I really don’t want anything to happen to Trump in office. They do not need a goddamn martyr like that. The exact argument on FB will be: “Why do we have MLK day but not Donald J Trump day?”. Just let him subsume into the background noise of US politics and let the prosecution begin once his term and protections of office are up.

Yeah, Trump dying in office would be a loving disaster. Imagine all the decorum bullshit about McCain's death but cranked up to 11.

It seems GiP does not endorse Tulsi, why is that?
She is a veteran, who was deployed in Iraq. Refuses to tow the party line and accept funds from them. Her brain is not near melting age as is half the candidates along with our current president. And most importantly one of the few candidates that could wipe the floor with Trump in a debate.

I'm bored too, so here were a couple good reference posts for why Tulsi is not trustworthy even though she has said very good and helpful things on the debate stage:

papa horny michael posted:

The 'fundie stuff' is intimately involved with the same cult. It's all from the same group.

More recent reporting has been about how much of her run is looking like it's just to siphon donations to the religious foundation. https://www.civilbeat.org/2019/09/why-is-tulsi-gabbard-paying-this-obscure-consultant-big-bucks/


I think people don't lead with this because she claims she's an adherent of hinduism, and is also the only high profile person in politics to do so. To the average person it doesn't seem weird. Her claim looks similar to how the majority of republicans are 'christians' but individually have a wide spectrum of beliefs.

Bigger homophobe than Hillary, cynically got on board with gay marriage once it became unelectable not to be, maintains that gay people still suck but we shouldn't tell them what to do like those Muslims do
"She tells me that, no, her personal views haven’t changed, but she doesn’t figure it’s her job to do as the Iraqis did and force her own beliefs on others."

I don't care that she served in Iraq. Whole lot of people served in Iraq. Wasn't exactly what you would call a brain consortium unless the focus was on brewing worse farts, drawing dicks or the art of jerking off in dry desert climates.

Until I see her portashitter artwork, I can't begin to judge who she would be as a candidate. Did she draw simple big veiny dicks, or more ornate artistic renderings with baroque influence? Were they rush jobs or did she really sink some time into that local shithouse wall? Did she dabble in frescos of questionable, shithouse sourced medium?

These are the really tough questions that veterans need answers to.

No more his than yours. All are welcome here.

This thread is filled with EXTREMELY ONLINE PEOPLE who have been drinking from the firehose for years. You must forgive them, Tulsi Gabbard has been in their dust bin of history and declared PNG for several lifetimes in these weird political years.

It’s cool that your engaging in the primary process. Keep digging and looking out there, if Tulsi Gabbard appealed to you at face value I assure you the rest of the field deserves a strong look.

Welcome to GiP and don’t be shy.

Whadabout America, they interfere more in elections than Russia! Classic cold war whadaboutism!
Whadabout everybody else, they did it too, it wasn't just Russia! Double Whadabout score!
Who cares if part of it isn't plausible, facts aren't the issue - all you need to do is get one idiot to bite off on it and get them to convince another idiot of the same and your work is done.

Wasn't Tulsi one of the people on board with the "Medicaid for America" or whatever the gently caress name that think tank came up with specifically for the purpose of confusing people about "Medicaid for all" with their Affordable Care Act 2.0 do-nothing bullshit "free market" solution?

I kinda remember one of the candidates spouting that poo poo while you could practically see the lobbying check in their pocket and it was her in my admittedly foggy memory.
