Now, everything Tulsi does to undermine the field will be viewed with rightful suspicion - and will

Rep. Tulsi Gabbard says impeachment of Trump would be 'terribly divisive' for country

https://www.democraticunderground.com/1287292152#top

Gabbard "..some have been "looking for a reason to impeach Trump because they did not want to accept the outcome of the 2016 election"

Think about that..

[ismnotwasm]

1. K&R

No one is talking about impeachment lightly. It’s taken seriously. And like speaker Pelosi said, Trump impeaches himself with his actions.

[Cha]

4. Exactly.. Gabbard has it exaclty WRONG.. and why

is she pointing fingers at Dems?

Mahalo, ismnotwasm

[AZ8theist]

45. It's funny how the tide has turned...

I made a comment several months ago about Tulsi Gabbard being a Russian stooge. AND THEN had my comment removed for a DU violation.
Now look at the commentary when DUers FINALLY see the truth about her.
I have a certain amount of Schadenfreude right now....

[Cha]

59. TG turned it.. She's my rep and

I've voted for her primary opponents the last 2 times.. I join you in your Schadenfreude, AZ!

Mahalo!

[JustAnotherGen]

60. I've been around here a long time

Not my first Primary at DU either.

I'm still undecided. I have had a posts about a few candidates in opposed to. I've never written which ones. Or my first and foremost one.

Live and learn.

[obamanut2012]

158. Same

My only hidden comment ever on DU was last year, and it was a semi-snarky comment about Gabbard.

[evertonfc]

2. obsession

with Tulsi is ridiculous. She isn't going to be the nominee. I think some on here must literally sit at home all day, read tweets and watch cable tv. I mean, come on. No reason to continue this. She is an elected Democratic official from her state. She does have supporters we may need in 2020. I think enough of you have made your point. lol

[Cha]

8. Stop insulting those who are exposing TG.. I am

one of her constituents and the more Sunlight the better on Gabbard..

SUNLIGHT is the BEST DISINFECTANT!

[Haggis for Breakfast]

33. Cha -- I LOVE you !!

[Cha]

34. Whoops! I was already for a different kind

of reply, Haggis!

This one..

Why the Tulsi discussion matters

https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=12603440'

Mahalo, I love you back!

[Eliot Rosewater]

51. Thanks for responding appropriately to a comment that is meant to...

well, you know.

And as if it was written in...well, you know.

[Cha]

99. Mahalo to you, Eliot!

[lapucelle]

10. The OP is a Democrat from Hawaii which is a small state

and only has two representatives. Interest in one's elected officials, especially when they are in the national news, is not an "obsession".

Whether or not a candidate is going to be the nominee is immaterial in this instance because the discussion concerns the dangerous possibility of a third party spoiler cultivated by the Russians.

[Cha]

67. Mahalo, lapcucelle! So rude to charge "obsession"

because we're on a political board discussing a Congressperson who spewed rw talking points @Hillary and then went on Tucker's fox show to Whine about it.

Whether or not a candidate is going to be the nominee is immaterial in this instance because the discussion concerns the dangerous possibility of a third party spoiler cultivated by the Russians.

Thank you for this!!

[Hekate]

35. It was "ridiculous" to suppose Trump would be POTUS, yet here we are. It was equally ridiculous

...to imagine JillStein's candidacy could have any effect, yet in every state Trump "won" narrowly, the margin was that of votes for Stein.

[Cha]

136. Mahalo, Hekate!

[blm]

40. Cha is VERY invested - she lives in Hawaii which Gabbard is

SUPPOSED to be representing instead of Russia.

[Cha]

97. Mahalo, blm!

[kcr]

96. For some, it isn't obsession with Tulsi. It's obsession with Hillary.

Because Hillary Said Something! Must react, because it's automatically horrible and wrong somehow.

