Couch f*cking bearded sack of smug-assed pig excrement mocks disabled combat Veteran Tammy Duckworth.

https://www.thedailybeast.com/vance-under-fire-for-mocking-disabled-combat-veteran/

Vance sparked outrage after comparing a Purple Heart–decorated U.S. Senator disabled by her Iraq War service to the titular character in Forrest Gump.

Vance, 41, posted the remark on X Wednesday amid a heated exchange between Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Sen. Tammy Duckworth during a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing, where the two clashed over U.S. military action in Venezuela.

“Watching Tammy Duckworth obsessively interrupt Marco Rubio during this hearing is like watching Forrest Gump argue with Isaac Newton,” the vice president wrote.

“Thank God we have a Secretary of State who knows his facts AND has the patience of Job. Great job,” Vance added in a follow-up post, which had been viewed roughly half a million times as of publication.

Senator Duckworth is a HERO

Honors & Retirement: She was awarded a Purple Heart and retired as a lieutenant colonel in 2014 after 23 years of service.


Education: She earned a B.A. in Political Science from the University of Hawaii at Manoa (1989), an M.A. in International Affairs from George Washington University (1992), and a PhD in Human Services from Capella University (2015).

Vance hates her because she’s a woman , combat vet and half Asian,

He's the next generation of Trumpism, and he's still unopposed from our side. You can't beat him with ridicule, especially not incompetent ridicule. If you're going to look down on him and his movement (the one he's going to inherit), you have to be elevated well-moored intellectually and emotionally in your vision.

It's so simple. We Dems need to do work on the real issues facing the country and not to chase every shiny object that makes us want to cry or splutter or scold. Be strong again. We took a wrong turn post-Obama, and we need to swallow our pride, take the car back a few miles and ask the gas station people for directions.

If you can do it funny. But I think he's more vulnerable to a sober focus on core Democratic values. The couch stuff is now lame. The eyeliner stuff made it on Maher last week, and it still got laughs.

the ones with all the ridiculous wealth and thanks to them sucking up to Trump, a whole lot of power. I can see where they are the ones who will see to it that he is our next President.
