Cult, which is an offshoot of Krishna spirituality. Their founder, Chris Butler, has received a ton of criticism in the cult education world.

She also no longer is a representative, and what she has to say re: Democratic politics doesn't matter any longer.

What's interesting to me is that she's a voice that Fox props up. It seems as though there are a lot of cult types who are speaking up in the MAGA movement, and it seems as though her moving toward that world makes sense.

Whatever.

...only because I liked Bernie


I -and I'm sure many, got the impression she put her morals ahead of her career. I thought she had integrity.


Oh my god were we wrong. Good Lord were wrong.

I apologize for ever being so fucking stupid.

I just saw my candidate get propped up and I liked it. I never had a good understanding of who she actually was.

The person Tulsi endorsed said, to a question by Chuck Todd if he'd use drone warfare and special forces if necessary, said, "All of that and more." Of course, like any other president. Democratic presidents don't start wars of choice.
