Russian Sympathizer Tulsi Gabbard

[HereOnThePrimalEdge]

Edited Dec 14, 2024 to clarify the purpose of this thread.  Tulsi Gabbard was a long time resident of Hawaii, and served as Congressperson in the US House of Representatives.  During that time she made many questionable decisions for our district, which only seem to get worse, see link to article below.  She was a “Democrat” now a “Republican.”  She served in the military, but claims she’s against wars.  We in Puna deserved a better and more honest representative.  

If posting here please keep links and comments related to Puna and Hawaii, and if necessary describe how her actions affect us or affected us.

Who is Tulsi Gabbard?  And who made her career possible?

Tulsi Gabbard has made a lot of questionable moves in her career and during her tenure as our representative, but taking money from an unregistered Russian agent, even if it’s only chump change is one of the strangest.  She does seem to like the authoritarian dictators of the world:

While the combined total of those donations isn’t colossal by any means—a whopping $59.95—they do raise questions about why an alleged Russian agent, tasked with currying favor with U.S. politicians, would zero in on Gabbard, and only Gabbard.

That strange pattern continued even after Gabbard left office in 2021. This year, as Putin prepared to invade Ukraine, Gabbard parroted Russian talking points, urging the Biden Administration to guarantee that Ukraine will never join NATO—a longtime Kremlin demand.

"taking money from an unregistered Russian agent "

She didn't even know she received it according to the article you linked.

“That’s what she said.”

Anyone who is not a war-monger shilling for the MIC also urged the Biden Administration to guarantee that Ukraine will never join NATO. That probably leaves out everyone you think is free from "questionable moves" in their career.

Anyone who has any reference of history and loves peace, with all that that entails, knows how easily we could have avoided this war and all it's massive implications for the rest of history.

The fact is that Tulsi was a darling of the left (and even the WEF) until she saw things that her conscience (rare) could not abide and she spoke up. She is a brilliant woman of color and has served her country in uniform. Have you? The world needs more Tulsi Gabbards and much less war.

What is your point here HOTPE?

served her country in uniform. Have you? The world needs more Tulsi Gabbards and much less war.

So do you admire her because she was a long serving member of the military and part of the war effort, or because you see her as an advocate for peace?  Or both?


Tulsi was a darling of the left 

Tulsi was never a darling of the left.  She ran as a Democrat because she would have lost as a Republican.  She hob-nobbed regularly on Fox News, chummed with Trump, and CPAC.  She’s a conservative, including her stance on marriage and human rights.

She fooled a lot of people along the way, apparently so successfully she’s still at it.

Now I know you never served your country especially when you think doing so and loving peace are mutually exclusive.  You don't get it and you never will.   Sling your silly mindless labels and superficial ideas.  You are delving into National Politics which would, for the rest of us earn a warning or a banning but as teacher's pet you can thumb your nose at the rules the rest of us are bound to.   Beyond moronic and entitled.  I just can't.  I'm out.

Promise?

Tulsi was in the House of Representatives from Hawaii.  Her actions when she was our rep affect us here, in Hawaii.  She is still a public figure, from Hawaii.  You have no idea what my connection to the military might be, unless you’re a mind reader.  I can tell you ▇▇▇ ▇▇ restricted ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ installations ▇ in Hawaii that I have ▇▇▇▇ and worked at, or you can read through old posts.  Then tell me more about what I may or may not have done in the past.

It’s a beautiful sunny afternoon.  I think I’ll go outside and stand in my yard for awhile.  Without wearing a mask.  ʕ⁎̯͡⁎ʔ༄

We're still doing this...

[Puna Grace]

Then HOTPE you have my unqualified apology and gratitude for your service.  I also respect you for not denying that you are the teacher's pet.  


Enjoy your yard.

And sorry Kalianna, no.  However, you are welcome to block me if you can overcome the technical hurdle.
