Tulsi Gabbard... and her solid 1%.....
President Trump told two senior Russian officials in a 2017 Oval Office meeting that he was unconcerned about Moscow’s interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election because the United States did the same in other countries

stonewall preventing more information about his past breaks down completely, he could be
facing much more legal liability assuming the statute of limitations has not
passed on some of them.


I think he would skip the country and try to foment civil war if it were headed in that direction. He's not going to go away quietly no matter what.


You raise an interesting possibility re skipping the country. Can you imagine if he were to
skip the country hypothetically say for Moscow in Air Force One?

One wonders what measures might be under consideration by intelligence/law enforcement
now or going forward that would ensure that this could not happen.


With the nuclear football...

That said yeah, um, he can’t actually fly the plane. You’d hope the pilot would simply say no.

If Tulsi runs as an independent its basically a lock that she’s working for the GOP/Trump. You’d have to be a complete idiot to not see through her whole charade

I heard a rumor from a friend a month back that Tulsi was receiving money from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) from India - the same one as Modi, the prime minister of India.

Although it does appear that she has a of bots supporting her online, similar to the Russian ones that support Trump.

Not only has Tulsi been appearing on Fox News but also the Rising the Hill with Krystal Ball and they also appeared to be against impeachment inquiry (she eventually flipped flop on this because she is getting primaried ). She was also telegraphing an attack at Warren in that interview which Warren did a good job at defusing. And now Tulsi is claiming the election is rigged because CNN went to a commercial when Tulsi was trying to attack Warren. I think Tulsi very well could have been trying to position herself as a VP for either Biden or Sanders, especially since she attacked Kamala Harris out of nowhere. Although she does seem pretty toxic and I doubt either one would choose her.

And it just came to me that Hillary Clinton is probably upset with Tulsi because in the debates she took out Harris. The connection is that Kamala's sister, Maya, was one of the leads in charge of the Hillary Clinton campaign and is also serving as the campaign chairwoman for Hillary Clinton. Tulsi also served as the vice chair of the DNC, and chose to withdraw because she felt that the DNC was rigged. BTW, Tulsi's position of the DNC being rigged was also said to be true by Elizabeth Warren.

I will say that if Hillary has inside info on Gabbard wanting to run as a 3rd party candidate, then good for HRC for getting this out there.


Damn! You really are an idiot.

there's no picking sides on this one. both are in the wrong. there used to be a time where voters complained about politicians across the board. now there's an instinct to pick sides when politicians squabble between themselves.

clinton is irrelevant and 1% gabbard is too. why even pay them any mind? even if gabbard was a russian asset, they backed a dud of a candidate. who cares? let the watchdogs monitor the situation, life's too short.

Van's not a Russian asset.

I just don't hold his opinion in high regard due to some his past statements.

Are we sure that he couldn't find a toady to do that? I wish I could be more confident but
hopefully you're right. Yeah, the nuclear football. Can you imagine?

I'm a bit confused about Tulsi. I have a good friend, very smart/liberal/antiwar who likes her.
I generally trust his opinions.

I hear this Syria stuff ie she likes Assad and wonder if that's a smear. IDK.

I mean I agree - both of them can **** off. If Tulsi plans to be the next Jill Stein, though, it could be a problem.

I mean Tulsi did endorse Clinton over Trump in 2016. It would certainly be a weird trajectory for her not to support the next nominee.
