"Gabbard didn’t know the CIA officer had been working undercover, according to a person familiar with the fallout from the list’s release. Three other people with knowledge of the situation said that Gabbard’s office didn’t meaningfully consult with the CIA before releasing the list."
Her incompetence likely surpasses her malevolence. It’s stunning how unfit she is for this role
Unfathomable levels of incompetence through this Administration.
This is all so stupid. This is also egregious. This is all, I just don't have words holy fuck.
She wasn’t qualified for her position. That’s it.
Probably intentional if the CIA officer was doing anything concerning Russia or Ukraine.
The incompetency of this administration is going to get one of our agents killed. Sadly because these agents are undercover, we may never know that they will killed due to her brazen willful ignorance.
Who could have predicted an unqualified person in an important role would f it up ?
Horseshit. Russia’s girlfriend knew what she was doing.
Russian operative.
Dangerous menace!
The dumbest of the dumb
at least this widespread MAGA ineptitude is "making the trains run on time"
The most salient question is "corruption or incompetence?" Usually it's incompetence, but I've seen whole bureaucracies built up from corruption, designed to look like incompetence.
Quelle fucking surprise. 🫤
Come on really????
Impeach under category of stupid.
… but perhaps a friend of hers in Moscow knew or suspected who the officer is and what he/she does. And perhaps Gabbard was asked to put that officer’s name on the clearance revocation list. So the words “didn’t know” are doing a lot of work.
Ugh. This is so upsetting. And yet it makes perfect sense. She works for the fuhrer, not the American people. The shamelessness is really hard to stomach. The lack of honor and virtue. Silver lining - keep pissing off the CIA and see where that gets her.
Firing and bringing charges of malfeasance at a minimum.
@genmhayden.bsky.social
Sheer incompetence.
If true, fireable offense for being an incompetent danger....but nothing will happen
The Golden Shower Age continues apace.
CIA has a Russian Rose.
Maybe, just maybe, the Senate could have done a better job looking into the qualifications of these Trump appointees. 🤡
clowns with flame throwers
Idiots, buffoons, cranks, cosplay twits and twerps, plants, sycophants, dupes, opportunists, psychopaths, ignoramuses
😡😞
Dumber every time the do something
When unqualified gets mixed with looney conspiracy people you get this as a result. The daily damage by these people has created a mockery of our country while destroying our readiness to stay safe.
Lock her up
Hire stupid people, get stupid results. Garbage in, garbage out
IfTulsi wasn't inept she wouldn't be part of the #TrumpAbomination.
Just following the usual behavior of her boss. Endanger the lives of those who are working to protect AMERICA. An alien concept to the entire regime.
Paywall
So incompetent, uniformed, reckless, and putting her people in harm’s way, and in charge. Cool!
National embarrassment. 🤡
So the gray stand of air is not a stripe of intelligence.
Incompetent Russian asset Gabbard jeopardizes the lives of her employees
What this Sanders Institute fellow doesn't know could fill the White House. And has.
All the best people.
Can't a Democrat openly call her a Russian agent, get sued, and we can all see what happens from there re: discovery?
She’s sick a national embarrassment. Trump will promote her I’m sure.
She did know and didn’t care. She didn’t know and didn’t care. Take your pick. Both are proof of incompetence at the least and criminal at worst.
She is a Russian asset, and has been for years. Senate Republicans know this and confirmed her anyway.
She is an asset to Putin, what to expect... it's not the first time something like that happens in Trump world.
Talk about a dim bulb
You could have just said “Gabbard didn’t know” and applied that to everything.
Hubris or incompetence? I’m guessing both. Not qualities I want in a government official with tremendous power about national security.
what a dysfunctional office she runs
Orders from Vladimir.
I'm sure the agent was closing in on some Putin/trump criming or worse.
Remember when this kind of happened in the Bush admin? And everyone correctly understood that privileging political pettiness over national security meant that the story could threaten to end the administration over what that incompetence said about its overall practices? Good times.
“Wow these people are shitbirds and we should hold them accountable even if they’re fellow Rs so we don’t get cleaned out in the next election” worked to hold a highly adversarial system together until one party opted out of the democratic contest of ideas aspect altogether.
Just brilliant work by this administration, as usual
It's all a game to these people. They've operated under serious mindful people their whole lives and now the parents are out of town and the kids are gonna burn the house down during the kegger.
One of the best analyses I have seen.
I see all these stories now and keep thinking about this note on fascist strategy which Rachel Maddow discussed here The de-professionalizing of everything, with incompetence and cruelty Republicans used to be all about national security, 10 years on and they worship a naked emperor
Trump administration continues to make the keystone kops look like geniuses
oh
It is hardly surprising that she would do something more helpful to our enemies than to the U.S.
Every republican senator is responsible for these atrocities.
Incompetence… Thy name is Trump cabinet
Gabbard is a Russian agent. We’ve all known this for some time now. This is not a “mistake.”
I imagine she did out him and endanger our country just like the CheneyBush criminal cabal did with JoeWilson's wife. #RepublicanMorons #GopIdiots
🤦
She consulted with Putin before releasing the list to Putin.
So totally incompetent, resign immediately, is required she is a clear and present danger to the country
There's not a single, qualified person working in this "Administration" except (maybe) various members of the White House staff (cooks, cleaners, etc.).
