Gabbard is DNI

[para bellum]

Well how about...SHE IS A FUCKING NUTBAG, who spent her time peddling conspiracy theories and baseless Kremlin bullshit.

That is a total conflation of what she was talking about, with Kremlin propaganda.

Ukraine had multiple labs where biological and chemical weapons development was being done under the Soviets. The US spent a lot of money under Nunn-Lugar to secure and modernize those labs and convert them to civilian medical research.

Yes, there were pathogens in those labs, and yes, the war created additional risk, and yes, the US funded and worked with Ukraine extensively in that area.

seems you feel only members of the swamp are qualified. Don't you see a problem with this?

One department they could dismantle immediately is CISA.

Most worthless bunch of dumb shits ever.

 

[debbiedowner]

She isn’t the same person as she was when she was a Democrat

Yea, keep telling yourself that.

 

[Hollie]

The fact that she is a Russian asset is a plus, in Trump's eyes.

But enough of your childish conspiracy theories.

 

[AntonToo]

lol

Dem heads exploding is delicious.

A dem calling some Trump apointees nutbags, exactly as he called them before nomination....is your idea of explosion?

You need to work on your ideas.

 

[AzogtheDefiler]

Yea, keep telling yourself that.

She explained why on many a show. Something Kamala could not or did not do.

 

[struth]

She is an unprincipled, cheap intellectual whore.

Thanks for asking.

Such a racist and sexist comment.

Take your bigotry to Russia

And enough about you....

You guys would have said Pete Buttigieg was highly qualified for Sec Def but not Transportation?

Creepy little Pete has only one qualification, to be the guy on the cover of Mad Magazine.

Bullshit, she was talking about it just when Kremlin was peddling this propaganda. And NO, she was not talking about it within the benign context you've posted here, she was addressing people who would come away with impression that United States is running a bio weapons program out of Ukraine, exactly as Russia propoganda was claiming.

Coincidently, Elena Branson, was criminally indicted as a Russian agent who made illicit donations exclusively to...Gabbard.

I don't know if Gabard was acting as a paid shill for Kremlin, or if she is just their useful idiot, but either way, she doesn't belong within 100 miles of DNI, let alone be trusted to run it.


Trump knows that these sketchy characters may be rejected by the Senate in the confirmation, so he is already trying to bypass that constitutional check.

Trump demands Senate bypass votes to confirm appointees

Under the US Constitution, the Senate must vote to approve nominations made by the president for senior executive positions, such as cabinet posts and judicial appointments. A constitutional clause, however, allows for presidents to bypass a Senate vote if the chamber is in an extended recess.

Take your bigotry to Russia

There was exactly nothing said about race and you are being very sexist in asuming that only women can be whores.

Stop projecting your sexism on to others....and while you are it stop being a hypocrite and start packing for Russia.

 

[Billiejeens]

It's a fuck you to democrats identifyng her as a terrorist

It is also simply a good pick.

 

[marvin martian]

And Hillary calling her a Russian agent, and I think Pelosi echoed that...

I'm sure she remembers that slur well, and I think soon we may see exactly what Hillary Clinton's relationship to Russia really is...

 

[Billiejeens]

She is very patriotic and she was one of the very first to come out and support Trump after she left the Democrats. That couldn't have been easy for her as the J6 Committee was piling on him and I'm sure her personal life has been a roller coaster.

There is some irony in this choice as she was apparently placed on a watch list whenever she flew in an airplane. She was visibly unhappy when speaking with media at that time.

Trump has clearly sent a message "my second term is the agenda that the people want".

Let's be very clear about this, the West on its current trajectory will not survive. The corruption and foreign interference has to end. We have to stop embracing those who betray Judeo-Christian values and America has to tell the world "you better support civil liberties and capitalism or you are not in Americas good books".

Let's see how the McConnells choice Senate does. It appears there is strong resistance to term limits when they rejected Rick Scott from what I am reading.

Let's be honest, most Americans would trust a Vivek or Musk before they would trust career politicians.

President Trump not only has a chance to be the next President Reagan, he could go down as the next President Washington.

So far he has gone down as a total fucking shit show and if his nominations are any indication he is hellbent on repeat performance.

3. Donald Trump​

Born: June 14, 1946
Presidential Term: Jan. 20, 2017 - Jan 20, 2021; Jan. 20, 2025 - to be determined
Vice Presidents: Mike Pence, JD Vance
Trump is the only living president among the 10 worst presidents, the only president to be impeached twice and the only president to be convicted of a felony. As the winner of the 2024 presidential election, Trump will become just the second president ever to serve non-consecutive terms in the White House when he takes office in January 2025. Grover Cleveland, the 22nd and 24th president, also served his second term four years after his first term.

Your echo chamber makes and keeps you very stupid.

 

[shockedcanadian]

President Trump not only has a chance to be the next President Reagan, he could go down as the next President Washington.

If he and his administration, especially with Musk and Vivek looking for efficiencies and the broader goal of promoting liberty do in fact succeed, Trump will ensure that you do not continue your path to becoming more like Europe and Canada and back to the America of the 80s.

If he fails, China will win, no question.

Historians are not "echo chamber" they study and write history and thats what they make of Trump.

Sorry you don't happen to like that reality.

Yikes! The nuts are running the asylum. Blind loyalty has it's rewards.

She's educated, has the military background...
And an eye for patriotism....
What's the problem?
