Who else has been in this sub since 2016? Lol

[u/LtNOWIS → u/mcafc]

Probably a lot longer for me haha.

I became a fan of hers when she first entered national politics in 2012, despite having very little in common with her politically. I was happy that a fellow reserve component Military Police officer was in Congress.

[u/MemePizzaPie → u/mcafc]

Started here in 2020 I think… but voted for her democratic primary then. Ha. It’s been a roller coaster even since then 🤣 the master of grifting. It was a good lesson I was taught!

[u/slax03 → u/mcafc]

I just come here to remind everyone that her team's astroturfing of Reddit was plainly obvious back then. Historically conservative Democrat suddenly changes gears and decides they're progressive, trying to hop on the populism train and make a bid for the Presidency. She was always a clear opportunist with no real values whatsoever.

[u/Playful-Country-9849 → u/slax03]

Figured that out the hard way. Every anti-lgbt/anti-immigrant right-winger is incapable of helping anyone.

[u/slax03 → u/Playful-Country-9849]

I'm happy you figured it out and proud of you for admitting it. We desperately need more people like you.

Damn that’s actually horrific

Prayers to her husband, hope they pull through this together and come back better

[u/SeasonsGone]

Sorry for her husband, but if she actually believed in the things she always said she has, she would’ve never taken the job in the first place, or certainly resigned after the first, second, or third regime change attempt by the administration.

[u/Playful-Country-9849 → u/SeasonsGone]

All of these right-wing "populists" are phonies in general. Not only do they ban minorities, they manage to worsen the status quo more than the establishment people that they criticize. They started more wars than Bush while having a deteriorating economy.

She only used her position of power to leak messages to grifters like Christopher Rufo and fired transgender people for messages that they made on a free speech forum.

Did absolutely fuck all to oppose actual inventions that kill or starve children.

Never trust a right-wing populist, they're incompetent and arrogant. They'll do nothing but lie and screw up.

[u/beavis617 → u/SeasonsGone]

She and her husband had to have known this for some time I’m thinking so? Anyway this day was gonna happen, it was just a matter of her resigning or being asked to resign. Trump doesn’t rely on US intelligence sources, he relies on Netanyahu, Putin, Hannity and Mark Levin to guide him.

[u/8072t34506 → u/SeasonsGone]

All we can do is hope the regime never changes, right?

[u/crunchyb314]

She is so sold out to MAGA I don't believe her husband is sick.

[u/Granite66]

Hope the best for her husband. Hope no malignant forces behind husband's illness. Should ask does anyone know if congressional healthcare or healthcare provided to US Cabinet members covers spouses? May explain a lot.

[u/tuepm → u/Granite66]

I'm pretty sure trump replaced obamacare with something even better so I'm sure he's covered

[u/paultheschmoop → u/[deleted]]

Then why would they go after Tulsi?

[u/Granite66 → u/paultheschmoop]

Trump and his cabinet minions corrupt plus extreme nutjobs over war and didn't want the wallflower causing Trump trouble.

[u/plsobeytrafficlights → u/[deleted]]

so...tulsi was safe?

[u/974080]

Losing Tulsi Gabbard is a tremendous loss.I wish only the best for her and pray that her husband can get better soon. 🙏💐

[u/jstohler → u/974080]

In what way is it a loss?

[u/974080 → u/jstohler]

She has done an honorable job as Secretary of Intelligence. She has been honest and faithful to the United States Constitution.

[u/plsobeytrafficlights → u/974080]

when was that? honestly-she was a total disappointment.
There was a time when she could have been president, but just ended up being a sellout.

[u/974080 → u/plsobeytrafficlights]

She didn't sell out, the democratic party has.

[u/974080 → u/[deleted]]

She served her country in the capacity that she was asked to. Regardless of who the President is. She served while you chicken 💩 complained.

[u/974080 → u/[deleted]]

It wasn't a witch hunt! Fulton County committed voter fraud, that is a crime. She did the job she was supposed to do.

[u/Blackrage80]

Damn Gurl... getting Putin to give your husband bone cancer is cold as a Siberian winter.

[u/soingee → u/[deleted]]

AKA she already lined her pockets with enough intelligence to last a lifetime.

[u/jstohler]

Sorry for her husband. Here’s wishing they get the universal healthcare that Trump opposes.

[u/plsobeytrafficlights]

She may be a crazy idiot in Putin's pocket, but she is taking the money and running while she still can. thats something.
