Maybe what Biden should be using his immunity

For now is destroying all classified records of spies we have in Russia or China. Trump is broke and sure as hell he'll be selling off secrets or using them to extort other world leaders. Maybe too, try to get through Congress a need to know requirement on all classified materials. And for sure call in all spies that are active now, bring them home.

You take on certain obligations when you recruit someone to spy for your nation, like "not letting them be tortured and murdered if you can help it".

Folding spycraft operation is discontinuing that aspect of sovereignty. We should not surrender in anticipation of what Trump will do. Let it fall upon Trump.

Not literally…leave him nothing. Let them figure it out. That’s how it was done before, you lose the castle you give them nothing.
They want to go back to the old times …give it to ‘em.

When they go low, we go high, and we wind up exactly where we are now.

13. They'll be Trump's spies after Jan. 20th.

The CIA and the FBI, the DHS and the NSA and all the acronym salads will be Trump's assets. What's worse is he'll be less naive about their purpose and how to use them because he's got more Flynn's and fewer Mattis' than last time. They will function more as his personal tools than last time and certainly more than their original mission's license permitted. He'll even appear adept occasionally compared to the total clown show of his previous term.

One of the more entertaining exposés will be watching him attempt to make other criminal gang governments across the globe kiss his ring. The keystone cops will seem seriously competent compared to Trump's weird cadre of misfits. I hope Europe is very strong since the fate of the Ukraine will be totally on their shoulders.

But his stupid games will be only a temporary diversion for as soon as the pieces are placed, the next phase is triggered. Vance will take over, allowing the Project 2025 societal adjustments to commence in earnest.

There will be thug rule. It will begin in apartment complexes and other mass housing venues, but by late 2026 there will be wholesale lists of "undesirables" to exercise their civil authority upon. Mostly local cops gone rogue and even less restrained than at present. The lists will come from federal sources, but the day-to-day enforcers will be the men and women dressed in blue, riding in shiny police cruisers. We'll know it's really too late when night patrols in armored personnel carriers are commonplace.
