    Vance dismissed Padilla’s appearance last week at a press conference held by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem as “pure political theater.”

    🤣 😂

    Jimmy Don Hillbilly characterizing Padilla’s appearance at ICE Barbie’s event as “pure political theatre”… solidifies the obvious lack of self-awareness amongst the MAGAts… coupled with demonstrating their knowledge that their base is as stupid or even stupider that they are themselves.

    🤦‍♀️ 🤡 🫏 🖕 💩

      As always, their accusations are projection.

      Projection is a handy defensive move, since it gets the accusation out there first, so if/when the same accusation is justifiably made against them, it sounds like childish “No — you are.”

      But I’m pretty sure that Vance, just like his boss, doesn’t do it consciously and deliberately. Instead, like his boss, he projects because he’s so intellectuslly and morally crippled that he can’t even envision acting in any way other than he does.

      For instance, he immediately assumes that Padilla’s actions were political theater because the idea of making a stand driven by sincerity and integrity is so completely alien to him that it doesn’t even cross his mind as a possibility. He immediately assumes it was theater because if it was him, that’s exactly and all it could or would be.

        Correct. Fully buy into this.

        Bullshit. Jimmy Don learned it from Peter Thiel just as Chump learned if from Roy Cohn. It is most definitely both conscious and deliberate. 🤷‍♂️

        No. Not “assumes”. Blatantly, purposefully, and intentionally characterizes those actions as theatre simply for the express reason of belittling those actions.

        This is what passes as empathy for conservatives. They’re incapable of seeing things from other people’s points of view, they can only take their own view and project it onto others.

        Apply this to EVERYTHING they’ve ever said another people is going to do, or what the other person’s motivations are, or really anything.

            Wait, wait, wait…if this is going to be a Dukes of Hazard thing, Cooter was an ally to the erstwhile heroes (confederate naval jack notwithstanding). That would make Putin Boss Hogg and Trump the inept Rosco P. Coltrane, so Vance would be the deputy, Enos (rhymes with penis).
