Tulsi Gabbard confirmed as national intelligence director
By a vote of 52-48, the Senate confirmed Tulsi Gabbard to be President Donald Trump’s national intelligence director. Senator Mitch McConnell voted alongside the Democrats against Gabbard’s confirmation. The Republicans had to invoke cloture to make this vote possible. The Republicans may possibly invoke cloture on behalf of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for health secretary. Gabbard will now overlook the CIA, FBI, and the NSA.
From BBC:
As director, Gabbard will oversee 18 intelligence agencies including the CIA, FBI and National Security Agency (NSA) and manage a budget of more than $70bn (£55bn).
Trump tapped the military veteran for her “fearless spirit”, he said in a statement, in line with several of his other cabinet picks who he sees as disrupting the Washington establishment.
But the former Democrat stands out as one of Trump’s most disputed nominees.
Gabbard faced a contentious confirmation hearing before the Senate Intelligence Committee at the end of January where committee members grilled her on past comments about government whistleblower Edward Snowden, her views on the government’s surveillance authority and her relationships with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Syria’s former dictator Bashar al-Assad.
During one heated exchange, lawmakers repeatedly pushed Gabbard to answer whether she considered Snowden – who leaked classified documents alleging the US was conducting illegal surveillance – a traitor to the US. Gabbard had previously called him “brave” and argued he should be pardoned for his crimes.
She refused to give a “yes” or “no” answer, raising scepticism among some Republicans.
But it wasn’t enough to deter their votes. She later passed a committee vote along party lines.
After her failed bid for president in the 2020 election, Gabbard turned into one of Trump’s most loyal backers. She left the Democratic party in 2022 and registered as an independent, and then became a contributor on Fox News where she was an outspoken Trump supporter.

How I’ve been sleeping at night since January 20th:
I am sleeping the same way.
Eyes wide open. Unable to get a wink of sleep.
But that is not what you meant.
Is this your lunch time or something? Does your boss at Walmart knows his greeter is posting shit online?
This is more his speed…
I doubt that Major Moonbat could even get hired at Wal Mart, he said himself here that the only job he’s ever had in the private sector was a brief stint at a McGunk franchise!
Good. Let the fear flow through you, Trump is living in your head, rent free. Elon is under your bed, just waiting to snatch you out from under the covers. DOGE is in your closet, lurking, waiting, preparing to pounce on your favorite government-funded liberal causes. Goodnight, snookums.
That’s a better story line than anything Stephen King has written.
Sometimes, the bogey man is real.
You and the rest of the dims are exactly the same as muzzies.. Apostates will NOT be tolerated..
Just remember not to clench too hard and nothing should rip. Lube isn’t natural down there so if you feel moist you’ve either had an accident or there is some bleeding.
🤣 🤣 🤣
Just take yourself a deep breath and have a TRUMP Day, MAGA!!! 😀😀😀😀😀
For the record Mitch didn’t vote against her. He was voting against a previous bill and became unfrozen at just the wrong moment.
For the rest of them…. Well, a reckoning is coming, and now it’s well on the way.
Mitch the Bitch.. he needs gone. Here’s hoping for a successful primary against him..
Donald Trump needs to personally campaign against these Rinos in the primaries, so there is no doubt in people’s mind who’s a Rino and who is not.
Mitch said he isn’t running for reelection.
Too bad he won’t resign first.
C`mon Kentucky, step away from the bourbon.
Mitch became unfrozen
Tourette’s or a TIA?
They aren’t saying.

Mitch “Blubberneck” McConnell is a lifelong DC sewer critter who needs to be removed.
Big win.
Can the MAGA faction primary out all those Rinos that refused to support the President’s agenda?
A traitor in the DNI position is not a fucking “win”.
The only traitor here is your sorry ass. Now, crawl back into your hole and eat a bag of dicks.
I am not playing you dumb fuck.
She is literally a traitor and verifiably lied during her confirmation.
But you are such a brainwashed partisan fuckstain you celebrate a Russian asset as DNI just because she opportunistically switched parties a few years ago.
Damn. I must have hit a nerve.
Are you that guy in the SHARP vignettes that got assraped and had to get out because nobody believed it was non-consensual?
If “everybody knows she’s a traitor”, why was she allowed to advance through her Army career under the watchful eyes of the Biden Regime. You hate her because she torpedoed your dear sweet Mam-ala and left the Diddycrat Plantation. Fuck off, prick.
Once again…
Point out the lie. Quote it. Pretend you’re smarter than the rest of us and make an honest attempt to educate us all. You’re a fraud. I’d refer to you as a “useful idiot” but the reality is that you’re really not that useful.
Give it a rest commisar, and tell us who you see as imminently more qualified to anybody Trump has picked. Let’s hear your preferred selections.
Speaking of liars and grifters, and a bit off topic, but another democrat found guilty on 10 of 17(!!!) charges.
