""A lifetime commitment" that "you can't just go in and out of" for everyone except the author of the letter, van Duyn, and all of the other "defectors". Oh the irony."
Irony, maybe. But has Gabbard ever once denounced, resigned, said it's an at arm's length relationship, was due to her parents' involvement or in any way actually defected?
NO, she has not.
At any event, the next few weeks and months will be interesting that's for sure!
Especially for Tulsi!

You have a good point. There is a strong pattern of Hawaii politicians continuing to embrace controversial and even un-American gurus:
In a campaign appearance earlier this month, Sen. Obama said, "I don't think my church is actually particularly controversial." He said Rev. Wright "is like an old uncle who says things I don't always agree with," telling a Jewish group that everyone has someone like that in their family.
Rev. Wright married Obama and his wife Michelle, baptized their two daughters and is credited by Obama for the title of his book, "The Audacity of Hope."
An ABC News review of dozens of Rev. Wright's sermons, offered for sale by the church, found repeated denunciations of the U.S. based on what he described as his reading of the Gospels and the treatment of black Americans.
"The government gives them the drugs, builds bigger prisons, passes a three-strike law and then wants us to sing 'God Bless America.' No, no, no, God damn America, that's in the Bible for killing innocent people," he said in a 2003 sermon. "God damn America for treating our citizens as less than human. God damn America for as long as she acts like she is God and she is supreme."

Reporter attempts to investigate Tulsi and her gang in Honolulu. She’s stalked and more:
TWICE IN MY LIFE I've experienced political realities so implausibly sinister, I mistook them for bad dreams. Both incidents involved my former congresswoman, Tulsi Gabbard.

https://www.spytalk.co/p/my-battle-with-...paign=post Love the blog with 28,000 subscribers. Awesome.
What you all have missed is that the real concern you should have about Gabbard is not Russia, and certainly not her faith. What should worry you, if you must worry, is her bias toward India and Modi. That's real, the rest is "conspiracy theories". Ganesh that feels good.

I'm not really worried about Tulsi, et al per se, I am worried about competency.
What I am seeing so far has absolutely nothing to do with competency. In fact, what I am seeing is the lack of it makes one rise higher and higher on the proverbial totem pole.

Then savor this time and rest at ease. There is absolutely nowhere to go but up.

Well, that's a good point.
All that's left to do is govern - and there is no one left to blame!

It is noteworthy that Puna Web restricts content unrelated to Hawaii, yet the discussion surrounding Tulsi Gabbard, while she remains a resident of the state, no longer seems to be considered Hawaii-related.
This raises the question of which aspects of her political views are directly pertinent to Hawaii.
Furthermore, this thread exemplifies the way in which national political discourse is allowed on Puna Web, but only when it aligns with anti-conservative sentiments.
As a test case, it could be observed that Tulsi Gabbard has, over time, developed a more mature and informed political perspective, recognizing the corruption within the Democratic Party and choosing to support what she perceives as the more responsible voices in the political landscape.
