Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Ok I was trying not to go there, but alright so… then who and/or what criteria does the CIA use to determine who to wack? Do the corporations tell the CIA who to wack? Are we to assume there is some benevolent good intentioned body within the CIA watching over us with fairness and good intentions in their hearts?
I think that was my original line of thought, that this isn’t really their job. This is why we are supposed to have courts. But those are broken too.
I mean, if you want a serious answer: if the President is overtly and actively damaging US national security, that’s a situation I would have thought that some shady stuff might be done against the president, up to and including helping the line of succession… succeed, as it were. But that clearly isn’t happening.
Not to mention, the CIA is foreign espionage and assassination. Not domestic. NSA is a global intelligence gathering. And even less assassination oriented.
The people that likely killed MLK would be the proper group. But they practically line up to wash the orange turds taint with their tongues.
That didn't bother the CIA when it was about domestically poisoning poor black people.
Were one of the agencies responsible for killing undesirable presidents they would set up Trump to die of something that looked natural