[certainot]

116. she's been getting support from limbaugh of all people, since june, and maybe at least one

paid caller that i saw. caller to limbaugh pretending to be 'progressive' (liberals only get through by deception) and then today limnbo lied that hillary clinton called her a russian 'agent' - not the same as an 'asset'.

it's possibel limboi doesn't know he's an asset but if he has been getting paid for the kind of crap he did to push mccain to pick palin, or selling 'climategate' in 2009, or pushing debt default in 2011 (why would american billionaires want that?), wouldn't he be more of an agent - for someone?

some of her support is suspect

[Cha]

138. Oh really! Good to know!

And, now gabbard has dropped out of the Hawaii race..

;hattip:https://www.democraticunderground.com/1287323860
Mahalo, certainot!

[certainot]

139. president or bust!

[BonnieJW]

118. Probably not but

what Hillary pointed out is that she might run as a third-party candidate like Jill Stein. It would dilute the dem vote. The more her connection to Russia is exposed, her chances of a third-party run are diminished.

[lagomorph777]

120. Welcome to DU. She holds positions opposed to 90% of actual Democrats.

She hires the same consultants used by Putin's minions.

She seems to have armies of trolls on DU and elsewhere.

What are we to think?

[Cha]

137. Thank you!

[lapucelle]

129. Yet here you are.

[Cha]

145. ..

[dawg day]

131. I'd like her to be obscure and go away... but I'm torn.

If the Russians are actively trying to disrupt the Democratic Party by pushing a candidate, I sure want to know. I do understand that a candidate can't always choose their supporters-- I mean, David Duke will endorse you whether you want it or not-- but if it happens, first, frankly, a truly loyal candidate would withdraw rather than allow the Russians in to the campaign. (Or at least loudly denounce it.)

We just need to be aware of how drastically the Russians want to interfere. It's so weird that for all those years of the USSR, there was this constant fear of "communist infiltration." There were powerful indications, for example, that the CIA was riddled with infiltrators. And it wasn't until Russia wasn't communist that they actually managed to infiltrate the White House.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

132. I totally agree, which is why Hillary needs to disclose the evidence she obviously has on Tulsi

exposing her as a Russian asset. What's Hillary waiting for?! I assume Hillary, being a savvy politician, has a strategy in mind and trust she knows what she's doing... I just can't figure it out.


Bernie/Elizabeth or Elizabeth/Bernie 2020!!
Either way, they're stronger together!!
Welcome to the revolution!!!

[obamanut2012]

159. But, she could very well be a third-party candidate

Which is what I suspect she is planning, especially since she isn't running for reelection.

She is poisoning the well in these debates, as well as giving herself big exposure.

[lapucelle]

3. HRC wants the Democrats to win the WH in 2020.

She did this smart, and she did this early. She also did it in a week when Tulsi was already playing games, and the New York Times was already scrutinizing motives.

What, Exactly, Is Tulsi Gabbard Up To?

As she injects chaos into the 2020 Democratic primary by accusing her own party of “rigging” the election, an array of alt-right internet stars, white nationalists and Russians have praised her.

9. I hadn't seen that article before -- thanks for the link.

[Cha]

11. Precisely, lapucelle! Hillary doesn't want any

fucking spoilers in 2020! Preempt 'em! Gabbard outed herself by jumping on Hillary with paranoid loser rw talking points. So Not presidential.

Mahalo!

[blm]

37. At the debate, Tulsi tried to go for the jugular on Elizabeth Warren.

And missed. Warren ignored her attempt. I think HRC was watching closely and saw what many of us saw.

[Cha]

41. Yes.. TG also went for the jugular on Kamala

at an earlier debate.. Hillary is not having it.

[lapucelle]

44. Tulsi's disinformation attack on Kamala Harris was another early tell.

There have been stories about Tulsi's questionable connections and odd non-Democratic fan base in the news all year, but it took Secretary Clinton's oblique warning to really make people pay attention.

[blm]

46. We (DU) posted about TG for 4yrs. I was grateful

for Clinton’s comments, because it felt like she was speaking for us.

[lapucelle]

49. I probably should have said "an early tell this time around".

[Cha]

150. Mahalo, nui loa, lapucelle!

[sheshe2]

5. KnR

I trust Nancy on the Impeachment of trump. The numbers keep going up with Americans standing for Impeachment. If Tulsi thinks that is divisive, well….I will leave it at that for now.

