Auto accidents are way up, associated with marijuana use. The homeless problem has skyrocketed since the community I drive through to get home approved recreational marijuana. The homeless camps are gathered near the recreational marijuana stores. And where there are homeless, there is more crime, trash, etc. More pedestrians (homeless) being hit by cars, because they just stagger around all hours of the day and night. I am ok with medical marijuana, but not recreational. Recreational marijuana also attracts tourists to this area from other states, and they are shall we say, not the cream of society.

I remember when Ben NH Campbell changed parties. I was often on the same flight with him from Denver to Dulles, even after he left office, and talked with him dozens of times. I always had the feeling that he became a "Republican" but not a Conservative (too hard to get the Teamster out I guess). On the other hand, if you've read Clarence Thomas' book "My Grandfather's Son" he was a far lefty before seeing the light and now is probably the most conservative on the court. I'll wait to see what ACTIONS she takes but won't be supporting electing her to anything anytime soon.

It took so long because her political capital has been exhausted. This is her one last political donation to the WEF cause. She’s only allowed to say it because it fits some kind of agenda. Look at RFK and other “former” democrats who are speaking out. They get ZERO air time. I think Tulsi has always been a contingency plan.
Hell I’ll make a prediction WEF probably wants the GOP side of the UniParty to win this November. Too many frogs have noticed that the water is getting hot. Need to turn the burner down to a simmer for a bit. Or it will all boil over and they’ll have half cooked frogs jumping out of the pot and ruining the Feng Shui of the kitchen.

Anyone and I mean anyone that does not respect the absolute property rights of each and every single US citizen, is not a Patriot as depicted by the authors of the Constitution.
Anyone that assumes that the State should have any involvement in personal decisions (other than common law standards) is a "statist". No, I am not a Libertarian. But a student of Objectivism. (I do not have a Ph.D. though). With that as my standard, does Gabbard fit into the realm of personal property rights? Thus, is she a "Patriot"?
How much Statist poison do you add to your "water" glass before you refuse to drink it?

Cautiously optimistic, very cautiously. She hasn't had a deep interview re specific issues from her past. She appears to support MAGA candidates, but no one has asked her yet, or her thoughts of Trump or DeSantis. To deny her the ability to "rationally" see then light would be wrong, especially on this site. But again, proceed with caution.

*Recreational cannabis is ruining Colorado". . . can you explain how it's doing that? As a long-time advocate of full drug legalization, I'm skeptical.

Sadly I heard the same audio. May that son of a B burn in hell.

That would be something .

remains to be seen
she was a democrat for far too long and her history has lots of questions

For him that is an understatement. He was a ringleader and facilitator in pizzate. I can't escape the recording of him shouting down a crying child asking for his papa, telling that child I am you father. Degenerate POS.

Hmmmm, my great grandmother, Eva Wilson, supposedly was cousin to Woodrow. Wonder if our predecessors ever met each other...

for all the mistakes that JFK did
that he did not love this Nation would never come to mind

the same cannot be said of any democrat after 1970

it cannot be said for a great number of them before 1970 also

John Podesta is a pee doh file , he worked with her
Campaign according to emails. She knowingly worked with a pee doh file. She does not deserve to ever hold office again period.

Okay, my adult life, I'm 50 ish and yes, there were good democrats in the 60's, still wouldn't have agreed with them but they were not stupid or corrupt. Sorry for the absolute... Tendency for a lazy writer while making a point, I'm not perfect and no insult intended.

My Grandfather was a color guard for Woodrow Wilson a precursor to the Secret Service. He was invited to lunch with the President in Versailles when they were there for the signing of the treaty.
He and Gramma acted and lived a rational and by todays measures a very conservative life. They supported FDR and even travelled to DC for his first inauguration. Clearly in my mind they were nogginwashed 100 years ago.

I agree Jack, the timing is suspicious to me. Because the shitbag puppet masters see the threat the great awakening is to them. They know the intense wokeness is not popular with many Dems
who still have some semblance of rationality left.
Plus they are looking to pull the “ I am tired of Trump and all the controversy around him” crowd.
This woman is obviously polished and sharp if you compare her to the current resident or the the camel hoe as VP. But compared to a Kayleigh M or Sarah Huckabie ,or Kari Lake or Lauren Bobbert forget about it. Tulsi’s actions on the congressional records drown out her words to me.

Clearly a patriot.

I said it many times before, having the audacity to say you’re a D these days (at least two decades) in what is supposed to be a representative government is an indication of mental defect or pure myopic ambition. At best she will walk the walk and talk the talk until get orders come from her benefactor(s). RINO

Well, maybe not always. Always is a long, long time. My Conservative parents were both Democrats. my father was a Union man (although I knew he didn't trust the Union). My mother never trusted anyone but she respected FDR and she went to school with Lyndon Johnson (she liked him but she didn't trust him). It's complicated really. I don't know which way the wind is blowing in this era. I'm just watching and waiting.

I do not trust her. She is saying all the right words, almost too perfect. Maybe she has converted and seen the light, but I am not sure yet. Certainly could be controlled opposition. Troublesome past (voted for Biden), and some of her ideas I don't agree with, like national legalization of marijuana (oops I mean "cannabis"). Recreational "cannabis" is ruining Colorado. In general, I would unfortunately say her actions speak louder than her words.

Agree with all comments thus far but one must ask, how come it took her so long? What ideology was she holding on to? None now, I get it but why did she wait so long? The Democrats have always been the party of the stupid or corrupt. Either way, I’m leery…

she was a democrat far, far too long
no trust

if it is between her and a democrat, i'll vote for her
otherwise, nope, not gonna do it

she needs to earn our trust, if possible

Only her hair dresser knows for sure...

She’s WEF.....so..... I’m going with “controlled” opposition. Somebody in Biden’s handler cadre got a little uppity and Daddy Klaus is reminding them who runs barter town.
There’s far too many egos in play for THEM to all be in lock step all the time. This is a shot across the bow that the propaganda can be turned on them at any time.

One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.
