Politics/Religion Consolidated Megathread Extravaganza

The Senate Intelligence Committee will hold a secret vote on Tuesday on whether to advance Tulsi Gabbard's nomination to serve as director of national intelligence, according to Politico.

The closed-door vote is set to take place less than a week after Gabbard's fiery confirmation hearing on Thursday. Despite Gabbard's disciplined performance, it's unclear if the nominee has the votes to clear the committee.

If she is not confirmed, it will be because she is a threat to the military-industrial complex.

I wonder if Mike Pence regrets joining the stop Trump movement.

He is completely shut out from this administration.

That's what disloyalty got him.

I doubt it. He still thinks he's on a holy jihad.

Confirm RFK Jr. as Health Secretary.

Bobby Kennedy is as much a threat to big food and pharma as Tulsi Gabbard is to the military-industrial complex.

If Democrats are so concerned about election deniers, why haven't they condemned members of their own party for doing the same?

The Associated Press, which has given up its role as a dispassionate news source to become a handmaiden of the Democratic Party, recently savaged "MAGA favorite" Kash Patel, whom we are warned would politicize the presumably nonpartisan FBI if he were put in charge of it. As proof that Patel could never equal the political impartiality of a Merrick Garland or perhaps James Comey, the legacy media have pointed to his unwillingness to say unequivocally that Joe Biden won the 2020 election.

Sen. Peter Welch (D-Vt.) almost twisted himself into a pretzel during Patel's confirmation hearing on Thursday, trying to get the nominee to recognize Biden as the victor in the 2020 presidential election. Patel kept responding to Welch's query with the statement that Biden was declared the certified winner. When Welch in exasperation asked if Biden won that contest just as Trump did in 2024, Patel calmly replied: "Both were certified as winners."

Has Senator Peter Welch asked Hillary Clinton or Stacy Abrams the same question.

I doubt it. He still thinks he's on a holy jihad.

He is looking for a job, but nobody trusts him.

Many are wondering if Politico has received money from the United States Agency for International Development after the publication reportedly was unable to pay its employees as the Trump administration began to close the agency.

Politico was unable to pay workers but sent out an email blaming a glitch in its vendor systems. Critics pounced on the news to accuse the outlet of losing funding after President Donald Trump took over USAID and shut down its funding.

Politico has reportedly not disclosed payments from USAID or any other government entity, and it would be a major scandal if it had received funding and not disclosed it.

RFK Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard are on their way to confirmation by the U.S. Senate to direct the Department of Health and Human Services and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, respectively. All that remains is Kash Patel for director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation — an essential White House nomination that Democrats are working hard to torpedo.
