Ugh.

How much have you researched her, Jimbo? Do you know much about her family’s political history?

The hell is the matter with you?!?

I read the New Yorker piece and boy did they rip Gabbard a new one - - not. What bothered you, that her father was anti-gay marriage? Not a progressive stance I grant you but certainly Tulsi has evolved on that issue. My dad wasn't too crazy about homosexuals either. Nor was I. But, well, Dad is dead and I've evolved. Some of my best friends are homosexuals! Or was it her cult-y religious affiliation? Hell, nowadays even Catholics can run for President. The important issue re Gabbard is her anti-America uber alles stance, especially arming terrorists to overthrow existing governments, which is exactly what Bush, Obama and Trump (to a kinda/sorta lesser extent) did.

Tulsi!!!!!

I didn’t post the New Yorker piece. Baron did.

That article soft-pedals a lot.

Here’s a better one:

And another: https://medium.com/@pplswar/tulsi-gabba ... 771a49d387

Here’s an article on her father that might fill in some of the family history: http://www.honolulumagazine.com/Honolul ... e-Gabbard/

Here’s an article from a much further left POV than my own: https://www.jacobinmag.com/2017/05/tuls ... atic-party

More on her foreign policy:

And a bit more about her religious affiliations:

All of this points to a DEEPLY flawed candidate. You think Clinton was rejected? Give this woman the nomination and enjoy Trump’s second term.

I'll get around to the other articles later but after reading this one I now want for the US to occupy and install a new government in India.

Given what we know about Gabbard’s attraction to the extreme right and her thirst for power, a place in the Trump administration won’t come as a surprise. It’s par for the course.

The article is from November 22, 2016. Isn't about time for Gabbard's place in the Trump admin.?

Well good luck running her for national office.

[Jimbo]

Well good luck running her for national office.

Uh, she is in the US Congress. She was elected, you know. By people.

Right. The people of Hawaii. Roughly about the number of people in San Antonio, Texas.

BTW...love the new sig Jimbo. Self-congratulation is an art.

Dude, that's been my sig for a long time. But it is a dig at you, my friend, for I stole the words from a description of Robert Parry.

This was quite interesting...

This was pretty funny tweet I saw this morning from Matthew Dodd.

A guy with five military draft deferments wanting a military parade to honor himself, is a bit like Cruella De Vil wanting an award from the humane society for her treatment of Dalmatians.

[Sneelock]

This guy justifies the word choice “treasonous” to describe people who don’t stand and clap for him. I have a bad feeling about him rolling tanks and missles down the middle of the street. He says it’s to honor the military. I’m sure I’m not the only person to think it’s about honoring President TRUMP.

Generalissimo TRUMP.

Oh I don't make too much of that, he's basically cheapening the word "Treason" so it won't hurt so much when it gets used on him.

"The President is being impeached for treason? Like, he didn't applaud some Democrat who gave a speech? Well... that's not so bad."

[Sneelock]

I think he watches too much FOX News. Whack-jobs like Hannity & The Mad Judge Lady use that word all the time.
I don’t like Brussel Sprouts - they’re treasonous!

If you think RT is state sponsored TV here is the former head of the CIA as a paid - highly paid - NBC News member.

"Russians penetrated US voter systems, DHS cybersecurity chief tells NBC

Russians targeted 21 states' voter registration rolls during the 2016 presidential election.

Of those, a 'small number' were successfully penetrated, according to a Homeland Security Department official tasked with protecting elections from hacking threats."

Now that the government has admitted this happened, will Jimbo believe it?

(It's not being claimed at this time that the attempt actually changed the outcome of the election or that trump's electoral college victory has been invalidated.)

[Jimbo]

Now that the government has admitted this happened, will Jimbo believe it?

I won't swallow it without a sniff or a care what's behind the report like you are willing to do. One thing that stinks is the evidence is secret. Expect me to take the word of DHS, the same paranoiacs who make me take off my shoes at the airport? Let alone NBC who just hired John Brennan for a fair and balanced view of US intelligence? Why did this blockbuster come out more than year after the the Russia! thing got going? I'll tell you what, when NBC compares the damage caused by Russian election intervention to homegrown hanky-panky, about which there is hardly any coverage but loads of evidence, I might sit up and give a shit because I guarantee you we did far more fuckery than the piddly shit Russia may have done.

Jimbo's pattern of responses is quite similar to that of the administration and its defenders

1. It didn't happen
2. Okay, it happened, but we didn't know about it.
3. Well okay, we knew about it, but it doesn't matter for some reason.
4. What about (changes topic)?

[bobzilla77]

Jimbo works for the Russian government to sow confusion and disinformation on western message boards. It's the only conspiracy I believe in. But I do.
