In honor of Nancy Mace announcing she wants to be governor of my state, I'm bringing you the worst Nancy Mace posts, thanks to @snorman1776
🧵

In the year 2021, she was masking outdoors... She's not qualified to operate a Waffle House, much less South Carolina

No one prepared us for handling aging parents.

There should be a class. Take the keys: how to convince your parents they shouldn’t be driving.

AP Take the Keys: how to do that when you don’t live near them.

My feeble dad who spends 80% of his day sleeping, drove himself to the optometrist, because HE COULDN’T SEE OUT OF ONE EYE.

My mother nearly got struck by a firetruck, that had its lights and sirens ON.

Why don’t we just drive them?

Because they refuse to move in with us, they want to die in their home, and we live on the other side of the country.

YOUR RED STATE ISN’T SAFE.

This is who South Carolina’s @henrymcmaster has appointed as the head of the Department of Health.

No this isn’t an old picture- 3 years after COVID the dude still masks. Image "Strictly from a public health standpoint, the best way to protect our children is to require the use of masks by everyone in the school.”

Does that sound like the kind of guy a Trump-endorsed governor should be supporting and defending?

Watching the View for the first time in my entire life... "We're not election deniers."

We have a family of 4.
We fly frequently.
I have not purchased a plane ticket for personal use, for anyone in our family in over a decade.
I am not a roadwarrior for work.
Here’s how we do it.

1/ @SouthwestAir gives you “companion pass status” once you hit 135,000 points.

Companion pass status means you name one person and they fly with you for FREE ANYTIME you fly. For a full calendar year.

My husband and I both have our own Southwest credit cards.

I over pay my kids for things I’d like them to do like: Not have to be reminded to make their lunches, practice their instruments, exercise, read a mom selected book etc…

I charge my kids for things I don’t wan them to do: not completing the requested tasks, arguing, complaining etc.

They now pay for everything themselves. It’s been a game changer. Camps, snacks, birthday party gifts, even hygiene, we never hear them ask us for anything material.

Today my daughter said she’d like to go back to horseback riding and I told her she could pay for it if she wanted to do it.

She told me she’s really liked this method of her paying for her own things. A number of you have asked to see one of the daily quest sheets.

This has been evolving over the past few years with a number of different strategies and methods. I change these things daily.

Yes it’s work, but considering how wonderful the pay off has been, it’s very much worth it.

I hesitate to share as this is opening me up to loads of criticism and even more questions.

I want to remind you these kids pay for any dental work that is due to lack of maintenance etc.

These sheets are different for each child.

As these quests become habits I remove them from the list. I also gradually lower payment.

You’ll notice I pay my kid for having a good attitude in a class where she hates the teacher. Every day she’d come home complaining about him, and it would ruin the afternoon.

I don’t have making their beds on the list because we don’t take them to school if their beds aren’t made. They both like to be punctual- so that works for us.

I tend to pay them weekly but I’m
thinking paying them daily may help.

You’ll notice one day she made a lot of $ and another she owed, this is typical.Image

Yesterday I did a random spot check on my teenager’s phone.

Scrolled through her texts….I am so glad I did.

We have all the parental controls on my daughter’s device.

We use a 3rd party app to control access to games time spent on the device.
1/ He claimed to have her phone number in his phone and didn’t know who it was so was texting her to find out. She thought it could have been a friend of hers from camp.

(we didn’t realize she could receive texts from unknown numbers, historically that feature was unavailable) 2/

Don’t do your own research

Do your own journalism

1/🧵 In 2020 I began researching the backgrounds of those reporting on covid. These people were woefully unqualified to be writing on the topics and opining on the data.

Kristi Noem is only a hero because no one pays close attention to SD politics.

To many, especially children, she’s a villain.

🧵 On March 13, 2020, three days after the first known positive case being confirmed in the state, Noem ordered "non-essential" public employees to work from home .

I did a girl's trip to an upscale AirBNB in a luxury high-rise in LA. Late one evening we got off the elevator & saw an odd couple walking down the hallway, they weren't holding hands, they weren't talking & he was much older than her. 1/ A friend chuckled that he had purchased company for the night. Their room happened to be right next to ours, the stood outside, he didn't knock, just texted, as we opened the door to walk-in our apartment I locked eyes with the female and went 'holy sh*t, that's a kid.'

TWO THOUSAND SIX HUNDRED & NINETY-SIX

I'm a nobody! This is insane- I've never even been suspended.

Bot farms are being deployed to mass-block throttling engagement.

Most of us had exponentially more visibility prior to @elonmusk 's purchase… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image Notice there isn't a single mutual block.
Doesn't that strike you as odd?
Suspicious almost?

Trumpers hate Fauci
Trump could have said "You're fired!" to Fauci

Trumpers don't like the shot
It was developed under Trump

Trumpers are anti-lockdown
Trump owns "15 days to slow the spread"

Trumpers hate bailouts
Trump prolonged lockdowns through bailouts Trump failed this country when we needed him the most. But you want to put him back in charge.

There are a whole lot of people in this country. How about you devote yourself to someone that didn't screw us all in 2020?
