    He has made his billion $$$ fortune by being the finance guy for an mRNA company with 0 products that is losing $1,000,000,000 per year.
    How is he in any way qualified for the job of president or VP or any high level position?
    Is the only qualification for president now that somebody be able to publicly rant in a calculated and somewhat intelligible manner?

    "Vote Vivek to save Trump!"
    Really?
    How many Covid boosters did it take to get you to believe this makes sense?

    Vivek is cunning, practiced, polished and measured; what office is he really running for?
    He knows he can't win by running to the right of Trump; not possible to bring enough mainstream republican and independents on board to be able to win either in the primary or general election with that platform.
    It was possible he was running for Trump's VP or a cabinet position, until he shattered that possibility with his "Vote Vivek, save Trump" gambit.

    If he really wanted to help Trump, he would have pulled out before the Iowa Caucus.
    The man knows how to talk and he could have made a big impact by continuing to talk on behalf of Trump.
    By staying in, he is splitting the populist vote from Trump, which can only benefit establishment candidates, like Nikki Haley; Vivek is smart enough to know this.
    It also could lead to a prolonged Republican primary process, which does not benefit Trump.
    He is an opportunist running for a position in the new Uniparty administration as the token controlled opposition "anti-woke" populist representative; he doesn't care if he works for Biden, Haley, Blinken or Soros.

    That is a very compressive description of the Disciple of Rama, but you left out he is a supporter of Indian Prime minister Nerandera Modi a member of the Indian BJP a right wing Hindu nationalist party. Ramaswarmy wants it appears is an American equivalent of the BJP (Bharatiya Janata Party). However instead of using the Hindu minority in the US, he would attempt to use the Christian right nationalists to achieve this. This is very interesting considering that he is a Hindu, whereas Modi also a Hindu in India wants a Hindu caliphate with Christian and western influences left by the British removed, that is why Modi wants a new name for India (Bharat), so perhaps Appalachia would more in keeping with the Indian heritage of the US, I mean if you are going allow a someone of an Indian background to run your country why not rename it if you really want to decolonize the US.

    Hah! and endorsing Trump too.

    I love seeing so many people be wrong.

    Honestly it seems a good move, he only got 7% so by swiftly exiting he looks pretty good and is set for another run. He got a lot of spotlight and didn't really have the massive scrutiny that dregs up dirt.

    I told Chat GTP to do this: "write a positive tweet in the style of donald trump about vivek ramasway dropping out ending with SAD!"

    it said this

    "Vivek Ramasway has made the choice to step back – a decision deserving of respect. Everyone's journey is filled with twists and turns. Wishing him the best in his future endeavors. Our great nation is resilient, and new leaders will rise. Exciting times ahead! #VivekRamasway #PositiveFuture SAD!"


    Allllls that left is for trump to make the call to him to be veep.

    If freedom of speech is still alive, you should be put off by some of the things you read here.

    David Roberts' heart is in the right place.
    I only wish his mind would ask how he is upholding his constitutional oath if he won't fully defend its very First Amendment; free speech must not be restricted in any way.

    Jovan is a good contributor, because many of his posts reflect his objective thoughts; he may not always be right, but I can learn from what he says and he seems to learn from what others say.

    Through our collective analysis we were right about many of these things, even when they were uncomfortable to say:
    -We got Covid right before everyone, except Alex Jones.
    -We got the Covid vaccine right, even though it pissed off several people here at the time.
    -We were right about voter fraud in 2020 and the misconduct of the FBI.
    -We knew illegal immigration was being intentionally accelerated in Western countries, although some were in denial or claimed it was explainable by incompetence.
    -We knew inflation was not transitory as Biden was telling us.
    -We knew Russia was not our enemy, when claims of "Russian Disinformation" still turned the neocon's heads.
    -We predicted the Russian war before it happened and quickly came to the conclusion Ukraine could not win
    -We got Ron Desantis right from the start; he may be a good fit for Florida, for now, but he is certainly not fit for higher office.

    Did we have a big miss on anything?
    Quality and number of posts from contributors was higher when people were locked down with nothing to do and this was one of the only places willing to host uncomfortable discourse.
    While the information war is still a high priority, most people are trying to be more active in the real world.
    I don’t agree with some of that, particularly Russia being our ally, neither is Ukraine but I don’t see how Russia is anything close to an ally to American citizens. And Desantis is better than trump on literally every issue

    He was never a viable candidate. Mostly a vanity effort on his part. We need to rally behind Trump- warts and all.

    Sounds like you got this one figured out, wal.

    Trump's death-ray was never focused on him until the very last minute, so he probably figured it would be best to get out of its way and live to fight another day. He also maintains the perception that he respected and deferred to Trump.

    One thing I suspect to come out of this is that all the talking heads are going to push the message, "Trumpism doesn't work with anyone but Trump, and it is therefore foolish for anyone else to try it", in an attempt to make sure Republicans go back to doing what they do best: playing as the Washington Generals of American politics.

    --Trump, DeSantis, Haley all leading Biden in new poll.

    It seems insane to think they are really still going to run Biden. But there is one reason they might genuinely want to, which is to utterly humiliate Trump and the American remnant.

    --Dead Voters’ Names Discovered on Vivek Ramaswamy’s Nomination Papers

    --‘This Has Been Going on for Years.’ Inside Boeing’s Manufacturing Mess.

    A Boeing aerospace engineer presented a controversial white paper in 2001 at an internal technical symposium. The engineer, John Hart-Smith, warned colleagues of the risks of the subcontracting strategy, especially if Boeing outsourced too much work and didn’t provide sufficient on-site quality and technical support to its suppliers.

    “The performance of the prime manufacturer can never exceed the capabilities of the least proficient of the suppliers,” Hart-Smith wrote. “These costs do not vanish merely because the work itself is out-of-sight.”
    Financialization uber alles. The victorious Dodge Brothers over the vanquished Henry Ford.

    --At least 33 Canadian churches have burned to the ground since May 2021, and so far, 24 are confirmed arsons.

    --Neoclowns Seek Round 3 - Vox Day

    The more I stew on it, the more I suspect the "Cold War" was 100% Fake and Gay. There was always open dialogue and a sense of respect. With Putin there is literally none. When Clown World has an actual enemy, the hatred becomes wildly pathological and resembles the fury of a woman scorned. Everything becomes contradictory and ridiculous.
