This is absolutely horrifying that a military veteran and former government official would be placed on a terrorist watch list.

Why? Because she has a different perspective on how to run government for the betterment of Americans?

Ridiculous...

I don't care, I'm terrified of heights so I don't fly anyway. I have only flown twice in my life due to serious emergency... I don't anticipate needing to do so again so they can put me on any list they want. hahaha

As a public personality however, Tulsi actually has to fly with some frequency I imagine. And the right to travel is actually, according to the Supreme Court, an unenumerated constitutional right.

Putting her on a watch list if it prevented her from flying is a violation of her constitutional rights as a law abiding citizen.

No, no one's weaponizing government agencies for political purposes. Move along now. Nothing to see here.

Although I was being tongue-in-cheek, I was also being a bit serious. I wonder at times if my political opinion posts have put me on some naughty list. Wonder that is, not worry. Obviously since I'm a long ways from shutting my big mouth.

i have wondered often if Christians shrinking from public service and public life has led to the situation we find ourselves in. Its been something I think perhaps we should repent of,, because it doesnt do our neighbors any good if we go communist,

It depends on what you mean by "Communist." If you are thinking about people like Harris or Walz or Bernie or AOC then maybe it would be better for your neighbor if you continued to shrink from public service.

There doesn't seem to be a lot of actual evidence for this. She says that her boarding pass was marked "SSSS", which is a flag for additional screening, but that can be assigned for multiple reasons, including changing your ticket same-day, taking one-way international flights, travelling to "high risk" areas, etc. It could mean that you were manually placed on a watchlist, but it could also be a security algorithm reacting to some unusual travel patterns. Or just random chance.

"Tulsi Gabbard put on domestic terror watch list a day after criticizing the Biden administration.."

So, she's been on this list for a while now?
She's been critical of the administration since leaving the democratic party in 2022 and of democrats in general even prior.
I agree there are questions about why she's on a watch list, but to say it was, "a day after criticizing the Biden administration..." seems contrived, given she's been doing so for years.

Imagine thinking so highly of yourself that, after being specially screened at an airport, you assume it was because the top tier of the government is out to get you specifically because something you said. Like, thinking your opinion is so important that people have meetings about you, people’s jobs are centered around being prepared to follow you, and anybody in the government center their existence around you.

Wild.

Because there's no reason not to.
Sure there is - there's no good reason for Tulsi Gabbard to be on a watch list.

And as a rule, I generally start from a position of skepticism. If a claim is made, then there should be evidence provided. So far, the only evidence that's been provided for the claim is that Gabbard had boarding passes marked "SSSS" and that she was subjected to extra security screenings. There are other, simpler, explanations for this phenomenon than "she was placed on a watchlist for being critical of the government." Therefore, it is unreasonable to assume that she is on a watchlist. I'm not ruling out the possibility - stranger things have happened - but that's not the first, most obvious explanation.

This doesn't strike you as strong enough evidence?


Gabbard confirmed suspicions that something strange was happening to her when Uncover D.C published that the former presidential candidate had been placed on the Suspected Terrorist List. An information that several whistleblowers of the Federal Air Marshals made available to them.

So what's Tristan Leavitt's motive for lying?
