1. Was she ever in the party?

[EYESORE 9001]

8. She's always been outside the big tent

but she urinated into it frequently.

[Pacifist Patriot]

34. Oh I have to remember that one!

[yardwork]

38. Too funny!

41. Ummm, does being Vice Chair of the DNC count?

"On January 22, 2013, Gabbard was unanimously elected to a four-year term as a vice chair of the Democratic National Committee"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tulsi_Gabbard#Democratic_National_Committee

And of course she was also elected to the U.S. House of Representatives as a Democrat. At one time or another it seems she pulled one over on virtually the entire Democratic Party, but the truth finally caught up to her. She's young, and was on a trajectory to potential leadership inside the Democratic Party some day. All of that thrown away. Good riddance.

[mikeysnot]

89. Ummm

I meant that sarcastically…

[Tom Rinaldo]

91. Got it. I didn't think you meant it literally...

...it was just a convenient place to point out just how much a part of the Democratic Party she once was. Many are not aware of that. Sorry for the element of snark

[betsuni]

2. LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLO TOO MUCH!

Bernie Sanders: "Tulsi Gabbard has put her life on the line to defend this country. People can disagree on issues, but it is outrageous for anyone to suggest that Tulsi is a foreign asset."

[allegorical oracle]

26. Am stunned! (sarcasm)... almost lost a dear friend back in the day when Bernie was running

for Prez. Kept 'splaining how she was disingenuous -- and he wouldn't believe me. Won't throw it up to him, now, 'tho (HA).

[betsuni]

37. I lost many friends because of this whole populist pro-Russia bullshit.

[ecstatic]

54. He can be so naive and out of touch sometimes. nt

[Mister Ed]

76. We'll, he's certainly mistaken if he thinks a veteran can't be a foreign asset.

I offer General Flynn as Exhibit A.

[Hortensis]

86. :) She was attacking the Democratic Party and Hillary

as corrupt and incompetent while he was running for president on much the same themes. Naive to believe such things, but some do.

She afterward tried to get him to hire her and put her on his stage, but I suspect he wasn't nearly naive enough to take in someone so self destructive and untrustworthy. There were already swarms of attack dogs in and around his campaign anyway.

There were also big questions of just how much of an asset she was to Russia, while our intelligence agencies felt a need to warn Senator Sanders and the public (!) that Russia was assisting his and tRump's presidential campaigns and targeting his supporters with subversive propaganda. Maybe it wasn't so naive, or out of touch, to keep a distance while she continued to do her thing anyway.

I can't say 2016 seems innocent compared to now, but what I just wrote seems almost more James Bondish at the moment than "The Joker" and "Two-Face." They were already extremely busy too, of course.

3. A big fan of Russia is she

The "warmongers" comment is telling.

7. Buh bye..

[thomski64]

13. Did she mention where she was going?

Nazi? Green? Hezbollah? or just plain
every day tre45on trumpinista?

[sop]

30. Probably Libertarian.

[Aristus]

62. One thing is for sure: she needs a Ba'ath.

10. Piss Off Lady

adios

[Mike Nelson]

11. Ha-ha!

... she's spent her political capitol and is no longer able to masquerade. Good.

[maxrandb]

12. Don't let the door hit you where the good lord split you. NT

[CentralMass]

15. Bye now.

[Mr. Ected]

16. At least we can all drop the pretense of protecting her, even mildly, from criticism

The mere fact that she carried a -D behind her name can no longer insulate her from our ire. She didn't leave the party, she took off her mask.

We knew the monster underneath it was scarier than the image she portrayed.

[SheltieLover]

24. This!👆

Well stated!

[MyMission]

17. Anti-white racism?!?!

Is she officially joining the GOPQ, or will she claim to be independent?

Not that I care. Good riddance to her!

[NQAS]

18. That reads like a madlibs

Would you hire someone who wrote or thought like this? Hateful. Racist. Sad. Pathetic. Gibberish. Imagine going through your life with this kind of garbage circulating through your brain? There is no there, there.

[Norbert]

19. In other news; the sun is bright.

Bye!

22. Gab are was never a real Democrat

Link to tweet

[Nay]

64. No, she wasn't, and it irks the shit out of me that she was ever allowed to claim

that she was. And that she held high positions? Madness.

Wake up, leadership. Not EVERYBODY can be in the Democratic tent. Be more sensible, please.

[Justice matters.]

23. "God-given freedoms"

Sounds like a patriarchy-dependent subservient to me...

She's like one step away from the Fascist Christaliban magats.

Good riddance. Don't let the door hit you on your way out.

