Would like to remind everyone about this again btw The blowback from the entire Vivek Situation can genuinely be immensely important due to how critical Vance's own influence was in clearing the path for him in Ohio. This would be enough to lose "presumptive 2028 nom" status.

His son actually is named after Vivek Ramaswamy btw He, Usha, and Vivek were all college friends. This literally sounds like slander I'm making up to insinuate something, but it's literally true.

And that's why workplace diversity is important. Without a non-sociopath on the team, nobody was there to understand the horrific nature of what they were doing.

Ohio literally has drive-through liquor stores colloquially known as “beer barns”. Saying “this candidate used to drink a lot” just confirms their authentic Ohioness

For a while all they had was "Amy drinks" and it's like "yeah, welcome to Ohio". Vivek ain't a real one.

The yearning of the middle class Republican is that being Republican is supposed to be the sign that he is respectable and has “made it”, so when he is loathed by others, even by the liberals he claims to hate, he feels like a social contract has been betrayed

It's so funny that these professional class conservatives in big cities viscerally loathe liberals but still want into their left-wing social circles like hanging out with apolitical and right-wing people is an option, you don't have to socialize with people you hate

Officially, they deny it. But I strongly suspect that they’re calling the IBX “light rail” instead of integrating it into the subway so they can negotiate fresh union contracts and either (1) automate it, or (2) escape at least *some* of the concessions they’ve given TWU 100.

Automating the IBX will ensure it can run faster, handle more riders, at a lower cost: report amny.com/news/automating-ibx…

Professor: do you think Newsom is going to run for president? Me: yes. But he thinks he has more potential than he actually does Professor: kind of like one of my graduate students

This is why the best ideas come from transplants. While “native” NYers complain about every minuscule change or their dumb historic hotdog shop closing.

The average New Yorker is actually extremely provincial. Most have never left the state. Few have even left the city. Many have never strayed beyond their burough and there's a lot who never leave their block! Yet they all imagine themselves to be so worldly...

Parents are going to blame their kids becoming trans on Republican ads that talk non-stop about becoming trans.

@AriDrennen8h
There’s a new backlash forming: parents mad at Republicans for exposing their kids to the concept of transitioning through constant advertising

Ohio politics blogger and Shrek penis pic texter guesses that long-time Vance advisor and former DHS Tricia's husband/ Kristi Noem $200M horseback ad-maker were the two masterminds of the Vivek Amy Acton molestation mother ad. (I just had to write that sentence because it will never again be possible to string those words together. Let me have hobbies.)

The fact that the number of humanities dissertations tripled after 1990 WHILE the close in tenure track faculty positions and adjunctification was well in its way is nothing less than criminal. Two entire generations lost wasted on academic ambitions that would never happen
Steve McGuire
@sfmcguire7916h
🧵The number of humanities dissertations produced annually has declined by almost half, according to a new analysis. The same report shows that language related to power and identity surged while treatments of “Western,” “European,” and “American” turned increasingly negative.

I really don't think there's an explanation for this except that Ramaswamy knows that MAGA voters and their pastors will feel a reflexive sense that what a man wants to do to a little girl in the privacy of his home is no one's business but his.

For the people screaming that Vivek had nothing to do with the ad: Not only is he defending it, but he’s pouring *$4 million* into it. Weaponizing a deadbeat mother whose husband was credibly accused of raping her own daughter…to own the libs, or something. Disgusting behavior.

Even people who ostensibly know better are defending Vivek here. Does Ben have some deep need for a tax cut in Ohio or something?

Vivek Ramaswamy’s ad is apparently unprecedented. It would be just awful to activate all the members of a politician’s family to attack them…as the Democrats did with every member of RFK’s family. youtube.com/watch?v=ww9fTNrW…

Did Vivek Ramaswamy Really Cross a Line?

The reason no one likes people who were members of the high school debate club is that they have repulsive personalities from engaging in this kind of low-rent sophistry and bullshittery.

Vance: "And now the media and the Democrats in the state of Ohio are obsessed because, guess what? Vivek Ramaswamy had the audacity to run a TV commercial which calls it out like it is and calls Amy Acton a liar."

I can't believe the Groypers are actually sticking with Acton Their hatred of Indians is overriding their love of child molestation

Amy Acton’s mother said: “Bud had a daughter from a previous marriage that had earlier made similar unfounded claims.” She didn’t just call Amy a liar. She called the abuser’s previous victim a liar too. 🤡
