This guy went to Yale law school, he does in fact know the difference between martial law and tough on crime
This guy went to Yale law school, he does in fact know the difference between martial law and tough on crime
This from the man who swore blind that Haitian immigrants were eating cats & dogs. What an asshole 😒
Where are the stats on the crimes committed by the LEO in DC. The assaults on innocent people must have increased exponentially. Plus unlawful detention.
Puppet
Where do they get these numbers from? Do they spin a wheel?
Rump pulls them out of ... Never mind, the mental image is too disgusting.
Are you saying nut jobs can't get admitted to Yale?
How is nine days measurable? Compared to the what? The previous nine days? Sounds like gaslighting rhetoric to me.
He lies to fit the agenda du jour
Designated liar.
In JD's defense, he's not known for his honesty. 💩
Nobody ever said he was particularly bright or honest.
Lies, lies & more lies. Nt'l Guard is posted in non-crime areas for photo op only. Everyone hates JD Vance, in some ways he's worse than djtramp.
I don’t think he knows anything for sure. He just does what he’s told it’s fake is a liar never lift up the American people always tears them down
I think you missed his point. He is in fact caping for martial law, abuse of power, etc. *because* it “reduces crime”. Ends justifies means stuff. Not trying to deny the premise.
Ya. I just can’t stand any of them. So depraved.
It’s partial fucking law you idiot
I declined a murder last night. Someone threatened to kill me and I said, "Please don't."
They don't think. Just regurgitating false information to support the narrative they want people to believe
Is this the same guy who’s been on vacation since he was elected pretty much
I thought it was faster than that. Didn’t you bring it down during the press conference between people being interviewed?
Vance is the poster boy for what a man without honor, integrity, and human decency looks like.
Maybe he was fucking couches i stead of studying that part of the law?
Let’s look at “declining murders by 35% in 9 days”. A quick Google search shows DC had 190 murders in 2024. That is roughly 1 murder every other day. So 1 maybe 2 less murders out of 4 or 5. So a 9 day murder rate is meaningless
Why is anyone giving so much deference to Yale Law school at this point? Even my friends from the early GOP indoctrination efforts are asking this question. Harvard is also culpable.
What a couple of utter doofuses playing to their MAGA doofuses who can't do math.
Facts not in evidence, he’s a YLS grad so it’s not certain he does know
Hispanics are eating your pets---------------------- Vance
Who could forget that they told the people that immigrants in Springfield were eating the dogs and the cats? Do they sit around and come up with the most ridiculous, damaging lies and bet on how fast the lies can be spread?
He also thinks that the last two weeks retroactively caused the last four years.
35% in 9 days? Okay... homicides in 2024 115 (in 2025 thus far 101.) Using 2024 data, 115/365 = 0.315 homicides per day. So ~ 1 every 3 days. 9days/3=3, so statistically pre-militia... 3 murders. One less would = his stat. Kind of thinking it might not be cause & effect? mpdc.dc.gov/page/distric...
Statistics teachers/professors are imploding reading this.
He may have gone to Yale, but he skipped classes, right?
He doesn't understand statistics either. How many murders in the last nine days? Data from the Metropolitan Police Department of the District of Columbia shows a drop in homicides for 2025 year-to-date. As of August 2025, there were 99 homicides compared with 112 homicides at the same time in 2024.
He's full of crap
His version of law school was just debate club, where you practice any side of the argument and bring your own alternate facts.
How the regime who doesn't like facts finds the numbers they spout
Probably could use a refreshing in statistics...
Nah. 72% of all statistics are made up by the person citing them, anyway.
The statistics could be true but that's irrelevant to the accusation of a power grab. Fascist regimes clean up the streets and get rid of criminals...
I'm not disagreeing with you but I doubt nine days is enough to back up a trend... especially by 35%
If typically there are 3 homicides in a 9 day span and for whatever reason only two occur, that’s a reduction in homicides of 34%. The statistics class he took was the one where they teach you how to use bullshit stats for propaganda.
Did he though? Maybe his wife did his homework
You might be giving Yale Law too much credit for teaching, you know, the law.
I've worked with Yale educated JDs. You overestimate their intelligence
Occupation is NOT protection Felon Trump's Nazi Regime
He also already publicly admitted he’s willing to lie to get what he wants.
