Jason Gilbert pointed out that the principle reason to watch the debates was schadenfreude and my wife agreed. It was pretty terrible.

Now I want to say this in a tone of voice thenewgreen can hear: Ramaswamy is a soulless huckster opportunist who is utterly devoid of principle, ethics or empathy. He is the embodiment of everything that is wrong with the tech industry, everything that is wrong with hustle culture, and everything that is wrong with venture capital, everything that is wrong with entrepreneurship and everything that is wrong with mutherfucking LinkedIn. Donald Trump is a low-achieving silver-spoon racist blowhard who has farted his way to every successful position he has ever held but Ramaswamy? That specious little dipshit took one look at the past seven years and went "hey I could do that" and DID.

He is a LOATHSOME human being who deliberately aped demagoguery and dysfunction because he wants nothing more than to be on the Republican ticket as VP. He is Stephen Miller if Stephen Miller were doing it for clout. He is opportunism personified, an actuarial table in slacks, the negative space left in a human husk once all morality or guidance have been blasted away by pure, naked greed.

He's a shoo-in for Trump's VP because he went "hey racists, here's some racism." "Hey bigots, here's some bigotry." "What's that? You want some wonkish made up bullshit numbers to feel better about the prejudices you know you shouldn't have? Here's something straight from my ass, you're welcome!" "The Base" knows that Trump shoots from the hip; because their accelerationist nephew liked this guy's made-up bullshit policy about something he knows fuckall about, they now think Trump's got a "policy guy" to come up with numbers to own the libs.

Vivek Ramaswamy is walking leprosy because he fucking knows better and he doesn't fucking care.

“I think it is legitimate to say how many police, how many federal agents, were on the planes that hit the Twin Towers. Maybe the answer is zero. It probably is zero for all I know, right? I have no reason to think it was anything other than zero,” Ramaswamy said. “But if we’re doing a comprehensive assessment of what happened on 9/11, we have a 9/11 Commission, absolutely that should be an answer the public knows the answer to.”

Hear it in Trump's voice. Give it Trump's cadence. This loathsome little turd has a BA from Harvard and a JD from Yale and he's fuckin' whatabouting the Twin Fucking Towers. Why? To get those sweet, sweet QAnon votes.

Kill it with fire.

Slowly.
