Of course, if they’re in the army, can’t they be executed for treason and the like?

From the way they are acting, they clearly don’t seriously think there will ever be a chance of them losing power, so they probably will go for it.

Of course, they’re probably also fully aware that if the Democrats ever DO regain power, they will trip all over themselves to “let bygones be bygones” and restore the filibuster for the Republicans to use.

Sure, they could, and probably should. But evidence suggests they won’t. So what’s the point of them spying on him? They’ll collect a bunch of information and do nothing about it.

But you can be sure that the spy agencies are watching him. He's already too powerful for comfort, and it's their job to spy on people like him.

And do what? It was very clear that if Trump got elected he’d take a wrecking ball to the country that we will probably never recover from, at the behest of a hostile foreign leader he’s been openly conspiring with for decades. What exactly did they did to stop him?

Looks like they may need to destroy a few more government agencies that collect and distribute labor statistics. That will solve it.

Somebody has to dare him to prove it, and maybe he'll show how he rigged the voting counts in the swing states.

I just went to a conference in Hawaii, which is usually a very popular, but half the poster boards were bare. I saw multiple recorded talks because the speakers were denied entry visas, including one of the opening keynote speakers.
