    Girl Guide? Do you ever think before making such comments? Because of her service and the willingness to lay down her life for her country.

    Boards is accessible to non-members. And historic threads are all there to be read also. So, you know your comment is illogical. And thinking someone's opinion is invalidated because of post-count is also nonsense.

    How does that even make sense? You think the Russians thought to themselves "Woops, Robert. Got me. I stop now"?

    I also take it that you didn't read the summary of the report into Russian interference in the 2016 election.


    It makes much more sense than believing that Russians influenced people via platforms like Facebook to go and vote against their own wishes. Trump won the election fair and square. Get over it.



    I'd also refer you to the comment above from Franz - "You guys are literally the modern incarceration of the US imperialist right during the Cold War" - you probably think you are all progressive too. You've been completely duped.

    So you've been this opinionated but silent for some time? What triggered you, to use one of your lots Nickelodeonesque Trumpisms?

    Point to where i have ever used the word "triggered"? You see, putting people in boxes when they dont agree with you or insulting them is really not the way to go in these sorts of discussions. As i said on this thread today, nuance isnt a strong point from some on here. The fact you all seem to have a common political leaning is interesting but probably not indicative given the sample size. Interesting nonetheless.

    I don't think membership of any organisation gives the member defacto honour or respect.
    If she put her life on the line for the U.S. I feel sorry for her unless she did it for her career.

    EDIT:
    On August 7, 2018, the Honolulu Star-Advertiser reported that the Hawaii Army National Guard had instructed Gabbard that a video of her in uniform on her VoteTulsi Facebook page did not comply with military ethics rules.

    Oh, dear...

    The "winner" of these debates is very subjective and can be safely disregarded. What matters ultimately is how it changes polling. Right now, Warren and Biden are neck and neck with Bernie a distant third. In fact, Biden's polling has barely changed and it looks like Warren is absorbing Sanders supporters.

    With regard to Gabbard, she's barely registering. She'll probably provide some soundbytes for Russia Today and Trumpy twitter but I don't see her having much of a productive impact.


    Unadulterated bollocks. Sanders is pissing all over Biden.

    Speaking of the 2020 race I’ll say one thing about Fox News (RIP from sky box) it was nearly constant political news machine and I used to get my fix (swerving the clear bias) of US presidential races of the past.

    What channel, on sky selection, would I get my late night geopolitical fix now? CNN doesn’t seem to work for me I don’t now why and not interested in websites just a news channel

    You can only get straight news online now. Jimmy Dore tells it like it is, I recommend The Duran for international news.

    Rupert didn’t get anything. The whole Steele dossier was a farce and the interference was a few tweets. Conversely the US interferes literally everywhere.

    Well you are clearly hating on a progressive democrat who opposes war with the catchcalls of a child.

    Trump. Russia. Putin. Russia Today.

    No thought required.

    I’ve opposed American imperialism all my life from the left. It’s pretty disgusting that the American left becomes dominant in Europe at the time when its at its most imperialistic.

    We can only hope that sanders or that branch of the party wins, or it could be curtains for us all.

    Tulsi Gabbard is the only one with a chance of beating Trump.
    Of course she appears to be anti war, that won't do.

    Of course if sanders does trend to win he will be called a stooge of Putin.

    In fact it’s happened already.

    https://eu.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2018/02/17/indictment-russians-also-tried-help-bernie-sanders-jill-stein-presidential-campaigns/348051002/

    And Jill stein too.

    https://thinkprogress.org/russia-jill-stein-2016-election-interference-48dff3966227/

    Tulsi, Stein, Sanders - all opposed to war, all stooges of Putin.

    Well she has no chance. Trump, who isn’t so much anti war as not in favour of as many wars as they would like him to be, was a shock to the establishment and it won’t happen again.

    I'm not sure, she has decided to toe the line somewhat, notice her approval of impeachment?
    She must know it's a pointless exercise.

    Gabbard clearly is not flawless and her previous support of Hindu nationalism is troubling. She also has approximately 0.00001% chance of winning and probably should have waited at least 4 years before running.

    However its important that their is someone asking tough questions about foreign policy and she clearly is the strongest on stage about such issues.

    Most of the other so called progressives were hopeless when Trump was plotting regime change , Gabbard was on fire regarding that.

    The smear machine has been brutal but to be expected. Its very much the Democrat media establishment still sulking after their beloved Clinton lost to an oaf despite having every advantage you could have.

    The Russian stooge stuff is bollocks, but their is a very vocal online Democrat machine who have been calling her that for years and its got through. This machine is very similar to right wing Trumpers.

    They deal in basic insults and they bank on their base living in echo chambers and so far both bases are correct.

    Clicking the reaction on Twitter to her last night, its the usual democrat establishment bores and right wing centrist dip****s screaming Putin~!!!!.

    Ah well.

    I guess it's just a coincidence then that this thread is full of Trump supporters and consumers of Russian propaganda fawning over her.

    You seem to know a lot about this 'wall to wall propaganda'.
    Go on and give us a few examples of what YOU consider propaganda. I'm genuinely interested.
