    Perversely, I find Gabbard to be fascinating.

    Even among the Trump regime, she stands out for her utter lack of integrity and principles. Unlike the rest, and even Trump himself, it’s not that there’s something small and warped and self-serving where her principles should be, but that there’s nothing at all. There’s just an empty space - a complete and total ethical void.

      That’s because she’s an operative of Russia. She does what she’s told almost like the terminator. No remorse.

      Couldn’t have been more obvious when she tried very hard to stop Trump from bombing Iran, Russia’s weapons supplier and ally.

      They’re all a bunch of Psychopaths, of course, but I understand the intrigue.

        Yeah no that one is just sound policy. I mean, I guess it was weird for Tulsi to suddenly start pushing for sound policy, but “based on available intelligence we have nothing to convince us we should do this this is a bad fucking idea” is what she’s supposed to he doing.

        That’s part of the thing to me - it is almost as if she’s bored.

        I think she’s a pure sociopath - that it’s not that she has some sense of right and wrong and self-servingly chooses to ignore or defy the distinction, but that the concepts don’t even make sense to her - that she genuinely doesn’t even grasp what it is that people are talking about when they refer to right and wrong.

        Which makes her almost certainly the most dangerous person in the entire regime. I think she could sign an order to execute a million Americans just as easily as she could sign an order for socks from Amazon.

      That one Sanchez guy who went to prison was similar. I too remember her positions a decade or so ago and find her to be much more interesting than clowns like MTG. Military vet gone Russia asset who slowly gets dumber.
