I would expect nothing less from this Russian agent.

Hey now that's not fair; Tulsi will sell herself to anyone willing to pay, not just exclusively Russia!

And... Hilary was right.

(not so coincidentally, that is the name of my wifi network in my red neighborhood, so it can be seen!)

“I know what I mean when I share with you that President Trump understands the grave responsibility that a president and commander-in-chief bears for every single one of our lives,” she said.

I really only have obscenities at this point. Lots of them...maybe all of them.

“I know what I mean when I share with you that President Trump understands the grave responsibility that a president and commander-in-chief bears for every single one of our lives,” she said.

...and he doesn't give single shit about any of those responsibilities or those lives. He will walk on your grandmother's face if it means saving a single step to wrap his small fingers around a can of Diet Coke sooner.

Damn we need that clown meme up in here. I remember when she was a big supporter of Bernie in 2016. So I'm guessing she was just a Putin puppet the whole time right?

I honestly thought she might be Trump's VP.

There was pretty strong evidence back then that she was on Russia's payroll.

He keeps us in his heart

Sure. Tell that to the women that he took abortion rights from, or the refugee kids that he stripped from families, or the people he tried to deny health care, or the natural disaster victims in blue states that he tried not to help because they voted for the other party, etc etc etc.

This man has never cared about anyone other than himself.

If he’s pretending to care about you, it’s because he thinks you’re a useful idiot that will get him into a position of power that he can exploit.

Fucking shocker. Russian shill endorses Russian shill

[–] [email protected] 71 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (8 children)

The timing of her endorsement was not accidental. Gabbard, a member of the Hawaii National Guard, had earlier gone to Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia with Trump to lay a wreath marking the third anniversary of the deaths of 13 American servicemen at the Abbey Gate of Kabul Airport during the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan.

I just want to remind people. You're going to hear about this in the coming weeks. When some dumb fuck tells you that the Afghan withdrawal was a disaster:

  • Ask why the 3 past Presidents kicked the can down the road (rhetorical: It was ALWAYS going to be a disaster on the ground and politically disadvantageous).

  • Ask them if they know how many total US service members died under Trump's term versus Biden's in Afghanistan. (HINT: The total deaths under Trump is SIXTY-FIVE. The total under Biden: 13)

  • Thanks to Biden, ZERO American servicemen have died in 2022, 2023, and 2024 in Afghanistan — the first 0 years since 2001.

Biden's withdrawal from Afghanistan will be praised in history books as a political sacrifice that ultimately saved more American lives in the long-run.

She is a Russian asset.

Tulsa Gabbard has the warmth, honesty and vocal tonality of Elizabeth Holmes.

good news for harris and the dems considering she endorsed like 10 candidates in 2022 and none of them won.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 2 weeks ago (9 children)

Oh, isn't she the one that's in some weird religious org that's more like a cult? I believe I listened to a podcast or two about her when she was making the rounds a couple years ago.
