Could we be saying “President Vance” by mid-term elections?

Aside for the sake of this essay, I never want to write the words “President J.D. Vance” again.

The MAGA cult base, even among hard-liners, is melting down over the White House’s refusal to release the Epstein files. The Felon-in-Chief is repudiating those who used to be willing to follow him off a cliff, and he is suing The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) — not exactly a lefty publication — for publishing Epstein file news despite Oval Office threats.

For those who may not be aware, Rupert Murdoch, the owner of Fox so-called “news”, also owns the WSJ and the New York Post. Despite the adjudicated sexual assaulter pretending to be president already costing Murdoch billions over the years, Murdoch’s media empire has continued to lie, obfuscate, and deflect for the former host of Celebrity Apprentice, who likely wouldn’t have ever seen the view from behind the Resolute Desk if not for Murdoch. If Fox had existed during the Watergate scandal, Richard Nixon probably wouldn’t have had to resign from the presidency in 1974.
