    Trump has “proven to be one of the best debaters in political history…"

    What? What a weird statement.

      Imagine trying to think while a dimwitted centaur’s front end plays an invisible accordion to accompany his dementia-riddled and bigoted stream-of-consciousness.

      Trump would rarely be the best debater in the room.

    I don’t think there’s anything special that Gabbard did in that debate to make Kamala selfdestruct. She just asked her about the laughing about smoking weed after locking people up for smoking weed. Kamala had no answer prepared and in general isn’t great at thinking on her feet. Kamala’s prep needs to be better this time, otherwise it could be a repeat of the dem debates which could be catastropic in a close race.

      Harris better be ready this time because I assume Trump will be coached to try that jab too.

    Tulsi “I Love Putin” Gabbard.

    And that was before she started pushing that “U.S. bio weapons labs in Ukraine” lie.

    What is Gabbard’s story these days? She hates Harris (nothing wrong with that: in the US we are all entitled to hate any politicians we want)? Or she aligns with Trump in deeper ways now? I remember Gabbard from the 2020 Dem primary. She clobbered Harris pretty well back then. But she didn’t come across as even slightly likely to sympathize with Trump.

    Since then, she has been on Fox News a lot. I wonder if it changed her?

      She’s a grifter and has always been a grifter.

      Hillary Clinton called Tulsi out explicitly as a Russian asset. I think she was right about that.

      There’s some evidence she’s a cult member, and was posturing as some kind of Manchurian candidate.

      No, really.

      Mike Prysner has made a few decent podcasts (QAA, eyes left) following her political career and service. I don’t think you can definitionally tie her to membership, but she’s got some questionable associations.

      She is showing typical grifter behavior like many who changed their ideologies on a dime to further self interest.

      Tulsi Gabbard is part of the Science of Identity cult. She was literally raised in this cult and is Chris Butler’s heir apparent. They’re viciously anti-gay and she lied to the voters to be elected in Hawaii as a Democrat.

      Q-Anon Anonymous did a great episode about this