“the ends justifies the means” is fashy Machiavellian “thinking”
So no denial just false statistics. What’s the 35% comparison to what? Knob jockey! You are the person who makes low educated people feel smart.
Once, perhaps. Now he only knows what he's been told to know.
bsky.app/profile/happ...
He should write a book called ‘The art of Lying’ by JD the Deceiver!
Give actual numbers, percents are misleading, how many actual murders? 3 instead of 5? Stop bragging about what you perceive to be a success, you always shit the bed. Everything you say has blown up in your face, this will also.
35% of very little crime is nothing, go into those shithole third world red state cities and do some damage to real crime. I would hope having a couple thousand troops walking around should drive bad people away, but for how long? I wouldn't brag about a few days of crime fighting, you will blow it
He really wanted the Yob.
"declined murders by 35% in nine days" Citation needed. What statistical data is even available to anyone on such a short-term basis? And how is it even remotely plausible, or even rational, to presume that DCNG in the streets is causation?
Do that Covid thing where you just ignore data as inconvenient, so ignore it.
He knows the difference, but he also knows maga probably doesn't.
They pull numbers out of the air and no one questions them. Preposterous
"35% in 9 days???" Something tells me that's made up.
35% in nine days, huh? I don't know, maybe it's a slump. Moron
For one thing- it is most likely a lie and like his boss he is pulling those stats out of his you know what!
This guy also knows Hitler and what Republicans are doing … so there’s that as well 👇🏼
Not 1500%? Sure JD’s boss would embellish a bit more convincingly! Can someone validate his 35% please? And I am guessing Stephen Miller was the guy who took his wife out to dinner the other day for the first time in 4 years, because he only now feels safe.
Sorry to say but the Ivy’s and most of their alumni are overrated. When Americans finally realize the elite from these Ivy league schools are a huge part of the problem in this country, the better off we all will be.
Eyeliner has given JD brain worms. A lying sick asshole that was claiming Haitians were eating cats & dogs. FFS He will say anything.
That's debatable given his abject failure as a “never Trump guy.” He seems to have a rather tenuous grasp on reality.
So all one million active duty military personnel will now do tours of duty on American streets, that sounds like fun.
And what, pray tell, does "declined murders by 35% in 9 days" mean?
The stats aren't the interesting part of what he said. His argument seems to be, any abuse of power is justified if it gets results. No denial of the wish to roll it out across the country.
Agreed that the stats are the least of it, but this senseless bit is used to "prove" the effectiveness of their scheme. Some people will thoughlessly buy it, giving permission to go further. And do worse.
Traded his soul for what ? ?
This guy is an absolute motherfucker.
He mostly knows which side of the couch the cushions are on.
And he f@cks couches. So...it sure seems like that last part nullifies the first part, since he apparently doesn't know the difference between his wife and a COUCH either. 🤔
An interesting check on the math given that DC had last year an average of one death every two days in nine days that would count for four deaths 65% of that would be three deaths essentially a difference of one death and nine days simply random 57% of the homicides occur are in wards 7/8 no NGs
Also, statistics don't work that way. Murder down in 9 days? Compared to what previous time period? The last 9 days? These same 9 days a year ago? That's profoundly stupid and he knows that.
Yale Law must be so very proud of its alumnus.
If JD "They're eating your dogs" Vance says it, then it must be true.
Fucking liar!! Did you take into custody the Lilly white criminals? Couch fucker!
And my God he’s creepy!
OTH, he has “declined” crime.
“I’ll say anything the King orders me to .”
Pretty soon the murder rate will be down 1,300 or 1,400%! Maybe in about 2 weeks!
Yep. Eventually their ‘statistics’ will actually mean that people who were murdered will start returning to life. He’s an idiot.
ends….means…???
Nonsense rules on Fox
Sure, crime goes down when most people stop going out, but I question his numbers when the administration refers to all protesters as criminals committing federal crimes. In that case, “serious crime” has risen.
I can’t bear any more of this.
J.D. got into Yale on the quota system. They needed a moron to follow the wealthy kids around and clean up behind them. Perfect job for J.D. Vance.
He must have cheated for his law degree and lied when he took his oath or else he’s just a big fat liar - either way that doesn’t bode well for him or his credentials!
Every time I hear JD Vance speak, I hear only his lies: “People are eating dogs and cats in Wisconsin.” And I remember his exact words: “If I have to ‘create stories’ so that the American media actually pays attention to the suffering of the American people, then that’s what I’m going to do.”
