I have read her statement, yes.

It's understandable on its face, but Gabbard has shown a pattern of contrarianism that just makes her look like a spoiled brat. The vast majority of the time before that particular impeachment vote, she voted "not present".

And this is the candidate you are saying is the strongest one for 2020, and she doesn't even have 1% support. She's adopted 2014 Obama's failed "bipartisan" philosophy.

To be clear, the two of those things are not directly related. Biden and Buttigieg, for example, are both also pushing the bipartisanship for the sake of bipartisanship line and are doing a lot better. Both of them also have a lot more in their favor than Gabbard.

Sure.

I just like to stick that to Gabbard drones who like to pretend she's so uniquely principled.

If that's how you think adults act you need to find better adult role models. She admits she thinks he's guilty but then won't do anything about it because she says she believes asinine, lying Republican talking points.

And she is incapable of doing her current job, let alone POTUS

Tulsi Gabbard missed 85% of House votes this fall.

I liked some of what she said on JRE about how the US shouldn't constantly be fighting wars but she has since lost any credibility in my view.

Won't do anything? Really? Why don't you know about what she does? Do you know that she inserted a resolution on December 18th, 2019, that calls to censure Trump over

Gabbard House Resolution said:
[...]

Whereas President Trump has undermined America’s national security and the safety of our people with a growing list of unconstitutional and reckless actions, including but not limited to:

(1) Violating the War Powers Resolution and Article I of the Constitution by carrying out acts of war without Congressional approval.

(2) Illegally and unconstitutionally using U.S. military forces to occupy and pillage oilfield reserves of Syria, a sovereign nation.

(3) Recklessly enabling President Erdogan of Turkey to invade and occupy Northern Syria and conduct ethnic cleansing of Syrian Kurds.

(4) Continued support for Saudi Arabia’s genocidal war in Yemen that has caused death, suffering, and starvation.

(5) Recklessly abandoning nuclear agreements and treaties, like the INF treaty with Russia and the Iran nuclear agreement, thereby increasing the risk of nuclear war, nuclear proliferation, and war with Iran.

Isn't it true that the crowd here intensively looks the other way when topics like this are brought up while they pretend some moral high ground? Isn't it true that freaks like that should be ignored by adult commentators?

Oh no, not a censure! She thinks he is guilty but won't do her constitutional duty to impeach him because to her all we really need is a formal statement that Trump was a naughty boy and... nothing else.

It's no different than politicians who will periodically say they're "disturbed" by Trump's actions or policies and then go right back to supporting him.

My favorite part

(3) call on President Donald J. Trump to refrain from any conduct that invites foreign interference in United States elections or undermines United States Government investigations into foreign interference;

(4) call on President Donald J. Trump and the executive branch of government to respect the constitutionally defined separation of powers;

(5) strongly urges President Donald J. Trump to uphold his oath of office as established by the Constitution of the United States and fulfill his constitutional responsibilities to the American people; and

(6) call on President Donald J. Trump to acknowledge and admit wrongdoing as outlined in this Resolution and apologize to the American people.

We just have to call him a naughty boy and ask that he stop acting the way he always has and now we can all move along. Nothing to see here!
 
Biden said we're all dead if we don't get rid of fossil fuels and he's ready to put energy company execs in prison. LOL -- and this is the Dems' leading candidate. I wonder if he'll lock up his son first, for his crime of having been on the board of an energy company. In any case, I'm sure AOC is a lock to be his Secretary of Energy if he somehow gets elected.

Given the level of corruption and law-breaking that a few too many of said energy executives have rather certainly engaged in (Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, especially), it may well be well past time to do so, honestly. That's before it comes to too many of them making highly unethical decisions that seriously harm large numbers of people for the benefit of a very few.

The_Animus is absolutely correct. Calling on Trump to behave in a congressional resolution 1) won't get squat support and 2) even if it did, it would have zero effect on Trump.

What's wrong with illegal wars, stealing oil from other countries, encouraging a mad sultan to invade Rojava, helping dark-age penguins to genocide some brown people and cancelling international agreements?

I want back someone who can give a nice face to that like Obama! And that phone call was wrong!

FTFY
 
I'm really curious what the hell it is Gabbard is playing at here. She isn't going to win the primary and she's burning every bridge with Democrats. She isn't running for re-election in her home state. Not sure what she gets for ingratiating herself to conservatives who don't really want anything to do with her.

Maybe it's a gambit to be a token "liberal" commentator on Fox News?
