I mean, it's a Reddit story, so grain of salt.

But it is a very funny story

Yeah this is peak reddit story telling. I can even see the top comment: this is MORE than mildly infuriating. That's why it's posted there, engagement farming

So is this bit about some delinquent fascist with dementia who was already president once up for bid again. Also, that when he don't win, there will be a coup like when JFK was assassinated by the corporations that successfully sold it as being conducted by anyone else.

...and "bid" because let's be real. The whole shebang is a fucking auction that has sold the fucking business of "Government" to the corporations respected by allowing them to STOP PAYING %78 IN TAXES.

JFK very explicitly pissed off the CIA when he fired a bunch of the Bay of Pigs hawks and failed to escalate with Cuba after the missile crisis.

Harris isn't doing anything like that. She's fully endorsed our militarism abroad and our police state at home.

If she catches a bullet, it'll be for the same reason Trump nearly did - because he was sloppy with his security detail and they were phoning in their end of the job.

CIA is just as up for bid as the president. This is Capitalizm!