[Cha]

19. I'd say that Gabbard's tweets on Dems are "Divisive"..

and her spewing RW talking points @ Hillary, and running to tucker's fox show to Whine about it.. is showing us who she is..

Mahalo, she!

[AllyCat]

31. Yup

Why do so many on the right like her? Faux? What she seems to actually stand for? No way. Mr AC was trying to tell me she was his choice. I’ve pulled out many articles here to show him who she really seems to be.

13. Wait, I thought Clinton was not referring to Gabbard.

Can we decide on a consistent talking point, or is that too complicated?

17. Gabbard knew who Hillary was talking about.. she

jumped on it spewing RW talking points at Hillary and then went on tucker's fox to Whine about it.

55. I could swear there are lots of threads

claiming that Clinton was not referring to Gabbard and that Gabbard fucked up by taking offense.

And now it appears that some of the same people making that claim are also claiming that Clinton’s targeting of Gabbard was brilliant.

Hard to reconcile both of those positions from the same people.

[betsuni]

58. No, they said Clinton did not name Gabbard and if Gabbard had not commented it wouldn't have

blown up like it did. People who don't follow politics would have no idea who Clinton was referring to. We of course instantly knew who she was referring to.

[Voltaire2]

61. Lulzd.

63. It seems like it's too complicated

a concept for some to understand that Gabbard basically outed herself with her rw talking points spewed at Hillary. and running to tucker's show on fox to Whine about Hillary.

Mahalo betsuni! Hillary!

62. Gabbard outed herself spewing rw talking points

at Hillary.. then went Whining to Fucker Carlson on fox.

We need to be way over the top on shining the light on this kind of influence. Anyone working against democracy should be shamed out of politics, at the very least.

[melman]

76. Yeah

It shifts whenever they need it to shift. Just like everything else. For example, insisting a person is a 'private citizen' on the one hand, but on the other hand demanding this person never ever be disagreed with, and that they must be deferred to at all times by everyone.

[LanternWaste]

105. The oft-cited, but never illustrated "they said..."

I s'pose that's the best citation available for your premise.

14. I for one appreciate Tulsi outing herself...

Being a non factor in the primary I had little knowledge of just how divisive she is.

Mahalo, comradebillyboy!

[WobblyDem]

146. We probs shouldn't associate w/ Ragnarok, he's toxic enough to damage Dems online

The Rag Lobster guy is potentially the most toxic Dem with a large following on Twitter as a whole. Worse than a good portion of MAGA twitter I've had the displeasure of reading.

Might not be textbook sexual abuse, but it is abusing women sexually:

He gives Democrats a bad name, and Republicans can excuse their own toxicity if they can point to speech like this. Kinda hoping he gets banned before the general election considering we need to be able to crucify Trump for his hateful rhetoric.

[BlueMississippi]

20. k&r nt

[Jarqui]

22. Gabbard: impeachment has been "used as a partisan talking point"

No. Not really.

Either Trump committed high crimes and misdemeanors or he didn't.

The Constitution doesn't say that is a partisan question.

If Trump obstructed justice as Mueller found, Trump should be impeached.

If Trump withheld aid from Ukraine until they manufactured dirt on his most likely 2020 opponent, Trump should be impeached.

If Trump's hotels took money for empty rooms from foreigners, Trump should be impeached.

Etc.

It is not a partisan question. Either Trump is guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors or he isn't.

The Republican's would love to hide their corrupt President behind the skirts of partisanship but that is not what the Constitution directs.

Tulsi is just another little pimple on the arse of progress.

[PhoenixDem]

23. Tulsi has been exposed fully n/t

[Cha]

157. And still doing it to herself..

that Gabbard would run as a third-party spoiler. She never had a chance at the nomination.

38. Imagine if we all followed the advice of those people who wanted us to stop talking about Gabbard...

,,, because it would give her undeserved exposure. None of this would have come up, and she would still be out there, free of scrutiny.

Glad this sentiment didn't amount to anything.

