    I’m all for the intel gathering side of it. But the active side? No, fuck that shit.

    And if we have to lose the intel gathering side to get rid of the dumbasses who think they’re James Bond? Then oh well. The intel gathering hasn’t had the best track record either.

      Cool, let’s get rid of the FBI and the NSA too. And also the Pentagon.

        The FBI actually has a role they fulfil. They do it badly, and need massive reforms, but they do have a role. I’d even expand their domestic terror investigations. And re-open their office on right-wing domestic terror that was closed in 2009.

        The NSA should be the “keep other countries from spying on us” agency. They’ve instead decided that the best defense is an all encompassing offense. They need a reset.

        And the pentagon is the headquarters of the military. A sadly needed thing, especially with China and Russia being all imperialist these days. The only thing either country fears is an all out war with the US. Mostly because it would mean the end of most life on earth. (Some of the Southern Hemisphere would be virtually untouched, so it’s not all life)

        That doesn’t mean I want any of it in Trump’s hands again, but those three organizations do have roles that they should be fulfilling.

          Are they also going to put themselves in prison?
