Believing that Tulsi Gabbard — longtime Russian asset and newly confirmed Director of National Intelligence — is acting in the interests of the United States requires an extraordinary level of self-delusion.

You just have to threaten a few Republican Senators with bodily harm. It’s easier than you think, especially after you swing open the prison doors. If we think our elected officials have courage, think again. 😱
Watching the contortionistic explanations, they give that swerve around the destruction he is rendering is mind boggling ... Denial is a dangerous thing in humans, driven by a fear so big we cannot even fathom it ...
Essentially no developed country in the world accept full-time immigrants from the U.S. these days, not without secondary means, such as dual citizenship or a spouse with citizenship. I've come to learn this the VERY hard way.
Half of Congress & a third of our population are diehard racist Nazi Fascists. With grifting, self serving power & hate as their driving motivations, our government, democracy of equal justice for all are being buried in a 6 foot deep grave. Fucking unbelievable!!!
Unbelievable these Republicans KNOW dam will she is NOT qualified! But this is blood on their hands! I pray we Americans aren’t collateral damage cuz of these non qualified FREAKS!
Oh, Republicans no better but they would rather put the country in the hands of our adversaries than lose the job they have now advocated. Somebody do something, anything.
I wish people would back up these statements with something. All I hear is a lot of name calling. But nothing in my feed on what she’s done. If we can’t do better than name calling, our party is cooked.
I’m not the one calling her names. If you want me to despise her tell me why. Otherwise it’s just a lot of entitlement from the democrats. You expect me to hate on her but you don’t tell me why.
We’re so removed from the facts and truth that I don’t know who to trust. Do I believe the Dem narrative or do I believe Tulsi? I side with the Dems on most domestic issues, but on the int’l front it’s not so clear. Maybe we should focus on domestic policy as the “she’s a traitor” doesn’t resonate.
This is a very good article. Thank you for sharing. It says over and over that she improve to conspiracy theories. Many Americans are prone to them too. They feel that the US has become the world’s biggest warmonger and that Dems are owned by it and are profiting from it as a party.
It’s is the penultimate example of them believing whatever Trump says. Amazingly the MAGA base is all over X accusing anyone that votes against his nominees of treason. X is like locking yourself in a closet just to sniff their own farts. It’s not just an echo chamber, it’s toxic and dangerous.
Speaks volumes for who's interests her boss is looking after. Why did he have rooms full of secret documents? It is looking increasingly bad for the West. Without oversight, who is going to stop them?
Also, believing that Trump, longtime Russian asset and newly elected POTUS is acting in the best interests of the US requires and extraordinary level of self delusion.
Screw national security and the welfare of Americans; at least the Republican snowflakes won't have to hear Donald Trump saying bad things about them and Elon giving their primary opponent big bucks.
Gabbard is the clearest evidence yet that Senate Republicans have decided to fully give in to Trump and to autocratic rule in America. The only remaining question is what can stop them?
If people by now? don’t understand that Putin is behind what is happening in America I don’t know what to tell them.
Elon is deconstructing the government and Trump is funnelling the government‘s money to the oligarchs. They are taking control of the media. It’s a lot of Putin’s playbook.
Trump has now successfully installed the Deep State. Soon enough all these appointees will finish getting rid of anyone competent in their departments and install unquestioning yes men - they'll be only white men, no minorities.
Can you tell me, Trump is about to sell-out the Ukranians to Russia. He knows without America's backing, Putin will walk all over Ukraine. Part of the 'deal' will be Putin selling Ukraines mineral resources cheap to Trump.
Is this what the American people want? A world without any morality?
T fear of Elon's 💲 & trump's mob has destroyed t country. Pple need to organize & not spend money & come together...those 2 things, people r spending & r divided has blinded folks from their real power! That's why you haven't heard a single politician say stop spending! T rich need t poor to spend!
So, I’m thinking Putin told Trumpkin to weaken our government and other agencies by creating chaos through DOGE, hiring misfits/loyalist and breaking down all alliances with our allies while infuriating our enemies to the point of aggression and more all while dividing our nation. I give it ~ 12mo.
That is why some in Bernie’s camp (who were Russian assets, worked so hard to destroy Hillary’s chance. ) They knew Hillary was onto Tulsi and the others.
