Tulsi: it is a fireable offense to present facts that are inconvenient for Dear Leader
By 
There were people who thought this authoritarian lickspittle would be a viable presidential candidate for the Democratic Party:
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has fired two top intelligence officials who oversaw a recent intelligence assessment which contradicted President Donald Trump’s assertions that the gang Tren de Aragua is operating under the direction of the Venezuelan regime, two officials said Wednesday.
The assessment undermined the rationale for Trump invoking a rarely used 1798 law, the Alien Enemies Act, to allow suspected Tren de Aragua (TdA) gang members in the U.S. to be summarily deported without standard due process.
Not that this hasn’t always been obvious, but UNITARY EXECUTIVE THEORY is just a (very slightly) fancier way of saying “if the president does it, it isn’t illegal.”
The idea that it is the purpose of the executive branch to actualize a president’s totalizing political agenda is going to lead inexorably to this destruction of the government’s capacity to do anything.
