People in the alternative media keep saying that voting doesn't matter, but is that really so? Everything is being compromised by deep state spooks, and if an election can determine whether the top US spooks will keep their jobs, then it looks like there's quite a significant portion of democratic influence left intact. How do you guys feel about this?

Do you know how easy election fraud is when you control the political apparatus?

We are dealing with evil people who control the flow of money for most of the world. They have more money than people can imagine. Maybe 100 years ago there were enough free states to enact actual change through the democratic process, but not anymore.

It's not alt media saying voting doesn't matter. It's everyday people who KNOW that voting doesn't matter, and folks like me who have SEEN corruption and fraud take place. Cops were told, reports were written, and nobody went to jail.

He wants to fire people he appointed.

Axios reported Sunday that the president wants to remove FBI Director Christopher Wray, CIA Director Gina Hapsel and Defense Secretary Mark Esper but his advisers have cautioned him not to do so until after the election. The news website cited two people who've discussed the officials' fates with the president for its reporting.

Trump would like to replace them with officials he believes won’t interfere with him enacting his desired policies or going after his perceived enemies.

The list of planned replacements is even longer, Axios reported, but those three are Trump’s top priorities. While the president has voiced his displeasure about Attorney General William Barr, he reportedly has not made any formal plans to replace him.

The president would immediately move to replace Wray, Axios reported. The Daily Beast was the first to report earlier this month that the president had indicated to several senior officials and close associates that he intends to fire Wray.

Trump is reportedly furious with Wray for the FBI staying mum about emails found on a laptop purportedly belonging to Joe Biden’s son, Hunter, and for publicly contradicting the president’s comments on issues such as antifa, voting fraud and Russian election interference.

Trump also is reportedly angry with Wray for not ridding the FBI of more officials the president believes abused their power to investigate his 2016 campaign’s ties to Russia.

The West Wing does not trust Haspel because, according to one source Axios spoke to, “she still sees her job as manipulating people and outcomes, the way she must have when she was working assets in the field.” Trump also has grown increasingly frustrated with the CIA director for opposing the declassification of documents that might have helped Durham’s investigation, according to Axios.

Trump reportedly lost confidence in Esper this summer after the Defense secretary pushed back against the president’s suggestion of using active-duty military to deal with American protesters and distanced himself from the clearing of Lafayette Square for Trump’s photo op in front of St. John’s Church.

not sure how anyone can have confidence in the FBI at this point.

Good point.

I wonder why he didn't go after the FBI, CIA, DoD, and Federal Reserve in the first place.

[–]Nemacolin[S] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

Well, the Fed chief can't be fired. He did replace the FBI and CIA chiefs once or twice.

Any President could galvanize the people into supporting the dismantling of the Fed. It would not be that difficult if you have dozens of cameras pointed at you, members of the military supposedly sworn to your service, and over half of the nation supporting you.

Replacing heads won't cut it. He should've rallied the people into sending the top members and employees of these places to court.

But the federal reserve can be abolished. They don't have a military.

If I was him I'd fire every top bureaucrat and political appointee on my first day. You can't do nothing with swamp water up to your neck.

Have you noticed that he has not been hiring and firing rather quickly?

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Yes, that's the problem.
