* Re: Hillary Clinton and Tulsi Gabbard.

This is Not Helping, Ms. Clinton. Way to take people's eyes off the frigging ball! Outright calling Tulsi Gabbard a Russian Asset leads us to a debate we did not need. I dislike Ms. Gabbard for a bunch of reasons, but it's not like her campaign is going to go anywhere. This feels very attention grabby about nonsense when we really need to be laser focusing on important stuff.

So I’m likely not going to post most on this unless something substantive occurs. I am irritated and disappointed that we are having this conversation at all. Trump-Ukraine, Trump-Turkey, the literal genocide we green lighted last week, etc. are all way more important, so that’s where I’m going to be looking.
