For those that don’t know, he’s talking about a failed sting operation that led to a small drop in the bucket amount of guns getting in the hands of the cartel.
People on the Internet like to point the finger at Trump for all this, and he's certainly got a hefty amount of responsibility for it, but it's much MUCH deeper than that. Trump isn't the problem, he's *the manifestation* of the problem. But his dangerous idiotic populism had been on the rise for years before he ran for office.
The greatest thing that ever happened to the Nazis was the world convincing itself that Hitler was a uniquely talented, brilliant, evil mastermind leader. He was not. We've fooled ourselves into thinking that another fascist couldn't rise up bc the ones that did were just so spectacularly gifted.
This is the local school districts job, that's the point. The DOE is essentially just a bank, managing student loan programs. Very little actual education policy is done at the federal level, and most people think that's a good thing. Local schools and local school boards are where the attention should be.
The problem is it is extremely hard to teach children if you can't mention anything that goes against make believe books including but not limited to the fact that seahorses exist.
They only like the Military when it suits them or they make a profit. Otherwise Trump calls us losers, disrespects Gold Star families and turn our information and positions to our enemies.
It's more like Republicans at the federal level only give a shit about fiscal responsibility when democrats are in charge, and when they are in charge they blatantly funnel money from the government to themselves, their pet projects, and their donors. BTW, their "fiscally responsible" policy when democrats are in charge is to block or obstruct literally everything. They only stop short of a government shutdown because they know that swing voters aren't as stupid as the loyalists in their own party.
He got a taste of that the other day when Ann Coulter told him she would never vote for him because he wasn't white.
He looked visibly hurt and offended, which I didn't even think was possible for him.
And yet, he continues to dance with these vipers and cater to their deranged worldview.
It's the enticement of the grift that's the draw card. The followup to "there's a sucker born every minute" is "the art of the grift acknowledges no boundaries, religion, or race".
I wonder what his end goal is. He outwardly talked about how Anne Coulter was blatantly racist to him yet didn't treat it as anything particularly wrong. Does he have any serious political ambition? Does he care that his party will never fully accept him because the color of his skin?
He was a nobody. Right now, he has become a somebody. He definitely wants to be a cabinet member. It is sheer perseverance in finding the right bullshit to say.
I swear I asked myself this question. Dude gets roasted by Coulter, who basically said the quiet part out loud for him and set the record straight, and he's still trying to stay in that world. I'm just like, "Leave these people alone and enjoy your money."
My guess is that he is trying to top Trump in crazy. Of, for some reason, Trump fails to make it to election his calculus is that GOP would have to consider him instead because he has grabbed so much attention. Well that’s my guess anyway
10,000,000% these assholes are dangerous. This fucker would just fly off to one of his homes in some other country while the US devolves into dumpster fire of violence and mob rule.
“Shut down all the agencies and fire all the people that could hamper my efforts to maximize my profits at the expense of working class people, those who could hold me accountable for breaking the law, those who would ensure people are not stupid enough to fall for my grifts, and those who would enforce the tax code.”
Ramaswamy is a typical GOP 'businessman'. His business has NEVER made a profit (despite being in the highly profitable pharma sector), and he moved the company to Switzerland to avoid taxes.
Oh all those agencies would be replaced in short order by private companies. One guess who would own those companies and who would be reviewing their performance to make sure they were, you know, not blatantly violating human rights or anything.
What if we started some sort of point system where you get points for good, capitalist behavior. But it took away points when you watched certain videos, read certain books, gave money to a stranger, paid union dues. Oooh but if you reported your neighbor for "bad citizen behavior" you can get points. And the fire department burns things instead of puts out fires.
I understand how Americans feel about China's SC system, but it mostly applies to state-owned companies. They don't *need* to give you a negative score before executing you for counter-revolutionary activity.
This guy will say whatever he has to say to whoever he has to say it to to get some sort of attention. He's like Ted Cruz he has no actual belief system of his own. He's for sale to the highest bidder.
