I don't know how real Tulsi Gabbard is as Trump's VP pick or as a member of his cabinet, she's got an interesting history. Gabbard is currently an Independent, a veteran, a moderate, and checks off a lot of boxes. She's got a history on the Second Amendment that raises flags. People change. Heck, even Trump banned bump stocks in his first term. This short 9-minute video gives some context of where she came from and where she's at. It is an interesting discussion.

Why does it take nine minutes (not short) to say where she “stands on the Second Amendment.”

I can say it in 1 second: for it.

I bet you can too.

There are no “stands” on the Bill of Rights — unless you want to change them.

I'll reserve judgment. I've seen too many politicians (Democrats and Republicans) saying I support the Second Amendment and even running campaign ads showing them hunting, as though the 2nd only protects hunters. However, when push comes to shove, they vote for Assault Weapons Bans, Magazine limits, Universal Background checks, Red Flag Laws, etc.

We don't need to watch the video. It's a waste of our time.

99% of career politicians are the same.

She is just trying to create a "narrative". That's her job.

“Evolving beliefs” = “finger to the wind”.

This lady was my congress critter for a few terms.
She is half Samoan, who are very loyal, honest and aggressive people.
I have to take her at her word.
The only thing I worry about is she is a Lt.Colonel and officers are notorious for disliking “uncontrolled” guns.

I too, “evolved” regarding the Second Amendment.

I once believed “gun control” was a “States’ Rights” issue until I learned about “incorporation” into the union and what the founders actually meant by reading what they wrote.

Then I found this piece, and couldn’t agree more.

This is how “shall not be infringed” translates into modern language:

“Every man, woman, and responsible child has an unalienable individual, civil, Constitutional, and human right to obtain, own, and carry, openly or concealed, any weapon — rifle, shotgun, handgun, machinegun, anything — any time, any place, without asking anyone’s permission.”
-The Atlanta Declaration, L. Neil Smith, 1987

IOW, NO “gun law” passes Constitutional scrutiny, ANY “gun law” is an infringement upon the right to keep and bear arms. Says so “in the paper” as former white house resident Bathhouse Barry Soetero Obeyme used to say.

She is easy on the eyes. So, there’s that.

I think a lot of people were red-pilled by the government’s behavior during the covid pandemic.

No Tulsi, ever.

I don’t know enough either way on the Second Amendment regarding Tulsi, but she CLEARLY has the Neocons figured out. In fact, she went to Syria, on her own, as a Congresswoman, in the middle of their war, because she was getting ‘strange’ information from the US regarding that war. And after the trip, she realized that she was being LIED TO by the Deep State here (particularly McCain).

Where this gets interesting is regarding Trump on Ukraine. For the first time, at least in the US, we have a presidential candidate saying it was NATO expansion and planned expansion into Ukraine that triggered the war, as opposed to Putin getting up on the wrong side of the bed 2 years ago and thus deciding to invade Ukraine (Biden’s position). In other words, totally unprovoked.

Someone got to Trump. Could it have been Tulsi, who almost certainly knows that the Biden’s position is total BS? Just about everyone capable of reaching Trump agrees with Biden’s position on the war. But if it was Tulsi, and now with Trump clearly articulating that position - then maybe she will be VP, or at least Secretary of State.

It’s that other thing that troubles me. The “death penalty for inconvenient people” thing. When she evolves on that, hallelujah.

A reminder is in order, just four years ago Gabbard ran for president as a DEMOCRAT. Had she won in the primaries and knocked Oatmeal Brains out she would have gone onto to the Trump vs. Gabbard election. (And of course the rats may have cheated like they did with Xiden.)

I’d crawl over broken and poisonous glass to vote for Trump, with one exception: Putting a dem on the ticket with him. Not worrying though, Trump would know this would be political suicide.

As I have posted many times, are we to believe she has done a 180 in her views stated on her platform, from just a few years ago?
Ban Assault weapons, pay reparations, no limits on abortion, citizenship for Dreamers, ban fossil fuels, ban nuclear energy, end the electoral college?
What’s even close to MAGA there? I need someone to explain to me, how a person changes their mind, just like that?
She’s a pandering Democrat, snake in the grass.
Not hard to see.

Trump should strongly consider her as VP.

Tulsi, doing a wet cleanup on Aisle 5.

Tulsi is as real as it gets.

Read her book “For Love of Country”.

She has served time in the military overseas.
She did so because it was her ‘duty’
She went into politics because it was her ‘duty’

She became a ‘star’ of the Democrat Party. They offered her wealth and power beyond imagination. She turned them down. She told them they were going the wrong way. Doing the wrong things.

They told her all she had to do was go along. They told her if she didn’t, she would be out of politics. She would be blacklisted. She wouldn’t get the fancy house in DC. She wouldn’t get the millions in stock trading via insider info that they all get.

Do you remember the story in the Bible where Satan takes Jesus to the top of the tower and tells him he can have everything he sees IF...

It was like that. And she said no. She said she would rather live in her small house and find some honest job than throw away her morals for illicit power and wealth.

Tucker Carlson has some interviews with her on his podcasts (on Youtube). You can find out for yourself if she is ‘real’.

I once watched her respond to being asked about her view on abortion. It was like watching a snake slither among some twigs. Won’t ever trust her.
