Listen, you’re a busy lawyer. You don’t have time to keep up with the vastness of the internet. Plus, in case you haven’t noticed, there is an impeachment trial going on. That spectacle, presided over by Chief Justice Roberts, is sucking any spare time you might have. But that doesn’t mean some hilarious ish isn’t going down on the interwebs.
Take, for example, the Twitter feed of George Conway. Conway is notable in Biglaw as a litigator at Wachtell who had some conservative-leaning political aspirations. But, as we all know by now, he is also married to counselor to the president Kellyanne Conway. And he doesn’t like his wife’s boss. Like, not at all. Like he’s started a fund, The Lincoln Project, to make sure Trump gets defeated in 2020 and his wife is out of a job.

As interesting as that is to watch from afar, Conway has doubled down on the Trump attacks. Just the other day, he went on a Twitter screed slamming the president for some of the most egregious mistakes he’s made while in office. It’s a shade-filled walk down memory lane; actually, it bypasses shade and gets to full-on dunking on the president. Anyway, it would be an entertaining thread regardless of who put it together, but once you know Conway’s personal connection to the president, well *chef’s kiss*.
Enjoy!
A thread for those who think @realDonaldTrump could find Ukraine on a marked map:

The Trump Gold Card: A New $1 Million Pathway To A U.S. Green Card
A new proposal would let wealthy foreign nationals secure an opportunity for a U.S. green card with a $1 million 'gift' to the government, sparking legal and ethical debate.
.@realDonaldTrump seems to think Paris is in Germany. (It kind of was for a few years in the 1940s, I guess.) https://t.co/RF5e3Rb1VO

Also, @realDonaldTrump didn’t understand that when it’s the afternoon in Washington, it’s the middle of the night in Tokyo. https://t.co/1rRD1SOw0C

I have to say that really is my personal favorite. @realDonaldTrump is there trashing the presidents of Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia for the breakup Yugoslavia, and they’re like, WTF. And then it dons on them—Balkans, Baltics … buffoon.https://t.co/ecZ4a9qOx1

Oh, wait. A small correction. @realDonaldTrump thought Nipple and Button were in India, not separate countries. My bad—we all make mistakes. Sorry. https://t.co/TfvMJ05n9m

.@realDonaldTrump once got a call from the president of *South* Korea, but then told hundreds of journalists that he’d gotten a call from the leader of *North* Korea. https://t.co/qtGtTS2WSf

.@realDonaldTrump once told the prime minister of India, “It’s not like you’ve got China on your border.” (India has a 2,520-mile border with China.)https://t.co/U5ncPjFbbp

When Gordon Sondland called @realDonaldTrump on July 26 and said he was in Kyiv, Trump had to ask whether Sondland was in Ukraine, according to the testimony of embassy staffer David Holmes. https://t.co/IXRiivo82z pic.twitter.com/RGkFTYCZ15

.@realDonaldTrump asked, “Why is Seoul so close to the North Korean border?”
And then, referring to the 10 million inhabitants of South Korea’s capital, he said, “They have to move!”https://t.co/8JZTJQ5Qqt

And in 2019, @realDonaldTrump remained blissfully ignorant, and confused about, the distinction between England and the UK. He seems to think that England changed its name. Maybe a branding thing. Who knows. https://t.co/QIYE4lYTEd
