    So… another Putin puppet. Awesome!

    I like it when I don’t know who the people are when chosen for these positions. It means they are probably qualified. Not this reality shitshow contest.

    We are definitely heading towards Idiocracy… if we’re not annihilated first.

        Sure, he was looking for solutions and allowed smarter people to steer the research. He also allowed the smarter man to take his place in office.

          Did he really though?

          He let someone else do all the hard work for him, while he relaxed. History remembers President Dwayne elizondo mountain dew herbert camacho, no one remembers the name of the guy who came after him.

          Clearly he was the smarter man.

      Not just Putin, she’s been tight with Modi’s party in India (outside of any role she had as a legislator) and went on that stupid trip to Syria with Syrian regime handlers. This is well beyond Trump putting loyalist goons into positions of power and closer to actively compromising our country. Hard to believe Gabbard could even get a security clearance.

    Why is the headline former democratic representative? Does that matter? She has been transitioning to republican for a while now and is currently full R.

    All of y’all freaking out over this are tripping so hard it’s nuts.

    See any of her debates, speeches, interviews, whatever else. She is a patriot who puts the good of the American people and the lives of her fellow service members above loyalty to a party of individual. She can acknowledge when she’s made a mistake and explain why her thinking changed. She’s everything Kamala wasn’t and would’ve had my vote over trump if she was a contender in this election.

      Well, you need a certain lack of intelligence to switch from Dem to Rep, so it fits perfectly.

      It also fits with Trumps desire not to look to closely at Russian interference.
