"So long, suckers."
American politics’ most famous surfer, after Richard Milhous Nixon, would certainly have to be Hawaii’s one-time Democratic representative Tulsi Gabbard. The congresswoman, who served the state in Washington D.C. from 2013 through 2021 and was notable for her Hindu faith, military service in Iraq and support of food trucks in Honolulu was, also, wonderful friends with Kelly Slater, recipient of The Inertia’s Global Advocate Award on top of being a passionate wave slider.
Though her political stance has shifted a bit since she left office, few expected the video screed she left, overnight, torching Democrats to the very bone on the way out the door.
Gabbard said:
I can no longer remain in today’s Democratic Party that is now under the complete control of an elitist cabal of warmongers driven by cowardly wokeness, who divide us by racializing every issue and stoke anti-white racism, actively work to undermine our God-given freedoms that are enshrined in our Constitution. I believe in a government that is of the people, by the people and for the people.
And:
Unfortunately, today’s Democratic Party does not. Instead, it stands for a government that is of, by and for the powerful elite. I’m calling on my fellow common sense, independent-minded Democrats to join me in leaving the Democratic Party.
Amongst other things.
The question now remains, will The Inertia abandon “cowardly wokeness” or continue to tread that rosy path?
More importantly, what does Kelly Slater think?
And Gisele Bündchen?
We already know Tom Brady’s opinion. Let’s go, Brandon etc.

If you have to ask the question I’d suggest you are the one who needs help evolving your simpleton mindset.
And you have very poor grammar. “Should of” was
definitely on purpose, and incorrect. “Loose” could of (lol, COULD HAVE) been a typo.
Which is exactly what you’ve been doing. Gaslighting works as well.
Ok so you’re thinking with that thing you admit is tiny. You are a monday morning quarterback but the game isn’t over yet. Libby masquerading as conservative, and a racist to boot. Maybe senile, maybe a bigger ego than what you say trump has. You don’t even know him. But let’s here how great biden is. You have nothing but vitriole sir, and if trump f’d up because he goofed, that pales in comparison to biden LYING LIKE HE’S GETTING A DRINK OF
WATER, AND ACCUSING HALF THE COUNTRY OF BEING NAZI
CULT MEMBERS.
And we’re in a recession and he has NO GAS left for wwiii. And you go call the spouses of the 13 DEAD
soldiers and tell them “well trump insulted you by marking up a
weather map”.
And it’s should have, not should OF hammered…since you’re correcting everyone.
jackmeoff is correct about the cult. they show up to spots with a boat load of em and crowd spots and are aggressive and overall kooky. for example, there is a Queen Bee of sorts who gets pushed into waves and then towed back out to the lineup. I think they recruit down and out aussie souls to join the cult
It’s dairy farms mate. Milk powder to China.
I believe the problem is at the other end (cows’ burps, not farts). And it’s all really just aimed at shifting the conversation away from the more-sheep-than-people, sheep shagging smear.
I am just going to dip the tip of my little toe into this, but would you accept that whoever is currently in power is often dealing with the ramifications of a former regime? Soon after moving into my first house, pipes started bursting, water stains appeared on ceilings and plaster joins cracked throughout. Turns out the previous owner was a bit of a cowboy. I’m enjoying relative peace in my current abode, who’s previous owner was quite the steward.
Now before we all get lost in our little mind game of Risk, let’s quickly remember that Putin invaded a sovereign democratic country that didn’t pose a direct threat to Russia. Loss of life, destruction of livelihoods and material possessions, as well as degraded international relationships between Russia and “western” countries are the direct consequences of said invasion. Tulsa’s justifications sure as hell don’t justify Putin’s actions (his own official justifications are to ludicrous to even discuss), because “might is not right”. It wasn’t when the US invaded Iraq, it isn’t here and it doesn’t apply for China’s claim to Taiwan.
PS I say direct threat, because it’s fucking impossible to argue with a theoretical threat, which is the exact reason for people to argue this line.
You can only fuck with the dick you got
she’s legit…
Exactly right on all points. Well done.
You bet.
See you at the MENSA party.
I agree that was the worst thing he did.
how do you want it?
temp/thermal monitor for measuring an island waste incinerator and grid & plot…heat levels…1.8k degrees wipes out VOCs, student debt, and uranus/
the bill is in the mail.

False equivalence.
You are very ignorant if you think the weapons were not meant for for the sole reason of defense against Russian aggression .
Nobody is interested in attacking Russia .
What logical reason would anybody have to do that?
Oh shit! Clearly you’re not a fan of Red Dawn. Wolverines!!!
Chas–you’ve pulled out those who have swallowed the years-long Russian propaganda machine. Way to go!
You’re on fire today! Keep the guns blazing! She’s fucking pathetic…for all the reasons you’re saying, and then more.
But at least you’re not a bought out homophobic Russian agent like Tulsi. The stoke doesn’t run deep in some…
