Well, for "jazzing up" the intelligence briefing for Trump, I would say she just knows her audience. Ditto for her little video. The Trump Administration is just a Reality TV Show made up of Fox News celebrities for the benefit and titillation of the Fox News Audience, with Trump landing in both categories. The side effect of getting thousands killed and ruining millions.
When you hire someone so marginal as a person you know that they were obviously selected to be yes people and this is a shocking confirmation of her conspiracy mentality. When Republicans are having major buyers remorse you know things are a lot worse than they seem.
Aside from the weirdness of the video (why was it even made?), and not to be too mean, but she either had "heavy* makeup on or there was an "Instagram" style filter in play.
It’s funny how kooks on the left (Phil Gordon et al) and kooks on the right are all about appeasement, kissing ass to totalitarian regimes like the Islamic Republic of Iran as they violate the NPT for 25 years and now rush to complete a nuclear weapon. Both have warned of doom in order to leave Israel hanging. Yes, Tulsi Gabbard is a deranged, incompetent idividual, and on the other side Kamala Harris rehired Phil Gordon, the premier ass-kisser of Ayatollah Khamenei as her foreign policy advisor, and Adam Schiff rehired former SJP leader Maher Bitar who previously worked for Obama, Biden and considered by Harris. LOL, WTF is wrong with Democrats too?
Neither far-right lunatics nor progressives should be allowed anywhere near US presidential administrations.
Glad to see the great Warren Strobel reporting again, now with WaPo. He and his ace coworkers from the old Knight-Ridder organization were my go-to reporters leading up to and during the Shrub Iraq invasion, as they really showed up, e.g., the NYT and their lying Judith Miller et al. An excellent national security and intel reporter, and I hope that Bezos doesn't interfere with his coverage...but, it just takes one phone call, and...
Knight Ridder's coverage in the lead-up to the Iraq war was led by John Walcott, Jonathan Landay, Warren Strobel, and Joe Galloway, who passed away in August 2021, and stalwart journalists they were to a man.
Lynn, It sounds like you are saying that if Tulsi Gabbard hires people that support what President Trump believes, and gives him intelligence that supports what he believes, this means she is doing an excellent job. Do i understand you correctly?
You put it very clearly, thank you for your quick response.
In your framing, is there such a thing as accurate data that does not support the agenda of the administration? Or is it the case that accurate data supports the administration’s agenda, and vice versa? A related question: are there qualified people who do not support the administration’s agenda, or is there an assumption that “qualified” and “supporting the administration’s agenda” are roughly the same thing?
These are the types of questions that arise when excellence is seen as a thing necessarily flowing from loyalty to an agenda. My impression is that they have been answered by the administration, but I’m curious to know how you would answer them.

Thank you, professor. Just ‘craptacular’ made it worth joining your seminar today.
I mean, she grew up in a weird cult . . .
And never left 😆
"Political elite warmongers" in contrast to salt-of-the-earth warmongers?

"We must reject this path to nuclear war and work toward a world where no one has to live in fear" Yep, she's a wacko
No

the Hiroshima video did not reassure me that Tulsi knows that the US was the one that dropped the bomb and caused all the horrors she learned about...
You're not very bright.
Betteridge's Law in effect here