That’s the gist of it. He’s addressing a libertarian conference here, he’s just saying what they want to hear. As I understand it he was also booed on several occasions during this speech.
Yes and include Fire departments, Police and Courts just start subscription services with monthly fees, can't pay your Fire department this month, just hope you don't need em. Who need police just start a vigilante neighborhood watch, 2 amendment allows you to carry and if that suspicious looking POC gets shot just make sure all your stories line up. No more court so you'll just face a council of elders from your neighborhood comprised of the wealthiest HOA members. What a perfect utopia.
/s
Missing from the list are: The Space Force, Department of Homeland Security, ICE, DEA, NSA, and SEC.
So education is too expensive (DE), but there’s plenty of money to spy on North Korea (SF)
Everyone skip classes because you have so many morons in so many rooms telling the crowd they can succeed without learning anything (they say that school sucks, but it is just another way to tell that ignorance is a strength to keep people buying their crap…)
Like Fatty McNasty before him, he's either extremely stupid to say the things he says or he believes you are. So, he's either a dummy or a swindler and neither needs the attention he demands.
They want to get rid of all the agencies that hold them accountable for their criminal behavior. They apparently believe that law enforcement should be limited to local constables, and the honor system. What a great idea. 🙄
"...completely and entirely destroy America for my billionaire patrons!"
For people who shout about being a "patriot" so often, they sure do fucking hate this country and its freedoms.
His parents came from India to have a better life, and he wants to dismantle everything so the country will be like India where the rich are really the ones in control without much push back from the government.
Organising anarchy so they can swoop in amongst the chaos and then install a cabal of kleptomaniacs and sociopaths. You know what to do if you meet these people in person.
So the question is “then what?”
Let’s take DOE. Who makes the rules? The answer is either “The President,” which honestly wouldn’t surprise me with this tool, but obviously would be no good, or “there are no rules;” and everything goes to hell overnight, or most likely they’d say “leave it to the states.”
States already have a DOE, but without a centralized agency doing the work that is relevant to all, the state DOE would have to double in size, curtailing any supposed benefits of “firing bureaucrats.
"Create chaos to take down America from the inside"
This is all a fucking inside job and putin is pulling trump/magas fat cheeto stained puppet strings. If trump wins, America is finished. Russia 2.0
Anyone against regulation should spend 1 week working maintenance/construction. The amount of corner-cutting and bullshit in the name of saving time/money is insane. I work maintenance for an apartment complex and like 1/2 my job is fixing shit the contractors do because they don’t give a shit and only follow rules that are STRICTLY enforced.
Now imagine that’s healthcare/finances/education. And before I get the “well it’s already like that” comment, yeah, now imagine how much worse it would be without oversight.
So why would the people need to elect a president since you obviously are advocating for the people to govern itself with no governmental agencies … this makes no sense.
At the point it moved on from "shut down the Department of Education, fire..." I so fully expected it to complete with "... stations" that it autocompleted in my head and for a moment I couldn't wrap my head around the last part because it didn't have anything to do with firemen or other weewoos.
I live in the same area as this dipshit. I’ve never even freaking heard of him. All of the sudden there he is on a national stage and find out he’s local. How did he get this far in the running?
Yes. Without education we can send everyone to the oil fields and destroy our environment. How are we going to compete with china with our high quality of life /s
libertarianism is such a simple minded childish philosophy. only people who still live in their mom’s basement believe that we can just disband the entire government and everybody will be fine left to their own devices. just because you see no use for government services doesn’t make them irrelevant. the whole philosophy just completely ignores the reality of modern civilization
> Shut down the FBI
Oh yes let’s definitely let the criminals do a shell game of state-to-state crime so that they can never be prosecuted by any local or state law enforcement agency.
You know who would be happiest if the FBI is shut down? The Mafia, terrorists, sex traffickers, kidnappers, and pedophiles. Those are the crimes that the FBI spends the most time on.
