Election 2024

[Serryah]

From the outside looking in, I’m glad to see that Tulsi Gabbard is in the cabinet (or whatever they call it on the American side). She seems to really have her stuff together.

(President-elect Donald Trump said Wednesday he’s selected former Democratic congresswoman-turned Trump supporter Tulsi Gabbard as his pick to be director of national intelligence)

Yes, because there's NO conflict of interest with the Russian puppet being in Cabinet as Director of National Intelligence.

Yes, because there's NO conflict of interest with the Russian puppet being in Cabinet as Director of National Intelligence.

But will she report to the head of the FS(KG)B or the head of the GRU?

Good question. Likely FS(KG)B. But who knows.

Good point. SexDef nominee Hogshit will be responsible for reporting to the GRU.

Why not Trump is apparently a Russian asset as well

Yeah, stupid, vain, and desperate for attention makes a body an easy mark.

Ah…yes. "Thank you @HillaryClinton. You, the queen of warmongers, embodiment of corruption, and personification of the rot that has sickened the Democratic Party for so long, have finally come out from behind the curtain," she (Gabbard) tweeted.

"From the day I announced my candidacy, there has been a concerted campaign to destroy my reputation," she added. "We wondered who was behind it and why. Now we know — it was always you, through your proxies and powerful allies in the corporate media and war machine, afraid of the threat I pose."

Good question. Likely FS(KG)B. But who knows.

Well, it probably won’t be to the Clinton Foundation. “I can no longer remain in today’s Democratic Party that is now under the complete control of an elitist cabal of warmongers driven by cowardly wokeness.” She also accused the party of stoking “anti-white racism”.

Good point. SexDef nominee Hogshit will be responsible for reporting to the GRU.

Time and time again, she has been critical of and has diverged from the US Intelligence Community’s decisions. She (Gabbard) has largely taken an anti-interventionist stance. In other words, she has advocated for the US to stay uninvolved when it comes to conflicts around the world.

Remember, all the best people, even better than last time!

Yep, she seems like a real monster.

Here’s your argument against her appointment to save some Googling:

In 2022, she stated that NATO and the Biden administration not taking the possibility of Ukraine joining NATO off the table may be one of the factors provoking the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

She also argued against economic sanctions on Russia on the basis that Americans would suffer from higher oil and gas prices.

Gabbard stated on Fox News that "the Washingtonpower elite" is trying to turn Ukraine into another Afghanistan.
In March 2022, she said media freedom in Russia is "not so different" from that in the United States. PolitiFact described her claim as false, noting that in Russia the government represses independent media and free speech, including imprisoning critics of the invasion of Ukraine.

The DNI (Director of national intelligence) also serves, upon invitation, as the principal advisor to the president of the United States, the National Security Council, and the Homeland Security Council on all intelligence matters.

The DNI, supported by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), produces the President's Daily Brief (PDB), a classifieddocument including intelligence from all IC agencies, handed each morning to the president of the United States.

The position was elevated to a cabinet-levelrole during the first presidency of Donald Trump, a status it has retained under President Joe Biden.
I concur that she does have some pretty radical and controversial positions.

Wouldn’t want someone like that in place to do whatever she’s going to do, or maybe every nation needs more people like her? Either way, she’s controversial.

It's OK, Tulsi. We've called the WAAAAHmbulance for you.

Another outsider is upsetting to the Arkandumpling gang.

It's OK, Tulsi. We've called the WAAAAHmbulance for you.

I wish she was one of ours, but am grateful she’s at least one of yours.

Got that whole "Cruella DeVille streak" thing goin' on.

Had a brother that had polio as a kid (10yrs older than me) but he came out the other end ok. Shitty disease.

I wonder where Gabbard will be at in 2028 or 2032? Will she end up being America’s first president (without being born with a penis, whatever the PC term is for that, at that point in time), or will she be out on her arse because she isn’t just a yes-person?

Anyway, I think she’s a good choice, from the outside looking in, for a cabinet position in either a Democrat or Republican government.

Is is a coincidence that she, like Trump, is a former-Democrat now running as a Republican? I honestly can’t say one way or another.

 

[Taxslave2]

Yes, because there's NO conflict of interest with the Russian puppet being in Cabinet as Director of National Intelligence.

Don't worry. There will be a new one January 4. that isn't.

If you like that…

You might REALLY like this. We might as well laugh while we still can. With the bumbling, scandal-riddled and unpopular Trudeau government hanging on after nine years in power, Canadians have nothing to crow about.

But Canada doesn’t matter in the world. The United States matters, and the incoming, inward-turning Trump has given every possible signal that he will do nothing to stand in the way of the United Nations’ torture-state bloc continuing its steamrolling, 17-year advance across the face of the earth.

So it’s grim, but for now at least, it’s amusing. Apart from the hilarious excuses the Democrats have been making for themselves for having been shellacked by Trump’s Republicans in the House, Senate and White House races — it’s because American voters are misogynists, racists, xenophobes and so on, they say — there’s a strong carnival sideshow vibe coming from the slew of cabinet picks Trump has been rolling out over the past few days.

It’s exactly what you would expect from a real-estate hustler from Queens, whose meteoric political ascendancy only a decade ago from within the liberal-dominated American celebrity firmament was launched from his cartoonish status as a WrestleMania host, reality-television star and tycoon endorser of such brands as Pizza Hut, Pepsi and Oreo.

In all his cameo appearances in such television shows as the “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air,” “The Nanny” and “Sex and the City,” and movies like “Two Weeks Notice,” “Home Alone 2” and “Zoolander,” Trump was pleased to play a buffoonish caricature of himself. In the appointments he’s been rolling out over the past week, Trump is still “in character,” so to speak.

You don’t need to be afflicted with “Trump derangement syndrome” to simply notice this, and you don’t need to rely on the histrionics of teary-eyed late night talk-show funnymen to pick up on the astonishment and dismay that’s accompanied Trump’s bizarre cabinet choices. Several senior Republicans are suitably aghast.

(RFK JR’s voice for me is almost as bad ‘like fingernails on a chalkboard’ as Trudeau’s)

Concerns about Trump’s character and his deportment gave Democrats hope but did not answer the public’s anti-establishment angst. Although experts predicted the election would be a tossup, Trump emerged with a thumping victory, winning the popular vote and the Electoral College handily, while leading his party victories for the White House, the Senate and presumably retaining the House.

After a tumultuous, even nasty campaign, including two assassination attempts and persistent threats from Iran, Donald Trump made a stunning comeback breaking through the Democratic “Brick Wall” of blue states in the mid-west and sweeping all seven, key battleground states.

Economic issues and immigration were top concerns for voters and, when three quarters of Americans think the country is “on the wrong track,” the incumbent has a huge problem. Trump’s pledge that he would “fix it” resonated. Hmmm….
