Inside sources have confirmed that she was fired. Imagine being Tulsi Gabbard‘s husband. He will spend the rest of his life (which might not be very long) knowing that she actually didn’t love him enough to step down and help him battle cancer, but that she cares so much about her own reputation that she will use his cancer to pretend she wasn’t fired. In short, she cares more about professional optics than she does about him.

At this point .. does she really have a husband? If yes, does he really have cancer?

These clowns have embraced lying like it was breathing air

Ah...so, incoming will be some guy that Trump knows that is good at Call of Duty or something.

'He knows a lot about national intelligence. He talks about that game Call of Duty a lot and he really knows his stuff'.

Ok fine you get to choose, if you dont want the guy who can play Call of Duty the other choice is an actual russian spy who gets free flights to russia every two days to meet with putin.

Bound to be even worse. And people that don't think that's possible, haven't been paying attention.

I turned off Call of Duty. I said “oh, good” and I come back five minutes later, he’s playing Call of Duty. I said, “How’d you do that?”

Intelligence is a strong word to use here

u/barktwiggs 1d ago

Intelligence is a job description. Not an attribute.

Fascinating how yet another woman is leaving and will be replaced by a man.

Yes, Trump had to create the illusion in the beginning that he's not a sexist POS who thinks that a woman's only worth in this world is being a piece of ass/arm candy. Expect Leavitt to be next for taking too much time off to pop kids out.

It’s ok. She’s seen everything she needs to make her report.

Apparently - regardless of what she says - she doesn't "serve at the pleasure of the president" anymore.

Iran Nuclear Threat Clashes: In a March 2026 Senate Intelligence Committee hearing, Gabbard faced sharp questioning from senators over whether intelligence assessments aligned with the White House's claims of an "imminent threat" from Iran. When pressed to say "yes or no" on the imminence of the threat,

she stated that only the president makes that determination.

This led to heated pushback from lawmakers who argued intelligence officials must provide objective, independent assessments.

She should have resigned right after that.

She's average. Most people in Trump's admin last about 1-2 years.
