I’m sure JD Vance’s tweet to own libs on the Epstein files release is going to be amazing since he’s been working on it for 3 days.

3. ??? The context is obviously Vance's history of tweeting to own the libs. It often appears his main

job as VP is being the regime's chief social media troll, and since a lot of his tweets have been posted here, I didn't think that would have to be explained. Not just posts on X, either. The moment he had an account on Bluesky (where I quickly blocked him), he started trolling.

And even if someone here wasn't already familiar with that history, it can be inferred from what Filipkowski said there.

all he does just like the rest of the GQP is blame, lie, make up shit while cheating, stealing, fueling hatred and nazi stuff.

15. It had not been 3 days at that point, so I thought maybe "3 days" had a special significance I didn't know of

It hasn't even been 3 days right now

So it's just "he normally tries to own the libs right away when big stories come out, but it's been a while since the files came out and he hasn't". Okay, if that is something that's worth noting, then I totally get it, thanks

Also, is it implied that our side is totally owning this narrative after Friday's file release and so he's ashamed, or scared, to make a smarmy comment? Like, is there a corresponding theory as why is has not, that I maybe don't know?

12. I'm guessing the comment refers to JD's unusual silence.

After all, he was lightening fast flailing and failing in his feeble attempt to defend the indefensible killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti.

It’s because he’s never been important enough to notice, until Thiel made him his surrogate. He’s a nobody with ambition, an ego and no morals.

9. 10 Aug 2025 Vance's attempt to link Democrats to Epstein renews calls to release the files

Sun 10 Aug 2025 TheGuardian

Within minutes of the Fox News interview being broadcast, social media began to hum with renewed cries of “release the files!”

Clips of Vance smearing Democrats quickly began to circulate on X. “We know that Jeffrey Epstein had a lot of connections with leftwing politicians and leftwing billionaires … Democrat billionaires and Democrat political leaders went to Epstein island all the time. Who knows what they did,” he said.