America is no longer safe. When the first terrorist attack happens, put the blame squarely on your Senator(s) if he/she/they voted to confirm Tulsi Gabbard!
The GOP knows who she is and she works for. They do too. This is what everyone voted for who didn’t vote for Harris (like Clinton before her).
Sure, many of them rationalize it to themselves, but that was their choice.
Y'all do understand not being at war with Russia is a benefit right??? NATO is an evil expansionist power designed to destabilize the eastern block of nations.
The fact that she is a member of at least 2 cults & appears to be a complete whackadoodle means that the ticker on the life expectancy of democracy just started counting down a lot faster!!!
It's a joke and a slap in the face to all Americans....I believe these are promises being kept that were made a long time ago to ease Putin's takeover...
2025 Left posts look weirdly like 2008 Right posts. You don't even need to change the name for this one. Gabbard was a Democrat for over 20 years. She's been a Republican for less than 20 weeks.
Republicans continue to cause harm to the country and their constituents as long as they think it serves their personal best interest. "Me me me" is their mantra. "Me me me"
No one will share anything with us. And career intelligence officers will likely not share either. America is about to be in the outside looking in, and I doubt we'll ever get the same seat at the table ever again.
We are officially a clown nation, unserious, untrustworthy, a joke. And we are ruled by not one but two killer clowns. Mao, Hitler, Stalin, all killer clowns. We have two—one of whom killed a million of US last time he had the chance, without giving a fart’s worth of thought.
Voting for the newly confirmed president of US requires an extraordinary level of self-delusion.
It's all connected. It won't be Putin who ends the world, it will be the complicit Western govs.
The trump admin isn’t valid, it’s a Russian puppet operation- none of their orders are valid and tulsi isn’t the director of anything. I hope someone has the courage to attack her the private citizen. She deserves to feel the full force
And if we know anything at this point in the game, it is that people who voted for Trump and everything he stands for have a remarkable gift for self delusion.
I am always open to new ideas. But you will find, my interest and intent is more focused on annoying liberals and leftists than anything more substantive. Feel free to review my reply history.
Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, and Benjamin Netanyahu. Together, they form an unholy trinity, their combined power and influence posing an unprecedented threat to the stability of the world.
Nikita Krushchev said “We will bury you!” A Parliament speech in the Soviet Union.With our DNI,DoD and intelligence agencies compromised!
About 61 years but he’s proving
himself a Dead-Savant!
The elevation of Gabbard proves that Trump, the Republican Party, and his followers are domestic enemies. There is no longer any room to rationalize, excuse or quibble, Donald Trump and the Republican Party are at war with the United States of America.
The bigger question is.....why would you risk her? There are 50 Magats who could fill this spot. So he is forcing her in because people side no to him?
WHAT OTHER RECOURSE DO WE HAVE NOW OTHER THAN A JUNTA GOVT TO JAIL TRUMP AND HIS CABINET OF TRAITORS? WHAT OTHER CHOICE DO WE HAVE? IN THIS CASE A WRONG WILL MAKE A RIGHT. HISTORY WILL FORGIVE US FOR THIS, BUT AT THIS POINT IT IS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY IN ORDER TO TAKE BACK OUR GOVT FROM FASCISTS!!!!!
Many Americans are so discontented and unfulfilled with their lives, that they would rather see our government go topsy-turvy just so they can feel accomplished and important.
Grüß Gott! I'm speaking about GOP (Republican) Senator Susan Collins from the state of Maine. Once considered a "moderate", like the other GOP senators she apparently fears retaining her seat in the next election instead of voting for what she must know is correct. Gruss aus Colorado, Tom S.
I was comparing the U.S. Congress to the Reichstag under Hitler, because both houses of the U.S. congress are currently controlled by the GOP and they have voted for anything Trump wishes.
There is no publicly available evidence to support the claim that Tulsi Gabbard was or is a Russian asset. The accusation is based on speculation, political disagreements, and her unconventional foreign policy positions rather than concrete proof of ties to the Russian government.
No U.S. intelligence agency or credible investigation has classified Gabbard as a Russian asset. The term "asset" in intelligence contexts typically refers to someone who is knowingly or unknowingly working on behalf of a foreign government, and no such evidence has been publicly confirmed.
They are all Russian assets. Hegsack just announced they likely gonna pull out of Ukraine and let Russia keep the areas they invaded. This is crazy. Didn’t we fight the Cold War at one time? Wasn’t “commie” a bad thing at one time?
