US intel community isn't just a few guys sitting around in an office complex somewhere waiting to be compromised. It's gigantic, filled with thousands upon thousands of civil servants, with only a patina of political appointees. DOGE attempted to go there, but with limited success it seems. Perhaps even Donnie knows that next to the military those are the last people you want to fuck with for political purposes. They simply know too much.

The thing that still burns my ass is Trump giving that stupid speech early in his first term in front of the CIA Memorial Wall. Those stars represent people who died in service to their country. Many cannot be named. My initial thought was just shoot his ass down like the dog he is. Right there and then. Repercussions be damned!