Maybe some of my former governor’s can get him up to speed on stamping license plates.

.
Anyone you personally disapprove of is “a fucking “win”.”
Is she giving you nightmares, Commissar?
Interesting how you only decided she was a traitor once she left the dimorat party… ooh, wait, THAT’s what you meant..
Tulsi Gabbard is a traitor.
And that is not my words, that is words of people I know that worked for and with her.
Republicans clearly don’t care about national security anymore.
We are fucking cooked.
Russian propaganda literally brainwashed an entire party.
And I see Russian propaganda regurgitated on this blog constantly.
Russia is paying right wing influencers tens of millions per week to spread this bullshit.
Several YouTubers and TikTok creators have been caught and just said they didn’t know the $100,000 per week they were being paid was coming from Russia.
You heard right from the horse’s asses mouth that a Lt. Col in the US Army is traitor. Forget she went through 5 or more different FBI background checks over the years…
Just take they/them’s word for it because of some random creator on YouTuber got paid by a third party. Go fuck yourself because ALL THE LEFTS’S SECRETS are about to be exposed…
You don’t know what the fuck you are are talking about.
And the notion that she can’t be compromised because she is a LTC is comical.
She also did not have 5 FBI background checks.
Tom Cotton is a lying piece of shit.
They blocked the normal FBI background check for her nomination, and she didn’t get one for her Top Secret, that was conducted by contractors and she was not compromised when it was conducted.
Good point. What was the name of the two Ukranian brothers that were officers in our Army and sold out to Selensky? The Vindman brothers, I think?
So says the former Major who was compromised somehow down the line.
Major? If you mean major fuck-up and not O-4 Maj. Fuck-up then I believe the latter.
My bet is that Major Moonbat was the SLJO, the Shitty Little Jobs Officer in every unit he served in after getting commissioned!
You do realize that contractors conduct all TS clearances? I say that as a current TS/SCI holder. Try again, cry harder.
Hold it, hold it, hold it…Pump the fucking breaks…
The Commissar knows ALL. Just close up Langley & Ft. Meade and run everything this douchebag. Yup, US Senators know nothing, but some rando commie pinko soy boi is IN THE KNOW.
Yet he claims that fat body Vindeman ISN’T a traitor…
Sorry dude, noone is buying your bullshit
Boi….(Gurl?!? )
🤣
Did you get Doged by the evil Elon Tusk?
I detect an increased chemical imbalance in your mind of lately.
Do you remember back in November 2020 after Joseph Robinette Biden stole the elections, how you showed up here all giddy celebrating, not knowing it would come back and bite you in the ass?
That was Awesome!
This is you all day every day.
“And that is not my words, that is words of people I know that worked for and with her.”
I want quotes, references, documented facts. C’mon man, you know, the thing, EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE.
“Russian propaganda literally brainwashed an entire party.”
You are correct, accidently. “Intel officials” implied Hunter Biden’s laptop was Rssian propaganda and the entire liberal/progressive democrat party swallowed it like Linda Lovelace on a dick. You didn’t gag one bit. Very impressive.
Yep, lots of Russian propaganda. just like hunters laptop… OOh wait, you can tell the truth about that now, since the dementia patient pardoned him…
And?
Tik Tok creaters being paid. Hundreds of thousands by Russia? That is just nuts. Next you will be saying the Federal Government gave millions to Politico.
Tulsi Gabbard is not only now the DNI, she has succeeded well past you in the Military! 😀 Take a deep breath, and have a MAGA Day, BTW the toaster is plugged in and ready, all you need to do is hop into the bathtub! 😄
All I’m gonna say…about her.
Tulsi sez…Hold my beach towel and watch this…
https://woophy.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Tulsi-Gabbard-Bikini-photos.webp
Ah, dammit.
Please let this be real
I think it is, Lil’ Bro. I stole it, unashamedly, from this site on Al Glorebull’s amazing inherwebz. You know that the inherwebz is not just for pr0n anymore…right?
https://thecount.com/2022/11/15/tulsi-gabbard-bikini/
There’s pr0n on the innertubes? Jeez, ya coulda told somebody!
Boy o boy o boy !!!
Dammit, I totally forgot what we were arguing about
Seems cold at that beach…
😆 🤣 😂
I am not going to argue with you asshats.
You all twisted yourselves in knots making excuses to ignore the fact that Trump stole hundreds of classified documents AFTER he was not president. Many of which were never recovered.
No point in trying to convince a bunch of smoothbrain drones that willfully consume and share Russian propaganda week in and week out.
What’s done is done.
No going back.
You all are in the find out phase now.
I am just pissed you dragged out country along with you and it will cost America almost everything.
In four years, we will no longer be a superpower, our national security will be impossible to secure, we won’t be part of NATO, our intelligence capacity will be in shambles – with allies no longer will to share to shore up the capacity we lost, in fact – we will have no close allies, and will have aligned ourselves geopolitically with non-democratic countries run by dictators.