He seems to lie very easily. I think he's going to end up in hell
Not necessarily, Molly. Based on the evidence we have for at least the last 45 years, it would appear that these “elite” private universities are reenforcing belief in supremacy myths instead of actually educating their students.
Q: People say you wear eyeliner and f*ck couches. How do you respond to that? A: How does wearing a blue tie have anything to do with it. 😶
I hear so many comments about JD that start with "he went to Yale law school, he does know better", and i've concluded it just makes Yale law school look absolutely awful. Just maybe they're not as great as they're made out to be.
Nope he doesn't
Calculating crime changes in 9 day intervals in an attempt to claim victory is the equivalent of saying you're a successful business because you made 10 of the product you make and sold 100% in one day when you could have sold 100 of them.
Ad Vance or Retreat?
Vance is a man utterly without even the slightest moral center. He will do anything that is asked of him. He is the emptiest possible human being. Lying utterly without even the slightest whiff of shame is his natural state. That's why he was chosen; that's what he's there to do.
"Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." Ben Franklin
He also knows he’s wildly manipulating numbers and statistics. If the 35% were true (which he can’t possibly know), it would basically mean a reduction from like 3 murders in 9 days to 2 murders in 9 days. Not so impressive for however many millions they’re spending on deploying unnecessary troops.
But he has not "declined" anything. You don't "decline" crime.
Check. Check and Check
Yale and Harvard are not sending us their best.
But apparently he never took a statistics class.
Another yeah right impossible “statistic” by JD Vance
Shit eating grin and all while pasty white bitch cliches her pearls at the thought of homeless people
And it only took 3,000 ‘+ to do it. Super efficient and only hurt business by 35 percent too
How can you say it's fascism when we've made the trains run on time?
A liar and a rank propagandist for a fascist regime. Mark him down for the history books, a true American villain.
But wait, isn’t this the guy who when asked about the veracity of immigrants eating cats and dogs said he was willing to “create stories’ for media attention? Why even bother with this little puppet?
How does a Harvard grad use the term “decline murders”
but... but... but... they're masters of pulling numbers out of their butts. and then using them out of context.
Babylon 5, Season 3: "Cmdr. Susan Ivanova: How are the folks back home dealing with all this? Major Ed Ryan: That's the irony. Most of them have welcomed martial law. It's cut crime down to nothing. On the surface, it's peaceful. Captain John Sheridan: Yeah, the peace of the gun....
Cmdr. Susan Ivanova: I just can't believe so many people...would go along with all this. Major Ed Ryan: He spent the last year putting his people in key places. Anyone who raises a voice is immediately arrested and charged with treason, Under conditions like that, it's... it's easier to keep quiet."
With 101 murders in DC this year and 233 calendar days has past, the rate is 0.434 per day. With a 35% reduction in murder rates that would mean it's now .282 homicides per day. We've gone from 1 homicide per 2.3 days down to 1 homicide per 3.5 days. In a 7 day sampling period. Bullshit!
How did such a complete moron and half brained baboon get through Yale? Doesn’t speak well of Yale, that’s for sure.
also not an economist! 9 days qualifies as the very definition of small sample size. And in addition to this shitty interview, the proper follow up should have been “those things were already decreasing, isn’t your arrival possibly just a coincidence of timing rather than actually having an impact?”
Why aren’t they down 100% or even 50%. Does not seem all that effective
That not the way statistics work you stupid chode. Nine days is meaningless
Not by 600%?
I call BS on JD.
Murder down 35% in nine days. Read he said robberies are down 55%. That's a crazy statement. Must be that new, supersonic math invented by the WH.
How many lives have been saved as a result of this hostile takeover of the district - exactly none.
Forked tongue liar.
He also knows how to lie through his teeth on camera.
What bull he’s spewing
Declined murder by 35% in 9 days?!? The dumbest person in the MAGAt base wouldn’t believe that idiotic lie.
Yes they will. All of them.
yale law. where habitual liars are trained to be better liars
Lord Acton gets it right again!
I believe in freedom of speech. However I do not believe that organizations that continue to spew lies and deliberate misinformation information should go without consequences. Vote out every republican!!! thank you for your attention to this matter. wonder where the #Epstein files are today?
