2/We got a glimpse into TFG's true 🤔 in a Politico story published Tuesday night. Here's the key bit:
"While his rivals relentlessly pursued TFG's all-important endorsement w repeated trips to Mar-a-Lago, Vance kept his distance after an early mtg —
3/& ultimately won over the image-focused TFG anyway, w him privately telling Vance he had a 'beautiful' golf swing and was a 'handsome son of a b---'."
Yup. That's it.
Central casting!
Analysis: The insane -- but true! -- reason JD Vance is now favored to become a US senator
4/JD Vance won the Ohio Republican Senate nomination on
Tuesday.
In selecting Neil Gorsuch for the Supreme Court, TFG was drawn to the fact that the judge (and his wife) “looked the part.”
5/"Beyond the qualifications, what really matters is, does this nominee fit a central casting image for a Supreme Court nominee, as well as his or her spouse," a Republican close to the WH told Politico at the time. "That's a big deal. Do they fit the role?"
6/And when he nominated Kavanaugh for the Supreme Court, TFG said that the judge looked like he came out of "central casting." Given all of that, it shld surprise exactly no 1 that TFG ignored Vance's past criticism of him -- swayed by a smooth🏌️♀️swing & looks.
I want to know how purportedly the DEMS are facing more pressure over the conservative Judges who 🤥 to get their stolen seats on SCOTUS overturning #RoeVWade than the #rethuglicans who by🪝or by crook put them there? This some straight up BS! #11thHour#bodyautonomy
2/ #MoscowMitch & his gang of thugs stole those seats right out from under us & the so-called protest voters in 2016 started this ball rolling along w #TraitorTrump & 🇷🇺 who interfered not only in 2016 but also in 2020 elections. TFG sycophants downplayed Russian involvement
3/in both elections. They purposefully withheld info, changed intel reporting & watered down election info & the IG found DHS altered reports on Russian interference in 2020 election in part because of politics.
3/At least 1 🚌 reportedly dropped off its passengers in front of the bldg that houses Fox News, NBC News & C-SPAN. These nonsensical acts clearly aren't solving any border issues. And it can be argued they aren’t helpful to Abbott personally either.
I remember well my feelings in 1987 when I went to get an abortion. When I was accosted by the “probirthers” outside the abortion clinic who were harassing women using their PERSONAL FREEDOM to obtain the healthcare services provided by a @PPFA clinic. Bec they provide HC servs 2
2/It’s worrisome to me that #Yamiche is outside an abortion clinic interviewing ppl trying to seek services at the clinic.
When I went to get the abortion, I already knew I was pregnant but only a few weeks. Probirthers outside the clinic accosted me, screamed at me #deadlineWH
3/yelling for me not to kill my “baby”. They stuck signs in my face, followed me from my 🚗 in the parking lot all the way to the fence line in front of the clinic — where a staffer met me & escorted me inside — all the while ppl were screaming & threatening me. #DeadlineWH
DHS watchdog says Trump's agency appears to have altered report on Russian interference in 2020 election in part because of politics - CNNPolitics cnn.com/2022/05/03/pol…
2/another reason for the #wagthedog news cycle LEAK ?
TFG’s DHS delayed & ALTERED an intel report related to Russian interference in the 2020 election, making changes that "appear to be based in part on political considerations," according to a newly released watchdog report.
3/DHS IG's assessment provides a damning look at the way DHS' Office of Intel & Analysis dealt w intel related to 🇷🇺efforts to interfere in US, stating DHS had deviated from its standard procedures in modifying assessments related to Moscow's targeting of the 2020 presidential 🗳
The “prolife” ppl want to think they could save 1M babies a yr by eliminating #RoeVsWade but no one ever says what they would do w those add’l babies! MS & TX rank dead last & fifth from the bottom, respectively, in the Annie E. Casey measure of childhood welfare.
2/Of the anti-abortion states, 15 ranked among the 25 states with the largest share of children living in poverty as of 2019.
The high childhood poverty rate in 13 anti-abortion states is far above the nat’l average of 14.4%. TX alone has 1.4M 👧 living in poverty.
3/16 also rank in the top half of states for largest share of 👧 living in "extreme" poverty (w incomes half or less of nat’l poverty level or roughly $13,000 for a fam of 4).14 fall in the top half of states for the biggest share of 👦 reporting that they have experienced hunger
3/did @replouiegohmert try to help #BenjamineSpencer ? A man in TX who was in prison for 34 yrs despite being innocent, wrongly accused by a witness who couldn’t have possibly seen him at the crime scene, & another man admitted to the killing?