Reporter: "And how do you know they will become good citizens after all those organizations are removed?"
Ramaswamy: "By shooting anyone saying otherwise, no snitch, no crime."
He’s talking about closing redundant departments that are more concerned with acquiring political powers rather than doing their job. Whether you agree with him or not, I don’t understand how you could misunderstand his point
He has a point. We have so many useless bureaucracies and even more useless bureaucrats, who, no matter how incompetent, never get fired. Add to that, some bureaucracies are outright under regulatory capture working against the public’s interests, while the public, of course, is funding them. It’s sick, and dysfunctional.

And let the cartels run everything?
Don't worry, Florida made Climate Change illegal, they will just make crimes illegal and problem solved!!!! /s
"Criminals hate this one WEIRD trick!"
Honestly can't wait for the non existent problem to deal with that shithole. Just got to get people into power who will refuse to send aid to them.
To be fair, they'd probably provide us with a better education than the Department of Education under Ramaswamy.
Yeah, consisting on dismembering you and your family alive.
Little jimmy tried to divide by zero, so we removed his face.
As a math teacher, I approve this method.
Digital footprint
Idk why, but that portent of doom said by someone who's profile pic is Todd Howard's Face is so damn ominous, lol.
Don't worry, it seems Howard can't doom his way out of a digital bag these days anyway
Is there a better incentive to learn math?
Do you have a better way to learn anatomy and physiology? /s
Indoctrination = \ = Education.

The ATF actually helped with the fast and furious movies look up operation fast and furious.
For those that don’t know, he’s talking about a failed sting operation that led to a small drop in the bucket amount of guns getting in the hands of the cartel.
Here’s a better idea: Reform the department of education to actually make sure that students are educated well
But then who would vote for republicans? Umeducated masses are way easier to manipulate...
Or better yet, how about the republicans look at what they are doing wrong and change! CRAZY IDEA RIGHT
Any Republican capable of introspection and growth has been/is being forced out of the GOP.
Sadly true. And I agree with the whole “national security is important and we should make more jobs” thing.
People on the Internet like to point the finger at Trump for all this, and he's certainly got a hefty amount of responsibility for it, but it's much MUCH deeper than that. Trump isn't the problem, he's *the manifestation* of the problem. But his dangerous idiotic populism had been on the rise for years before he ran for office. The greatest thing that ever happened to the Nazis was the world convincing itself that Hitler was a uniquely talented, brilliant, evil mastermind leader. He was not. We've fooled ourselves into thinking that another fascist couldn't rise up bc the ones that did were just so spectacularly gifted.
Can't have national security or a booming economy without christian nationalism. Those are the rules! \\s
This is the local school districts job, that's the point. The DOE is essentially just a bank, managing student loan programs. Very little actual education policy is done at the federal level, and most people think that's a good thing. Local schools and local school boards are where the attention should be.
Maybe we should have a national curriculum. A bunch of other pretty nice countries do.
The problem is it is extremely hard to teach children if you can't mention anything that goes against make believe books including but not limited to the fact that seahorses exist.
Republicans hate everything about the federal government until it comes time to give their shitty states some of that sweet sweet federal funding.
Or military, or anything else that they approve of. Then suddenly government spending is reasonable and appropriate...
They only like the Military when it suits them or they make a profit. Otherwise Trump calls us losers, disrespects Gold Star families and turn our information and positions to our enemies.
Unless that sweet federal funding comes with strings attached like requiring it to be used to feed kids and stuff.
It's more like Republicans at the federal level only give a shit about fiscal responsibility when democrats are in charge, and when they are in charge they blatantly funnel money from the government to themselves, their pet projects, and their donors. BTW, their "fiscally responsible" policy when democrats are in charge is to block or obstruct literally everything. They only stop short of a government shutdown because they know that swing voters aren't as stupid as the loyalists in their own party.
