After meeting, Tulsi Gabbard vows to work with Trump

[ehrnst]

Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii) vowed to work with Donald Trump on the issues that matter to the American people, following a meeting between the two Monday at Trump Tower.

She did not, however, comment on whether she would join his administration.

Gabbard and Trump met in New York City to discuss U.S. policy in Syria, she said in a statement, though some have speculated she is under consideration to be the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations.
"President-elect Trump asked me to meet with him about our current policies regarding Syria, our fight against terrorist groups like al-Qaeda and [the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria], as well as other foreign policy challenges we face," Gabbard said.

1. How nice for her.

I'm guessing he didn't grab her pussy.

4. LOL/NT

[leftofcool]

2. Go ahead Tulsi, who is not a Democrat.

[etherealtruth]

3. Not a suprise

[loyalsister]

5. What's so wrong with our peeps being informed?

She is taking an opportunity to infiltrate his administration. We need our people to try to have some influence or at least know what is happening behind the scenes.

[COLGATE4]

7. Oh, she knows what is happening behind the scenes. That

Trump wants a couple of Quisling Democrats to put the "bi-partisan' varnish on his fuck-ups. And our Tulsi is more than happy to oblige him.

[loyalsister]

8. Riggght

So, you've been in on the national security briefings and strategies that have yet to take place? He's going to be secretive. We need to at least try to have some infiltrators. I'm assuming the worst of Trump. Throw it all in the trash if you want, but if we have some allies in the inner circle it may minimize the damage. Kind of like how some of Obama's appointments helped protect big banks.

9. Tulsi is in it for Tulsi. Period.

15. She is a long-time RWNJ, who became a Trojan horse

to derail the DNC. She did a pretty good job, eh

She hates Muslims, President Obama, and gays.

[Omaha Steve]

16. Was in power in DNC!

RWNJ? Trojan horse?

[obamanut2012]

20. Feel free to post your PA popcorn -- she is a well-known RWNJ

She and her entire family.

She suddenly did a heel-turn.

You may think people like Putin and Bannon and the "Alt Right" didn;t set up certain things in this election. TG is one of them. Fox in the henhouse.

[loyalsister]

17. Did Obama not make nice?

He's trying to be civil and offer some education on the off chance some will get through. It would be stupid not to.

Surely none of the spite in this thread has anything to do with her cam endorsement.

[obamanut2012]

19. Feel free to keep excusing and justifying her bigotry

She is a long-time bigot.

Shameful of you to compare her to President Obama.

"Spite" -- lololololololololol

This has nothing to do with Bernie. Most of us aren't myopic and spiteful. This isn't JPR.

[loyalsister]

23. I think enough bigotry was forgiven during the 2016 election cycle

The point here for those absorbed in personality shit is that someone who has been on our side at least as much as Joe Manchin is in a position to possibly plant bugs in the ears of the opposition.
I wonder if the people who call her a bigot notice have defended anyone who used the language "Islamic extremism"?

[gulliver]

24. She's not going to be in an inner circle.

She'll be the Christine Todd Whitman or Tom Ridge or Colin Powell.

[uponit7771]

10. no... if there's a question of what's going on after Bannon and Sessions then the person isn't payin

... close enough attention.

Fuck that... don't allow him to get any "bipartisan" tag on shit... this admin is already ATFU... they know good and well what's going on

[loyalsister]

12. Who, then do we expect to offer any kind of rational voice

We should do what we can to play the game while resisting. It is just downright stupid to throw in the towel without making some effort to operate on the inside. People who advocate that are selling us all out as much as the 46% non voters.

[uponit7771]

13. Lucifer, she's a woman... they're going to be trying to grab her and shit and not listen

... at all.

She wont be a check on anything other than how everyone else looks

These people are fucked up, I expect nothing better from them

[loyalsister]

14. I have low expectations, too

But, that is no reason to not look for ways to sneak some truth in if possible. I feel negative too, but shooting down every single possibility it backwards thinking.

[msongs]

6. let's hope she resigns her seat to work for trump - hawaii gets a NEW congressperson YAY! nt

[kcr]

11. What a shock

[BainsBane]

18. Of course

They are ideologically in sync.

My mom says she is a real-life troll in the Dem party. The more I see, the more I agree.

[obamanut2012]

21. I agree, she is

Although others in this thread think it's spiteful and about Bernie to say it.

Look at her history. Look at what she is doing no. She is TRojan horse for the "alt right."

[BainsBane]

22. It's unfortunate they continue to form

Allegiances around a past primary rather than based on what politicians do and say.