[McKim]

47. Yes, She is AstroTurf But She Has a Message that Resonates

Yes, I am glad that her supporters have been outed. We need to beware of anything that would interfere with a strong campaign for our chosen Democratic Party candidate.

But we should keep in mind that her anti war, anti imperialist message resonates with a growing number of Americans. We simply cannot afford guns at the cost of butter any longer! Anti war sentiment in this country is a growing force and she has ridden that wave. We need a Democratic Party candidate who understands this. This idea has POWER!

[WinstonSmith4740]

50. True, the message has power.

But it's not like she's the only Democrat espousing that idea. No one up there is calling for guns instead of butter, or that we need to stay in the Middle East forever. I don't trust her as far as I could throw her. She's cozied up to Assad and Sisi https://www.democraticunderground.com/1287318328, and dissed a Veteran's group when she was working for Bernie. And then there's this: http://www.hawaiifreepress.com/ArticlesMain/tabid/56/ID/20879/Tulsi-Gabbard-Hires-Russian-Agent-to-Keep-Hawaii-Media-in-Check.aspx

She's a tool.

[58Sunliner]

124. Anti-war, anti-imperialist. Sounds like Trump when he was running.

Now they just sound like right wing talking points. Who actually gets us into wars?? Guess what we can't afford? Tax cuts for the wealthy-an alarmingly inflated deficit. How about responsible leadership and a sane budget, instead of slogans that are devised to carve a niche without facts. Govt that functions for the people. That has POWER. It's just longer and takes reading comprehension. FFS- guns at the cost of butter?? Are we in 1943? How about guns at the cost of health care, roads, etc.. Let's not focus on the real risks of the current administration-let's just make shit up. I apologize for seeming acidic.

[WinstonSmith4740]

48. Her response is classic guilt.

Hillary never said squat about Tulsi, although some in the media are framing it as though she did. All Hillary did was use a feminine pronoun. Kamala Harris didn't get upset. Amy Klobuchar never said a word. Elizabeth Warren? Crickets. Tulsi, who's a Dino to begin with, is the only one who took it personally. Not tough to figure out why. I can't wait 'til Trump starts defending her.

[YOHABLO]

53. Hillary Clinton is not running for POTUS. Tulsi G's polling is not in the top 7

So why the discussion about Tulsi Gabbard, what difference does it make? It all seems a waste of time and ridiculous.

[philly_bob]

98. Crowd-shaming is not sunshine. It is a tactic.

I'd love to see some sunshine come out of this discussion: specifically, do candidates believe in "regime change" as a legitimate goal of U.S. foreign policy?

If candidate contact with Assad is disqualifying, what about contact with other leaders, such as Saudi Arabia's Mr. Bone Saw or Israel's Netanyahu?

[Cha]

100. Gabbard brings it on herself. SUNSHINE

BEST DISINFECTANT!

[philly_bob]

101. Your reply sheds no light on the issue I raise. Just more shouting.

Does Biden, for example, support regime change in other countries as a legitimate goal of U.S. foreign policy?

P.S. I don't care about Tulsi Gabbard.

[Cha]

102. I have nothing to say to your #Whatabout.

[58Sunliner]

128. I'm willing to bet not a single Dem candidate supports that foreign policy.

135. Oh man, I hope you're right, 58Sunliner.

I'd love to hear them say it.

[docgee]

54. OMFG! She sounds like a repuke talking head!

[marieo1]

57. Distrustful

I have been distrustful of Tulsi Gabbard ever since I first heard her speak., she is the only candidate I have not felt good about, some I like their message more than others but I have not liked Gabbard's message at all. I have felt she has ulterior motives. She has said enough that I don't trust her at all. Naturally she makes comments against Hillary, that is their style. DJT tears down decent people all the time.

[Sogo]

69. I hope you're right....

....but then there's this:

https://apnews.com/f89b08edb74e40dd8990c803a19627dc

Tulsi Gabbard elevated in Iowa by Clinton spat

[gristy]

70. Exactly this

In one fell swoop, Hillary Clinton managed to make a Tulsi 3rd party run for president synonymous with being a willful spoiler.

