Don’t know much at all about him, not giving three whoops in Hell about the farcical 2024 Presidential “election” contest, but I gotta say: every time I read another attempted GOTCHA! story quoting the guy he leaves me nodding along in complete agreement.
In a fiery exchange last month, CNN anchorwoman Abby Phillip told GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy that there was “no evidence” to support his claim that federal agents abetted protesters at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
Ramaswamy shot back that the FBI conspicuously has never denied that law enforcement agents were on duty in the crowd. He argued that federal officials have repeatedly “lied” to the American people about not only that investigation but one that has gotten much less attention: the alleged failed plot to kidnap and kill Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan in 2020.
“It was entrapment,” Ramaswamy said. “FBI agents putting them up to a kidnapping plot that we were told was true but wasn’t.”
His zeroing in on the Michigan case highlighted an uncharacteristic development in contemporary politics, where progressives vigorously defend law enforcement power while conservatives view it with deep suspicion. Further, Ramaswamy’s linking of Jan. 6 and the Whitmer plot resonated with many on the right who want similarities between the two episodes exposed to the general public, especially the FBI’s reliance on informants and other paid operatives.
Our Gal Jules then dons the wet-suit, snorkel mask, and fins for a deep dive into the Superstate Stasi’s phonus-balonus Whitler “kidnapping” piss-puddle in her usual impeccably-thorough fashion.
As for Ramaswamy, although I gravely doubt his ability to A) get “elected,” and B) get anything useful accomplished even if he did, still, his heart sure seems to be in the right place at least, and God bless him for it. He’s not afraid to speak bluntly about topics the rest of the Vichy GOPe field shies away from like startled mustangs; better, he seems to be constitutionally incapable of taking a second’s worth of shit from slime-encrusted “journalist” bubbleheads, understanding as he obviously does that they’re going to mangle and/or manipulate whatever he says to promote the Press-Gaggle Panic O’ The Week© anyway.
Best of all, Vivek unblenchingly expounds on things you really don’t hear mentioned by anyone else, on either side—GOOD things, IMPORTANT things that not so long ago were universally-accepted American first principles that have become so objectionable nowadays they get any unevolved naif who so much as moots them for discussion—in any tone other than either horrified disapproval or snickering, supercilious disdain at the absurd ideas these subnormal provincials are willing to swallow—hysterically denounced as a “dangerous” “radical” “extremist” seeking to overthrow Our Sacred Democracy in favor of a dystopian-nightmare dictatorship.
Following his ritual denunciation, our witless knuckledragger will be Doxxed, Cancelled, ruined personally, socially, and financially, exiled from Polite Society, busted down to the lowly rank of Permanent Pariah—effectively, a sentence of life without possibility of either parole or pardon summarily handed down not just to him but his family along with him.
As if it wasn’t a dictatorship already, the contemptible cretins. But since FederalGovCo is a dictatorship conceived, installed, and run entirely by them, well hey, it’s okay, I guess. There are two distinct flavors of dictatorship, apparently. Given how fond shitlibs are of endlessly reminding one and all that they’re the Good People and all who dare to cherish divergent opinions assuredly are not, the dichotomy of dictatorship is as follows: Theirs=GOOD. Ours=BAD. According to them, this is a vitally crucially vital distinction to make.
Is it any wonder, then, that young Vivek hasn’t the slightest chance of becoming President in Amerika v2.0?

I wish it were so, that Vivek is what he appears as currently. However, not very long ago it was all upside down –
Starter:
Vivek – Soros family foundation
Law school scholarship

He then lied about the Soros scholarship, Vivek – Soros family foundation
Law school scholarship
“Vivek Ramaswamy didn’t tell the truth about the real reason he took money from the family of George Soros.
“After criticism for receiving a $90,000 grant from the Paul & Daisy Soros Fellowship to attend Yale Law School, Ramaswamy claimed that he did so only because he “didn’t have the money” pay for it.
But in 2011, the same year he started Yale, Ramaswamy reported he made $2.2 million in income, according to his tax returns reviewed by Fox News.
“His returns also show for the three years before 2011 he made over $1.1 million income working as a hedge fund analyst.

Next:
He supported TPP, aligning with Mitch McConnell
Previously on J6 – “What Trump did last week was wrong. Downright abhorrent. Plain and simple. I’ve said it before and did so in my piece,” Ramaswamy tweeted on Jan. 12, 2021.

On the 2020 election – “I have personally not seen evidence of widespread voter fraud of the kind that you usually get with the stolen election narrative”

Did he suddenly wake up? Possible. Remember this, Vivek owns a company in the mRNA Covid-19 vaccine industry. His company, Genevant, supplies lipid nanoparticles to a company that is developing the next generation of Covid-19 vaccine.
Really? Didn’t know any of that, it’s kinda disappointing. At this point, it seems as if there isn’t ANYONE reliable, trustworthy, or untainted in American politics. Not that that ought to come as any big surprise, I guess. These days, Politician=Scoundrel, no exceptions to the rule.
I think, and may be proven wrong, that in this case the dude just woke up to the truth. He is causing harm to the deep state’s DeSantis replacement, Haley, so it seems unlikely he is in their grip. OTOH, these F’ing bastards play the long game and this may just be the credential establish phase.
At this point in time there is only one person so thoroughly vetted we know he’s the real thing. I don’t know who takes up the mantle but I sure wish they would show up soon. They are out there, of that I’m sure. I think, again could be wrong, that SD’s Noem may be one. There is some imperfection as there is with anyone, but she’s one of the women that look good to me. Trump has a difficult choice to make. It is very hard to know the heart of these people.
The “street cred” Establishment phase.
We’ve all seen it.
They aren’t going to pull off another W Bush bait and switch so easily on people like me any more.
Intelligent people learn.
I’m pretty sure Ramalamadingdong’s piss-poor chances have a lot more to do with him polling in the single digits than anything he says or does (which saying and doing is what has him polling in the single digits).
Last reputable check I saw was:
Trump …………………………………………………………..62%
Everyone Else in the GOPe combined……… 38%
Interesting times.
You have to admit that he is articulate and unflappable, and able to cut through the lefty bullshit with a machete or scalpel as required:

What worries me most about that remark is flashing back to Emperor (then Senator) Poopypants’ remarks eerily similar to yours about what a “clean and articulate black man” Obozo was, burped out in 2008, when Poopypants had an IQ possibly still above 50.

“What worries me most about that remark…”
One is a lie, one is truthful. I wouldn’t get too worried.
