that were true,

our “deep state” isn’t very deep or sophisticated if they didn’t know ahead of our election that we had been infiltrated by the Russians.
