    Ramaswamy Says GOP ‘Selective Moral Outrage' on Israel Driven By Money, Lobbying Groups

    Vivek Ramaswamy criticized Republicans for their "selective moral outrage" at the mass terrorist attacks in Israel, and argued that politicians calling for a stronger military response against Hamas and Iran are driven by donor money.

    The Republican presidential candidate questioned why his GOP opponents are not expressing similar outrage about the conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan, and accused them of "ignoring the interests of the U.S. right here at home." Specifically, Ramaswamy, in an interview with Tucker Carlson, equated the influx of fentanyl over the southern border—a "genocide," in Carlson's estimation—with Hamas's attack against Israel.

    "The selective nature of ignoring certain other conflicts—even more importantly, ignoring the interests of the U.S. right here at home—is what irritates the heck out of me," Ramaswamy told Carlson.

    Of course Tony would throw race into anything he despises hearing.

    Why discuss something intelligently when you can scream racist and reap the resounding echo of approval from all your buds?

    There is a little deception going on here. We are not "ignoring the interests of the U.S. right here at home..." as the "irritated" Ramaswamy implies --- mass shootings, fentanyl, abortion, immigration, book banning, schools, dilapidated infrastructure, drug prices, corruption, etc. We've made progress, but we aren't getting much done because our government has been turned off by a small group of rabid crazies in the House, and the House GOP is having trouble figuring out how to turn it back on.

    In the meantime, Ramaswamy is busy running for V.P. To achieve his goal, at the minimum, he's got to get Trump to select him --- a lot of dick sucking is headed Trump's way --- and then he has to get him re-elected so he can pardon Trump after he resigns in the waning hours of his second presidency. I'm having trouble seeing how putting "Mr. Chaos" back in the White House is going to be helpful. What are we to gain from four years of chaos and a revolving door cabinet while Trump sucks at the public teat, tries to privatize the armed forces, social security, and the IRS*, tries to buy Greenland again, and tries to use the FBI, DOJ and IRS to heap retribution on his enemies, all before stepping down?

    _____________________
    *This may sound preposterous to reasonable people, but, last time around, Trump's campaign and policy structure was nearly a carbon copy of Reagan's, right down to tax cuts for the wealthy, the monstrous deficits and the slogan, "Make America Great Again." The only thing original to Trump was non-stop lying, trying to buy Greenland and getting himself impeached twice. (Reagan didn't lie, he just was a sucker for some very bad ideas, like trickle down economics, that he skillfully sold to the American public. Reagan wanted to privatize everything, and he might have had his administration been able to figure out how to do it. There was serious talk about contracting out the National Parks and letting Corporations run them. Coca Cola would run Yellowstone, etc. Among Reagan's many privatization "successes" were passport issuance and prisons!!! This was based on Reagan's belief that "government is not the solution, it's the problem". Thanks to Reagan it's now expensive, and takes 3 months to get a passport, whereas before Reagan it was cheap and took about three weeks. Reagan doubled the prison population in just 8 years! (apparently he was channeling Putin before Putin was Putin.) https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/analysis-opinion/history-mass-incarceration.

    Vivek is a billionaire, does not want a vice presidency or any cabinet position.
    Only billionaires should run for President, who else could afford to fight DOJ Lawfare.
    Military Industrial Complex is rooted in Maga country.
    If you want less wars help Maga primary those NeoCons out of office.
    The whole political class reminds me of looters smashing and grabbing.

    Piers Morgan Confronts Vivek Ramaswamy on ‘Medieval Barbarism’ of His Proposal to Put Hamas Heads on Spikes
    https://www.mediaite.com/news/piers...of-his-proposal-to-put-hamas-heads-on-spikes/

    Piers Morgan confronted Vivek Ramaswamy on the “medieval barbarism” of his proposal for how to deal with Hamas after its terror attack on Israel.

    In a speech before the Republican Jewish Coalition in Las Vegas, the aspiring 2024 presidential candidate said he “would love nothing more than for the IDF to put the heads of the top 100 Hamas leaders on stakes and line them up on the Israel-Gaza border as a sign that October 7, 2023, will never happen again.

    Morgan asked Ramaswamy about those comments in an interview that will air on TalkTV show Piers Morgan Uncensored. In a preview of the interview released on X, once Twitter, Morgan said: “That’s not diplomacy. That’s gonna be pouring a bucket of fuel onto a raging fire.”

    Oh, come on. I know that the average Joe is an idiot, but do you really expect us to fall for this crap? You weren't doing anything when the spigot was on full blast, and now you're saying you just need the money to be turned on so you can continue your crusade?

    What a complete joke.
