Drudge is promoting that JD Vance is cutting Trump on the Epstein stuff.  Covert influence op or is Vance seeing his only chance of being POTUS is that he takes over after an impeachment? 

JD is an honorable man.

That’s a conspiracy I can get behind.  He’s a snake and at some point people might see Trump is of no use to them anymore.  The high powered tech folks will move on to JD as their puppet and hope for the best.

I went to ChatGPT for a JD version of the Mark Anthony Speech...(Shakespeare)

Got this, I think it fits

Quote

Citizens, friends, countrymen, hear me now.

I speak not to inflame, nor to flatter,

But to weigh the choices, to mark the deeds,

And to honor the bonds that hold our republic together.

 

We have before us a man, a figure of ambition and ascent,

J.D. Vance, a son of struggle, a voice risen from the hills.

And yet, as I look upon his path,

I am compelled to ask—what guides him?

Is it the call of service,

Or the lure of power?

 

We cherish our nation, the voices of the people,

And we must measure every act against the good it produces.

Ambition is not sin; it is the fire that drives men to greatness.

But unchecked, it can burn the bridges beneath them,

And leave only shadow where light should dwell.

 

Consider his story, the hardships he overcame,

The echo of his people in his words.

Yet do we not see, too, the halls he seeks?

Do we not ask—will his climb serve all,

Or only elevate the man himself?

 

We honor those who rise from nothing,

But we must honor, above all, principle.

A republic survives not on stories,

Nor on eloquence, nor on charisma,

But on the balance of duty, restraint, and justice.

 

Therefore, let us act with care,

Let us judge with reason, not impulse,

And let us hold our leaders accountable,

Not for their rise alone,

But for the ways they lift—or fail to lift—the people they claim to serve.

 

I speak to you now, citizens, not to command,

But to remind you that the measure of a man

Is found not only in the heights he reaches,

But in the hands he holds and the hearts he honors.

I don’t know what happened to Kathy Hochul, but I like this new version.

I have a family member who is a poll worker and says that particular day gives her so much faith in the system and how foolproof it is.

I know no one around here like Charlie LeDuff, but instead of covering the election process, he chose to work it in Detroit in 2020.  He was at the TCF center, right where republicans tried to barge in.  His coverage after the fact, explaining the process, how many different eyes/hands touch the ballots, how they break down the process between teams and match up at the end to confirm all the numbers work out and audit discrepancies, he was thoroughly impressed.

This potentially could be huge.   The grift talk with Trump is not new, but outside of media, no one really has been talking about it.  Would be nice to see the flood gates open and see others call this out as well.

And yet the hit piece you last posted by LeDuff, he actually used a 2020 election denier who was at the capitol on January 6th as his expert for the article. That’s why no one around here likes LeDuff.

They are going to have to answer for a lot on why they are protecting the names of pedophiles.

I don't care who that sender is, it could be Trump himself, Bill Clinton, Bernie Sanders, or any other wealthy person or powerful politician. An email like that raises a ton of alarm bells. That needs to be thoroughly investigated and looked into, regardless of who the sender is.
