I'm not a conspiracy theorist but what the president is doing is chilling. Firing the independent-minded head of our National Intelligence services so one of his minions can replace him, deprives the American people of an important advocate on our behalf. nytimes.com/2019/07/28/us/po…

President Trump said Representative John Ratcliffe of Texas, a staunch defender of the president, would replace Mr. Coats, who was an important link to the Republican establishment.

And it isn't just that; there's a pattern. It's what he did by appointing William Barr AG. Or Andrew Wheeler as head of EPA.These aren't solid conservative voices, not at all.They're people put in positions of authority in agencies where their function is basically to destroy it

Something more sinister is occurring here than the political establishment knows how to deal with. It's not that they don't sense something terribly wrong; I think they do. But they thought Mueller could get him and it didn't work. We are dealing here with a coup from within.

The heads of our national intelligence services are not supposed to be independent. The person we elect as president is their boss, not the other way around.

Of course. But the Intelligence agencies simply report their findings; the Intelligence Chief gives those findings to the president. This president disagreed with Coats because he didn't like the intel given; chooses instead someone in the position who will simply agree with him.

Marianne; Coats was a swamp creature. It’s best he’s gone. Draining the swamp. #FLYDANFLY

There are already over 150 trump appointed judges, “acting” directors, ambassadors, cronies in place. People watch the shiny distractions & forget there’s a nut behind the curtain. Laws& policies rescinded. Imploding as we tweet

United we stand; Divided we fall. Trump is orchestrating the Fall of Democracy. The people have the power and we must rise United - just like the people did in Puerto Rico.

Marianne can see very clearly the strategic sociopathic personalities and behaviour here and she knows what to do about it.

Marianne, please focus on the good you can bring to our nation at the debates. Steer clear of wasting your precious time talking about the current administration. We need your voice to be heard and taken seriously. I think we needed to see the worst to appreciate your message.
