      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.

        Were one of the agencies responsible for killing undesirable presidents they would set up Trump to die of something that looked natural