That was preemptively genius yet the usual suspects are too busy reflexively crying over HRC to get that.

This action is just terrific. Neutralize her before she can start causing damage.

[StarfishSaver]

72. And she did it without uttering her name

[betsuni]

71. The more I think about it, the more likely I think the plan was for a third party run.

She was already running as if in the general election, running against Democrats. She might appeal to disgruntled Trump voters in swing states, especially military, who might be considering voting for the Democrat but don't really want to. Her physical attractiveness is a plus, and she obviously lives in CT World, repeating misinformation about Harris in the debates, calling Hillary a corrupt warmonger.

It makes sense. But now? Thank you, Hillary.

[Zambero]

77. Hillary has given fair warning before

and she has a knack for being spot on.

[Fragment]

78. Tulsi should now be completely ignored by Democrats, as she is not one of us.

We now understand who she is representing and what her purpose is. Her mission is to divide and conquer. From here on, she is dead to me as though she never existed, and I will speak of her no more.

I hope my fellow Americans of good will also will fail to acknowledge her or discuss her as well.

Her intentions for our country are not honerable, and she is not worthy of our time or regard.

[melman]

79. Hoarse Whisperer is trash

Now he's retweeting conspiracy shit about Pete Buttgieg.







What the fuck? Where does this shit end?

[Celerity]

81. Hoarse Whisperer also was a principal first driver in the lie

that AOC set up and was attacking Pelosi at that climate protest near her office, when all AOC did was show up for a brief spell and said that they were there to have Pelosi's back. I have taken anything they say with a grain of salt since then.

I am NOT btw, defending Gabbard. She is very problematic and I so hope she is defeated in the primary for her Congressional seat.

And Hoarse can go fuck himself as can the original tweeter Greg Olear of that Buttigieg smear attempt. It is like the goddamn McCarthy era fear mongering. What a piece of of shit.

Greg Olear is really a fucking asshole, he pushes the anti-Biden slander line, calling him 'Handsy Magee', slamming him hard for ages.

[melman]

83. You don't have to be a Tulsi fan or defender to see how wrong and dangerous all this is

[Celerity]

84. Almost every talking head I have seen on MSNBC and CNN

agrees with what you just said and/or they said it was politically very, very poor optics wise too. I am sure there are others (Clinton surrogates do not count as they will automatically defend it all) who disagree with that majority, but I saw little of that so far. Maybe the tide will turn today the whole thing will be praised.


Greg Olear is a vile POS. Still aggro over that Buttigieg smear and that Biden smear of his.

[Gothmog]

115. I agree with the Hoarse Whisperer here

[melman]

126. Ask me if I'm shocked

[Blue_true]

155. Maybe you can do more than simply issue an insult.

Maybe explaining why you disagree with the post may cause observers to gain some insight, but you failed to do either.

[melman]

156. There was no insult

And what is there to even say about "I agree with the Hoarse Whisperer"?

[Cha]

134. Definitely.. no one is going "kill that messenger".

[liberalmuse]

80. A few weeks ago my coworker asked what I thought of Gabbard.

I told her I was concerned she was a Russian asset, and this is exactly what she is. Her horrible statement about HRC sounded like it was directly out of Trump/Putin’s mouth, and it was.

89. When I pointed out that TG was one of the few members of who voted against the Magnitsky Act..

Link to tweet

The law was signed by President Barack Obama on December 14, 2012. In 2016, Congress enacted the Global Magnitsky Act, which allows the US government to sanction foreign government officials implicated in human rights abuses anywhere in the world.

The Origin..

The origin

The law is named after Sergei Magnitsky, a Russian lawyer and auditor who in 2008 untangled a dense web of tax fraud and graft involving 23 companies and a total of $230 million linked to the Kremlin and individuals close to the government. Magnitsky was the target of investigations, arrested by authorities and kept in jail without charges. He was beaten and later died under mysterious circumstances in jail just days before his possible release.

92. "Hillary & her gang of rich powerful elite are going after me" sounds so familiar.

Where have I heard that before?

[Cha]

93. Yeah it reminds me of something, too.. let me think

for a second here..

