Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

I hope all the dems that were supporting her in her 2020 run now see how completely foolish you were. This woman went from endorsing Bernie Sanders in 2016, to defecting from the Democratic party in 2022, to wanting to run alongside Donald Trump in 2024. Whether she is a Russian asset trying to undermine the leftist vote or just a completely wishy washy, backboneless, political- platform-changes-with-the-weather sort of politician, you should not be voting for her.

As much as I despise Hillary Clinton, in hindisght I have to give the bitch her flowers for calling out Tulsi as a backdoor Russian asset. At the time I thought that was her just beating the war drums, and posturing because of her own political weakness. But every day that goes by it looks more and more plausible given the serious, nefarious nature of Russian interference in the US political system. At the end of the day though, her motivations are irrelevant. Anybody who supports Donald Trump is the enemy, and they are dead to me for life. Fuck Tulsi Gabbard.

Wow, what a change from 2016 to today for her.

Tulsi is a lot like Niki, both will be whatever they think will get them ahead.

...and Kyrsten Sinema used to be in the Green Party.

They have both apparently fallen on their heads.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


“I would be open to that,” Gabbard told host Jesse Watters, when asked if she would consider a vice presidential slot.

Former President Trump recently confirmed a list of names on his shortlist for vice president, including Gabbard, Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.), entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy and South Dakota Gov.

The former president confirmed the names on his shortlist, but did not reveal when his running mate would be announced.

Gabbard is also slated to be at the former president’s Mar-a-Lago resort next week, where she will headline a fundraiser for the 917 Society during a night “celebrating the Constitution,” according to an invitation shared exclusively with The Hill.

Gabbard, also a former 2020 Democratic presidential candidate, announced she was leaving her former party in late 2022, stating that it was “under the complete control of an elitist cabal of warmongers who are driven by cowardly wokeness.”

“If you can no longer stomach the direction that the so-called woke Democratic Party ideologues are taking our country, then I invite you to join me.”
