Trump is handing all the shit assignments to JD Vance (Iran negotiations, stumping for Orban in Hungary), as well as attacking the Pope just as Vance is promoting his new book on becoming a Catholic, in order to force Vance to resign so that the Orange Hemorrhoid can name Jared 'Lurch' Kuschner his VP.

Lawrence is focusing on his mental illness tonight. Thank goodness we still have MS NOW. OGBuzz Apr 13 #3

Ted Cassidy (the original Lurch) and Barron are about the same height, around 6'9". Intractable Tuesday #7

I took her as being serious. TommyT139 Tuesday #8

Vance was definitely handed the trifecta of failure with Matt Gaetz, Viktor Orban, and the Iran negotiations. OGBuzz Tuesday #9

Jared, if anyone TommyT139 Tuesday #10