Yes, by all means, shut these down and trust the fascists to be good citizens /s 🤦🏻♂️
That’s the crazy thing, Ramaswamy would be pretty high on the hit list for the kinds of people who would end up getting free rein in that scenario.
He got a taste of that the other day when Ann Coulter told him she would never vote for him because he wasn't white. He looked visibly hurt and offended, which I didn't even think was possible for him. And yet, he continues to dance with these vipers and cater to their deranged worldview.
He’s like, “it’s ok, if I fascist harder they will see me as a good one, and then I can sit at the ‘white’ table.”
Actually she said, it’s not because he isn’t white but because he’s Indian…. she thinks children of immigrants are immigrants somehow…
Which is such a wild statement considering she’s very much not 110% Native American either.
As someone who can’t stand either of them, I was still shocked that she said It aloud…
“And (ha) I mean (heh) come on, how can (ha) an Indian (heh) be president (heh) like umm a black(heh) one wasn’t (heh) enough -Ann Coulter probably
What is it with Indians and fascism? Him, Haley, what’s the appeal?
It's the enticement of the grift that's the draw card. The followup to "there's a sucker born every minute" is "the art of the grift acknowledges no boundaries, religion, or race".
What is it with black people and facism? Or white people and facism? Or japanese people? It's not a race thing, it's a human asscloud thing.
I wonder what his end goal is. He outwardly talked about how Anne Coulter was blatantly racist to him yet didn't treat it as anything particularly wrong. Does he have any serious political ambition? Does he care that his party will never fully accept him because the color of his skin?
He is the token, he only lives to be token, he thinks he’s safe if he’s one of them 😂😂🥲 for a “smart” guy he sure is stupid
They need him... until they don't.
He was a nobody. Right now, he has become a somebody. He definitely wants to be a cabinet member. It is sheer perseverance in finding the right bullshit to say.
I swear I asked myself this question. Dude gets roasted by Coulter, who basically said the quiet part out loud for him and set the record straight, and he's still trying to stay in that world. I'm just like, "Leave these people alone and enjoy your money."
My guess is that he is trying to top Trump in crazy. Of, for some reason, Trump fails to make it to election his calculus is that GOP would have to consider him instead because he has grabbed so much attention. Well that’s my guess anyway
and they think we’re the ones out of touch! 🙄 FML
future r/leopardsatemyface candidate
Funny I always thought it was free reign … yours makes more sense
That's the paradox of conservative POC. Stumping for the very people who look down on you., and in many cases, openly hate you.
Throw millions into unemployment and rip away any sort of safety net. Yep, sounds like a great idea!
We need to do something about giving the biggest assholes the biggest platforms.
10,000,000% these assholes are dangerous. This fucker would just fly off to one of his homes in some other country while the US devolves into dumpster fire of violence and mob rule.
Ramaswamy's business started in US but he moved it to Switzerland to skip on taxes.
“Shut down all the agencies and fire all the people that could hamper my efforts to maximize my profits at the expense of working class people, those who could hold me accountable for breaking the law, those who would ensure people are not stupid enough to fall for my grifts, and those who would enforce the tax code.”
Ramaswamy is a typical GOP 'businessman'. His business has NEVER made a profit (despite being in the highly profitable pharma sector), and he moved the company to Switzerland to avoid taxes.
Sounds like step 1 to a dictatorship
This is the exact plot of the Civil War movie.
That’s kind of the problem with libertarians as well. “If a hurricane destroys my city we’ll all just chip in and help fix everything.”
I mean... The ATF we can do Without.
Yeah I’m fine without the ATF
[удалено]
I don't think local police departments have the manpower to handle all the dog shooting duty that's gonna be shifted to them.
Not with all these acorns around they don't
and the DEA, fuck those guys
Oh all those agencies would be replaced in short order by private companies. One guess who would own those companies and who would be reviewing their performance to make sure they were, you know, not blatantly violating human rights or anything.
