  The CIA topples foreign governments.

  The FBI topples progressive movements within the US.

    Tbf they also target white supremacist organisations within the US.

    Targeted.

      They did not seem to be very effective…

        By targeted, they meant “targeted for recruitment”

  Yeah…and they’re being threatened too.

  I wonder if they’d ever consider the White House to be a foreign government to topple.

    When I heard about the targeted moves against the FBI by DOGE, I got to thinking that the FBI is not the sort of organization you want to anger if you have skeletons in your closet. And even if you don’t, they’ll put one there to find.

    But I’m worried we’re already at the point where the entire agency can be discredited (not entirely undeservedly) just because President Cheeto and Supreme President Musk could label any findings as “fake news” and the majority of Americans would take it as fact.

    They could be the SA to whatever SS the Trump admin wants to replace them with (the Proud Boys?)

  Yeah, this meme is just a glimpse at my external view of the events. To me the CIA, the FBI and those kind of agencies are just lumped together. Appreciated the info tho

    I mean, that nice and all but it’s objectively wrong. That’s not how alphabet agencies work.

        That’s about as clever a response as I’d expect from someone that doesn’t understand what the FBI does.
