    Let's hope she will be convinced it's the right thing to do.
    She would be even better if she just devotes herself to whistleblowing, though there are certainly a lot of dangers inherent in taking that on.
    I think she has the fortitude.

    I very much doubt that Tulsi's idea of the government giving every American $1000 per month to get through the corona virus crisis has a snowball's chance in hell of happening.
    Not because it wouldn't be just, in view of what the government IS spending on, but because it would highlight what little safety net there actually is for most people in a crisis.

    Maybe we need a major campaign to ask Tulsi Gabbard again to start the ProD(emocratic) Party

    I see Tulsi Gabbard in a beautiful simple white dress with ruby and blue sapphire necklace. For once her hair is swept up in a chignon. She looks so at ease and full of joy. The swearing in progresses and then FINALLY President Gabbard.....

    Received this in my email today from Tulsi Gabbard, I have supported her campaign, as she is the only candidate that makes any sense to me, and receive emails and notifications. She had a phone call 'Townhall Meeting' yesterday on cv19 along with the Lt Governor of Hawaii covering many of the topics in the above video in post #82.

    I want you to hear this from me first. I owe you an incredible debt of gratitude for all you’ve done as the heart and soul of our people-powered campaign: Today, I’ve made the decision to suspend my campaign for the presidency.

    Here’s why:



    Our nation is facing an unprecedented global crisis that highlights the inextricable bonds of humanity, and how foreign policy and domestic policy are inseparable. We are all in this together and we must all rise to meet this moment — in service to our country and our fellow man.

    This is not the first time we have faced adversity together. And it will not be the last.

    After the terrorist attack by al-Qaeda on our country on 9/11, we stood together as Americans, motivated to serve, marshaling our forces to defeat our common enemy. I and so many others enlisted in the military to do just that. Likewise today, as Americans and all of humanity, we face a common enemy. It is once again time, as Americans and as neighbors in this global community, that we stand together, and work hand in hand to defeat this new enemy — the coronavirus.

    Throughout my life, and this campaign, my motivation has been to serve God, our country, and the American people as best I can. I feel that the best way I can be of service at this time is to continue to work for the health and wellbeing of the people of Hawaii and our country in Congress, and to stand ready to serve in uniform should the Hawaii National Guard be activated.

    After Tuesday’s primary results, it is clear that Democratic Primary voters have chosen Vice President Joe Biden to be the person who will take on President Trump in the general election.

    I know Vice President Biden and his wife and am grateful to have called his son Beau, who also served in the National Guard, a friend. Although I may not agree with the Vice President on every issue, I know that he has a good heart and is motivated by his love for our country and the American people. I'm confident that he will lead our country guided by the spirit of aloha — respect and compassion — and thus help heal the divisiveness that has been tearing our country apart.

    Today, I’m suspending my presidential campaign, and offering my full support to Vice President Joe Biden in his quest to bring our country together.

    I will continue to advocate for a 21st century foreign policy. One based on mutual respect and cooperation instead of confrontation, where we as a community of nations can work together to overcome the challenges that our people face — preventing and stopping pandemics like the coronavirus now affecting all of us, tackling climate change, combatting terrorism, and removing the existential threat of nuclear war which hangs over all our heads. I will continue to do everything I can to help bring an end to the new Cold War and nuclear arms race, and end regime change wars, which are costing us trillions of dollars, so we can invest these precious resources in the needs of the American people — health care, rebuilding our infrastructure, education, and so much more.

    I want to extend my best wishes to my friends Senator Bernie Sanders, his wife Jane, Nina Turner and their many supporters for the work they’ve done. I have a great appreciation for Senator Sanders’ love for our country and the American people and his sincere desire to improve the lives of all Americans.

    To the many people across our country who dedicated their time, energy, and resources to my campaign, working tirelessly to get our message out, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. I look forward to speaking to you more in the coming days about why I made this decision, and how we can continue to work together for our common cause.

    Thank you for standing with me. I will always have your back.

    With warmest aloha,

    Tulsi

    In the end, she played the typical D.C. kiss ass game. Bluch…

    Very disappointing. She always said she would support the eventual nominee, and I get that that's fine, but she didn't have to take it that far. She has to darn well know what she said there is patently untrue, she may as well be saying it about her good friend Hillary Clinton to paraphrase Bernie ha ha.

    How if she was offered a Vice President position if she endorsed Biden?
    This would seem to me at least a bit logical from her - even though still not really honourable...

    I agree - this is the kind of leader I could support in the future - but the current Democratic Party national leadership would need a major cleansing for me to get that opportunity within that party.

    Tulsi Gabbard Urges Donald Trump to Pardon Edward Snowden and Julian Assange

    Representative Tulsi Gabbard has called on President Donald Trump to pardon National Security Agency (NSA) whistleblower Edward Snowden and WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange before he's set to leave office on January 20, 2021.

    The Hawaii Democrat took to Twitter to highlight her own video message from October 6 and suggested that Trump use his presidential pardon power to grant clemency to the men, both of whom have been charged under the Espionage Act of 1917.

    The president's recent pardon of former national security adviser and retired Lt. General Michael Flynn appears to have prompted Gabbard's comments. Flynn pled guilty to lying to the FBI in 2017 but later sought to withdraw that plea.

    Article continues here.

    This was excellent, I wish it had been longer. A shame she is quitting politics, but perhaps she can be even potent outside of politics -- I hope she continues her battle.
