Gabbard met the "raffish" Abraham Williams, a ripper from Aukland, when he was shooting campaign film back in 2012.
The rise of Hawaii’s Tulsi Gabbard, post-election, has been stunning, even for hardened and grumpy political watchers. The former Democratic congresswoman had flipped independent some years back before flipping Trump directly before balloting was set to commence, in these United States, and heading out on the campaign trail. Along the way, those secretly right of center, like Kelly Slater, joined up and drank organic smoothies with her all dreaming happy thoughts in which America was made great again.
Who could have guessed, though, that within days after Trump’s victory, he would tab Gabbard to sit above the country’s spy agencies as Director of National Intelligence?
Whoa!
The selection has re-focused the spotlight on the 43-year-old. As you know, she grew up a surfer on Oahu but also as part of the anti-gay marriage Hare Krishna spin-off Science Identity Foundation, or SIF. Her marriage to a New Zealander surfer hunk also getting new life.
Gabbard met her “raffish” man Abraham Williams, a part-Maori, part-Samoan filmmaker and ripper from Aukland, when he was shooting campaign film back in 2012. The pair, it is reported, fell in love over their surfing passion and Williams proposed out in the lineup, duct-taping the diamond bauble onto a flotation device and dragging it behind. They were married in a Hindu wedding ceremony on Oahu in 2015.
The couple is said to be “low-key” and still enjoys Science Identity even though its founder, Chris Butler, is described by some as a “cult leader.”
He also surfs.
But all back to Kelly Slater, what role, if any, do you think he will have play in the United States’ new intelligence community?
Commandant of ____________?
We’d all be remiss in forgetting that Slater is smarter than most doctors. I’d imagine the holds true even more amongst the cloak and dagger set.
So?
What’s his title?

Tulsi love is Jed Smith’s biggest failing as surf’s resident man of the people
agree, and he makes sense, not just a prick trying to draw attention (or maybe he is drawing attention, but still doesn’t come off like a prick).
speaking of spies, how has BG not covered the UAP hearing?? Does ET Charlie surf?
Also, fav quote of recent news cycle—Fetterman: ‘clutch those pearls harder and scold louder’ (sarcastically) … he has a point
Tulsi Gabbard’s father Mike Gabbard was a vicious gay-bashing homophobic politician in Hawaii – and a fake Hindu, the Gabbards have nothing to do with India or Indians, just haole posers.
Chris Butler, aka “Jagad Guru” was a cult leader in Hawaii whom your parents; if they had any brains or concern for your welfare whatsoever, told you to avoid at all costs –
Nice references. The New Zealand guy should run back to Aotearoa, starting now.
And go pig hunting. . . .
Again
Mike Gabbard viciously beat up gay people? That’s a heavy allegation.
how many gay people did Mike “bash”?
that’s a criminal offense, a hate crime.
you have evidence of his “gay bashing”?
seriously, if he beat up gays, he should be in jail.
Hopefully his attorney reaches out to you to confirm your accusation.
Mike Gabbard’s gay bashing is common knowledge –
“As well as his work with the Alliance for Traditional Marriage, Tulsi Gabbard’s father was also the director of Stop Promoting Homosexuality and served on the steering committees of the National Campaign to Protect Marriage and Save Traditional Marriage, according to CNN. He also hosted an anti-gay radio show called “Let’s Talk Straight Hawaii.”

gay-bashing def: violence intentionally directed at gay people
in what way was Mike Gabbard violent toward Gay people?
Opining on his beliefs in traditional marriage?
You believe in promoting homosexuality. He doesn’t.
You have as much right to voice your opinions, as does he.
By your definition of gay bashing, could it not be said that you are straight bashing?
You have every right to be gay JSC and have sex with as many men as you wish….and Mike Gabbard has every right to voice his opinion(s).
Why do his free speech rights have to be eliminated so you can have sex with other men?
free speech goes both ways, like you Happy
you tried so hard to be clever, and you just couldn’t manage it.
just dumped all my security files to tulsi-aloha~
Slater should work under Kennedy as some sort of STD czar given his experience. Raw dogging by the youth of today has led to a significant increase in all the ones Hitler and all the great impressionist painters had. YOLO.

here’s an example of what you said in sports&politics:
After the Raiders’ 34-19 loss
to the Miami Dolphins on Sunday, sports writer Safid Deen of USA Today
asked Las Vegas star rookie tight end Brock Bowers about the
Trump-inspired celebration dance Bowers performed after scoring a
third-quarter touchdown. After that, according to Deen, the Raiders’ PR
team abruptly ended the rookie’s media availability. (western journal)