What does a 9 day result (ridiculous!) have to do with a "power grab"? These magats can't even answer questions from Fox now?? As for Yale Law, all that slimeball learned there was how nferior he felt to the earnest liberals and children of the elite that he met there. Resentment is the whole point.
Nice sample size, Festus. How do you even talk about a "decline" of something for 9 days? Particularly something that was dropping 30% before you arrived? Maybe the timing, besides Epstein Distraction, was to take credit for the decline before it dwindled to nothing?
J.D. talkin’ bout Marshall Law.
He failed stats
He knows. HD hopes he will be Prez and I believe he will be a bigger fascist than Trump. JD is sneaky and a bigger hypocrite, than Donald .Trump is blatant and arrogant.
What a complete tool. I wonder what the discussions with his Democratic wife are like late at night..
His what? voterrecords.com/voters/usha-...
So, "formerly a Democrat." Not currently.
Hillary Clinton was a Goldwater Girl you know (when she was a literal child)
so ... you're saying that a person's party affiliation may change, but their political stances don't? I can't really generalize on that point. I know too many people on both sides of it. And if Usha Vance has said anything publicly one way or the other I haven't heard it.
No, I'm saying that someone's party affiliation and views can change, particularly if they were views held early on (I don't hate Hillary like many here seem to.) Per Wikipedia (I know but it's what I got), Usha voted in a Dem primary in 2014 (and yes people sometimes cross-register). But:
She clerked for Roberts and Kavanaugh. She contributed to Blake Masters. These are not things a Democrat does. At some point, something changed. She may have practiced at a left-leaning firm, but so what? We have Republicans at my firm too.
She registered to vote in Ohio in 2018. In Ohio, you acquire a party affiliation either by pulling a ballot in a partisan primary, or by running as a candidate in a partisan election. It scrolls off after 2 yrs. Public records only go back to 2021, but she hasn't voted in a primary since then.
VoterRecords.com is rarely inaccurate, since they pull direct from the BoEs. I'm surprised. It might just have been an assumption on someone's part, or maybe she voted in a R primary between '18 and '20, but either way she's unaffiliated now.
His wife is not a Democrat.
Oh, I'm sorry. I thought his wife was a partner at a top San Francisco Democratic leaning firm like Mannat Phelps here in LA, my mistake...
Consider not making assumptions before considering a subject holistically
She clerked for Roberts and Kavanaugh, and gave political donations to Blake Masters.
Politics and tech firms, my two favorite dinner party topics.
Pretty sure that that 35% statistic is utter bullshit.
It's "reduced" not "declined", VD. Try reading a dictionary when you're on one of your vacations, you feckless liar.
Wrong. He knows the difference. It’s just deflections; evil intentioned obfuscation actually.
what a blight on Yale.
St Louis Mo has the highest murder rate of any American city. It is a Republican city in a Red state . DC was rated 19th before the troops were unleashed . The invasion of DC is a scam . EPSTEIN !
The City of St Louis is an independent city, it is not in a county. The leadership of the City of St Louis is Democratic. St Louis County also is run by Democrats. St Louis County has more Dem voters than surrounding counties. And yes the invasion of DC is a scam, and a distraction.
Thanks. You got there before I could respond.
Trump won Missouri by a 18.49 % margin and both senators and the governor are Republican . It’s bright red .
I'm not arguing that MO isn't Red.
I’m here now, feel very safe even without the NG deployed 🤷♂️
he continued……”Just think of the drop in crime we would see if we started quartering soldiers in people’s homes…..you know…..for safety.”
How you gonna measure the murder rate in a city in a 9 day increment?
Such lies . The regime has commited than 35%
This is all working up to intimidate Dem voters in the midterms. It will be Martial law in another name. Down with the Tyrants
how is it a power grab when criminals are being tried and executed on the street by a group of “judges”?
Just lies and more lies - rolling off the tongue
and between "tough on crime" and blatantly fabricating numbers for the purpose of state propaganda
The corollary: "You can have a PhD and still be an idiot" Richard Feynman
The lies are obvious.
Vance hates "blue states" and "blue cities" so much he and his family has vacationed in three of them so far this year
Uh no, you didn’t
The murder rate in DC is something like one murder every 2 days. For nine days, the expected number (technical term, not the number you expect) is 4.5. It's not unlikely to have only 3, which is more than 25% less. www.theglobalstatistics.com/homicide-rat...
“Declined murders by 35% in nine days” Of course he uses the correlation/causation fallacy. Weak arguments are all they’ve got.
