    Also, note: "Gabbard isn’t expected to get any Democratic votes."

    Dems will vote in large numbers for Marco Rubio, Elise Stefanik, Scott Bessent: all establishment picks.

    But they won't vote for Gabbard - a DNC Vice Chair and Bernie supporter in 2016 -- because she's skeptical of the US Security State. Dems don't tolerate criticisms of that CIA, NSA, FBI, etc.

    Been reading about this today. If true, it sounds like she is selling out and can't be trusted.

    It's hard to trust by anyone who used to be a democrat. Their core principles are too different than libertarian ones. By the way that includes Greenwald. He's great on war and free speech but terrible on property rights.

    If she has no chance of getting confirmed otherwise then she has 3 choices:
    1. Sell out and get the job
    2. Stay true and don't get the job
    3. Lie and Trojan horse your way in

    Given the neocon types that surround Trump, 3 is unlikely to work at all because then a new problem emerges:
    1. Sell out and keep the job
    2. Reform and get fired

    So basically we are screwed no matter what but at least Tulsi may have a little more restraint than a career ghoul would have so I would rather see her get through.

    But when you have turbo ghouls like Tom Cotton actually having her back, don't expect anything good.

    He has a ton of neocons (for instance, Rubio), Waltz isn't very special in that regard. Hegseth has unhinged bloodlust to the point where he doesn't even seem like a neocon (I generally use that word to mean more strategic schemers).

    Tulsi's Hearing Exposes Bipartisan Rot of DC Swamp | SYSTEM UPDATE #400

    I watched the entire hearing. I was actually surprised how civil they were to her (Bobby's hearing on the other hand...)

    That being said, they wanted her to call Snowden a traitor and she refused. They also grilled her on section 702 and she deflected pretty well. After the public hearing, though, they took it into a private session. I really doubt they'll let her have that position.