"You have some of the wealthiest members of the political establishment hiding behind
closed doors — with their canapes — plotting how to defeat our political
revolution."

103. Typical right wing "reasoning" Cha.

Impeachment necessarily changes the election result all by itself. So why do we have a Tulsi who uses right wing reasoning ?

[Cha]

106. I don't know.. just know TG

likes to point fingers at Dems!

Mahalo, treestar!

107. TG was one of only 3 reps to not condemn Assad for gassing Syrian civilians and the only Dem

108. Why would she support a murderer... it disgusts me.

I wonder if her political opinions were shaped by the fundamentalist church she belonged to. It was a church, right? I can't recall which religion it was, however. Is she Christian, or something else?

[Cha]

110. It's a big mystery

to me why she supports a dictator who gasses his own people out of one side and then says she's the "peace candidate"?

I googled religion for gabbard and all kinds of things come up.. so I'll just say "I don't know"..

[redqueen]

109. Her campaign was $300 in the red. Now people are donating out of sympathy.

She was on her way to irrelevance, now she's got a lot of people on her side, viewing establishment Dems as the enemy.

smh

[Cha]

111. Yeah, she's real big on russian tv..

Gabbard is my rep and I'm grateful to Hillary.. Thank you, Hillary.

The hell with the bullshit "establishment" insult.

Gabbard outed herself with her paranoid ballistic spewing rw talking points at Hillary and then Running to Tucker's fox show to Whine about it. Those are the kind of people she attracts.

114. Then that means they'll be wasting their money and votes on her...

...and not some of the other disruptor candidates that view """establishment Dems as the enemy""" and are doing better in the polls and fundraising-wise.

In that case, even more of a reason to applaud Hillary for doing what she did!

[redqueen]

121. It also means her presence on the stage may be extended.

Thought that most here preferred we had fewer candidates up on stage.

[W_HAMILTON]

122. I doubt it.

The cut-off to make the next debate is soon and this won't help her get enough qualifying polls in time. Given that the eligibility requirements will only increase after that, Gabbard is most likely done on the national debate stage -- good riddance!

[BadgerMom]

113. We see Tulsi clearly. That matters.

I’m completely unmoved by those who complain no one has proven this. I have eyes, ears, memory. It’s all I needed to alert me to Trump and Stein. It’s all I need for Tulsi.

[flamingdem]

117. Thank you Hillary!!!

[AncientGeezer]

119. Devils advocate...what If she runs 3'rd party now Because of what SoS Clinton said?

True or not it's something that was unnecessary to say...my cat polls higher in the Democratic primaries than Gabbard..and now there are some undecideds that may be looking because they don't like SoS Clinton...we know that's a thing...ask the BoB's

In my opinion..it was an unforced error.
Did nobody any good except Clinton haters that may well go 3'rd for Gabbard.

[George II]

123. She would draw more conservative and republican votes than Democratic votes.

127. I took a tour of twitter the other day and TG has a lot of trolls. It is a full fledged campaign.

She wants to paint Dem establishment as war mongers and uses the same RWTP of anti-imperialism, anti-war that mimics DT. It focuses on nationalism while ignoring the real perps of our nation. She needs to be grilled about her hypocrisy and lies.
It sounds like Putin is recycling.

[FM123]

130. Yep! And Hillary knew what had to be done and did it: disinfection and inoculation.

Yes, sunshine is the best disinfectant - and by making a pre-emptive move on Gabbard she is inoculating the Democratic Party against a potential third party run.

142. Go, Kai! I imagine HI never completely forgets that, without

its protection as part of a very strong U.S., empire-seeking Russia and a newly similarly aggressive and expansionary China would be fighting over who who was going to take possession.

"Nожалуйста, не трогайте." "Please don't hurt me" in Russian.

147. Hillary Clinton. The ultimate patriot.

Thank you Madam President Winner. Your wisdom and willingness to do what is right regardless of the attacks from the right and the uninformed is the definition of selfless bravery.

148. Mahalo for that tribute to Hillary, Jake!

154. Time to bring this out again..
