In a spin room exchange with Breitbart News editor-at-large Joel Pollak, Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) discussed her performance during Wednesday evening’s first 2020 Democrat presidential debate and her top placement in the Drudge Report‘s famous online straw poll.
A partial transcript is as follows:
JOEL POLLAK: The Drudge straw poll has you winning by far. You had 38 percent of the votes, which is three times as many as second place, which is Elizabeth Warren. How do you feel you reached that audience. What was it that carried it for you?
REP. TULSI GABBARD: I’m grateful to have had this opportunity here tonight to present who I am and why I’m running for president to the American people. I think it’s important that we all recognize that we need a president who will serve the needs of every American in this country, who will put their interest ahead of their own. That’s not what we have right now. Those values and principles of service above self are what I seek to bring to the White House to make sure the voices of the American people are heard.
POLLAK: There was a very interesting exchange between you and Tim Ryan in that debate. He was taking the position of wanting to keep U.S. military deployed abroad and you really crushed that position. Tell us a little bit about how that exchange felt.
REP. GABBARD: The reason why this is so important is because the most important responsibility that the president has is to serve as commander-in-chief. Of all the candidates who are running for president, I’m the one who is most qualified to fulfill that responsibility to walk into the Oval Office and serve as commander-in-chief. And I think you heard tonight some of the reasons why those who lack the experience, lack the understanding, and conviction would, unfortunately, put our country in a place where we’d end up waging more wars, costing us more lives and tax-payer dollars. This is why I’m running for president, to be that person, to be that change in our foreign policy and those regime-change wars, new cold wars nuclear arms races and invest our precious dollars into serving the needs of our people.

It seems that American Samoa is the only place U.S. citizenship is not granted by birth.

After an Appeals Court ruling on Friday, American Samoa remains the only place in the United States where U.S. citizenship is not granted at birth.

EDIT: I need to add that it is my firm belief that the current condition under which Americans exist is a commercial jurisdiction ruled by the banking elite through a multitude of agreements and contracts that circumvent the Con-sti-stupid. Anyone that has 2 brain cells can see that we have no reason to believe in the existence of the Constitution, the Bill Of Rights, or even Freedom, other than the fact that criminal politicians reference these occasionally even though they know the truth and that is it is all a fucking fraud.

It is very naive to believe that if she plays nice, the rest of the world will do likewise.

Max Pressure Sanctions War until then. Or if Iran strikes first. I would were it me. Russia - China hold the cards imo. Or, maybe Izrael actually does. Russia calls Israel and ally and Israel is in deep with the PLA.
Also, China signaled again on Iran (and NK) right after Russia signaled the day before. Sounded like they guarantee Iran's safety and will fight if Iran is attacked.
Oh, and the Carribean.... statement made in Cuba by Russia.
Hong Kong and Taiwan, meanwhile, watch Abe closely.

That is why the US military will not allow Donald or the Israelis to attack Iran.

What could happen to U.S. servicemen would also happen to the Israelis.
But do you think the Iranians have a death wish to turn the desert of Iran into a glowing pit of sand after the Joos nuke them?
