Bingo.. you're gonna get downvoted as fuck.. and so am I.
I fucking pray, that I am wrong.. I want to be wrong so fucking badly.
But, from what we've seen with the secret Assad meeting, to the anti-ukrainian sentiment, I don't think I will be, but I fucking hope I am wrong.
Anti -ukrainian ? The most corrupt country in Europe that banned all the opposition parties, the media, the church, the Russian language, half of the army captured by Nazis? That Ukraine? She'd have never let the war in the first place and wouldn't have allowed the west to sabotage the deal between Russia and Ukraine as early as 2022. Don't fall for Clinton propaganda - and don't be ignoramus
Ukraine is corrupt, yes.. not a perfect country.
Did they ever invade anyone else? no.
Did they ban all opposition parties? no (you are lying here) They have banned parties that are pro-russian, because they are fighting a war against that country. This is because russia has imperialist ambitions of bringing ukraine into the russian federation. The same is happening now in Georgia (the country not the state)
They also did not ban the russian language, you lied again.. This is actually extremely wrong and also funny, half of my ukrainian family mostly speak russian together (in ukraine, in case you're wondering and the language is never gonna be banned, they might not prefer to use it after the full scale invasion tho)
also they didn't ban the church wtf?
Wtf this is all just lies.
HAHAHAH clinton propaganda? wow... the clintons are in charge now?
It was Trump that let putin amass thousands of troops in the donbas/luhansk from 17-21
What do they have to gain by betraying the American people? No, really? Donald Trump stands atop the world right now, is there a higher position? His enemies threw literally everything they had at him, he still won. Putin also threw everything he had at Ukraine, not very effective; also he tried to influence the election of Moldova 🇲🇩 and still the people voted against him. The Boogey man is gone;
Trump knows America and the west could force him into submission, but at what cost? To denazifi Germany and Japan it took total war and nukes, is that worth it?
Lotta people on this sub were saying this morning that Tulsi made a huge mistake waking away from her "seat at the table" with the DNC, that her political career is over, that she made a huge error, etc. You know those hater types.
Now that she's going to be head of the intelligence community, giving the president his daily briefing every morning... I'm totally vindicated. I have concerns about other appointments, but this is actually tremendous.
I think what we are seeing is him "paying back" Miriam Adelson with Israel firsters in the Positions that are directed by the President, and then we'll see him put more patriotic America first loyalists in the positions that direct him, like the DNI.
I have no idea how anyone could still have faith that the anti interventionist wing that got him elected was anything more than a bullshit smoke screen looking at his SOS and national security advisor.
This looks like neocon Bush era 2.0 and war with Iran. I certainly hope your faith is correct and I’m wrong.
The one and only pick on the foreign policy side that isn’t an Israel first Warhawk.
What I’m saying isn’t remotely unreasonable. Tulsi is the only non interventionist appointee outside of RFK who has nothing at all to do with foreign policy.
Maybe y’all just don’t know what massive war mongers these other folks are?
Did you ever hear what he said about John Bolton? He said something like it helped his negotiating position having Bolton at his side side because everyone knew what a hawk he was. this might be someone similar. I wouldn't call it faith, just trying to be optimistic until there is clear evidence to the contrary.
Like I said I hope you are correct and I was holding out some hope, these other pick and like Mike fucking Huckabee for ambassador to Israel? He and Rubio are psychopaths imo.
"Tulsi Gabbard has put her life on the line to defend this country. People can disagree on issues, but it is outrageous for anyone to suggest that Tulsi is a foreign asset."<
Also, when defending Native American water rights at Standing Rock, the only two politicians to actually appear and demonstrate were Tulsi and Bernie. Obama did NOTHING.
Tulsi had the guts to call out the Democrats directly and leave the party. Sadly, Bernie decided to try to change things from within, where he is neither liked or appreciated.
I was a huge Bernie supporter. I've always appreciated the way she respected Sanders (resigned from the DNC and endorsed him in 2016). To me, she has always been a strong common sense candidate seeking real change while trying to be a good human being as well.
We are all works in progress. I think she was trying to do what she felt was good and right in 2016, and I think she's still trying to do the same. She certainly didn't deserve to be called a Russian asset and get kicked around by the mainstream media.
It's highly doubtful that you'll ever find a political candidate that you agree with 100% of the time.
I appreciate her support of Bernie in 2016 (which was the right thing to do) and I wish her nothing but success in her new appointment.
There's growth and regression. The candidate who campaigned on equity, wealth redistribution, the right to protest, access to healthcare, regulation on our corporate oligarchs, access to higher education, and DACA who then endorsed the guy who is the exact opposite of all of that did the former.
