Why is the headline former democratic representative? Does that matter? She has been transitioning to republican for a while now and is currently full R.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

So... another Putin puppet. Awesome!
I like it when I don't know who the people are when chosen for these positions. It means they are probably qualified. Not this reality shitshow contest.
We are definitely heading towards Idiocracy... if we're not annihilated first.
I would take President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Camacho over Trump though.
Sure, he was looking for solutions and allowed smarter people to steer the research. He also allowed the smarter man to take his place in office.
Did he really though?
He let someone else do all the hard work for him, while he relaxed. History remembers President Dwayne elizondo mountain dew herbert camacho, no one remembers the name of the guy who came after him.
Clearly he was the smarter man.
Not just Putin, she's been tight with Modi's party in India (outside of any role she had as a legislator) and went on that stupid trip to Syria with Syrian regime handlers. This is well beyond Trump putting loyalist goons into positions of power and closer to actively compromising our country. Hard to believe Gabbard could even get a security clearance.
She couldn't, unless the requirements have changed dramatically over the last 2 years.
The guy who was elected overruled the requirements to get his ineligible family clearances. She won't have a problem.
Project Sundial, woooo!
Explain
Project sundial was a cold war American project to build a bomb so big it wouldn't matter where it was detonated It was a true doomsday weapon
Seriously... it's the Mirror Universe West Wing.
A Russian asset in charge of every department, what could possibly go wrong?
(answer: everything. every fucking thing.)
Jesus fucking christ.
what's next? space lasers greene as nasa administrator?
YOU SHUT THE FUCK UP! DON'T GIVE THEM IDEAS!
Nah, they’ll just kill NASA outright and transition to SpaceX.
I expect Madge to get the Dept of Homeland Security.
Yeah.
Guess we're gonna be out of not just NATO, but five eyes too
In charge of going to find some?
Drill baby, drill.
National Intelligence! Oxymoron shenanigans, I've called it.
Well, you need a certain lack of intelligence to switch from Dem to Rep, so it fits perfectly.
It also fits with Trumps desire not to look to closely at Russian interference.
Duh, no intelligence here, uhhhhhhh
