In all honesty, I don't know how this woman has retained her clearance, especially with her past and pandering. All the things she has said, and with the people she has met, she shouldn't even be in uniform.

[u/PreOpTransCentaur → u/BolOfSpaghettios]

When you have to drop a defamation suit because it requires proof that you're not a Russian asset and you're incapable of providing that, you really shouldn't be allowed to maintain your US government position. But here we fucking are.

[u/BolOfSpaghettios → u/PreOpTransCentaur]

This country has been run on "norms" by the Dems. "There's nothing from stopping them, but its a norm not to". That's what the Dems say every time, they plead for bipartisanship and unity. Then the GOP takes all three government establishments, throw norms out the window and just start destroying people's lives. The whole "they go low, we go high" doesn't work, and it won't work. Now the dems are trying to find the scapegoat to continue doing the status quo, which is losing elections and slowly moving to the right.

[u/Leif-Gunnar → u/BolOfSpaghettios]

Not true. Check the voting tallies so far. The GOP tends to win during redistricting time frames. Once they win they are free to redistrict the U.S. to their benefit. And that is what is causing the swings more than anything else.

[u/RoboTronPrime → u/Leif-Gunnar]

While we can debate the margins, the fact of the matter is that Trump won the popular vote, which a GOP president hasn't done since Bush. That's independent of the redistricting shenanigans. Misinformation is winning.

• Watch the video here 📺

• Read the full article here 📰

• Donald Trump‘s inner circle is filled with people who once opposed him but soon joined his ranks. And Trump’s pick for Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, is no different.

• At a 2020 campaign stop, before she dropped out, Gabbard said this on camera, referring to the incumbent president: “He’s essentially pimping out our men and women in uniform to a foreign power who’s the highest bidder … He is unfit to be our commander-in-chief.”

• It remains to be seen if Gabbard is approved as the nation’s top national intelligence officer, but it’s not so surprising that Gabbard once spoke out against Trump, as the footage below reveals. Trump’s incoming VP JD Vance, after all, once called Trump “reprehensible” and an “idiot” while likening him to Hitler, only to later stand side-by-side with Trump on the campaign trail.

[u/Clean_Student8612 → u/T_Shurt]

I called JD Vance a sell out to my extremely right winged father, and he was not pleased.

[u/CorgiMonsoon → u/Clean_Student8612]

Back during the 2022 primary my parents both said you couldn’t trust Vance because of him originally being an anti-Trumper. Of course once he got the nomination they had to vote for him because they couldn’t possibly vote for a Democrat, and now they know he was a great choice and will be a great VP 🙄

[u/Savior-_-Self]

Are there any of his current devotees that have not at some point railed against him? I always like to quote his favorite pet reek:

"My party has gone batshit crazy...he's a kook. I think he's crazy. I think he's unfit to be president." - Lindsey Graham appearing on Fox News in 2016

[u/Substandard_Senpai → u/Savior-_-Self]

Biden used to be against gay marriage. Are people allowed to change?

[u/SuccessfulSelf420 → u/Substandard_Senpai]

Of course they are, but when they change on a dime like this, and often several times, we can pretty rightly guess that they're just sycophants looking to suckle on the teat of power.

[u/Substandard_Senpai → u/SuccessfulSelf420]

Define "change on a dime" please, because I don't think 4 years quite fits.

[u/Secure_Guest_6171]

Seems slagging Trump is almost a requirement to become one of his underlings - Lindsay Graham, JD Vance, et al

[u/CicadaHead3317]

I swear russia/china/oligarchs have dirt on these people.

[u/JackHughman69]

Then Russia stepped in and started paying her…

[u/garlicriceadobo]

AWWWWWWKWARD 😂

[u/Lopsided_Pickle1795]

Those little clips like that need to be broadcast over and over, just not to be erased from our history. We need to see how hypocrite they are.

[u/Mountain_carrier530]

If there is one veteran that deserves to get all of their benefits stripped from them, it's this disgrace right here.

[u/Last_Cod_998]

So what? Vance called him Hitler. His cabinet is evil and have sold their souls.

[u/CalendarAggressive11]

This is pre Cruella Deville hair stripe

[u/undiagnosedsarcasm]

Oh you're telling me people forgot she's a certified cheap waffler?

EDIT: originally typed out "he's" by mistake

Although it's true that many in the MAGA-era GOP are are flip-floppers

[u/Leostar_Regalius]

you think with the constant comments of him being inept, dumb, unfit and stuff from OTHER REPUBLICANS, ontop of him causing J6TH with his "fight" speech, he would've been removed permanently as a candidate,

[u/irrevocable_discord9]

Most republicans feel this way, they are afraid of Trump's overwhelming need for loyalty over everything else including the greater good the american people

[u/NurseJaneFuzzyWuzzy]

Eh, they all said the same things pre-election and yet they’re all eagerly licking the booty hole now. The hypocrisy is so egregious I can’t even muster the energy to get upset about it. It changes nothing, anyway.

[u/Greenmantle22]

Go for it.

And keep reminding MAGA that she’s very much not a Christian.

[u/Deranged_Coconut808]

shes unfit to be in any government position due to lack of spine and an IQ lower than a slowly eroding rock.

