at least someone in the CIA still has a brain unlike the FBI i guess
Tulsi Resigns
- Thread starter cigaretteman
- Start date
I'm a huge Timothy Snyder fan - having watched his full Yale class on Ukraine, and having read his latest book - but I'm just not buying the Russia asset slur. You can find fault with the Dem attacks on Russia without being a Russian agent. It's like you can oppose Israel's wars without being antisemitic.
I was somewhat concerned with Tulsi's leanings toward Modi and the Indian nationalists. Other than that, I hoped her background might improve US-India relations - which I favor - but I can't say I saw any evidence of that.
My criticism of Tulsi is that after being strong on health care and climate change as a Democrat, she turned to the dark side. To me, that showed she was more concerned with power than principle. Not that that's a rare disease among politicians, but I was very disappointed.
Which is to say I don't defend her except on this issue, which I think is unfounded (or overblown, at the very least).

From a combat vet in the House, to vice-chair of the DNC, to Bernie supporter, failed Democratic presidential run, Fox News contributor, Trump supporter, Trump's DNI, and now resigned. What a ride.
Might be overblown for sure but by taking the heat off of Russia by claiming Obama staged a coup when he and others spoke of Russian interference could be interpreted as Russia friendly. I just came to despise her after her Committee hearings so I'm admittedly biased.

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard claims to have uncovered "overwhelming evidence" that former President Barack Obama and others in his administration manipulated intelligence to "lay the groundwork for what was essentially a years-long coup against President Trump." But the...

Just for a point of clarification and a personal pet peeve. Humans don't become Angels when they die. Completely not biblical.
Welp, their spirits that decided to manifest visually for this image in human form don't have to because the are still tethered to their mortal coil.
Before Tulsi joined the dark side, her criticisms of the Russia narrative were of the nature that Russia had legit grievances. E.g., promises made and broken about NATO. Dems attacked those points, but now everyone (including Timothy Snyder) acknowledges that those points were true.Might be overblown for sure but by taking the heat off of Russia by claiming Obama staged a coup when he and others spoke of Russian interference could be interpreted as Russia friendly.

After she joined Team Trump, she strayed from those correct positions to spouting the Trump line on some but not all issues. That's when I washed my hands. Meanwhile it's hard to find Dems who acknowledge the true things that they denied early on. I don't expect Rs to care about the truth, but it pains me when Ds don't either.
Seems like her loyalties change with the direction of the wind?
Was SUCH a good show. That opening scene has always been one of my favorites.
I have no problem with telling the truth but I'll also admit i dont remember much about her and those Russia claims. So I'll accept your point as long as we're talking about then.
However, if you’re the DNI, its sickening not to tell the truth about Russian interference when even the Senate Intelligence Committee led by Marco Rubio admitted that Russia interfered in the 2016 election. And not only does she ignore that evidence but she also tried to twist it in order to get Obama charged with treason. Who the hell is she working for other than Donald and his best Russian friend? It sure as hell isn't innocent Americans.
Trump suggests Putin was a victim of the Russia scandal, reaching new low
Years later, the president would have Americans believe that the Russian leader was the victim of the political attack that he perpetrated.

Usual suspects clutching their pearls about negative Tulsi posts and decorum is peak MAGA hypocrisy.
But so expected.

More than likely she's finally seeing the absolute clown shown of this admin and pushing Massie out showed her who really is still in control.
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was.
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was.
God bless Tulsi. An American Patriot.
LEGACY: @DNIGabbard declassified highly sensitive records and internal documents from the Obama White House.
The records make an even stronger case that the 2016 Russia collusion narrative was not rooted in credible intelligence.
Rather, intelligence was manipulated by the outgoing Obama Administration in coordination with IC leadership to fit a preferred political narrative.
As of May 2026, DNI Gabbard has declassified well over half a million pages of government records that were previously withheld from the American people.

Kinda sad you and the propaganda machine are shilling for this woman who just got fired lol.
Cove comes to the rescue.
She left because, if she was true, among other things she did not support the open ended war.
Stepping back in support of her husband is an awesome display of family life.
Hillary called her out as one several years ago. Nothing Tulsi has done since makes me doubt what she said.
Horrible thing for Trump to say but I believe that's the way he expressed his anger at politically motivated prosecutions against him.
I doubt you had the same opinion when she was a star of the Democrats.
Who wants to put odds on us going to war with Cuba this weekend. Would be a huge coincidence with Tulsi “resigning”.
Last month MAGA was throwing Trump a parade because he said he signed a peace pact with Iran. This month MAGA will throw Trump a parade for bombing Iran. Which one is it, Rs?
At least Trump isn't being called to testify about the Trump/Epstein files, like Hillary suggested.
The REAL reason the Iran War began.
I agree that the Epstein files played a part but I believe cowtowing to Israel and carrying their water played/plays a bigger role.
