This would have been disqualifying for any public official not so long ago. Now politicos lie, flip-flop and grift freely and openly, and it's just a fact of life. Like it was normal or something...
we are in a post-truth era
We always were. Try to fact-check me.
Cuz... We're in a post-tr- No, no, yeah, you get it. I don't have to explain the joke.
We’re in a pre-truth era. Always have been.
At this point, we can just take it as read that Gabbard has no principles and no integrity at all, and every single thing she says is a reflection of that complete and total lack.
We can assume that for this whole administration.
I think she has a couple of core convictions, and that’s she’s willing to do anything to gain power to enforce them.
Like I don’t say that admiringly. I think she’s a zealot that’s just riding what ever wave it takes.
Goes Viral
No it hasn't. They want it to, but it ain't happening.

Trump not like us.
She keeps talking and all I hear from her is “Trump raped kids and I’m helping him try to get away with it”
Flash forward to Tulsi pleading the fifth so she doesn't have to admit she was part of the treasonous conspiracy. The implication that the current DNI and Secretary of State are complicit in treason is very funny, of course. We're really circling the drain, folks.
update: it goes deeper…
Kinda funny. For a long time she was a burden on the Democrats. Now she's a burden on the GOP. She's like one of those professional athletes who somehow cons their way into club after club despite having a shite performance history and no discernable positive traits.
Edit: typo fix.
I always wonder at what point the obvious misdirection and projection become too much for me to bear. Edit: jk it was a while ago, and also very much their intention.
