JD Vance is shocked and disappointed that folks believe the WSJ story of Trump's birthday message to Epstein.

[Swede]

There are more pictures of Trump partying with Epstein than Trump partying with his grandkids.

[Johonny]

1. JD Vance told us immigrants were eating pets

They were steal and eating other people's fucking pets. It wasn't true. It had zero fucking evidence. Meanwhile there is ample evidence Trump was friends of Epstein for over a decade. To put that in perspective, neither Mush or Bannon lasted a full year of Trump's friend, but Epstein hung out with Trump for over a decade. So, yeah, I cam believe he have Epstein a birthday wish on his 50th birthday.

2. He's full of shit.

By October, it will be POTUS Vance. Then, let the games begin....

[SalamanderSleeps]

3. I don't think JD actually poops out of his butt.

He is just spewing shit out of his mouth.

He's not an actual human being.

He is Peter Theil's pet sea urchin.

[yardwork]

12. That's very unfair to sea urchins.

They are beautiful creatures that serve an important role in the ecosystem.

Also, as another DUer noted here once (I think it was DFW) we must acknowledge that JD Vance is a human.

No definition of humankind is complete without acknowledging that we include individuals like Vance. And Trump.

This is on us. No other living creatures act this way.

4. I suspect the WSJ has authentication of some sort...

... up its sleeve.

They know exactly who they are up against. Whatever else they may be, I don't see them as some sort of scandal sheet prone to tossing out unsubstantiated bullshit. I am betting they have ammo to bring to the table if sued over this.

And I suspect 47 knows it and won't follow up on his threat. He'll believe denouncing and threatening is all he has to do to "kill" the story.

Of course, time will tell.

5. The word

shocked coming from a buffoon who said people were eating pets.

[yardwork]

13. And then admitted that he knew it was a lie.

[JoseBalow]

6. The sycophant doth protest too much, methinks

I know bullshit when I see it. He basically confirmed it's all true.

[Skittles]

7. YES JD, IT DEFINITELY DOES SOUND LIKE THE RAPIST TRUMP

IT FUCKING DOES INDEED.

[fujiyamasan]

8. I like Jon's response

JD Vance is an unusually odious creep.

I mean do these folks do nothing but project? I mean even going back to 2016, their whole conspiracy then was pizza gate, which was something about Hillary trafficking sex predators or something completely unhinged. And now we have an actual pedophile, who died under very strange circumstances (supposedly a suicide), during the same president’s first term, who he happened to be close friends with, and finally they then call everything a hoax?

Release the fucking files.

9. So "Sad". Too Bad...Vance!

[Oeditpus Rex]

10. 'Doesn't it violate some rule of journalistic ethics

to publish a letter like this without showing it to the victim of this hit piece?"

No. That's completely at the editor's discretion. If that did happen, it would most likely be to get a reax story for the front page ("President denies allegations in letter sent to newspaper" with a reefer to the letter), which would be even worse for the "victim."

[blubunyip]

11. "journalistic ethics"

[Paladin]

14. J.D. Vance---out of his depth, as usual.

Further confirmation of something I've known for decades: Just because you make it through law school (even a fancy one like Yale) doesn't preclude your being a complete and utter dumbass.

[malaise]

15. Word is that Shady Vance is already ordering

new couches and drapes

[Quiet Em]

16. So tired of these jerks always trying to paint the con artist as a victim

He is not a victim. He is a lying, cheating, fraud.