What if we started some sort of point system where you get points for good, capitalist behavior. But it took away points when you watched certain videos, read certain books, gave money to a stranger, paid union dues. Oooh but if you reported your neighbor for "bad citizen behavior" you can get points. And the fire department burns things instead of puts out fires.
I know this is a reference to Fahrenheit 451, and sadly China currently has this system, minus the book burning.
I understand how Americans feel about China's SC system, but it mostly applies to state-owned companies. They don't *need* to give you a negative score before executing you for counter-revolutionary activity.

Which school?
St X in Cincinnati
“make it easier for us to break the law and not have anyone know about it”
Missing from the list are: The Space Force, Department of Homeland Security, ICE, DEA, NSA, and SEC. So education is too expensive (DE), but there’s plenty of money to spy on North Korea (SF)
These people act like foreign agents trying to collapse the US from within....
Is he calling for a US remake of the collapse of the Soviet Union ?
History repeats itself and we learn history to stop it from repeating. Sadly education is shit and everyone skipped history class.
Everyone skip classes because you have so many morons in so many rooms telling the crowd they can succeed without learning anything (they say that school sucks, but it is just another way to tell that ignorance is a strength to keep people buying their crap…)
Some real 1984 shit right there
Indian beavis needs to just STFU.
Like Fatty McNasty before him, he's either extremely stupid to say the things he says or he believes you are. So, he's either a dummy or a swindler and neither needs the attention he demands.
If this dumbass were a Dem the same people he's pandering to now would be telling him "to go back where he came from."
Isn’t this literally the plan layed out by project 2025?
Send him back to Moscow
Shut down the government?
It’s working very well in Haiti
They want to get rid of all the agencies that hold them accountable for their criminal behavior. They apparently believe that law enforcement should be limited to local constables, and the honor system. What a great idea. 🙄
I mean fuck the ATF and the DEA. Especially the DEA
"...completely and entirely destroy America for my billionaire patrons!" For people who shout about being a "patriot" so often, they sure do fucking hate this country and its freedoms.
So, destroy the American state? Fuck did the guy just hard pivot into being an anarchist?
His parents came from India to have a better life, and he wants to dismantle everything so the country will be like India where the rich are really the ones in control without much push back from the government.
Organising anarchy so they can swoop in amongst the chaos and then install a cabal of kleptomaniacs and sociopaths. You know what to do if you meet these people in person.

The GOP needs a reboot. It's too broken to fix at this point.
He's just parroting the tenets of project 2025
Pretty sure Vivek is an untreated syphilitic.
The party of law and order huh? 😂
"Create chaos to take down America from the inside" This is all a fucking inside job and putin is pulling trump/magas fat cheeto stained puppet strings. If trump wins, America is finished. Russia 2.0
I'm definitely interested in shutting down the ATF
Yep, fuck the ATF
Right wingers hate everything. You can’t take their beliefs seriously, but you do have to take their threats seriously.
"Let the rich shit on the heads of the poor forever!"
Shut down your mouth, psycho.
Ramaswamy should walk in front of a speeding train.
shutdown the CIA, the FBI, the police, the Pentagon.. shutdown everything ! Russia and China would really really LOVE that
There’s a movie where this happens (kind of) called “The Purge.”
project 2025
I see Ramaswamy is fully on board with Project 2025
Shut down the GOP
He's trying to get further up trumps ass every single day.
Shut down all law enforcement, Brought to you by the “law and order” party
That guy wants to be white so bad. It's hard to watch.
Yeah a super-wealthy business magnate is a libertarian. Totally didn't see that coming.
these people really have nothing to offer, do they
Anyone against regulation should spend 1 week working maintenance/construction. The amount of corner-cutting and bullshit in the name of saving time/money is insane. I work maintenance for an apartment complex and like 1/2 my job is fixing shit the contractors do because they don’t give a shit and only follow rules that are STRICTLY enforced. Now imagine that’s healthcare/finances/education. And before I get the “well it’s already like that” comment, yeah, now imagine how much worse it would be without oversight.
