    So… another Putin puppet. Awesome!

    I like it when I don’t know who the people are when chosen for these positions. It means they are probably qualified. Not this reality shitshow contest.

    We are definitely heading towards Idiocracy… if we’re not annihilated first.

        Sure, he was looking for solutions and allowed smarter people to steer the research. He also allowed the smarter man to take his place in office.

          Did he really though?

          He let someone else do all the hard work for him, while he relaxed. History remembers President Dwayne elizondo mountain dew herbert camacho, no one remembers the name of the guy who came after him.

          Clearly he was the smarter man.

      Not just Putin, she’s been tight with Modi’s party in India (outside of any role she had as a legislator) and went on that stupid trip to Syria with Syrian regime handlers. This is well beyond Trump putting loyalist goons into positions of power and closer to actively compromising our country. Hard to believe Gabbard could even get a security clearance.

        She couldn’t, unless the requirements have changed dramatically over the last 2 years.

          The guy who was elected overruled the requirements to get his ineligible family clearances. She won’t have a problem.
