    This was an actual surprise to me...if accurately reported.

    Not a surprise. She showed how quickly she abandoned her principles when she figured out how easy it is to make money in the RW media sphere.

    You were a fan? Based on what?

    There is no politician that I would describe as being a "fan" of. They either have a character that I can trust, or they don't. How anyone can have that level of fandom love for any of the Trump people, including the fat orange one, is beyond me. Buckle up buttercup, the next 4 years are going to be a big let down for you.

    I support Tulsi
    even though she spouts tha Hindu stuff
    Tulsi surfs
    Tulsi was a candidate for President when called
    into active duty and deployed


    If you want. "show me"
    there you have it!



    The MSM avoided Tulsi stories for
    a 3 day repeated Hillary story.
    Tell me it ain't true!


    Better Question
    Why Do "they" oppose Tulsi ?

    Influence and Access: Supporting Section 702 could boost her influence, leading to lucrative advisory roles.

    Media Exposure: More visibility might increase opportunities for paid media work (admittedly this could happen anyway).

    Political Capital: Her stance could solidify support from conservative donors. (Tom Cotton and James Lankford: these senators are pushing for support of FISA 702, The American Enterprise Institute)

    Consultancy: Potential for consultancy with defense or tech firms.

    Now, she has her eye on the cabinet position and has to play it safe for her Senate confirmation. It's all very transparent, she just flies her flag with the wind.

    $2 million a year contract with Fox, for example. (For the fans that don't know). And then we have podcasts, book sales and public speaking.

    Tulsi's 'cards' are the same now as they have been for years - serving her own advancement. Once she realized Dems had seen through her she moved on to easier marks. It worked. Well done Tulsi.

    ....as for anyone dumb enough to believe her just because she parroted their ideas back to them....If you were capable of learning from stuff like this you wouldn't have fallen for it in the first place.

    That's the normal Washington path. I expected better from her.

    OK I guess I didn't understand what you meant by "RW media sphere." It sounds like you are including every opportunity except that.

    Tulsi Gabbard has a track record of independence and consistency in her beliefs. She believes that the flaws with 702 have been corrected, and I tend to believe her when she says she will support our 4th Amendment rights.

    Glenn Greenwald also covered it. If she is confirmed, it is only because she has agreed to do as she is told.

    I'm a cynical bastard. I have been aware that our government is a criminal organization since about 1971 in Vietnam. Every year some event or other confirms my cynical views. I did not vote for Trump, and I admired Tulsi so much that, along with several other friends, left GOP/Libertarian registration here in Florida and registered Dem ONLY to vote for Tulsi in the primary.

    I never realized she was a Zionist until about a year ago. This most recent display of moral turpitude is much easier to understand given her loyalty to Israel.

    Was she once a Democrat speaking alongside the ideas of Bernie Sanders, or do I have her confused with another?

    That is the optimistic view. I wish I could share it with you, but I'm unable. I hope time proves me wrong.

    To some degree she sided with Bernie. She questioned official narratives to the point that she personally visited Syria to investigate the false flag gas attacks.

    Henceforth she will accept and promote every official narrative the Deep State concocts.

    She had her personal opinions about the government spying on us (she was against it) but now she has orders from her new boss which means her opinions are irrelevant. He job is to enforce the views of her admin, not her personal views.

    That's true and accurate, but could be said about virtually every single politician. There are exceptions to every rule. I had considered her such an exception, but I was wrong.

    She still has her views, but as an employee of the admin, she either does as she is told, or walk away, and she is not walking.