But like everyone in Trumps world he more than likely has seriously sick personal proclivities and is being blackmailed in his part of the "Criminal Amway Syndicate"
Or maybe yale isn’t as great as we pretend it is?
Yale Law indeed has a lot of fascists coming through its doors. Look at SCOTUS - 3 of the 4 currently that went there are fed society stooges.
This bitch Vance has some kind of Krasnovian Kompromat on his own ugly little supplicating monkeyass, surely... 🖕😑🖕
He also thinks we're stupid and can't see that the federales are not patrolling high crime or gang controlled areas. They're patrolling the main drag in fucking Georgetown.
JD Vance is as ignorant of statistics as he is devoid of ethics.
We're all beginning to wonder if Ivy League law schools are really all that good, or if any law school is worth the cost.
When are they going y take over Houston or Nashville? They have crimes rates comparable to DC….
Is he kidding?
Yale? No, he went to Hillbilly College, right? An old schoolhouse under an oxycontin distillery in a cavern in a canyon, right next door to Clementine's coal mine.
And they declined the restaurant business by just as much.
So instead of ten murders in the past nine days, you had seven. 9 days is not nearly enough to detect a trend. And by the way there have been 2 homicide arrest and 163 immigration arrest during that time period. More immigration arrests than everything else combined from DUI to Armed Robbery.
How do you decline the murder rate in 9 days? How stupid do you have to be to believe that?
Heritage bought his brain for the low, low price of our democracy.
Narcissistic power-lust contributed to the purchase.
One of my friends attend Yale law. She said the heritage foundation was all over them, especially the scholarship kids. They would feed them and force them to listen to their RW bullshit. I’m sure his sad little personality made it easier to turn him to the dark side.
Ya, he’s another one who can be flattered into anything.
Peter Thiel owns at least 3/4's of him.
He’s also a transparently disingenuous person who lies like he thinks truth has no right to exist
DEI acceptance to Yale based on his being a hillbilly.
Vance, all you are good at is fucking your couch!
He’s so full of it.
He also knows the difference between truth and lying, although he ignores it here.
Remember Vance is the story creator he’s creating the story the other ones run with.
He’s just playing the class idiot,he has no charisma. He could not win an election, the only way he can win as if……….
I can't imagine how his wife can put up with such nonstop petulance.
Oh yes, the famous 9 day interval has always been the most important. Who needs weeks and months or even years? And that doesn't mean dick. Already hiostorically low crime to begin with. Numbers man....
Yes, because a sample of nine days is plenty to justify this idiocy. Maybe he should have paid more attention at Yale instead of doodling couches in his notebooks.
These Republicans fool lie easier than they breathe!!!!!!
Nine days is not a reasonable measure of data to compare to years of statistics. Are we going to have thousands of, millions of armed masked military prowling our streets 24/7 forever?
Our tax dollars have to be spent somewhere.
The majority of Americans, regardless of party, would prefer to spend our tax dollars on healthcare and education though
Yep. Doesn't look like we are that important anymore.
He probably knows "decline" is not a verb too.
Right, everyone knows you conjugate verbs and decline nouns
He thinks his meemaw's spirit saved him from a deadly car crash. Read his book. I'm not lying.
He didn't answer the question. Just said what they're going is good if crime goes down.
He was probably on the couch during that lecture.
Going to X school doesn't prove you actually know anything.
I'm waiting for them to say: "we made the trains run on time"
Republicans just talk and lie and it is policy for them.
For sure he knows the difference. But he needs to capitulate and support his boss by answering evasively even when he knows the correct answer. It’s like pleading the fifth without pleading the fifth.
he's ambitious and waiting in the offing for something to happen to Trump ... he'll do anything despite the fact that he betrays his own religion and everything he learned in school... what a hypocrite
No one measures crime over four days. More obvious bullshit.
Utter BS. He makes it up as he goes.
Going to Yale Law should have at least taught him that lies are easily disproven.
He does and he doesn’t care it’s all about power and money. Reporters need to follow the money and start asking “what did he promise you”
That’s BS. Can we all agree that he’s an idiot?
He also knows the difference between one week and a trend.
Him and Trump both just make up numbers and percentages of the top of their head!
Going to Yale law, does NOT guarantee that he learned anything about the law, just as going to Wharton's didn't teach trump anything about economics or business!
