I would throw all the money at just one reporter who asks JD Vance point blank "Sir, isn't the man you're campaigning with actually borrowing Mr. Epstein's plane right now?" live on the air. The squirming would be glorious.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

They never will. They want to protect their access to the candidates and don't want the death threats. I guarantee none of these milquetoast reporters are willing to do that.
Maybe someone like Robert Evens would do it, but he's probably on a "kick out on sight" list for such things.
Edited just in case it wasn't clear enough:
The plane was liquidated, bought by some random charter plane company, and then Trump hired a charter plane. It's as much news as if I hired a taxi, and the physical car that came over was previously owned by Epstein (bought by that taxi company in a liquidation).
That's what this particular plane issue is. It's nothing. Attack Trump's actual connection to Epstein. Hiring a charter plane that was previously owned by someone else is not that.
No idea why you're in the negatives. Not only that, but it was just one of J.E.'s private planes, of which there are a finite supply of in the country. It's a nothingburger other than the fact that it maybe illustrates just how big of a guy Epstein was
It also proves that Trump's team just doesn't look into anything that the media might consider an issue and use to attack him. Given his drama-laden reactions to some things, I don't think that's a conscious choice but rather incompetence. They just don't consider what might be used to attack him which is also why they always react liktheyve been caught with their pants down, because they are. All the time.
It isn't a real issue, but a lot of media doesn't give a shit about real issues, they make whatever they can an issue because that brings in viewers which in turn means advertising revenue. It used to be that the staff and campaigns would vet suppliers for this type of thing, no matter how tangential, because it could be used against them.
If there's anything the Republicans have mastered over the last 50+ years, it's how to make something that literally isn't an issue to anyone, an issue to their base. One would think with that mastery they would try to limit that exposure themselves.
If that was the only issue... sure. But Trump was literally friends with the sex trafficker, and there's photos of them together to prove it!
That. Is. Not. This. Plane. Issue.
Yeah but
Fuck that even the dude HUNG THE FUCK OUT WITH HIM
I might use Hitler's headphones cause he dead now and they mine, don't mean we friends. Trump literally was this dudes good ass fuckin friend
I can’t wait for you to see how headphone technology has improved in the last 80 years
Now I'd like to see some diesel-powered metal headphones with flames from Castle Wolfenstein to compare ;)
Yeah, they've got batteries that can die and they constantly lose signal now. Plus all the lag.
Weird how every time they win it's fair, every time those lose it's fake.
Not quite, even when Trump won in 2016, he insisted there was election fraud and that he should've won by a larger margin.
Yeah, that's a good point
Republicans aren't sending their best.
Wait...
Yes.
Yes they are.
Couch it in terms we can understand, JD.
Weird
Please keep running your mouth until Election Day, JD.
There's a sadness in those eyes now that all the eyeliner in the world can't hide.
Huh?
Maybe he's full of it. Maybe it's Maybelline.
"wildly compares ?
“Giving Kamala Harris control over inflation policy, it’s like giving Jeffrey Epstein control over human trafficking policy,” Vance told host Shannon Bream.
Why is he so beautiful? 😆. More eyeliner dude!
Good, good.
I really wish there was a way to filter posts using specific words. I'm so tired of Trump, Vance, Biden, and Harris. There's still months to go off then always being in the news, too.
(at least on Sync) if you go in settings > filters, you can hide posts by certain keywords
I just use my browser. Thank you though