If you like who she is now, fine, but don't wax poetic about the Tulsi who stood up for indigenous rights and the people protesting for them when she's the exact opposite now.
I would think she's still quite happy to have campaigned on all of those positions. Believe it or not, I think there are people who voted for Trump who want everyone to have healthcare, access to education, higher wages, etc. It's just a very different path and different priorities.
I believe she endorsed Trump for many reasons, but mainly because he's perceived as an anti-war candidate. Unnecessarily getting involved in war is an issue that's always been at the heart of her beliefs. If your society is being crushed under inflation, debt, and being pulled into supporting unnecessary wars.... how can you ever hope to offer significant societal improvements such as healthcare and education?
I'm 100% for healthcare-for-all and tuition free higher education. I'm still a Bernie supporter. And I also wish Tulsi Gabbard success in her new position.
Your platitudes are meaningless. Trump is taking us in the opposite direction of every one of those platforms, regardless of what his ill-informed voters think he is going to do.
That's why there's an election every four years. Truly a shame the Democrats pushed Hillary in 2016, rammed through a senile buffoon in 2020 (who didn't know how to step aside), and quickly threw together Kamala Chameleon in 2024.
This is amazingly hilarious. Well, I guess the US had it coming, seeing as how we've messed with other countries for decades.
I hope you guys are paying special attention.... the incoming administration is going to be the start of the US's decline as a preeminent superpower. Sure we'll still have lots of tanks and guns and nukes, but our NATO allies will quickly learn that our intelligence apparatus (under Tulsi and Trump) is compromised. After they back away from us (not being able to trust us) we'll get marginalized.
I'm going to say that 2 years in we'll be coordinating with Putin and pressuring (if not threatening) countries like Poland.
This is a wild prediction but 3-4 years in China will have no reason to worry about our interference and I think they blockade Taiwan. It is still a strategic asset for the USA but Putin will assure Trump that he'll be able to make a deal to keep chips being imported here.
Buckle up, folks. The era of American excellence is about to take a very long nose dive.
You're totally clueless if you think the last 4 years have been "American excellence." Clueless or gaslighting. Actually probably some pathetic combination of the two.
The last 4 years have been stable (domestically, anyway). I'd be very hard pressed to name a scandal or misstep of the administration's making that has caused serious problems for the public at large.
That is all about to go out the window. I vividly remember Mr. Orange guy's first term. That time there was a running bet of how many of his (unqualified) family members he'd put on his staff. He has only announced a couple of positions so far, but i think its fair to say that stability isn't in the cards for 2025 and beyond.
I'm here on this sub because of massive disappointment that Tulsi has turned out to be. I cannot understand how anyone could continue to give her the benefit of the doubt when she keeps proving her detractors correct. She voluntarily decides to support a guy who attacked Congress? The same guy who has been cozying up to one of our two most powerful rivals in the world? C'mon man.... really? Do you not want to see things objectively or are you married to some kind of sunk cost fallacy?
Have you not been paying attention? The US rapidly started to decline under Biden. Our withdrawal from Afghanistan was abysmal. Absolutely horrid. And shortly after China and Russia were renewing their pacts and making new deals moving currencies against our dollar.
No new wars started under Trump. But Biden nearly brought us to WW3.
Admittedly, when Marco Rubio (NeoCon, imho) was announced as President-elect Trump's Secretary of State, I was NOT happy. That position would be exceptional for Tulsi Gabbard.
With Trump putting Tulsi up to DNI, it's a great match. And let's see what fallout happens after she gets to the truth(s) behind her Quiet Skies listing, among others.
Congratulations, Tulsi! Your star only gets brighter!
Really wanted her for Secretary of State for the prestige of the position but this is a great post, im so glad she got this instead of veteran affairs. She is going to be out in trumps ear all the time and he likes tulsi way more than he does rubio. Rubio has indicated he will follow trumps lead on an America first policy policy, if he strays then his ass his grass.
Honestly, while I’m sure there’s negative things said about Tulsi somewhere, I rarely come across it. I think I’m correct in saying that Tulsi is a very likable person because she’s bright, genuine and really DOES care about making positive changes.
Fantastic! Trump has make the right move and put the Top Female in the entire nation in his cabinet. Trump shocked me that he was actually able to win a second term.
Now with the Tulsi Gabbard pick he has placed his administration on a fantastic path to help himself, women in general and all citizens (even dumb Democrats) in the country.
So many people still shilling out the stupid putin propaganda clinton lied about. A real American hero is in the seat and people still claim the sky is falling.
“Championing our constitutional rights” statement in regard to her appointment as Director of National Intelligence is very telling about what exactly she will be looking for. LETS FUCKING GO!!!
