> If Ramaswamy was a Dungeons and Dragons character, his “smarm” and “dickishness” characteristics would be maxed out, and he would vanquish foes by being such a prick that potential opponents would opt out of fighting him, choosing instead to walk away muttering “I just fucking can’t with this guy.”

So a bard.

This is great, but I wish you would hold the Democratic wannabees to the same, or, in fact, any standard.

On your last podcast, you seemed confused as to why the proles refused to believe the "Economy is getting better" narrative. Let me clue you in: The economy is getting better... for members of the Professional Managerial Class. For those of us belonging to the "Expendable Worker" set? Not so much.

Maybe talk to somebody who slept in their car while driving Uber and bathes using the plastic portable sinks in the SFO driver waiting area or ask a fast food worker how it felt to make $15/hr while the virtue-signaling PMC collected $1000 weekly to stay only to spend their time demanding that public schools in poor areas shut down while sending their kids to the nice private schools that stayed open.

Again, I love your stuff, and I'll be a little sad when you put some of this behind a paywall because I enjoy the smug sense of satisfaction I get from paying simply because work of this quality demands it.

Not sure if you're right, but I hate it when Substack comments sections get too fawning, thus the ❤️

Thank you for performing the valuable service of allowing me to drink wine and watch actually entertaining reality TV instead of that garbage.

Say what you will about Tim Scott (actually, you just did), but oh! how I long for boring these days.

When Vivek Ramaswamy said that Zelenskyy openly celebrated a Nazi he wasn’t lying. He just failed to include Justin Trudeau and the rest of the Canadian parliament.

Last September Zelenskyy spoke in front of the Canadian House of Commons. In attendance was a 98-year-old Ukrainian World War 2 veteran. He received a standing ovation from Everton in attendance. House speaker Anthony Rota announced, “We have here in the chamber today a Ukrainian-Canadian veteran from the Second World War who fought for Ukrainian independence against the Russians.”

What is amazing is that nobody said to themselves, “whose side was Russia on in World War 2?”

Yaroslav Hunka was a soldier in the 14th Waffen Grenadier Division.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Justin Trudeau, and the Canadian House of Commons gave a standing ovation to a LITERAL NAZI!

Insightful recap! Thanks for watching so I don’t have to. It should be noted that I wouldn’t watch even if you didn’t either. This is the most I’ve focused on the debates since, well, ever.

President Ramaswamy…can you imagine?

Why should I read this when I can wait for the audio to come out? The only reason is it's a lot faster and that's not nothing. But it's definitely not as funny. You don't get asides that may crop up. And most importantly, you don't get to hear all about the copyright expired song. So I am going with the audio.

I will admit, though, I did a search for "scum" and read that portion. Can't wait to hear it.
