CIA and bougie pricks in general have gotten really complacent
Man needlessly smashed up some of the US' ability to project soft power, he's still talking about slashing the military budget, and now this and they haven't whacked him yet
Soft
this aint your poppys cia no more
cia went woke smdh
CIA during the Cold War: Hopped up alcoholic psychos smearing LSD onto the doorknobs of historically black churches and overthrowing Latam democracies.
CIA today: Some YOPO DC dork who posts furry porn to the DSA's twitter before hitting up Planet Fitness.

They've tried hitting him with the cancer gun but all the McDonald's he eats has pickled his body and he's immune.
A few months ago I thought there was no way he'd be stupid enough to dismantle the institutions that keep the US in power, because monied interests that depend on it would have him deleted, sent to prison for real, or at the very least impached.

The truth is the presidency is actually an enormously powerful position and there is no secret cabal of intelligent, strategic capitalists behind the scenes who can press a button to override it. Ruling classes have always been riven by factionalism, and the modern American ruling class is at the apex of this due to generations of imperial hegemony degrading their ability to analyze, understand, and respond to real material conditions.
Thank Bush for that.
They dont need soft power anymore. Empire is back.
