Do you think she is such a cunt because she didn't get picked to play Storm?

    Does anyone actually believe that Tulsi went rogue on this, and wasn't simply acting under the direct orders of Trump?

    Wait, what? Direct order of Trump?

    That demented idiot is not calling the shots. Not a fucking chance.

    I mean, she received her orders in a private conversation whilst in the oval office. Clearly Trump does not possess the faculties to run the show, but he's the figurehead of the whole thing.

    Sadly, I'd find it equally possible the orders came through a completely illegitimate channel (coughPutincough). But, yeah, even if the order was relayed in the oval office, Mango Mussolini may or may not have been lucid enough at the time to even be aware. 😝

    I just find it absurd that the story goes "The White House wasn't informed of what Trump told Tulsi to do." Like certainly, she and Trump both work for Putin, and revoking the credentials from anyone who investigated Russian interference in the election is transparent corruption.

    Suddenly it seems obvious to me, in a way. Trump was made totally aware at the time, but creepy old pedophile-in-chief so obviously has full on late stage dementia and lost the money of it. So, worthless ass kissing brown nosers around him have to loudly insist to everyone that he never knew.

    She figured the info would trickle down from the Kremlin.

    She doesn't need to, she gets her orders from the same guy that Trump does.
