I'm getting more impressed with this kid

Vivek Ramaswamy is young but seems to have more common sense that all other politicians combined.

Smart, articulate and quick on his feet.

And he’s 100 percent right about Jan 6th. Now this thread isn’t about Jan 6th, it’s about Ramaswamy.

He does have future IMO.

I can agree with that, to a point. Protest and civil disobedience are long accepted tactics for those that feel they have no voice.

I can’t go with him once we get to the basis for this protest: a cynical, false, and sustained campaign alleging the election was stolen.

To summarize: I support protesting, but if your protest insists that the sky is green, I can’t support you.

That was good.

I think he nailed it.

He does sound good for the most part. No chance this time but maybe in the future.

He is 3rd in some polls even now.

I liked “When you tell them they can’t talk, they scream” or however he said it.

And if you don’t allow em to scream they start smashing stuff…or something to that effect.

Here is video of what we discuss about schools and diversity in another thread etc.

I’ve started looking into him, not sure why but this guy thinks lot like me but only smarter, better and lot more articulate etc.

Clearly he thinks thing thought, challenging himself and building a solid foundation for which to spring those thoughts.

I have heard a few interviews with him, I like most of what I hear. There will never be a candidate that one agrees with every single thing they say. The mainstream candidates are all saying essentially the same thing, Trump is in a class of his own.

I have no clue who I am voting for in the primary, other than not Trump. If we get a Biden vs. Trump rematch it will be 3rd party yet again. Tired of voting against a candidate instead of for one.

Ah, here’s the one I was waiting for!

Wait? Plagiarism?

???

No source cited.

Ah. I didn’t see a post so was not sure what was going on. I hadn’t heard anything on this kind of claim before re: Vivek. I have been following reports on him. He seems like someone i could put on my consider list for sure. Not sure, absent some calamity with the front runners, he can make it happen this cycle. Too bad IMHO.

Vivek Ramaswamy
@VivekGRamaswamy
Ahead of FBI Director Christopher Wray’s testimony tomorrow before the House Judiciary Committee, I’m calling on Committee members to ask Wray the following 15 questions & hold him accountable:

  1. If U.S. voters in 2024 elect a U.S. President who seeks to shut down the FBI, what is your recommended plan to help execute on this policy directive in an orderly manner?

  2. John Durham issued a lengthy report in May accusing the FBI of acting negligently in opening the Trump-Russia investigation in 2016 based on insufficient information. As head of the Bureau, after having read and reflected on Mr. Durham’s report, what steps will the Bureau take to prevent baseless politicized investigations like that which impeded President Trump’s first term in office?

  3. In 2020, you claimed ANTIFA was an “ideology, not an organization.” Do you still believe that? If yes, who or what exactly do you believe destroyed downtown Portland, firebombed businesses, and attacked the city courthouse for months?

  4. Regarding the events of January 6 at the Capitol, there have been multiple reports suggesting that undercover FBI agents were involved in fomenting protesters. Can you clarify the FBI’s precise role in this situation and provide explanation of the facts?

  5. Considering cases like the Gretchen Whitmer “kidnapping plot,” do you think the FBI does a responsible job of handling informants and undercover agents? Do you believe FBI-led entrapment is and should be unlawful?

  6. Will you share the Jeffrey Epstein client list with the public?

  7. Will you investigate members of Congress who used a taxpayer slush fund for hush money to hide sexual assault allegations?

  8. What is your opinion about the Department of Justice labeling concerned parents at school board meetings as “domestic terrorists?” Do you share this view?

  9. The unprecedented raid of former President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence raised serious public concerns about the political persecution of the current president’s chief political opponent. What alternatives did you evaluate before sending FBI agents to raid the residence of a former U.S. President?

  10. The FBI’s handling of investigations into Hunter Biden’s foreign business deals and Joe Biden’s involvement in these deals leave many unanswered questions about the Bureau’s decisions. Why do you believe that a settlement between Hunter Biden and the U.S. Department of Justice for a 10+ year-old offense was announced only within a couple of weeks following the federal indictment of the 45th U.S. President?

  11. Why did the FBI refuse to cooperate with Congress with respect to oversight inquiries pertaining to then-Vice President Joe Biden’s alleged involvement in a $5 million bribery scheme with a Ukrainian company?

  12. Is the FBI investigating Gen. Mark Milley for his supposed back-channel discussions with the Communist Chinese government shortly after the 2020 U.S. Presidential election?

  13. How many FBI agents were fired last year? How many should have been fired?

  14. Your predecessor James Comey received a multimillion-dollar book deal and charges six-figure speaking fees. Do you believe this is appropriate behavior for the former Director of the FBI?

  15. Do you believe it is appropriate for the FBI to celebrate the legacy of J. Edgar Hoover, the namesake of the building in which the FBI is currently headquartered?

And? What’s your complaint?

All great questions.

What is wrong with the questions? Where is the conspiracy?

No complaint…I originally commented, that it does not surprise me this guy is liked by those on the far right/conspiracy portion of the Republican party. I had seen that tweet elsewhere…and decided to share it. He will be popular in the RW world…not so much elsewhere.

Nothing wrong with the questions. he knows what he is doing…and will probably be successful and popular in the RW world.

Many of the questions, are considered to be RW hypothetical conspiracies by many people.

It is ok to disagree, right?
