1. Yep. I never really thought that they could pull it off. Maybe I was wrong.

2. Been saying this for weeks now.

This has been the plan all along.

Shutter government.

Break down the administrative structure.

Empty out the agencies of competent employees.

Appoint only "acting" unconfirmed executives.

Appoint incompetents and antagonists where possible.

Disrupt trade.

3. I agree and as a federal retiree I'm scared shitless.

4. I follow Sarah on Twitter and Have Read Her Book

She scares me to death.

But I just can't believe that out of the 100K+ Intel & LE we have in America - those who pledged to protect this country - that all of them would be complicit and willing to let Russian take over the USA. Not even half. Hell, not even 90%.

So, while Sarah may be right (and I believe she is), it doesn't mean that they will be successful. Once everything starts to really break, Trump will lose his base. After all, they're the freaks who fretted for no good reason for 8 years that "OBummer" would put everyone under martial law, take away their guns, and throw them into abandoned Walmarts like animals. They will not take kindly to losing their healthcare, SS, etc.

Lastly, there are many republicans who will flip out if they begin losing $$$ because of this. Causing everything to crash and trying to destroy America isn't as easy as Putin and Trump thinks.

Well...unless, Putin is planning to fry our electric grids as a cherry on top. Then, we're screwed.