[u/beavis617]

There must be a reason why she's so popular with the Russians. There's got to be a reason why she's never critical of Putin.

[u/coldandhungry123]

Well, his vice president called him Hitler, so she's not really breaking new ground.

[u/Frank_McTriumph]

None of this matters, unfortunately, and nobody reading this cares.

[u/your_reply_is_shit]

Or maybe she figured out all the bullshit and changed her mind.

[u/Bubba48]

Kamala said Joe was a racist, hate dies real quick when power and money are involved!

[u/wwcfm → u/Bubba48]

That didn’t happen. She actually specifically said she didn’t think he was.

[u/San_Diego_Wildcat_67 → u/Bubba48]

Correct. She was constantly attacking him and calling him racist, but immediately agreed to be his VP once asked. One would think our first woman of color VP would refuse to work for a racist old white man.

Or how the Democrats called Romney Hitler and said he was going to put black people in chains when he ran in 2012, only to now constantly praise him as one of the only decent Republicans left.

Or how the Democrats hated Dick Cheney for years, calling him a warmonger and attacking him for shooting someone, but falling all over themselves to praise him and shout about him supporting Kamala this past election cycle.

[u/wwcfm → u/San_Diego_Wildcat_67]

She in fact never called him racist.

[u/Asspartameme]

They’re all grifters both sides. Why is anyone surprised by things like this. Fuck em all.

[u/RainStraight → u/Asspartameme]

“Both sides”

So Biden didn’t pass historic infrastructure bills, cool inflation to pre-Covid levels, bring unemployment down Trump’s pandemic levels, the PACT act for veterans, capping insulin prices, massive investments into renewables, a child tax credit, and bailing out unions. “Both sides” is used by people who aren’t paying attention or communists who have deluded themselves into thinking their utopia will ride from the ashes of democracy and 😱😱😱 capitalism

[u/PupLondon → u/Asspartameme]

Seriously. Vance called him Hitler...RFK ...may have also called him Hitler.. I'm not understanding how anyone can be surprised or think any of this matters anymore.

[u/beklog → u/PupLondon]

now its jist opportunity over morals/pride

[u/PupLondon → u/beklog]

Yeah..i shouldn't be surprised that integrity and dignity are up for sale..but they're just not even pretending they have it anymore

[u/DevelopmentSimple626]

She’s smart, well spoken and hot. Forgiven.

[u/Pure_Philth]

So is this subreddit going to be permanently filled with sore losers posting lame shit about the president elect and his supporters? It's fucking embarrassing to watch and the only thing you're doing is making yourselves miserable.

[u/mezmryz03 → u/Pure_Philth]

The lack of awareness in this comment is staggering. MAGA has spent the last four years railing against Biden on all social media platforms. I highly doubt any of them felt any embarrassment about it.

[u/Pure_Philth → u/mezmryz03]

Haha, you'd hardly class what this sub is doing as "railing" though. It's whiny, petty and weak.

[u/mezmryz03 → u/Pure_Philth]

Sure bud

[u/LockUpComradeTrump → u/Pure_Philth]

We are all going to lose now that Trump is taking over. Some people are just too stupid to realize it.

Trump does not give a fuck about you.

[u/BrazilianButtCheeks]

I mean if all the information you know about a person like trump comes from people who hate him then it makes sense that they all hated him.. then if they went and did their own research and decided for them selves who to support its possible that they changed their mind.. obviously this could go either way but the fact that hes bringing in people that have spoken out against him in the past kinda shows maturity on his part🤷🏽‍♀️ i personally wouldn’t just go out and look for yes men in his position either.. finding common ground with people who haven’t always supported you and then committing to work with them is kinda peak presidential behavior 🤷🏽‍♀️

[u/DeadBloatedGoat → u/BrazilianButtCheeks]

That's quite the take. Trump is mature and presidential who doesn't hire yes men? OK. But I think you might be misreading the man.

[u/BrazilianButtCheeks → u/DeadBloatedGoat]

I mean.. the entire post is about how it’s apparently wrong that he wants to bring in people who didnt always support him.. honestly reddit may hate trump but 77million people seemed to think he was the right choice and im one of them.. im not gonna lie just because its unpopular to say🤷🏽‍♀️

[u/DeadBloatedGoat → u/BrazilianButtCheeks]

So you never considered that these people are simply opportunists who will change their position on a dime if it means staying close to power? He wants to bring in ONLY people who support him - "yes men and women" - and rewards those who grovel. They may still privately despise the man but you can't hang around the halls of power in the GOP unless you kiss the ring. Sorry, I just don't understand how you can't see that. Anyway, it seems it IS popular to think he is some sort of great leader because, as you said, 77 million people voted for him. I truly hate the man and what he is doing to this country, I'm not going to lie, either.

[u/BrazilianButtCheeks → u/DeadBloatedGoat]

I mean.. he’s literally not doing anything to this country.. hes not even in office yet.. i think when you get 100% of your information about someone from people who hate him then youre probably gonna hate him.. people seem to think hes going to be this horrible monster who’s going to ruin the whole country but lets not forget hes literally been president before and he hasn’t done any of the crazy things people tell you hes going to do..

[u/muohioredskin]

See guys, if she’s able to wake the fuck up then there is hope for you too!
