JD Vance dossier, hacked by Iranians, posted by journalist Ken Klippenstein

The dossier probably reveals Vance’s awkward design features, cheap materials, and a tendency for his accelerator pedal to get stuck.

I skimmed through it. Biggest takeaways is JD really has no beliefs of his own - he peddles whichever beliefs he’s paid to peddle. Bought and paid for with no morals. But nothing that a Google search couldn’t have already told us. And already has.

r2 The vulnerabilities section of it on page 18 reads like Vance is basically a Democrat lite. I've said this before and I'll say it again, it's highly possible Vance is sabotaging Trump's campaign on purpose and is still a "never-Trumper." That would be hilarious. What would be even more hilarious is if multiple people in Trump's campaign were in on it. A girl can dream.

Steven Cheung had best get himself on a slow boat to China before November 5th.

Trump used to be a Democrat himself and donated to Kamala Harris when she ran for California attorney general, so I wonder if Trump himself is sabotaging the entire Republican party as revenge against the establishment. Maybe it stems back to the mental abuse inflicted on him by his domineering father, which likely contributed to him becoming a malignant narcissist/authoritarian who loves to destruct things and cause chaos.

^^ Also, Trump has changed his party affiliation more times than Vance has changed his name. Both men are wildcards.

r5 Perhaps. It's possible he wanted to tear down the GOP and rebuild it in "his" image because he hated them more. You have to admit the Republican Party is basically unrecognizable, now. But if you look at his campaign donations over the years there is a noticeable shift to supporting Republicans within the last 10 years. One could argue his donations were a way to control them. Money is power.

Oh, those people from “Irania” . ..

I love that they called them 'pseudo-Christian' beliefs. Also that they listed as a liability that his wife lived with her mother after the birth of his child while he lived alone in Ohio. Foretelling that he would expect grandmothers and aunts to provide free childcare and if you don't have a female relatives willing to work for free then sucks to be you.

However, they missed out on so many red flags. They didn't listen to any of his podcasts? They didn't delve into his conversion to a brand of Catholicism that isn't approved by the church - several mouthpieces for these new political converts have been defrocked and that's no easy feat considering pedos were not defrocked. They didn't list the many, many awful things he said about Trumpism. I don't see any conversations with his former bosses. Two bosses were on record saying he did nothing and got the job as a favor to Thiel. They didn't see those and call the bosses? Nothing on his failed business. Nothing on his fake charity.

Of course Elon the "free speech warrior" banned Klippenstein

Hold me James David!

R7 Back when Trump started the birth certificate rumors about Obama, I thought he had lost his damn mind. He seemed socially liberal, and I thought “The Apprentice” was a model of fairness, diversity, and inclusion, with Omorosa, a Black woman, dominating the competition. Trump even hired her to campaign for him. Now he’s ranting about Haitians eating cats and dogs? He’s like The Producers, creating an offensive play that’s supposed to fail, but turns into a huge hit because it’s so hilariously awful.

Just from skimming the dossier, it looks like Vance will say and do whatever it takes to get elected. He has no core beliefs.

The real question is how much of this information Tim Walz will bring up at the debate. Vance doesn't seem like he has any good defenses for any of it.

So unfair! Journalists are only supposed to leak Hillary's emails and John Podesta's risotto recipe!

We already know that Vance has no core beliefs, just core motivations. No surprise there.

r13 The problem is that most of the candidates running have been all over the map politically. Trump, Harris, Vance, specifically, seem to shift their views based on what they think will get them votes. That's why elections are basically just popularity contests at this point about who has the more likeable personality. Because when you whittle these people down to their basic political elements, it's very inconsistent and doesn't inspire trust, at all.

I honestly don't understand how any of them have such enthusiastic supporters. "Fans" if you will. And Trump's personality is awful, so the existence of his little fan club is especially baffling to me.

R11 LOL, JD Vance has never looked that good naked from the back, even on his best day ever.

R16

R3 - you’re not suggesting we should float that theory en masse? Are you? 😈

r19 Go nuts. This is the era of "creating stories" after all.

In 2020, he said that Trump "failed to deliver" as president and that Biden would beat Trump. LOL, because he claimed that Trump did such a great job as president that he was "won over"
