The intelligence peoples are concerned about Trump.

Very true but a failed impeachment causes less disruption than a successful assassination.

Actually, Assassinations are kind of useless for changing policy.

Killing JFK didn't change anything. LBJ continued with the same policies, and was probably more successful in implementing them.
Killing McKinley didn't change anything. Teddy Roosevelt continued on with imperialist policies by the US.
Killing Garfield didn't change anything, as he and Chet Arthur were inconsequential presidents.

the only argument you could made for an assassination being disruptive is killing Lincoln, because Andrew Johnson was so awful as a President. But it is unlikely that if Lincoln had lived that Reconstruction would have been less of a clusterfuck.

We had far more faith in our government until JFK was whacked. The JFK assassination and the Viet Nam War ruined our trust in our government.

I think the real turning point on trust in government was Watergate, and the press was able to bring down a president.

which in many ways, was unfortunate.

Nixon was actually a pretty good president if you take out the Watergate shit.

As opposed to Trump, who was an utter failure as a president, and some of you want more of that to own the libs.

The problem with anyone who thinks that JFK was assassinated as part of a big conspiracy is that they are plain ignorant of the facts.

Oswald acted alone. Multiple investigations proved that.

He signals he wants a much needed reform. Could be controlled opposition, could be an op to get some credibility for the agency back, or he could be suicidal. He needs to look at how that worked out for JFK. https://www.politico.com/news/2024/02/26/trump-intelligence-agency-national-security-00142968

I think that Americas current allies will be nervous about sharing data with him as well. People will die. Price of trump.
