I have two predictions:
1) Gabbard will be confirmed, because the costs of defying Trump are too high for most Republicans to bear.
2) It will result in some major breech of national security.
NEW: Tulsi Gabbard's nomination to be director of national intelligence might—might—be in trouble.

Except for this: "Anyone who's paid attention to Republican politics for the past decade knows that to stay alive, you have to get on board with whatever the boss says or does—no matter what."
Tulsi Gabbard’s History Is a Bigger Hurdle Than Trump Thought
Maybe a Trump nominee can be too extreme for the GOP.

Incredible. Please watch and share.
Wow. Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde fearlessly calls out Trump and Vance to their faces. This is heroic.

It’s really something to watch the Party whose supporters poop on the floor in the Capitol and wipe their feces on the wall tell us which bathrooms to use.

Starting a phony transgender bathroom debate and hiding behind the guise of “protecting women” to distract from your attempts to push through the confirmations of alleged rapists, sex traffickers, and fraudsters at the highest levels of government is peak Republican Party.
