Wait... didn't the Biden State put her on the domestic terrorist watch list?

This won’t be a popular choice among some Conservatives, but not this one.  I’ve always liked Tulsi, even when she was a Democrat candidate.  She’s fair minded, reasonable, has a nice temperament, and as an added bonus is easy on the eyes.

[Dizkneelande 1,085]

Whoever put Tulsi on that enhanced TSA screening list is phucked 

[purdygood 334]

National Intelligence? He after that brain.. know what im sayin ...

[Maximum Overkill 1,739]

Tulsi is a great choice. Democrats should be rejoicing this pick. She's a smart, fair minded Woman. 

I'm sure they'd prefer a Tranny instead of a real Woman though.

You know the first day in office this shiz is coming out.  Apparently she was placed on it after criticizing Harris last year or earlier this year?

This seems an oxymoron:

Tulsi Gabbard as Director of National intelligence

What's your problem with strong female leaders?  Are you sexist?  Already showed your racism earlier today.

He should have made her VP. But I’ll take it

[Sean Mooney 1,937]

I wonder if Tulsi would've stayed a Democrat if Biden put her on his cabinet somewhere.

[The Real timschochet 6,411]

I picture Tulsi in her room with posters of Putin, Assad, and Shaun Cassidy on her wall, dreamily writing in her diary: “Maybe NOW Vlad will notice me! Don says he asked about me…could it be true??”

Something I find worthy to highlight about this selection.....no mention of "first woman Hawaiian" or "first this or that...."

None or her irrelevant elements are being elevated as part of the decision-making process and that my friends is how this should focking work....

[Tree of Knowledge 1,699]

With all this hotness in one place, I would dread having to stand up during a Trump cabinet meeting.

True. Trump hands out jobs as favors to allies vs. basing them on race or gender. 

Edit: Unlike some of his ridiculous appointees I have no issue with this one.

You bring up a really important point.  I presume that no matter who Trump selects, he will be castigated in some way.  Which is fine....all good.

But where it gets a little shady is when he wants to select someone who he can trust to champion his policies, the ones we voted him in to execute, somehow this is a bad thing.   This expectation that he will find people who oppose him, will undercut him and impede his ability to serve the people is the "right way" just makes no sense.

He brought in skeptics before, they were unsuitable for the needs of this nation. He learned from that.  

This was what I highlighted months ago.  He learned....... he now has a greater understanding of the cesspool of DC politics.   All those things done by Democrats and their minions in agencies like the DOJ......are less likely to work this time.

This should terrify Democrats.  They cannot leverage their primary tool of beaurocratic corruption against him as well as they did before. And I fully expect him to set people loose to root out everything they did and show it to us.... I am going to focking love it, every second of it

[Sean Mooney 1,937]

Apparently Trump bringing in people to remake Washington the way he wants it to be as opposed to a Democrat doing that is a-ok.

Good to know the rules. I'm sure the new Trump regime won't employ people to "leverage beaurocratic corruption"

Wow. Handing out jobs to allies who believe in achieving the same results as you do, shocking. I know that if I started a company, or a movement, or a program of sorts, I would definitely put people in higher ranked positions who don't believe in the product or service of what I started up for in the first place.

Every incoming POTUS hands out favors to some degree. Appointing a guy with credible pedophile charges as AG and a TV host Secretary of Defense is next level. I almost admire the shamelessness.

OK, I would not contest your assertion about POTUS handing out favors.....when I look across the entire Biden organization, I think we see favors in anundance.....and if we look back farther  to Bush or Clinton, we likely find the same.

When it comes to accusations, I thought you only held people accountable when they were convicted.....asserting he is a pedophile without that conviction.....well, are you now today going to suggest that merely being accused is sufficient?

I love the Gaetz pick.  Not merely for what I would anticipate him doing to rout out the DOJ, but for what it projects.....to all those who were in bed with Democrats and using the legal system as a political weapon.

I'm curious about the TV Host thing.   What exactly is your issue with him?   He has a very strong pedigree in the military.  What is the issue?

Every president hands out jobs based on the support they provided.  Unlike Biden, Trump choices were not based on DEI.  I think she is an awesome choice having experienced the abuses of these agencies first hand she will be empathetic towards the people and skeptical of the motives of the agencies.  Government is suppose to work for the people, not bootlick for their elitist masters.

Not sole criteria at all.   Her appointment makes a lot of sense for that position due to her experience in being unfairly targetted by them.  These agencies must be held accountable and be more transparent.
