Peter Thiel created the software the NSA uses to spy on us. Tulsi was nominated to sell us out to the Russian Empire.

Please cite ypur backing for these statements. Good citations have links and explanations. Better yet, quotes included.

I'm not here to take assignments from you but I can tell you his company Planatir created software the NSA uses to track you.

Then save us both the annoyance and don't send messages to me. I have no respect for small minds that throw around silly allegations and can't back them up let alone understand them.
Rice-Chex@reddit
Nobody sent you a message and I answered your question. Thanks for proving that current Tulsi supporters are eediots.

Let's hope so. she did at one point push to get Edward Snowden pardoned, but having shifted so far in her politics, I'm afraid she may too have shifted on this issue.
dalper01@reddit
I hope her opinions are always changing. That's called learning. It's a little disturbing if someone changes their mind over big subjects in a small amount of time.
Snowden is a complicated subject. Is he a traitor or a patriot? IDK. I'm pretty sure he acted for what he thought was the good of the country. A lot of the spying on Americans started after 9/11 and could be excessive. Where should we draw the line? IDK. I like my privacy. But, I don't want to be on a hijacked plane.
Then there's this recent push for identifying users on the internet. That's so sudden and aggressive. I probably dislike the timing and messengers. Seeing crazy Hillary who goes on Trump=Hitler rants pushing to pierce the envelope of anonymity on social networks just sets me against it. But maybe the crazy witch has a point. She never explains anything more than that "deplorables" by which she means people who voted against her should identified on Twitter. That doesn't sound appealing.

She's a Colonel in the US army. She gets vetted before and debriefed after any meetng with foreign officials.
This is a matter of interpretation. Tulsi did suggested that Snowden, a private citizen, be pardoned (which he probably will) if he can give up any and all info he has and that snowy be barred from government contracts. She protects his rights not his ability to make money off government and citizen private lives.
Tulsi doesn’t seem to have a good opinion of Snowden. Her comment of having him trying to have his cake and eat it seemed to bother her greatly. Both she and Trump hint that America is better off having Snowden free but of earning his freedom by sharing his knowledge of the parties that gave him safe harbor.
Miserable-Bit5939@reddit
What makes you think that? Is it because Trump did not pardon Snowden?
dalper01@reddit
I don't think he has a clue what he's talking about. This one those repeating what he heard types.

She's always been a political chameleon, changing colors depending on what's popular
dalper01@reddit
Political chameleon? She criticized Obama 12 years before it was in fashion. In fact, she had. Some kind of title like deputy director of DNC when she criticized him.
When was it ever trendy to meet with Asad?
I've heard a lot of silly criticisms of her, but this is one of the laziest and most ignorant.
Tulsi went independent two years ago. That's at least a year before people were jumping off the Democratic lifeboat.
Outrageous-Sink-688@reddit
Wait, you want the government to not spy on citizens without a warrant?
Sounds like what a Russian bot would say! Real Americans don't believe in the Fourth Amendment.
dalper01@reddit
We do, but we believe in the 4th amendment more.
It's true, cell and even beepers are listened in on. This. Is a fair two way argument. There's merit to, hopefully more security, and to privacy.
Personally, I'm very caautious taking a side. But I'm very open to listening to views. It's not as convenient as state's rights, but if you have a solution, I'll get you a ghost writer and help you publish a book

It was insightful. That Tulsi asked a question. I agree in a positive way. Tulsi asking is the dirst step taught in debriefing. I'm open to changing gear, but i need more than a whole op-ed. Especially by a socialist Brit rag owned by and targeting London palestinians

It works better if you clarify what you think the article link is sating. Quote it at least. Then i can understand what this grandiose, self loving writter thinks it's saying.

If Tulsi is a check on the Intel agencies maybe we need to run a new check on her in order to see why she's so popular in Russia...
dalper01@reddit
We? This is the kind of dime hyperbole I expect from Wokes. Tulsi was in Congress and Lieutenant Colonel in the US Army when she brought up negotiating with Putin and met with Asad. She is CO of a Brigade. In middle of America.
At the level of Lieutenant Colonel, she regularly gets debriefing on Pacific intelligence that few in the cabinet have, even the POTUS unless formally petotioned. Tulsi gets vetted at least bi-annually, and more frequently when any "Event" occurs (like visits to foreogn leaders or nomination to s cabinet position. Spending time in Hawaii gets her screened and updated on Far East affairs requently. She has been svreened and vetted by pros.
Experts far out of your league have her on surveillance regularly. so your virtue signalling ass can stop farting on subjects beyond those of us who aren't rasked with the job.
But thank you for playing the game of "look at me, I want respect."
