Tulsi Gabbard to report for active duty in Indonesia for 2 weeks

[AProudLefty]

Imagine Democrats giving a rat's ass.

Yeah like we don't give a rat's ass about Don the Con dodging the draft due to his fake bone spurs.

 

[dcsports]

Surely its more experience than the last 2 presidents had.

Not really. But just for the record, I didn't think the last two (Obama and Trump) were qualified either.

 

[pamak]

Imagine having a president who actually knows something about the military and not what he watched on tv.


Tulsi Gabbard to report for active duty in Indonesia for 2 weeks

I do not understand how it was possible for Tulsi Gabbard not to develop bone spears to avoid deployment while she campaigns.

 

[dcsports]

"absentee state representative" for 8 years - proof?
"vacant seat in Congress" for 4 years - proof?
being lawyer and even teaching Constitutional law is quite an impressive qualification too by the way

Not in terms of preparing someone to be the president.

 

[pamak]

She will probably working in the kitchen serving the real troops.

Trump could not even do such thing when it was his time to serve his country...

Dood spent more time in the Chicago bathhouses than the state house. like his time in the senate he accomplished precisely squat. He voted present on moist legislation that would have required he take a stand on important issues. He was never a professor or even an adjunct. He was a lecturer. The closest he came to 'teaching' constitutional law was lectures given on the Constitution as it pertains to race. He was unpublished which is unheard of.

Obama was unqualified to hold the office. Biden actually described him best...a clean..articulate, well spoken black man...and that was good enough to win him the presidency and reelection.

 

[Mycroft]

Oh that's right. Only Republicans serve in the military. With that said I want to thank you for your service.

This isn't about me...it's not even about Republicans.

 

[Mycroft]

Yeah like we don't give a rat's ass about Don the Con dodging the draft due to his fake bone spurs.

This isn't about Trump, either.

 

[AProudLefty]

This isn't about Trump, either.

This isn't about Democrats.

And yes Trump is a part of this thread. It's right there for your blind eyes to see! "Imagine having a president who actually knows something about the military and not what he watched on tv.

I've told you to tie your shoes before running.

I've dismissed the "get Trump" slant.

LOL!!

Sorry to piss on your circle jerk.

That's an obvious admission of defeat. Thank you. :2wave:

That's not even a vague hint of misogyny that's 100% unadulterated, glaring, in-your-face misogyny.

Tulsi Gabbard to report for active duty in Indonesia for 2 weeks

Particularly one that was deeply affected by their experience, and is heavily resistant to starting wars.

 

[Lisa]

Imagine Democrats giving a rat's ass.

What exactly are you trying to say about Democrats serving in the armed forces?

 

[Mycroft]

What exactly are you trying to say about Democrats serving in the armed forces?

Nothing.

Gabbard is a Dem primary candidate. Her military service won't help her in her campaign.

The Dems don't care.

 

[Lisa]

Particularly one that was deeply affected by their experience, and is heavily resistant to starting wars.

I am nostalgic for the last republican POTUS who wasn't a warmonger. He was intimately aware of the military and its cost in human lives.

Still, you've got to think Eisenhower would be shocked to hear that America spends $700 billion on defense. Here's how he described the opportunity cost of war in 1953:

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. The cost of one modern heavy bomber is this: a modern brick school in more than 30 cities. It is two electric power plants, each serving a town of 60,000 population. It is two fine, fully equipped hospitals. It is some fifty miles of concrete pavement. We pay for a single fighter plane with a half million bushels of wheat. We pay for a single destroyer with new homes that could have housed more than 8,000 people. This is, I repeat, the best way of life to be found on the road the world has been taking. This is not a way of life at all, in any true sense. Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron. [...] Is there no other way the world may live?"

Tulsi Gabbard to report for active duty in Indonesia for 2 weeks

She's in the National Guard. She's going to summer camp.

 

[HumblePi]

I admit to having to side-eye Tulsi Gabbard from the start. It was nothing specific, I just had a sense that something about her wasn't quite right. Maybe it's the way she speaks, she's almost robotic. But then I read more about her and decided she doesn't fit into this race at all. I think she's doing it strictly to get a particular agenda across to people and that agenda doesn't really fit in with U.S. foreign policy, as a matter of fact it's entirely inconsistent with U.S. foreign policy.

Tulsi Gabbard Thinks We’re Doomed - The New York Times

[snip]The threat from Russia is severely exaggerated, Ms. Gabbard says. Do not beat the drums of war with Iran. Make nice with North Korea.

She flew to Syria in 2017 and had what seemed to be a friendly meeting with Bashar al-Assad, shocking her colleagues in Congress, and voted against a House resolution condemning the dictator’s war crimes. More recently, she said Mr. Assad was “not the enemy of the United States.”[/snip]

How man men or women serving in Congress is allowed to fly to Syrian for a face to face 'friendly' meeting with Bashar al-Assad -- one of the most ruthless dictators and human rights abuser in the Middle East? In 2017, al-Assad was dropping chlorine gas bombs on his own civilians. Remember the little boy in the ambulance in Aleppo? He was injured by an air strike by al-Assad's air force. That incident came to the attention of the public in 2017 also. Tulsi Gabbard claims she went on a ‘fact-finding’ mission in support of ‘peace’ for Syrian people, but characterized US-backed rebels as ‘terrorists’.

The U.S.has no diplomatic relations with Syria. Gabbard’s trip raised alarms over a potential violation of the Logan Act, a federal statute barring unauthorized individuals from conferring with a foreign government involved in a dispute with the US. The US currently has no diplomatic relations with Syria.

It's all pretty stinky to me and I'd never even consider her a logical candidate for any party.

 

[Chaddelamancha]

She's in the National Guard. She's going to summer camp.

I don't think the go-to here should be making fun of the military. That's a losing proposition.

 

[Integrityrespec]

That's admirable, but her military experience and six years in the House do not remotely qualify her to be President.

Ok, so show me who in the democrat primary has experience that does.

 

[Integrityrespec]

I am nostalgic for the last republican POTUS who wasn't a warmonger. He was intimately aware of the military and its cost in human lives.

It's fine for Eisenhower to say that after his career as a military man and his success getting elected based on his military career but its just a political statement. That's all.

 

[apdst]

Do you have any evidence she's missed other training exercises? If she has I'd agree with you.

You think she's attending drill every month? That would be something if she's been getting paid for drills that she isn't attending.

 

[apdst]

I don't think the go-to here should be making fun of the military. That's a losing proposition.

That's what the 2 week annual training is called.

 

[AProudLefty]

She's in the National Guard. She's going to summer camp.

Yep true. Going to Iraq and Kuwait was her idea of vacation.

 

[BWG]

That's an obvious admission of defeat. Thank you. :2wave:

LOL!!! That's pretty much what I think when one of the cultists says 'dismissed'.

They've run into a dead end, which is to say 'OK you've kicked my ass'. :2funny:
