Tulsi Gabbard's Attempt To Save Trump Pathetic Even By Tulsi Gabbard's Standards
In a just world, American political life would long have been rid of Tulsi Gabbard. In a just world, this weird mixture of desperation and toadyism would have served a couple of undistinguished terms in Congress, come in 127th in a Democratic presidential primary behind Joe Biden and a coffee spill shaped like Eleanor Roosevelt, then taken her spirit of aloha and fucked off back to Hawaii, where she could live out her days surfing and chanting about sacred turtle eggs or whatever her cult of disaffected Hare Krishnas worships.
But we live in an unjust world, one in which convicted felon Donald Trump became president of the United States and appointed Gabbard to oversee America’s entire intelligence apparatus. Now she is trying to pay him back by doing the only thing he cares about: proving that Barack Obama and other members of the Deep State tried to pull off a coup against him by accusing him of colluding with Russia to fix the 2016 election.
We guess as DNI she’s supposed to be protecting America or something, but hey whatever, there is pretend treachery to pretend to uncover. And Gabbard has flow charts, so there.
Gabbard and her allies — including Matt Taibbi, who probably spends all his time these days in a Faraday cage so the Deep State can’t read his email or his thoughts — spent the last few days hyping this document dump as proof that there was a plot against Trump. Furthermore, this plot is WORSE THAN WATERGATE, the ne plus ultra of presidential scandals for lazy people who need a shorthand reference. And because these are Republicans making the charge, we don’t know if they mean the actual scandal as it happened, or if they are accusing the Deep State of having set up Richard Nixon. Most likely the second one.