[Joinfortmill]

27. Good riddance. Beware former Green Party members

[Celerity]

53. Yep, look at Sinema. Hopefully Gallego will crush her in the 2024 primaries.

28. "Good bye cruel world."

I thought this whackjob already left the party years ago. I guess she thinks nobody heard her the first time?

32. Don't let the door hit you on your way out.

Bye Felicia!

[DetlefK]

35. But... but... but... who is Russia supposed to support now in the democratic presidential primary???

Seriously. If you look back at russian reporting on the 2020 democratic presidential primary, they hated Elizabeth Warren the most and just loooooved Tulsi Gabbard.

[SergeStorms]

36. I'm shocked.

Not.

Being a Democrat was just a stepping stone for her anyway. Fare-thee-well.....Ms. Gabbard. Don't let the door hit 'ya where the good lord split 'ya.

We didn't really count on you for anything but being a pain in the ass anyway.

[Bristlecone]

39. Surprised she said DemocratIC Party

Elitist cabal of warmongers driven by cowardly wokeness….


she is auditioning to wet her beak in some of that crazy, right-wing grift money.

[Wounded Bear]

80. Sometimes it takes them a while to get the rhetorical flourishes down...nt

[betsuni]

40. How was she ever a Democrat?

I never saw anybody insisting she was a huge big progressive ever say anything about her actual progressiveness except for anti-Democratic insults about neoliberal-warmoger-imperialist-blah-blah-blah.

[durablend]

42. Soon we'll be hearing from the "liberal media"

"Tulsi Gabbard, like many other Democrats, are leaving the party. Why is this happening?!?!?!?"

[Ferrets are Cool]

43. WarMongers???

Did I miss something?

[Docreed2003]

44. She really knows how to cover all the RW talking points

"Elite cabal", "warmongers", "wokeness", "racializing", "anti-white"...


Wow...🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️. Now if only this Russian asset would do is all a favor and go back to Moscow

[rubbersole]

45. She might appear as a faux news anchor pretty soon.

[RAB910]

46. Putin decided it was time for her to leave?

[carpetbagger]

51. Nah, she ran out of ways to get attention. Nt

[DFW]

48. You mean that up to now she still WAS a member of the Democratic Party?

I guess she was chomping at the bit to leave off the "-ic" and saw no other way to do it.

[honest.abe]

49. She is such a fraud.

Good she is out of the Dem Party.

[fanfanois]

50. Haha

She was a Democrat?

[niyad]

68. Welcome to our DU family.

[ecstatic]

52. Lady, you were canceled years ago in 2019 or 2020.

I can't remember when, but it was probably the moment I donated to your replacement in Hawaii. I'm pretty sure you knew what was up when you preemptively resigned and the only person who wanted to talk to you was Tucker.

[Emile]

55. She no longer endorses Joe Biden?

[FelineOverlord]

56. 😂😂😂

Tulski is getting trashed in Twitter replies.

No on seems surprised or sorry.

58. Who does Tulsi Gabbard appeal to?

If she isn't a fake Democrat that says stuff to make GOPers feel better, then who is she? Just another dead weight GOP grifter feeding off the corpse of the Republican party. I figure she'll make up and go back to pretending to be a Democrat after the election because that's her gig. Being an ex-Democrat ruins her business angle.

[Lunabell]

59. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

She's a putin fan girl.

[BradAllison]

60. Can we criticize her now....?

Or will the usual suspects be here to "tsk tsk" us or do they finally get it now?

[dalton99a]

65. "Bernie is not a Democrat. Tulsi is not a Democrat. Therefore Tulsi should be treated like Bernie"

Just watch

[Aristus]

63. "Elitist", "woke", "warmongers", "anti-white racism".

The only thing she forgot to Putin her Tweet was:

"Dees messidge pedd for by Vladeemeer Puteen."

[BradAllison]

66. Did she hit the MAGA bingo card?

[Aristus]

67. I think she missed "PC" and "SJW", but I'm sure she's working on it.

[William Seger]

82. Well, "woke" is just the new proxy for PC+SJW

"Cowardly wokeness" means not having the guts to stand up for White privilege.

73. demmiblue..............

Thanks for the post....

To Tulsi Gabbard: DON'T LET THE DOOR HIT YOU IN THE A**!

[relayerbob]

74. Another hypocrite bites the dust

[PatSeg]

75. Does she really believe

that anyone really cares? Apparently she is not getting enough attention these days. That said, I'd assumed she'd left the party a long time ago.

[Blue Owl]

77. Ta-ta, Tulsi

[packman]

78. That -"I can no longer remain-" screed is straight out of Fox News

If she is that brain-dead - good riddance

[Warpy]

79. How soon will she defect to Mother Russia?

That's really the question here.