In other profound news, I read where Nastradamus quoted Shakespeare when describing a modern world filled with Slater and his inane quotes:
“Money doth not a brain make”
Na, melania is the coolest.
Dunno why, but read that as melanoma… 🤷♂️
Jeez he’d need to be careful letting himself get that woolly back home
Dumb cunt told Putin to “embrace the spirit of Aloha” the other day… should be real effective.
Aloha, as in, goodbye to a free and independent Ukraine.
It’s amazing what propaganda will have people believe
Slogans are effective
translation: “Putin, you are a cunt! aloha.”
“She once called on Russia, Ukraine and the U.S. to “embrace the spirit of aloha”~ Crooked Media
“‘Aloha’ means mutual regard and affection and extends warmth in caring with no obligation in return. ‘Aloha’ is the essence of relationships in which each person is important to every other person for collective existence.”
Dumb Cunt wants people to coexist in peace and have mutual respect. That’s just ridiculous…MORE WAR please.
Probably better to just lie to Ukraine and keep funding a senseless war with 1000’s of people dying everyday, or maybe you’d like to see The U.S. go to war against Russia and watch Russia nuke a few million people.
Ukraine cannot beat Russia in a war, wthout U.S. involvement, and that my dear man of stick will lead to WW3, and my son going off to fight some shit ass war for a bunch of corrupt bureaucrats and greedy corps.
If the former DNI, intelligence agencies and alphabet agencies and does the right thing, there would not be this war and 100’s of 1000’s of deaths, but then again WAR is big money for the corrupt.
You gotta admit, ’embrace the aloha spirit’ is a pretty funny diplomacy soundbite tho… Like she was weighing it up against ‘catch the wave of peace’
I’m well aware the meaning but don’t think Putin does or gives a fuck… pretty amateur and comical thing to say to a mass murdering dictator cunt.
Latest Ukraine news is that it was a money laundering scheme to fund the DNC…That is pretty crazy.
Right and sending long range missiles into Russia is so much smarter
Nope, it’s not. A giant shit-show it is.
Tulsi Gabbard, head of National Intelligence.

Good grief Chas. Dig up Muldoon to sort this beautiful and innocent country out. Can still be great. Need to dissolve the ratbags before the ship sinks.
Of all the reasons to say “Fuck you” to Trump voters, that you’ve given Chas and DR 4 years of daily shit like this to shove down our throats is at the top of the list.
Thank you! A couple of more gallons, and I’m going to have a “Demoncrat tears pond”.
I’ll fellate a 🎤 and gag into the pond to help you along if you want. Seems worthy of the dignity of leading the so-called best country on earth.

I might suggest the last 4 years have been entertaining and horrifying. So why not 4 more years of freakish and entertaining appointees?

All is golden under the warm sunlight of acceptance.
Try not thinking so rigidly about your own aethetics. Other people are allowed to do their own stuff, as long as it doesn’t actively harm others.
…which the current Trump cabinet appointees all are intent on doing and have track records of doing.
Well said! I enjoyed Trump’s first 4 years as it was entertaining, horrifying but generally harmless on the global stage. That said I prefer leadership that projects leadership qualities so I am in many cases unimpressed with certain of Trump’s nominees such as the below botox and plastic surgery addled gentleman. Biden wasn’t much better so while I am hopeful for a live and let live 4 years we are going into a likely domestic recession that can create global macro issues that may create challenges regardless of who was elected. https://uploads.disquscdn.c…
Well, harmless is in the eye of the beholder, I guess. The Abraham Accords set the stage for what’s unfolding in Gaza today; Tax cuts for the rich; 50% of the population in a number of states lost their right to bodily autonomy and tear-gassing protesters to hold a bible upside down. Is what comes to mind when I reminisce about Trumps 1st term.
You forgot to blame Trump for the Palestinian’s decision to vote in Hamas(ya get what ya vote for) in ’06 while we had 8 years of Obama and 4 years of Biden on either side of Trump to resolve the problems you allude to. Speaking of Oct 6th, a mind focused on the actual history of Gaza paired with Israel’s right to a sovereign nation might dig deeper than the Abraham Accords and realize the west isn’t going to solve 1,000s of years of middle east bad behavior. On to tax cuts for the rich(at what level is someone rich in your eyes?), I suspect you’re well aware of the caps on SALT deductions(Trump is responsible for this) for the “rich” that actually cause the evil rich to pay more in taxes due to a limitation on deductions. So we are left to wonder why didn’t Biden remove the SALT deductions or repeal the Trump tax cuts? As for body autonomy don’t forget about Plan B, which remains legal in the draconian states that made most abortions illegal. BTW, I am militant pro-choice and an atheist so those who choose to hold a bible upside down are alright in my eyes.
My friend, you need to go out more. Plan B is the so called morning after pill. You know, broken condom, drunken hookups when reason has been abandoned in favour of cheap thrills, etc. It works to prevent pregnancies not end them (small but important distinction when push comes to shove).
As for the other arguments. Sure I largely agree. Maybe not on needlessly tear-gassing protesters and to me it looks like that the West is very much trying to solve the conflict in the Middle East by sending tons of bombs to one party, but then maybe we’re back to the eye of the beholder thing.
Ahh rich, everyone making more than 2 million a year. Does that answer your question?
I must say I’m really not interested in getting out more as those enjoyable days are long since past. So you’re saying the distinction results in the same ending…no child? Interesting! While I’m keenly aware of the benefits of Plan B, I’m curious as to the drop in abortions in the US since Roe v. Wade passed versus the slight increase since the draconian states measures took effect. How could this possibly be happening? As for tear gassing, I learned decades ago that if you’re in a situation where this is possible maybe you’re in the wrong place unless you have a mask…but it is too bad more tear gas wasn’t used on the BLM folks who destroyed many businesses and communities with their efforts.
Finally, I suspect you’re aware the 37% tax bracket drops to $626k for ’25 while it was at $693k in ’24 so I’m curious why you narrow the rich to the $2mm number? They are in the one tenth of 1% and have the same tax exposure as the lessers below them in this tax bracket. Granted their income tends to be more tax friendly as it more commonly derived from dividends, carried interest and K-1 friendly income so I suppose they are indeed winning…as they should.
Just to the drop in abortions, when something becomes illegal it goes underground so just like the 50’s where there were no abortions, yeah there were thousands but in back rooms. Let alone the long range issue of children being born to people who can’t afford to have them.
Kinda like heroin, cocaine and speeding…
Haha eat shit loser. Your poofter’s paradise communist utopia fantasies are over.
