If he's trying to call Tammy Duckworth stupid, I think it invites comparison between public statements, because one of them has repeatedly said idiotic things and it ain't Lt. Col. Duckworth. And if Vance thinks Rubio is a genius, that's further proof of his own stupidity.

Trump Is Still Obsessed with Stealing Elections The FBI’s seizure of Georgia ballots is as much about future elections as past ones.

"It’s possible that now, unlike in 2020, we no longer live in a world where the actual truth or falsehood of such claims actually matters. 'It does not even matter if what you are saying is the right thing. If our president wants to bring in the forces, he will.'"

β€œWhat we are seeing is the weakness of strong states. Regimes that rely on repression face a challenge: The more force they deploy, the more they risk exposing their own brutality to politically persuadable observers. Overreach doesn’t just project strength; it also undermines legitimacy.”
