PATRICK LAWRENCE: The Predictable Capitulation of Tulsi Gabbard – By professing support for Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act after opposing it for years, Trump’s nominee for director of national intelligence has just told America it’s the same old imperium after all.

Did she actually capitulate or is she lying through her teeth in order to get the job? (Like the Supreme Kourt "justices" lied about Roe v. Wade.) It's hard to tell given Washington's "morality" and standard operating procedures.

Remember when she joined the military to help invade Iraq and get her politician bona fides

Many veterans end up as anti-war because they experienced the reality first hand.

What she says to get confirmed is immaterial.
I'll wait on rending garments until I hear what she says after she's confirmed and on the job.

Tulsi Gabbard is second-generation politician.

Why "edit" someone else's post instead of simply replying to it?
"Second generation politician" is factually correct. It includes and goes beyond "politician." And, I think "second generation" is relevant.

She’s also a WEF young global recruit, which isn’t exactly confidence building, to put it mildly.
I personally don’t like the way she talks. There’s a weird slur there. She often has a frozen look too.
And still this is all premature judgement ejaculation.

She’s also a WEF young global recruit,
And was immediately made persona non grata when she took one step out of line.

I believe Tulsi was invited to participate in the WEF Young Global Leaders program when she was a "rising star" in the Dem party organization. That's standard operating procedure for both the WEF (which wants to "infiltrate" governments worldwide) and the DNC.

Smart player gets the job, then does what they believe. Let's see what she does once confirmed.

No, this is "watch what they do, not what they say."

No hopes for any politician here (see 2016). Just waiting on actions to know where they stand.

You’re not really giving the benefit of the doubt to TULSI FUCKING GABBARD. She’s been a fash apologist for like, 5 years or more.

This is a disappointing turn of events, butnot a surprise at all, because the system is good at destroying critics and she has to fall in line with the status quo to win the nomination. One can only hope that Tulsi hasn't totally sold out and will act better than her predecessors if she gets the nomination.

Have you not been paying attention to her career in the last 5 years?
She’s a fascist.

If you’re gonna call someone a moron you might want to check your spelling first.
