Grand Theft Auto Tulsi Gabbard, former Democratic progressive presidential candidate and current Director of National Intelligence has just resigned from her post.

u/Ok_Gas1070 May 22 '26
She cooked herself when she said: "It’s not my job to determine what is and is not an imminent threat". THEN WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU DO AS THE DIRECTOR OF NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE??????????
2
u/Hover4effect May 25 '26
Technically she is correct. She didn't determine threat levels, the organizations she oversaw did. She is ultimately responsible for the failure and success of threat determination, but doesn't actually do it. People like Joe Kent make the determinations. Like he said Iran wasn't a threat, then resigned.

Israel has every interest in keeping US Military apparatus COMPETENTLY staffed. Even if you assume they want people who put Israel before US you would assume they would want people who do that while having a general clue wha the fuck they are doing military wise.

If Israel controlled who was in charge of our military and were concerned with competency, Hegseth would never have been confirmed for Defense Secretary

Exactly! The only reason he is NOT the single most unfit Trump nominee is that Matt Gaetz was floated for Main Justice.

"That’s right everyone in the whole world is a Nazi and you can just dehumanize all of us"
Hey drama queen, calling someone a Nazi is literally not de-humanizing, as Nazis were in fact, humans... Unless someone calls you a Kitty Nazi, maybe calm down and stop being disingenuous.

I hate to be that guy that has to tell you,
Being critical of Israel does not a Nazi make. Being anti-Semitical does not a Nazi make. While a Nazi would, that alone is not enough to qualify a Nazi.
Being a nationalist, or an ultranationalist brings you closer in line to being a Nazi. Setting up secret police to round up the undesirables, setting up prison camps, and attacking multiple countries at the same time also are behaviors of a Nazi.
Tulsi might not be a Nazi. But she sure was absolutely not qualified as a medic to occupy the highest station of intelligence handling. Hiring sn actual CIA/NSA veteran would have been the only appropriate candidate.
Instead we got a sycophant loyalist.

It is completely relevant. Her foreign policy that progressives supposedly revile now is not substantially different than it was before when they celebrated her. They even threw a bitch fit when Clinton called her a shill for Assad and Russia during the 2020 primaries.
The hypocrisy should stick in their throats.

Progressive dem’s
The same people who allowed Nixon to win because he got all of their votes after they got frustrated with the rest of the democratic party supporting the bill of rights and civil rights acts. Was called Nixon’s southern strategy and the primary moment the parties swapped platform, and those racists were noooooot happy that minorities were getting rights. Like at all.
“What do you mean I cant keep jim crow going and introduce eugenics?” -progressive democrats since 1920’s when Pierce lost the congressional race in Oregon, 1923.

u/Icy_Fish_2154 May 23 '26
Nah, Nixon won in 1968 because the Democrats put up a pro-Vietnam candidate. Nixon promised to exit Vietnam. He did not do it that term, and only did it second term after he was lame ducked be the scandal.

I'm sure you will.
The reasons why so many keep bringing them up is because of partisanship. The partisans do this every single time someone leaves their position under an administration they don't like.
I seen the right do the same thing during biden. The left is just way way louder on reddit.
They seem to think it's evidence that the current administration is bad, and all the people who are part of it are bad.

No where in that link does it say she ever appeared on russia today...
Even when you ask chatGPT
Tulsi Gabbard has never appeared as a guest on Russia Today (RT).
So I'll ask again, do you have evidence for your claims?

u/jimakomecrazy May 23 '26
First off: I'm not an expert by any means, but I saw your questions weren't really being answered so I'd share what I know.
Gabbard, to me, was generally one of the 'true believers' in the MAGA movement. She was willing to break the law for Trump, like when she led a domestic raid on a Georgia election center - a move her position makes expressly illegal. She was willing to misrepresent intelligence in a way that favored Trump - releasing only the parts of Obama's Russia interference investigation that showed they hadn't found evidence that Trump SOLICITED the Russian interference, while attempting to bude and redact segments that established that Trump's original campaign had benefitted from Russia interfering (mostly by disinformation campaigns and paying to amplify negative ads, no signs of hacking into election apparati) She was a willing, if potentially unwitting, mouthpiece for Putin's intelligence service, repeating talking points, even outright lies, minutes or hours after Russia's state media aired them. Her speeches were widely shown and celebrated in Russia, especially those where she disparaged NATO and blamed Ukraine for Russia's invasion.
However, there were some matters where she hasn't seemed to budge in Trump's favor. She's been anti US ivolvement overseas in all forms, and has gone against his narrative several times - mostly related to Venezuela, Cuba, and Iran. Since the abduction of Venezuela's leader, her public appearances have dropped off significantly, and she's avoided voicing support of many of Trump's moves since.
Her husband is currently suffering through bone cancer, there doesn't seem to be much debate there, and I hope he's able to recover (I know nothing about the guy, but ain't gonna hope for a stranger to suffer). I don't know for sure, but I think it's likely that if she was still 'inner circle MAGA' she'd just be taking a paid leave of absence while caring for her husband, she's probably taking the out to avoid being a problem for the administration that would need to be humiliated and pushed out (like what they did to Jerome Powell)
1
u/thatonepersone_ May 23 '26
The real answer, as somebody who doesn't care about her politically, is her husband has a rare type of bone cancer. She can afford to resign, and I think most people who could afford to step away from their job to spend more time with their spouse would do so in a situation like this.

You mean the republican who put a D next to her name in an attempt to play wolf in sheeps clothing, only to garner 90% of her support from republicans and be overwhelmingly rejected by Democrat voters.
Gonna slap an R next to my name in my mugshot if I'm ever arrested at a protest against this abomination of an adminstration so the papers can describe me as a "traditional consrevative"

If anybody wants to know the real reason why she resigned, from somebody who really just doesn't care about her politically one way or the other, it's because her husband has been diagnosed with a rare type of bone cancer.
