Climate criminal. Sentence him to a decade of litter removal, and bar him from holding office or working in any advisory or leadership roles.

Did you read the article, it’s even worse, he’s renting the plane from himself
Ohio takes no time to navigate, but Vivek can't be bothered to actually be around those poor people.
"Walking? Knocking on doors? Talking to voters, especially in THOSE neighborhoods? No thank you."
Leasing from a company he owns.
“If he is basically fronting money to rent a plane from himself, and then if he does not forgive the loans but reimburses himself, he’ll essentially be using donor funds to pay himself,” said Jordan Libowitz, vice president in communications for the nonprofit watchdog Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington.
Awesome.
I'm going to guess: he's running as a Republican.
Checks article
Not surprised in the least.
Why is he doing campaign events in Utah, if he's running for governor in Ohio?
The worst thing for his campaign is voters hearing him speak, campaigning in utah is in his best interest.
He got booed off the stage by college students after off-putting remarks infuriated what should have been a friendly crowd. And when the crowd turned on him, he tucked tail and left.
The Republican candidate for governor took the stage to boos – a bad sign − and came off as a privileged know-it-all who had no patience for the young crowd.
Then, he made matters worse when he said, “The truth of the matter is, you know, no matter what happens in whichever direction we go, people in my generation have already made it,” Ramaswamy said. “We’re gonna be fine. It’s gonna be your generation…that pays the price.”
Ramaswamy said “peace out” and abruptly walked off the stage as he was serenaded with boos and derision.
This is excellent. Thanks for the link.
Yeah that sounds right. He did the same shit in 2016 and 2020, because he apparently can't stop shoving his entire fucking foot in his mouth the second he opens it on a hot mic.
You know, I like Ramaswamy. I like seeing him speak. He's such a fucking buffoon. An absolute fool of a man. Absolutely terrible at everything he does. It's a marvel to behold, like a traincrash you can't look away from. Keep spending up those funds buddy. You got this.
This is the same guy that took a leak while on a hot mic during an Alex Jones/Elon Musk/Andrew Tate livestream.
The sound of splashing liquid interrupted Jones, who was in the middle of a rant about what he called a “corporate world government whose aim is depopulation.”
“Someone’s got their thing open peeing! Someone’s got their phone open in the bathroom,” Jones yelled to an audience of tens of thousands of listeners. The livestream’s host, social media influencer Mario Nawfal, tried to alert Ramaswamy to what was happening.
“That’s your phone, Vivek. I’m not able to mute you. Vivek?”
The embarrassing moment prompted laughter from Musk and others on the call.
“Well I hope you feel better now,” a giggling Musk said.
“I feel great, thank you. Sorry about that, guys,” Ramaswamy said.
What an absolute fucking dolt.
Apologies for the source, but the NY Post is great for bottom-scraping trash, and this was a Jones-Musk-Tate mutual admiration event complete with live piss performance. Not sure how much more room for "lower" there is in a print publication.
I'm not part of the market for leasing private jets. Is that a lot of trips? Or like... 1?
I mean it doesn't matter to me in any way but is that like... 1 trip or 10 trips or 50 trips?
Doesn't matter, because he's leasing it from a company he controls. Assuming he decides to forgive the loan (which he will), he's effectively just giving his company $700k in election funds scot-free.
He looks like a south park character from Canada
I don't care how much it cost.
How much is that in nitrogen oxides, carbon dioxide, and other greenhouse gasses in carbon dioxide equivalents, and what is that in comparison to the average US American, average earth human, and the required level to avoid climate catastrophe?
Ohio is chock full of speed traps, though, he might be saving money this way
News to me. I've only been stuck here for 30 years. Every state has speed traps. If you drive back roads anywhere, you're gonna see them, I can't say that Ohio is worse than anywhere else.
That's MUCH BETTER then someone with the EXACT SAME POLICIES but with a D by their Name!
-LITERALLY Republican Voters!
