Just perfect! Not like the Gaza news is going to drive the need for a stronger CIA.

These idiots, have no idea how actions lead to reactions.

cookievargas.bsky.social•22 days ago

or mayne that's their plan - what bette rway to get rid of pesky citizens on social secureiy, healthcare, etc

rockwils1.bsky.social•22 days ago

From Russia, with love.

aldamar.bsky.social•21 days ago

Just what I thought. Take away intelligence and top cops then start a war. Fck that!

jailhouse-dog.bsky.social•21 days ago

Yeah, but it's not like they won't get offered work somewhere else...

replarc.bsky.social•21 days ago

The EU should offer that staff to stay put and take over the salary 😜

jailhouse-dog.bsky.social•20 days ago

At least it would stop them working for Russia.

christiew.bsky.social•21 days ago

What are his priorities? Giving away our national security to Putin and Xi ?

gemslawrence.bsky.social•21 days ago

Yes. Putin’s men are his “handler” and then Putin’s boss is Mogilevich. Everything he and Musk are doing is purely for Russia and China, which also will greatly benefit them. There are literally Russians and Nazis in White House right now.

winston1984.bsky.social•22 days ago

Kash Patel will turn the FBI into the Gestapo, while tRump will have President Musk, Mike Flynn and Erik Prince make the CIA into his own personal SS.

gladi8or.bsky.social•21 days ago

Putin finally getting what he programmed Trump for all those years ago. Champagne glasses being raised today in Moscow.

They need to do what the FBI's doing.

WARNING.

This is a destruction of Democracy and our Intelligence Agency.
This will be the biggest disaster in the history of the United States besides The Twins Pete and Repeat.

wildwisdom.bsky.social•22 days ago

Shouldn’t that read “Putin’s priorities“?

formergregsamsa.bsky.social•22 days ago

I don't get it. I've seen a lot of movies and TV shows and thought this was a thing the CIA should've seen a mile away and eliminated anyone causing it. Turns out 'Burn After Reading' is a documentary.

lifecouldbeadream.bsky.social•20 days ago

I'm guessing potus wants the CIA to be vulnerable for his donors overseas...

Ok maybe they should take it and all sign on to the British secret service - as we will need them to fight a criminal in the USA - their mission has changed ! The FBI employees could possibly do the same … (?)

If FUp47 is looking to streamline employees he should make this offer to Secret Service I'm sure those folks are tired of protecting his fat ass

I will put loyalty to the US and its highest moral principles above loyalty to any person, party, or government department."

Are you getting it yet? Fire the entire CIA bec their oath mandates oversight of his shyte.

brendansmith.bsky.social•22 days ago

I know this is pointless to mention... but just imagine the FUROR from FOX NEWS, CNN, the New York Times, the Wash Post, and every single politician in DC if Obama or Biden dared to even joke about offering buyouts to the CIA. They'd be led out of the White House in a straitjacket.

fenraven.bsky.social•21 days ago

This is what happens when billionaire right-ring assholes buy all our legacy media. Almost no one is properly covering this story unless they are the Guardian or influential and knowledgeable Democrats, like Heather Cox Richardson and Robert Reich.

Americans don’t have the stomach for that now, maybe if they can’t access their bank accounts for a few days they might…

savannahsghost.bsky.social•21 days ago

Don't know, man, in Trump's America, he'd probably get a medal of "freedom"?

nicolekidmansnose.bsky.social•21 days ago

There will be a post-Trump America someday.

savannahsghost.bsky.social•19 days ago

Yes, amid the wreckage of what used to be a climate that we could live in. So by the time that happens, it will be too late. That's why they want to suppress us all now into their little kingdoms.

nicolekidmansnose.bsky.social•19 days ago

That's catastrophizing - agency is still a possibility.

kfanyo.bsky.social•22 days ago

It's a test, though I'm sure it isn't intended as such. Everyone at a reasonable distance from retirement who takes the buyout really shouldn't have been on the payroll. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

solitudepeace.bsky.social•22 days ago

I’m spinning rapidly into a hellhole…

oregonblondi.bsky.social•21 days ago

Russia and China must be thrilled

sleestak51.bsky.social•22 days ago

It always feels nice when an investment pays off big.

annacolorado.bsky.social•21 days ago

How can we not see this as purposefully putting all of us in the US at safety and security risk. Buying out the entire CIA? Nearly every in Airline Safety? What other motives can explain all of this? Antagonizing every ally for no real reason?

justinstarren.bsky.social•21 days ago

So Tulsi Gabbard gets confirmed as Director of national intelligence, and within 24 hours the US is intentionally crippling the CIA? Coincidence? Wonder which countries that might benefit.

