So that's what his little ass face looks like! Honestly I expected him to be balder, but I'll just check back in 48 hours or so.

Why is it that every time I see the "genius" candidate's name, my brain reads it as "Vivek Ramalamadingdong"?

I've seen "Kamalamadingdong" for years and years on the internet. Let's try harder than the unfunny right wingers.

(NewsNation) — Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy says he practices Hinduism but shares the “same values” as Christians. Aug 15, 2023

This is what is going to keep the guy from getting any where in the campaign. Sure the maga crowd will like his message but once they find out he is not a christian they will forget about him.

If he goes on much longer with weird comments about Arabs, he's going to convince people he's a Hindu Arab, to his peril. Also, I'm not getting the three (not four) branches of government, what am I missing?

I don't know, I don't get that comment either. Maybe he thinks the "deep state" is that fourth branch? I don't know.

What would that fourth branch of government be?

Knowing Republicans, they probably think the DOJ is completely separate and runs without oversight or authorization.

'He told [reporter John Hendrickson] he doesn’t believe his race will negatively affect his electability in 2024. He said that among most GOP voters, the No. 1 political problem is “not, like, Arabs right now.”'

So he is sure he will be successful in spite of his race because the people likely to support him are racist and bigoted against new targets now? And this is the source of his confidence?

I get it. I really really do.

"Hammer Ramaswamy" has a certain euphonious quality to it.

Aw, Robin. Nothing about the lawsuits filed by former employees that they were pressured to violate federal security laws?

He's not really a legitimate Republican candidate without those little brushes with the law, now is he?

Libertarian walks into a bear, in other words.

Are they generating these techbro douches in a factory? Maybe that’s how he’d raise theGDP? Bring back tech bro douche manufacturing to the USA?
