Trump sought major changes at the intel agencies in his first term; former officials say he could be more radical in a second.

Former top officials from Donald Trump’s administration are warning he is likely to use a second term to overhaul the nation’s spy agencies in a way that could lead to an unprecedented level of politicization of intelligence.

    How many times have the Democrats held power and done absolutely nothing with it?

    Far too often.

    How long do we have to keep voting for the lesser evil?

    Until you can get enough people in the government who want to change it. Get rid of the FPTP system then you can vote for whoever you want.

    Why is the main platform the Democrats are running on that “Trump is evil, so vote for Biden”?

    …what sane person needs more than that? We already know how bad Trump was the first time, and we know already what he and his handlers are planning for a second term. I have no idea why that’s not sufficient motivation.

    Is the strongest candidate the Democrats can provide a genocidal old man?

    Again, the alternative is Donald Fucking Trump. Is Biden the “best” choice for America? If we’re talking in terms of progress, probably not- but he’s the best choice the money behind the Democratic Party is willing to support.
