Vivek ramaswamy

[JKLivin]

You should open up your view of the world a bit because that is absolutely not the case. People all over the world were literally asking "WTF is the US doing?" on a regular basis when Trump was President. World leaders laughed on camera at him and about him.

And now they think we no longer matter. I prefer the former to the latter.

Hmmmm.
Seems you and randy prove on a daily basis that you matter because you're being laughed at.

I prefer our President and country don't matter to others than be laughed at - but I'm not right in the head.

I would argue that your laughter says more about you than it does about me or Randy.

I looked up “grasping at straws” and it said “see ‘delusional’”

Then, I went to see “delusional”. It showed me this.

Interesting thread.

Must be the same drug they’ve been giving Brandon. Are incontinence and inability to navigate stairs among the side effects?

I would agree that Brandon is, at times, delusional. Good observation!

No need to argue. I agree.
It says I can and do find humor in things I find to be insane and delusional. Which of course shouldn't really be funny to me.
Chalk it up to my not being right in the head.

You see the bit over the weekend where he said that Pence should have tossed the election results and unilaterally (in his capacity as President of the Senate) imposed a one-day, next-day, in-person redo of the 2020 election?

Real constitutionalist, this guy.

Nuthin says "dude is legit!" like an endorsement from OJ, yeah, that OJ.

O.J. Simpson on Sunday released a video suggesting that Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy is “onto something” but said he should “untie” himself from some in the party, floating the idea that he could run alongside fellow candidate Nikki Haley.

“Just like the debates, the Republican debates, I said, ‘Hey, this guy’s onto something,’” Simpson said of Ramaswamy’s performance at the first GOP presidential debate last week and an appearance on NBC News’s “Meet the Press” over the weekend. “Then he’ll say something else, oh my god. I attribute it to his youth.”

The disgraced former running back said he has “a little problem” with Ramaswamy’s foreign affairs positions, but chalked it up to the candidate’s youth and lauded his “fresh” perspectives. He said one way to fill that gap in foreign experience was to consider fellow GOP candidate Nikki Haley, a former ambassador, as a running mate which Simpson said would give Ramaswamy “a chance.”

That settles it, right?

[japhy]

Fuck Yeah! OJ is a KING MAKER!

He has his finger on the pulse of the republican primary participants.

Three questions probably no one on here will answer but I am curious about right now.

1. Can/will someone please explain to me why someone who DIDN'T vote for Trump in 2016 and 2020 would vote for Ramaswamy in their state's Republican "primary"?

2. Can/will someone please explain to me why someone who DID vote for Trump in 2016 and 2020 would vote for Ramaswamy in their state's Republican "primary"?

3. Are there two other candidates that are as similar as Trump and Ramaswamy are to each other?

P.S.

How did Vivek acquire his money? Essentially, it involves Vivek acquiring a failed pharmaceutical drug that went through 4 unsuccessful trials that he would market as an Alzheimer's breakthrough. He put his mom, a doctor, on the research team and suddenly, the drug showed remarkable improvement (Ahem). The drug was rebranded, and his company took in millions. Yet before the phase 3 trials began, Vivek and his family emptied their shares.

The saga involves manipulated data, a company based in Bermuda, destroyed lives and alleged insider training knowledge.

Cool. When I think of Biden, I think of Burisma. Then I think about all of the money that they paid him and they paid Hunter and that we’re paying Ukraine, and I feel sick to my stomach. And that’s the one we’re aware of.

Gosh sakes, no. Is there anyone out there who made tons of money honestly? It’d be cool if we could set up our system so you could become POTUS without being either a) independently wealthy or b) owned by people who fit category a.

eliminate lobbies and you start to curb that problem.

Yes. You are the farthest left person here but you consume only right wing media. It produces a really weird result.

Agreed. Great starting point.

I think the word you’re looking for is pragmatist. I’m interested in what works, even if I don’t much like how the sausage is made.
