Gabbard is going to be compartmentalized. They're never going to let her near anything that matters.
I wish you were right.
For awhile. There's four years of purging and loyalty tests available to wear down institutional resistance.
Considering Gabbard's history, by 2028, Putin will know what our intelligence community knows before Trump does.
Trump will never know it because he can't sit through the briefings. He prefers to get his info from Fox.
Mr Trump’s request for numerous graphics may be a reflection of his longtime career as a real estate developer, where he evaluated building designs to visualise what the property would ultimately look like.
🙄 Yeah, I’m sure that’s the explanation.
I was going to say that it's because Trump can't read.
They have 19 year olds named big balls gaining access to all our information. You think she is going to have problems accessing information. Ha ha ha.
You know who else said exactly that? The people who made Hitler chancellor.

You have way too much faith in a collapsing government.
Any basis whatsoever to your comment?
with only Sen. Mitch McConnell breaking GOP ranks to oppose her
Oh so NOW you're worried, it would seem, about your legacy and whether you stood against fascism?
Mitch McConnell, you will always be remembered for obstructing, gaslighting, packing the SCOTUS with toadies, and then flip-flopping on impeachment and accountability for your party, the insurrection, and enabling the orange menace to return to power. Forever. People will piss on your grave, and they will be justified.
TOO LATE.
"On this new level you live, you have been living more comfortably every day, with new morals, new principles. You have accepted things you would not have accepted five years ago, a year ago, things that your father, even in Germany, could not have imagined."
"Now you live in a system which rules without responsibility even to God. The system itself could not have intended this in the beginning, but in order to sustain itself it was compelled to go all the way."
"I think that all the explanations leave some mystery. When I think of it at all, I still say, with unbelief, 'Germany—no, not Germany.'"

She is literally a Russian asset, and now she's going to be our top intel official. We're fucked.

Wild watching the dumbest reactionaries on the internet get everything they ever wanted.
You'd think after Brexit, after the first Trump term, they'd have re-evaluated their pre-existing beliefs.
It's like the worse their outcomes are the more certain that they are correct. It's almost a coping mechanism.

I agree with McConnell? Yuck.
He only voted "no" because he knew it wouldn't make a difference, and this way he gets to pretend like he's a reasonable person.
From Clickhole :
For the record I also despise the old turtle man.
I never agreed with him, but he's at least an American. Maybe not the same ideals, but it's clear he has some standards.
Always thought John McCain would be the last person I said that about.
Fuck McConnell. He played an enormous role in making this bed that we're all forced to lie in now. No quarter.
No quarter.
unless there is a "hang" and a "draw" in front of it.
he’s at least an American
He's not really. He fell in line, eventually, behind Trump's attempted coup the first time around. He's been undermining the American system for decades. And, in traditional fashion, now that all the walls and pillars he's been systematically knocking out are starting to affect his living room, it's all of a sudden a problem.
I will agree with you that the people who are still voting for Trump's stuff are more stupid. They're still knocking stuff out, and it'll come back around on them pretty quickly. But McConnell certainly doesn't get a pass for any of it. He's not American, he just doesn't want him to be the one getting hauled out in the street by the mob or Trotskyed, and he's still sharp enough to see that on the horizon now.
”FIRST THINGS FIRST! ROUND UP ALL OF THE DALMATIONS!!!”, shrieked Gabbard.
Welcome, American Oblast!
This makes me sad.
Hold onto your chairs folks. It's going to be kinda bumpy from now on. And not in a good way.
Shouldn't "intelligence" be in quotes for her position?
Ha ha ha this is ridiculous. What complete fools.
Imagine not being excited for the destruction of the US empire.
Imagine pretending that you won't be first in front of the firing squad, "queermunist." If it gets as bad as it can get, you'll never have a chance to celebrate the "destruction of the US empire."
No one is going to be lined up for a firing squad because of Tulsi Gabbard. She's just going to ruin the US intelligence community, which is easily one of the most evil institutions on Earth. This is literally the only good nomination, she's perfect.
I'm more worried about the dipshits running the FDA and HHS into the ground ensuring bird flu becomes pandemic. How long until they make raw milk mandatory in school lunches? 🤮
I didn't say it would be specifically because of Tulsi, what I'm saying is that when a country like this one implodes, people in targeted minority groups end up on the receiving end of violence.
Fucking accelerationists, always pretending they won't suffer when everyone else does. On behalf of my trans son and my gay daughter, fuck them all for celebrating the destruction of the country my kids (currently) live in, kids who will inevitably be on the receiving end of hate.
Naive fucking idiots.

An unsurprisingly dumb take by a tankie. Nothing happens in a vacuum. Having batshit people heading the American government is going to negatively affect more than just the US.
Accelerationist trash.
