    Default Tulsi as director of national intelligence

    President-elect Trump announced on Wednesday that he is appointing Tulsi Gabbard to serve as director of national intelligence in his new Cabinet.

    In a statement, Trump said that the former congresswoman "has fought for our Country and the Freedoms of all Americans." Gabbard served as a Democratic congresswoman from Hawaii from 2013 to 2021 before becoming an Independent and then recently joined the GOP.

    "As a former Candidate for the Democrat Presidential Nomination, she has broad support in both Parties - She is now a proud Republican!" Trump's statement added. "I know Tulsi will bring the fearless spirit that has defined her illustrious career to our Intelligence Community, championing our Constitutional Rights, and securing Peace through Strength. Tulsi will make us all proud!"

    Then post a name of who you think would be your choice if you were president.

    That might be scary for you though because the last time you started a thread was in January when you said trump would pick Scott as his VP.

    The list that include scary for me doesn't have DP anywhere on the list. Thanks for the reminder; Scott was a superior pick.

    What? You can't think of anyone you would pick as director of intelligence. Yep, typical fj, it is so much easier to sit back and pick apart everyone else's pick than come up with your own and defend it.

    Don't need a name to state she isn't qualified for the position. It's about her, not comparison to someone else.

    Then tell me what you think would qualify someone to be DNI who isn't already a part of the bureaucracy?