richardhardack.bsky.social•21 days ago

It's a sign of how upside down everything is that we have to root for the agency that fomented dozens of anti-democratic coups abroad because it's now the target of a domestic coup.

kstjarre.bsky.social•21 days ago

If Putin and Xi were going to make a checklist of what they'd like to see done to the United States, and our ability to defend ourselves and others, and our efforts to relieve the suffering of others, their list would look exactly like what Trump and President Musk are doing.

im-ag0ste.bsky.social•22 days ago

And why are they capitulating?

chrisvrennashairdo.bsky.social•22 days ago

They are not going to capitulate what so ever. It's going to get very very bad because you don't mess with the intelligence agencies.

im-ag0ste.bsky.social•22 days ago

That's what I'm hoping for.

chrisvrennashairdo.bsky.social•22 days ago

Of all the agencies on this planet to treat like Twitter. They really want to mess with the spies.

im-ag0ste.bsky.social•22 days ago

Let The Wall of Stars spur them as a reminder of the loss of assets under Trump.

Yup.

libertyandlife.bsky.social•21 days ago

This is another dangerous move. I pray they stay in their jobs before the CIA is filled with more of Trumps misfit toys..

wilderberry715.bsky.social•21 days ago

Is it just me, but this is such a high level of incompetence. Why encourage highly trained CIA agents to take early retirement just to save money at the expense of our national security. Are the Trump tax cuts for millionaires more important? I know obviously a foolish question.

These buyout offers are always a precursor for mass layoffs. It’s a ‘get out semi voluntarily before you are fired’ tactic used often by big companies. 👇 https://bsky.app/profile/jamiegangel.bsky.social/post/3lhfa6mkihk24

huck48.bsky.social•22 days ago

You'd think that a simpleton had tried to attack an organization that was completely comprised of Machiavellians, and something, somehow went wrong.

Why, if I didn't know that Trump was a genius, I'd be worried.

rob1davis.bsky.social•22 days ago

I’m sure it will be fine having literally no one left who knows what they’re doing at the organization that {checks notes} protects our most sensitive secrets

defund-and-abolish.bsky.social•17 days ago

Are they offering an actual buyout?

denlm.bsky.social•21 days ago

These moves were forecast in the Trump 2025 Agenda. However, I wonder if Trump’s outrageous positions (Gaza, Tarriffs,etc) is deliberately inviting terrorist attacks with no forewarning, so he can turn the military against Americans, as well as our constitution, by imposing Martial Law.

debbie156.bsky.social•22 days ago

Omg!!!

ericlackner.bsky.social•21 days ago

This is why I find it EXTREMELY hard to believe that the CIA was involved in killing JFK.

If there was ANY president who was a threat to the nation and had to be eliminated by the CIA for the good of the country, it's Trump.

jeffrocat.bsky.social•22 days ago

How's week 3 going? Oh, just another 9-11 coming soon.

barb97305.bsky.social•22 days ago

Wow, in some of these cases unemployment will be allowed. Good luck.

Right, and this part (from the Guardian citing WSJ since I am paywalled to WSJ): "His aide said Trump’s CIA will have a greater focus on the western hemisphere, targeting countries not traditionally considered adversaries of the US, according to the Journal."

markfford.bsky.social•22 days ago

So a hall pass for the traditional bad actors? 🤦🏼‍♂️

ferrethouse.bsky.social•22 days ago

So creating enemies where we don't have any?

susanjrobinson.bsky.social•22 days ago

Looks like it. Oh and their gonna turn Gaza into the 51st state and turn it into a Trump resort (evict the Palestinians who actually live there). So I am sure that won’t make anyone upset. And it’s not like the CIA keeps a look out for threats or anything like that. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Fascism is winning because of a collective failure to grasp reality. We are still lurching and reacting to each new "thing" and screaming into the internet like it's going to matter.

I keep asking everyone who is freaking out every day, "Why are you surprised? Why shock? We knew that he would do every bit of this. We knew this would only be the beginning."
We knew, and yet instead of acting like it was the five alarm fire it is, we allowed him to be elected.

jeff-myers.bsky.social•21 days ago

I feel the same way. Anyone who says they're surprised by anything he's done is lying or kidding themselves. We all knew what he was before the election, and We The People voted for him, because this is what we wanted.

pwilly3.bsky.social•22 days ago

The protests got to be by the millions. Shit has to be shut down.

wholetree.bsky.social•22 days ago

Also, the "company" is not going away, it will just be retooled to become our fascist dictator's personal KGB agency.