It was the Rs who removed the ability for Representatives to vote remotely or by proxy so they have to be there in person so make it so they can’t leave their homes
These Rs cried when restaurants refused to serve them so what the public should do is camp outside their houses so they can’t leave. Then introduce legislation, hell, even replace the Speaker whilst they’re not there to vote
So does voting for tRump but cultism is what it is. That insane televangelist with an office in the WH is likely a bigger risk than lil Tulsi the Operative.
Nobody in positions of power in the US are acting in the interests of the people of the US. They’re carrying out a plan to dismantle our democracy. It’s a massive coup d’etat being helmed by the neo-reactionary tech billionaires
It all makes sense when you realize that Trump views half of America as the biggest enemy, followed by our Allies. The Silicon Valley oligarchs view a functioning US government as the enemy.
REPUB SAVE ACT:All married women must show u gotCOURT order 2change your name. Marriage license WILL NOT B ACCEPTED. If your ID name does NOT match birth cert&u never went2court legally change name U CAN NO LONGER VOTE! Major repubs in congress are ready to pass!
it was a common tradition since 1700s - women in USA took their husband surname. Changed 1970s. Hilary Rodham-Clinton 1st ever First Lady had her name w husbands hyphenated. Repubs REFUSE 2 do the 2 names. Biden wife a EDU DR- repubs refused 2 call her Dr Jill Biden repubs= MISOGYNY
history is 1920 USA women got right2vote. 12 yrs after UK.2 yrs after Germany gave women vote 1918. Hitler admin did SAME EXACT THING USA REpubs TRYING TO DO TODAY! No need 4 women to vote. Keep them pregnant! Took 40 yrs for Germany to gain trust & respect from other nations. US is headed 4 same
The situation in US is very sad, we from abroad look at this change, but we dont't see details.
Keep them pregnant, send them back to the kitchen is a move, forced by nazis in 1933-45. Please resist and stand up for your rights, in Germany we have big demonstrations on the streets against 2 parties
We have big USA protests but 2many things2protest. Monday kids marched out of schools opposing migrant mistreatment by trump admin. Tuesday all Democratic elected leaders had phone townhalls across USA Gave info of plan of fight. Obstacle/Block. Mobilize. Litigate. 55 lawsuits in 3 weeks vs trump
It's sad for the people, who were involved/injured and forced to see it.
Only the extreme right wing party (20%) will have a profit of it (Musk has smalltalk with its leader Weidel on X some weeks ago, absolutely frightening with lies and fairy tales).
The Republican/Trump/Musk Cult Party has sold us out to dictatorship. Very soon now we will not be able to type these words without getting arrested and persecuted kinda like Iran.
Climate Change Hell will be a real hell after President Musk dissolves PEMA.
Yet Collins & Murkowski voted for her. I want details on why. Not guesses. They are now maga & need to be referred to as maga. Let’s hear their reasoning on this. We can better combat maga if we understand why so called moderate Republicans caved so easily. What tactics were used to convince them?
Comments
*1%ers obviously excluded from this.
1) To keep the country safe and
2) keep themselves on the right side of the law in case she gets charged after Trump is out of power.
But for everybody else she is a Russian asset
But that’s true for Trump and Musk too
So they call tulsi their Girl?
WORKING CLASS OF AMERICA MUST UNITE! WE PROTEST AND DO WHAT WE CAN FOR DEMOCRACY AND OUR COLLECTIVE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS!

Is this what the American people want? A world without any morality?
Republicans in the United States Senate with the exception of Mitch McConnell have SOLD OUT THEIR COUNTRY TO THE ENEMY!
They & their families will FOREVER be REMEMBERED as TRAITORS TO OUR DEMOCRACY.
ru$$ia, mafia-terrorist gang, is here.

They've literally followed the Entire Nazi Playbook up till now.
Our protectors are Honorless, America must protect itself.
Sure, many of them rationalize it to themselves, but that was their choice.
Well, that and whole bottles of spine remover.
This will end badly.
It's all connected. It won't be Putin who ends the world, it will be the complicit Western govs.
Alexander Dugin explained the method in 2014.

Europe really needs to cut the United States off. Right now. And a replacement organization for NATO needs to be established. RIGHT NOW.
This is looking like a game board for WWII, except the United States is now playing the roll of Nazi Germany.

All republikkkans need to be removed at this point.

If those countries have half a brain, they will suspend both.
Waiting to hear which countries will refuse Trump's ambassadorial appointments. Or are they, much like the GOP Senate, lacking spines?

I did not (in Germany), it was an advantage after divorse 😉, because I didn't need to order new passport/driving lisence ...
It seems to be a law to ban women from election ...

The election will take place on 2-23-2025.
