“stick to matters of morality”… That’s exactly what he’s been doing you fat-headed clown! The pope has been talking about the (im)morality of war and the abuse of power. Which is painfully relevant.
I’ve seen some people talk about how Vance is some intellectual titan who we should fear because he’s so smart. But all I’ve seen over the last few years is him being played like a fiddle by scumbags and other idiots.
I’ve never had reason to think Vance was any smarter than the average person.
But I just want to point out that smart people also get fooled by scumbags and confidence tricksters. People are almost always smarter in some areas compared to others, and so even if you’re smart in science or politics, that doesn’t mean you’re going to see every con from a mile away.
I also don’t think he’s so much tricked by them as he’s an opportunist that sees MAGA as his fast track to the Oval Office, and he’s happy to sell his soul and lie through his teeth to do it. But also, yeah, he’s not stupid, per se, but neither is he particularly intelligent or competent.

Same people who thought Paul “Rage Against the Washing Machine” Ryan was a political prodigy and strategic genius.
😂 that’ll never get old!
