Highlights

  • Abusing declassification to prove Trump’s conspiracies. Like clipping sentences from a report saying there is no Chinese election interference in order to support Trump.
  • Using the CIA to tell Americans their votes were stolen
  • He used the CIA on Ecuadorian fishing boats near the Galapagos islands.
  • Authors argue that he is not actually an “adult in the room”, and is politicizing the CIA

    He’s not failing the president, that is whom he is serving not us.

    I bet they are neck deep in Euro politics, helping their little fasci waving fake populists win power.

      Sure, but… as opposed to “real populists”? Where?

      Germans are electing Nazis because the alternative pinned their parties to an unpopular war that’s destroyed their economy and climate goals.

      Nazis are winning because liberals were arming other Nazis. Big winner, Nazis everywhere. Congratulations.

        You are talking to one real populist. Sawn Fein, UAW boss is another.

        As to real populists in politics, there aren’t many, because they kill them in the cradle in the west, just as they are trying to do with Fein because he spoke against Israel’s genocide.

        In the US, we don’t have a single white populist in government that I’m aware of. Just a smattering of minority ones, that are only marginally sabotaged because they can’t win, and because their districts are overwhelmingly progressive. Often because gerrymandering packs a few districts with dems so they can crack other districts.

        But it follows across the west. All real populism has been quashed, and all left parties seized by the oligarchy and turned into controlled opposition or call them what you will. The few actual left parties, like france unbowed, idk what their deal is. Surely sabotaged, but how much do they suck not being able to compete? Idk the story there.
