I think it's safe to say y'all know me, I have been consistent in my opinion of Putin, Russia and Russians...I am not a juice-swilling fanboy of Vlad and believe the Russian character has a fatalistic chip in the gene...and while certain acts of theirs (chiefly arming up the slimiest regimes on the planet and acting like they should be thanked for strangling people they are extorting) the bigger threat is the axis of evil within our borders that presents a clear and present danger.

How we got from seeing the IC getting everything wrong to them being infallible...makes as much sense as the stinking hippie generation going from hating government and distrusting it and the media to totally going in the tank to co-opt it all and become what they once loathed...but they porobably all read that Satan-loving Allinsky prick too so...evil is as evil does...
And there is a lot of evil to flush...
Hopefully kicking Haspel and Wray to the curb (and any loyalists!!!) can start the purging. It will take another Trump term to make inroads...and a like successor's 2-terms to even have a chance...
Those are pretty steep odds, but it is what it is...
I prefer a more dramatic dismantling and trim-downm of government scope especially as it intrudes upon our lives and liberty...but I am a dreamer born 200 years too late...
