Oof. How bad thinsg have gotten since I added this to the list (like before he was actually the VP and was just running-mate. Go back to jogging around together!!).
Okay the first sentence basically sums it up. He left his Venmo public (lol?) and it shows how embedded he is in the network of elites he otherwise rails against (these ones are okay, of course, because they are right-wing??). Lots of department of justice ppl, conservative think tanks, businesses, journalists, media ppl. and tech exects (ofc…).
Ahhhh… venmo automatically adds any phone contacts you have who are also on venmo to your friends list, which it leaves public by default? So this is more a ‘who was in Vance’s phone contacts in 2016’ thing. Still concerning how many very right-wing people there are.
The right are getting the message from this that Vance is there to be influenced, and open to talking.
Okay i had no idea Venmo was so privacy-lax, this is remarkable. Yeah, just have a public list of receipts! You don’t even need crypto for that!
My takeaways: - venmo is owned by paypal?! - venvo are so bad at privacy?! - vance is crap, but we already knew that - the Right percieve him as someone they can influence, an in.
