She, as much as Trump, is a high point of the Administration. Sorry to see her step down, even sadder for the reason. We just lost someone in our family to cancer.
She's been a breath of fresh air. I still don't trust her on firearms issues, but she seems to be a sincere enemy of Deep State machinations, and that us the most important thing we need in government right now.
Curious to find out who will succeed her. My heart says to put Gen. Flynn back in and dare Thune to do anything about it, but my head says Grenell.
Gabbard was against the Iran war. We’ll see what podcasts she’ll be appearing on. Ric Grenell for her post. Very best wishes to her and family. Tremendous shame she can’t stay on.
Hate to say this, but if she becomes a widow in the next few years, she will be even more dangerous to the opposition, as a woman with nothing left to lose (she does not have kids). I believe she still has her reserve commission; Trump could appoint her the CG of the DC National Guard. Her basic branch in the Army is MP's; she could be the director of some LE agency. She is a CFMB-wearing Army medic; she could be the Surgeon General. Lots of places where Trump could set her loose to get into 'good trouble.' (can't let the other side monopolize the term!) CC, JSM
Yes, appointing Flynn to replace her would be an excellent gauntlet to throw down right before midterms. Remind everyone what we're fighting for. Get some excellent soundbites from the hearing, like some total jackass senator saying "so were you lying when you pleaded guilty, or are you lying now?" followed by Flynn saying "I pled guilty to something I didn't do to protect my son from a false prosecution - wouldn't you?" CC, JSM
Although I couldn't have predicted it being for this reason, I never really expected her to make it to the logical end of her tenure anyway...the NIC had and still has it out for her over declassification.
I know she'll be back though, in what form I can't guess.

I think she will be remembered for her honesty and courage about Iran's nuclear intentions -- a matter Netanyahu and the Trump administration including many of his political allies have lied about.
She will also be remembered for her cowardice when cross-examined about the supposed threat Iran posed to the US.
Very sorry for her husband, whatever the politics. Bone cancer means the outcome is not going to be good.
Has anyone checked to see what Dr. Fauci knows about the gain of function research on viruses that infect people with bone cancer? Alex Jones has some interesting things to say about it.

How can anyone speak falsely or truthfully about the intentions of a foreign state? States do not have intentions; they have capabilities.
Indefinitely blah, blah isn't a new commenter on this blog, but he pretends to be. We all know him. Through his logic-free pontifications, he wears out his credibility, then exiles himself before Althouse does it for him, then reappears under another nonsensical nom de réseau.
Just finished my chemo/radiation protocol for bladder cancer. Isolated in a single tumor with no metastasis, but the treatment was still an ordeal. The prognosis is for a cure, but it will probably be two months before the scans begin to determine if the cancer has been eradicated. Fortunately, bladder cancer makes itself known very early… blood and blood clots in the urine.
Nothing to do with those CIA agents barging into her office when she wasn't there and grabbing some papers... It wasn't a "raid" because they had no warrant.
Don't worry though, MAGA is stronger than ever! Even more pure! The more you distill it down, get rid of the non believers in the one true faith, the stronger it is! Except for the part about winning elections.
@imTay Did you not see how many elections MAGA won this week? GOP party is finally pure and all the RINOs erraticated. All the polling saying otherwise is false. Americans dont mind paying more for gas and groceries if it helps Isreal be a strong nation. Red tide is rising! MAGA!
"Did you not see how many elections MAGA won this week?"
Finally eradicated those pesky RINOs! Now the party is pure... and possibly unelectable in swing districts. Bold strategy, Cotton.
Primary wins are nice. General elections are better. Good luck selling 'higher grocery bills for Israel' to suburban moms while telling them all the bad polls are fake.

My wife’s best friend’s husband also developed a rare from of bone cancer late in life. He had assumed it was arthritis and there was nothing to do about it. When the pain got severe enough he finally saw a specialist, only to learn that he has stage 4 bone cancer. The doctors prolonged his life by removing his entire femur and replacing it with a polymer “bone” precisely the same size. He blew right through the six months they gave him to live and made it another three or four years.
Whether she resigned because of her husband's condition, opposition to the Iran War or disfavor among other Intelligence-related execs, she did so with class.
Brava. I really like Tulsi and hope the best for her.
Don't we have too many overlapping Intelligence agencies?

I'm sorry to see her go. God bless to her husband.
Oh no. That's unfortunate.
She, as much as Trump, is a high point of the Administration. Sorry to see her step down, even sadder for the reason. We just lost someone in our family to cancer.
Crap. She's irreplaceable.

That one hurts. Prayers to her husband for the best medical treatment can offer and hopes for a complete recovery. She has been a warrior.
Tulsi Gabbard and intelligence was always an unlikely match. Now the question is who will the Don nominate as his next US intelligence chief.
Big loss. Thoughts and prayers for her husband.
Bummer for Tulsi, Abraham, Trump and the Country! Prayers needed for all.

Sorry to see this news about her husband. I’m glad he’ll have her unwavering strength by his side.
I will miss seeing her excel in her DNI position. She is a great role model for young women. I hope we haven’t seen the last of her.

Didn’t have to wait long for the old carrion shitbird TinyEE™ to waddle forth.
This is a big low to the country. I hope this wasn’t the deep state winning.
Prayers to her husband, they looked close.

Prayers for and best wishes go to Tulsi Gabbard and Abraham.
Sad to hear it. Bone cancer sounds awful. She's been a great DNI.
Wait, the same Tulsi Gabbard who was selling “No War With Iran” T-shirts before being hired by Trump is now tendering her resignation? Baffling.

Good to hear Shouting Thomas. Rooting for you.

STFU, already.

General Flynn needs a mention here.
We need to know who to primary in 2027.
@Shouting Thomas, I’m trying to imagine passing solid blood clots. [Wincing] Good luck and I hope it all works out.
Best of luck to Tulsi Gabbard. Cancer is often survivable these days but it's always really hard. Her husband needs her and she couldn't do both jobs.
My wife’s best friend’s husband also developed a rare from of bone cancer late in life. He had assumed it was arthritis and there was nothing to do about it.

He was Jewish and he was a mensch.
“General Flynn needs a mention here.”
I forgot about General Flynn. He might be a better choice.
Life trumps politics.
God Bless you Shouting Thomas. I'm a big fan.
Shouting Thomas:
Keep a positive attitude. You can beat cancer. Great improvements in treatments.
Sad about Tulsi's husband. She has conviction. I thought her exit was predictable for many reasons. She is preparing for a 2028 Presidential run.
Shouting T: You are a tough MF. Hang in there. CC, JSM
Keep it isolated Thomas. Hope to keep seeing you around here.
Whether she resigned because of her husband's condition, opposition to the Iran War or disfavor among other Intelligence-related execs, she did so with class.
Brava. I really like Tulsi and hope the best for her.
Don't we have too many overlapping Intelligence agencies?
Onward, Shouting Thomas. Wishing you the best outcome. So glad it was caught early.
Good luck Shouting. Same for Tulsi and Abraham. I hope she's not lost to public life, your country needs people like her.
Prayers for you Shouting Thomas. Stay strong.
oh no. this is sad. I hope she and her husband fight the cancer fight and win.
“ "Ric Grenell for her post."
That’s my vote. But backup is LTG Flynn.
God bless Shout T.
You will get through this Shouting Thomas.
I think Flynn should be the at large chief of federal inspector generals.
Shout T - you got this.
Prayers for you, ST.
Best of luck ST. Piss and grin, as they say.
Hang in there with it S.T.!
Good work, Thomas. Keep it up.
