    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.

      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.

        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!

        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.

            Like use some fucking common sense: why would they choose that plane on purpose?

            Knowing the former history of the plane, why wouldn’t Trump tell them to literally give him any other fucking plane? if it were anyone else I’d write it off as a coincidence, but that man getting that plane isn’t just random chance. But you’re telling me not one person who was responsible for that transaction at any step of the way didn’t look at the renter, look at what plane he was renting, and say “Hey, given the history between these two, we may wanna give the guy another plane…”, even if only to avoid bad optics.

            Trump being on that plane right now means he either knew and didn’t care, or directly requested it.

                When you rent a car do you ever ask who drove it prior?

                Your rental car doesn’t have its VIN painted on the tail in large lettering and publically searchable.

                It’s called vetting your suppliers. To make sure someone you’re using isn’t a potential liability.

                  That is a completely different argument than “Trump purposefully choose to be on a former Epstein plane because… reasons” that the other guy is making. Yes, we all know the Trump team is inept, hence why they hang around the guy. The fact that they didn’t vet their supplier isn’t proof of some conspiracy.

                If I were to recognize the car as one being owned by a murderer or pedo or something? Absolutely. Trump was on that plane enough to know it was Epstein’s. It would be like Michael Cohen saying he doesn’t recognize Trump’s jet.

                  No you wouldn’t and we’re not talking about swapping our a Corolla for a Honda Civic. The amount of private jets for charter that can support someone like Trump and his company on such a short notice are in very limited supply. Beggers can’t be choosers, and all.

                  Trump was on that plane enough to know it was Epstein’s.

                  You have nothing to support this. It wasn’t the Lolita Express, it was just one plane of many that an LLC of Epstein’s owned.

                  There is plenty of actually supportable claims to make about Trump, this isn’t one of them and you are grasping at straws here

                  ETA: Let’s just let this train of thought run, though. What exactly do you think happened here? Trump intentionally grounded his plane because he knew a fleet jet from his old friend Epstein was available for charter and he really wanted to ride in it instead of his personal jet?
