Upon review, Vance's stunt is even worse than imagined. It was a product of ineptitude:
Z went into a detailed recap of Russia reneging on agreements (to underscore the need for guarantees-b4-ceasefire). Vance (a DEI admit at Yale Law) is overwhelmed and /1
knows he has no answer. (This is the problem with relying on talking points, versus actually understanding the topic. He's scanning his mind going, "I don't have a rehearsed talking point on this!!! What do I say when he he's done talking?!") 2/ So, instead...
He interjects like he had a spasm up his ass and, knowing he has to change the subject, has a bizarre outburst about the need to show gratitude. (Hm, what does that have to do with what the guy was sayign about Russia and ceasefires?) 3/
He was in over his head. He knew it. He had nothing but dumbed down talking points in his 'arsenal.' Z was giving him a quick history lesson and, having no way to rebut such, he went for a distraction.
A complete mess of a person who blew up a chance at peace.

I realize you just became a Catholic, like, a minute ago but the "Deus Vult" is NOT a "Christian motto." It is a throwback to the rally call in 1096 and Urban II's speech that led to the First Crusade (I'm a medieval history nerd, you are not). It's never been widely used... 1/
since then... Someone serving in the Middle East might get it, as an ode to the Crusades, which Hegsdeth did, OK. Does that make him a white supremacist? No. Do white supremacists often use that slogan? Yes. So, while a stretch, it's not out of nowhere. 2/
It shows Pete considered himself a "crusader" (a little odd maybe? as the wars he served in were not about religion). So, yes, doesn't make him a white supremacist. But you're STRETCHING to say this is just a regular "Christian motto"

TWEEPS: "family values" #Trump advisor Jason Miller appeared by ZOOM at a court hearing today, refusing to pay the cost of William's special education school fee. He even quibbled over things like $6 markers from Amazon for school supplies. 1/
I will be setting up a GoFundMe (as I'd mentioned a few weeks ago, but held out SOME hope that adulterous pervert Miller wasn't THIS evil -- alas, he is) in the hopes of raising the costs for William's school tuition, as this school has really helped him. 2/
In case you're thinking the school is $60,000 a year... hm, it's a mere $1,000 a month. I'll be posting Miller's most recent financial affidavit on the GoFundMe, so you can ask yourselves how someone who spends so much can be so cruel to a 7-year-old. 3/

Let me explain to you CouchBoy's mindset (it's not that hard):

Vance has always had a chip on his shoulder about his family background and his mom; 1/
then he goes to the "Marines" -- yet works in "public affairs" and doesn't see a day of fighting... so more 'chip on his shoulder'/insecurity.... 2/
Then he somehow gets into Yale Law (they always have a few slots for folks who served) but is sneered at for his state-school-undergrad... more chip on his shoulder... 3/

🧵For those of you with an IQ higher than 50 (this excludes much of MAGA), or ethics higher than a con-artist (this excludes much of MAGA), let me explain to you their latest bullshit re #Easter:
You'll see a lot of liars or low-IQ influencers shrieking that Biden has declared Easter as "transgender visibility day," linking to a White House statement acknowledging March 31st as Transgender Visibility Day. 1
This year, Easter happens to fall on March 31st. (It falls on a different day each year -- sometimes in March, sometimes in April.) 2/

🧵You're going to see a lot of #MAGA folks on here, who are claiming that #Biden has "blood on his hands" due to the suspect in the Atlanta-nursing-student's murder being an illegal immigrant from Venezuela who reportedly arrived in 2022. Except... #whoops:
1/ Image
It seems *TRUMP* is the one to blame, if anyone is other than, you know, the murderer.
You see, on his way out the door in January 2021, one of the last things Trump did was carve out a special category for Venezuelas, same as Cubans. 2/
WHY did he do this? Simple. For years, the Right has cast Venezuelans as particularly 'sympatico' bc they are "fleeing socialism." So there a big demand, esp from R's in Florida, to allow tons of Venezuelans to come and give them protection. Bc... they are socialism victims. 3/

For the stupid, let me recap:
The House R's shrieked that Hunter needed to testify. Hunter was like, "Sure, no problem."
Then they issued a subpoena saying, "This is your formal request to show up - and btw, it's going to be in. private/behind closed doors." 1/
We already know WHY they want that bc they've pulled this trick before -- they selectively release excerpts to the media, out of context, from the deposition.
Hunter was like, "No, I'm happy to testify but it has to be in the open, fully transparent." 2/
So, of course, bc their NOT interested in open testimony but rather only 'testimony they can selectively cut-and-paste'... they refused to say "OK, fine-- it can be in the open" 3/
