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

      “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.

    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.

    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?

      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.
