@chillybot Yes. It's a red team slaughter. Well we are learning something that was a part of life for me in the IC: the whole government runs on trust and expectations of good behavior. We see some other countries expelling, charging and punishing rich and powerful politicians, but in our case we find ourselves in a position I don't think the founders ever thought possible, that all three branches of government--carefully created to be checks and balances on each other--are completely under the control of the worst possible people, who have no care for the constitution and in fact intently want to overthrow the system of government put in place 249 years ago. We have no institutional response to that, there is nothing built in. Our constitution allows for its own demise. The only thing that will change this is a citizen uprising. I personally think we are beyond that because Trump has created / is creating a private army answering only to him. I think a protracted general strike across all sectors is the only lever.
