So, whats wrong with Tulsi?

[Vrenn]

Exactly!

If Trump nominated me to be dog catcher I would instantly become a hitler nazi racist homophobe islamophobe who supports violence against women!

I just checked You ARE a hitler nazi racist homphobe islamophobe who supports violence against women. Keep supporting the Party Lines.

 

[jc456]

You say she isnt qualified, but who is?
You people vote for lawyers to make legislation about healthcare and monetary issues. You vote for an attorney that put people in prison for pot, to be Commander in Chief. You voted for a senile child groper to nominate an obese mentally ill man as one of the top doctors in the country.
You people just want to bitch about every damn thing. Thats it. Just whine. Like butt hurt little bitches.
I think Rubio and Miller are horrible picks but you dont see me freaking the F out about it.
Guess thats one of the joys of not being in a cult.
Most of you people are old. Its time to grow up.

she's not from the swamp

What is a Homphobe?

Are you a Hom?

Ignore my point. Ok.

I didn't.

The DNI aids in the creation of the president’s daily intelligence briefing, and Gabbard would play a key role in advising Trump on national security decisions.

“The DNI has access to every single secret that the United States has, every single bit of information that we know. … It’s the keys to the intelligence community kingdom,” said Rep. Abigail Spanberger (D-Va.), a former CIA officer who now sits on the House Intelligence Committee and who described herself as “appalled” by Gabbard’s selection.

Gabbard’s nomination surprised many in the national security world who expressed alarm over has past controversial comments and lack of high-level national security experience.

Well, trump pays no attention to his PDB's unless they are in cartoon form so one less thing for her to do.

This thread is about them being completely disingenuous. Thanks for adding this.

On the day that Senate committees conduct public hearings, all Americans will be informed if there are any issues with all of nominees.

The Senate confirmation process for presidential appointments is a constitutional requirement outlined in Article II, Section 2 of the U.S. Constitution. This process primarily applies to high-level appointments, including Cabinet members, ambassadors, and federal judges. Here’s an overview of the steps involved:

1. Nomination: The president nominates a candidate for a position.

2. Senate Committee Review: The nomination is sent to the relevant Senate committee, which conducts public hearings. The nominee provides testimony and answers questions regarding their qualifications and views.

3. Committee Vote: After the hearings, the committee votes on whether to recommend the nominee to the full Senate. A majority vote is needed to advance the nomination.

4. Senate Floor Debate: The nomination is then brought to the Senate floor, where senators can debate its merits.

5. Senate Vote: Following the debate, the Senate votes on the nomination. A simple majority is required for confirmation.

6. Confirmation or Rejection: If confirmed, the nominee is officially appointed; if rejected, the president may nominate someone else.While this process applies to many positions, some appointments, like lower-level positions or certain White House staff, do not require Senate confirmation.

Key Appointments Requiring Senate Confirmation
-Cabinet Secretaries (e.g., Secretary of State, Secretary of Defense)
-Ambassadors
-Federal Judges (including Supreme Court justices)
-Directors of major federal agencies (e.g., CIA, EPA)
-U.S. Attorneys and Marshals
This structured process aims to ensure that nominees are thoroughly vetted and accountable.

So do people in the intelligence community.

Gabbard selection flummoxes national security experts​

Tulsi Gabbard’s expressed support for national security leakers and her elevation of Russian-backed narratives are coming under renewed scrutiny after President-elect Trump nominated her to the highest intelligence post in the country.

If confirmed as director of national intelligence (DNI), Gabbard would be responsible for wrangling the information collected across all 18 intelligence agencies.

https://thehill.com/policy/national-security/4991634-tulsi-gabbard-nominated-dni/

They are NOT Russian backed narratives.

To you clowns, anyone who does not support your thirst for war blood is a Russian supporter.

The ONLY legitimate complaint I've seen about Gabbard as DNI is that she promoted American Biolabs in Ukraine. If we're going to compare conspiracy theories, I'll need a week just to list the ones the Democrats have promoted, and that is just from the NYT.

She is an excellent choice for DNI precisely because she is OUTSIDE the intelligence community.

I like Tulsi but I'm not sure if I trust her yet.

I dont care for her policies, but she is genuine. And that is a rarity. Thats why I think this is a perfect spot for her.

She seems to be but she was recently put in charge of this nation's security wasn't she and she used to be a democrat. Don't get me wrong, I still have high hopes for her, but I also have mixed feelings about her.

yea like i said her policies suck, but they wont have anything to with this. Unlike the ATF or something.

 

[Woodznutz]

You have a serious case of willful blindness.

Tulsi is as socialist as Bernie Sanders. She left the Democrats for the same reasons Bernie did. The Democrats aren't socialist enough for her.

Remember that when you see "Leave the Democrat Party Behind".

And it's Democratic Party, not Democrat Party. She can't even get her grammar right.

Don't be fooled by her pretty face.

Tulsi Gabbard backed Sanders in 2016.

She supports the Green New Deal.

She supports reparations for slavery.

She wants a $15 minimum wage.

She believes college should be free.

She supports banning offshore drilling.

She supports closing down all existing nuclear power plants.

She supports a ban on assault weapons.

She supports Medicare For All.


Healthcare For All

People Before Profits & Politics "People Before Profits". An age-old socialist slogan.

Racial Justice

Hold Wall Street Accountable
“We must break up the big banks, reinstate Glass-Steagall, and get our economy back to working for the benefit of all Americans.”

Second Amendment Rights & Gun Safety
“We don’t have to wait for answers to these questions for Congress to pass legislation already supported by a majority of Americans, like universal background checks, closing the gun show loophole and reinstating a federal ban on military-style assault weapons.”

https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/politics/policy-2020/climate-change/nuclear-power/
Gabbard is no longer running for president. “No, I do not support new nuclear power plants and am in favor of phasing out nuclear power,” Gabbard told The Post. She said she supports ending “subsidies or waivers to the nuclear power industry, which should itself be completely responsible for paying for its own insurance and paying the long term cost for safe storage of nuclear waste over centuries.”
Candidate positions highlighted



Here's a bill cosponsored by Tulsi:

H.R.40 Commission to Study and Develop Reparation Proposals for African-Americans Act To establish a commission to study and consider a national apology and proposal for reparations for the institution of slavery.


As president, I’ll tackle climate change by ending subsidies to big fossil fuel and agribiz corporations, ban offshore drilling, harness innovation to create jobs in renewable energy, provide better opportunities for our farmers, and ensure every American has clean air and water.

"A democrat candidate was campaigning in a neighborhood when he came across a group of children whose dog had just given birth to a litter of pups. "Well, are they Democrat puppies or Republican puppies" he asked playfully? "Democrats!", the children giggled. Several weeks later he returned and visited the same family, asking how the "Democrat" puppies were doing. "Oh, they're Republicans now", the children responded. "When did this happen?", the candidate asked curiously.
"When they finally opened their eyes!", the children answered gleefully.

I've always liked her, and I especially loved how she strongly speaks out against corrupt Dems, like Hillary and Kamala.

Like you, Harley, I don't agree with all her policies (for example, on the 2A.) But unlike you...NGL, recently I've had some doubts about her authenticity. She was one of the "Young Global Leaders" of the WEF.

(Don't attack me, you all, for bringing this up. He DID ask the question, I'm just answering, but just saying I have a few doubts if she can be trusted, thats all.)

Others feel more strongly about it, like this person:
