By the end of the day, almost all of the roles created after 9/11 literally to prevent the next 9/11 will be either vacant or lack permanent appointees.
Trump has successfully hollowed out US national security. ISIS knows it. Russia knows and loves it. https://www.wired.com/story/trump-hollowed-out-us-national-security-vacancies-acting/
How Trump Hollowed Out US National Security
Acting director of national intelligence Richard Grenell is just the latest in a cascade of temporary or vacant personnel in critical government positions.

(22,112 posts)in these offices that rump is filling with them.
If something should happen, and the department head of the federal agency tasked with the role of stopping such attacks based upon reasonable intelligence reports, failed to even do the bare minimum of what their task is in that department or federal agency, they should be charged with treason, aiding and abetting the enemy, along w/ rump, who continues to put the Country's national security interests at risk. Serious risk.
It would be too late by then. At least we still have control of our military and LEO....right?

(21,675 posts)He's basically given Putin the keys to our country. As a former intelligence officer in Russia, he knows exactly where to look for our secrets. Damn him to hell.

(33,324 posts)It's not clear how Trump came to be Putin's willing puppet, other than narcissism and money, but the GOP has been cultivating extremism and eliminating others from their party for years. It's now a cult so in love with Russia's oligarchy and it's white supremacist policies that the GOP is willing to destroy our democracy to attain what Russia has.

He is the undisputed leader of their party, and they are responsible for all the damage he has done and continues to do.