Our economy won’t last 18 months without recession. And we may see the collapse of the dollar in the next 36 months.
But keep celebrating your ‘team’ “winning.”
You all chose to put your party over your country.
FAFO.
The fact you think Harris/Walz was a winning team — or even the better choice is pants-shitting hilarious.
Edit: The only way I’d be even remotely inclined to agree with you would be if the democrats hadn’t pulled the shit they did these last four years. The voters stuck a middle finger right in their faces and told them plain as day what they think of them, their policies, their ideas (or lack thereof), their priorities and STILL they refuse to see that and double down with their bullshit. Even Carville, who I normally can’t stand, says they’re fucking idiots.
They did this. If you and your side hate this so much — thank yourselves.
I am screenshooting this for posterity.
Noone has ever been as wrong in both domestic and foreign policy since Joe Biden.
Yeah
He is going to look like a genius when Trump sells California to Putin for 12 cases of Vodka and a crate of Matryoshia Dolls.
Notice I didn’t specify which “he”.
Joe Biden couldn’t be wrong on policy. He didn’t set any policies.
The dollar was on a path to collapse before Trump was elected due to the naked emperor Biteme’s non plan to handle the BRICS rise. Trump is our best chance of reversing the decline.
“I am not going to argue with you asshats”
Yes you will. Tilting at windmills is kinda your thing.
“No going back.”
That’s kinda the point. We don’t want to go back.
“You all chose to put your party over your country.”
You’re 180 off on that. We put country over party. The dems however… sacrificed their very existence by putting party first. You put Kamala up for president, you really believe that’s putting country first?
Still winning. And you’re still a fraud.
They know….
Biden explicitly said he was withdrawing from the race to give his party better chances of winning.
The Democrats quite literally put party ahead of country.
Here ya go, spapos…
I’m sure in DJT’s first term you lectured about about who knows how much shit that never came true:
-Crash the economy
-Start a war with Russia, -China, -North Korea, etc…
-Put people like you “Gay Conversion” camps
-Black people would slaves again
Yada, yada, yada…
Of course, NONE of it was true. Trump & Putin are talking about peace in Ukraine after 3 weeks while Biden never made an effort in 3 years because he was making money for him and his cronies on the destruction. But hey, you keep-on-doing-you. I mean that serious…fuck yourself.
…
Yeah, it’s clear that Netanyahu hates us.. OOH, wait, he’s one of the evil leaders perpetrating genocide on the poos peace loving pali’s…
What is wrong with you? You keep spouting off to an audience that never agrees with you. Or, perhaps, just as one of the Dear Abby’s or Ann Landers or some one like that used to get outrageous letters from frat houses; the letters were sent as a sort of adolescent joke. Some of the letters were published with her response before she caught on to it. I guess it was pre-internet trolling.
Is that what your up to? I must say it is getting old.
Immature. He probably lives in his mommy’s basement.
No probably about it..
I’m thinkin it’s just a lot of AI.
Damn entertaining though when you can get the mouse to
take the cheese.
How many Soros bucks do you get per response?
Commissar/Комиссар… I corrected it for you:
You all twisted yourselves in knots making excuses to ignore the fact that Biden stole hundreds of classified documents BEFORE he was president. On January 9, 2023, CBS News reported that attorneys for U.S. President Joe Biden discovered classified government documents in his former office at the Penn Biden Center in Washington, D.C., and in his personal residence in Wilmington, Delaware, dating to his time in the United States Senate and his vice presidency in the Obama administration, Many of which were never recovered.
As well as in his garage next to his Corvette, that and his other hero Das Hildebeast with her storing classified information on an unsecured server, her minions smashing hard drives, …
My shop has a large rock outside the door, nice flat top. It’s used for (legal) destruction of hard drives via sledge hammer when our hydraulic punch is down. The rock is named Hillary.
No no no, you can’t introduce facts into a Commissar rant, that’s not fair, its just mean!
I’ve been definitely finding out. Here’s what I’ve found out (note: I’m similar to the guy in the stylish red hat):
Jesus fucking Christ. I am just astounded at how absolutely fucking massively retarded, ignorant and clueless. Fucking Commissar is.
I mean, it really is hard to believe that this guy 100% is so brainwashed that he actually believes all the shit he’s spewing.
I mean, there’s no question it’s possible, but if it’s 100% true, it’s absolutely headshaking.
Sad. (Like our big orange meanie says.)
I think that if Commissar is just coming in here to be an adversarial prick for jollies, then I get it, but he sucks at that too.
I mean, this isn’t even an impressive troll compared to the sock puppets we used to have.
Commie-Tzar just exudes toddler fucking energy.
And I’ll just leave this here
Maybe brain addled retard boy can try to suck somebody’s dick and get a guest spot on The View “ohhhhh so brave, so courageous, very demure, very mindful…”
