Trump thinks he is more powerful than our Intelligence agencies, that's dangerous.

1. That is a road to ruin for him.

6. Or for us..

2. I wonder what's the buzz inside the intelligence agencies

I can't imagine their gonna stand for this bullshit. I hope.

5. It must be so tough for them.

They took an oath and are serious about it. Yet they know they are dealing with a madman who does not honor his own oath of office. They must be very conflicted about their duties. Not their loyalties, their duties.

I don't see how they can "not stand" for this bullshit. I just don't see it.

3. drumpf and the redumbliCONs have totally run amok and they are very dangerous.

4. He IS more powerful. He is POTUS. He can fire every single one of them if he so chooses.

Now, is it a good idea? No, it’s as bad an idea as a mayor firing members of his police force without cause. It’s a PR catastrophe.

9. Yet, if more people fall for the discrediting campaign

then firing everyone might be great PR for rallying his base. When rule of law doesn't matter anymore, who cares about something as unimportant as optics? That might seem far fetched, but so far tRump has continued to rely on the 30% base that thrills to his confronting government institutions at every turn.

10. Agreed, plus the whole group of folks who believe in the deep state nonsense

I doubt those folks would react to the firing of CIA or FBI agents with any kind of outrage.

7. for him its worth a try. one never knows how quickly the opposition will cave in nt

[RainCaster]

8. How does the Secret Service feel about this?

If they were to sleep on the job...

[kentuck]

11. The danger is that no one moves to stop him.

Silence is complicity and consent. How do we know he will not be successful?