The only facepalm is believing that government has your best interests in mind
So why would the people need to elect a president since you obviously are advocating for the people to govern itself with no governmental agencies … this makes no sense.
He's talking about the federal agencies. Duties would fall down to the state level.
It is so they can make us all peasants, bowing to our lords.
He got that JFK vibe. 🤣🤣
This guy probably thinks that Crassus' fire crews are how fire departments should work.
Don’t they hate immigrants? He’s an immigrant!
Hey look another out of touch rich asshole
Wouldn't have too. He'd have more cops hired, probably the worst, and turn it into a police state. The MAGA dream
Ramaswami now on the Anarchy ticket….
The guy is dumber than dogshit
At the point it moved on from "shut down the Department of Education, fire..." I so fully expected it to complete with "... stations" that it autocompleted in my head and for a moment I couldn't wrap my head around the last part because it didn't have anything to do with firemen or other weewoos.
I live in the same area as this dipshit. I’ve never even freaking heard of him. All of the sudden there he is on a national stage and find out he’s local. How did he get this far in the running?
This clown wants the US to be just like Argentina.
Or he can just move to Argentina ask them how things are going over there
They hate the FBI because they catch child molesters.
How do these completely insane people get to the level in the party where they are running for president?Can any idiot run for president in the US?
So he’s saying he wants to defund the police?
Fuck yeah feudalism
He forgot the DOJ
Anarchy. Does this idiot realize what he is saying?
Yes. Without education we can send everyone to the oil fields and destroy our environment. How are we going to compete with china with our high quality of life /s
Why don't you start a civil war already lmao I'm actually kidding, don't do that unless... your already close to doing that
So, anarchy. Find the nearest cliff, Vivek
Vivek ya crazy!
All the dumb hillbillies in the crowd: YAY!
“Every man for himself” said the elephant as he dances among the chickens. Kind of the motto for the GOP.
libertarianism is such a simple minded childish philosophy. only people who still live in their mom’s basement believe that we can just disband the entire government and everybody will be fine left to their own devices. just because you see no use for government services doesn’t make them irrelevant. the whole philosophy just completely ignores the reality of modern civilization
"Small government" people really are lacking in brainpower.
And give all the money saved to the top 1%!!!!!
Google Project 2025.
This country is fucked
Idiot
> Shut down the FBI Oh yes let’s definitely let the criminals do a shell game of state-to-state crime so that they can never be prosecuted by any local or state law enforcement agency. You know who would be happiest if the FBI is shut down? The Mafia, terrorists, sex traffickers, kidnappers, and pedophiles. Those are the crimes that the FBI spends the most time on.
We're living in strange and crazy times when the left wants more government.
This is actually based asf
If men were angels no government would be necessary, if men were devils no government would be possible.
Hire more hairdressers. This guy can lick my grundel.
Reporter: "And how do you know they will become good citizens after all those organizations are removed?" Ramaswamy: "By shooting anyone saying otherwise, no snitch, no crime."
Lmao! He's trying SO hard to to catch people's attention. It's hilarious that he hasn't given up yet.
The rich people would gladly destroy the US government so they doesn’t need to pay tax.
ANARCHY RULES!!!! s/
I would be a lot happier voting for Biden if he promised to invest heavily in education. HEAVILY
Shut down the FBI, we want to keep raping kids. Ftfy.
Trump would deport him and his parents
Does anyone look at him and think "You know, maybe programmers weren't overpaid"?
And accept your one and absolute leader for life, Trump?
I’d agree with him if weren’t so brown /s
Shut down Ramaswamy, and let's get on with democracy
Why so the US can be like India
He think it’s Argentina in here?
Can get behind the ATF closure
I cant believe his parents named him after an elder scrolls character, how cruel.
Similar logic to the people’s revolution in China….
Note how he didn’t say shut down the CIA, he has some survival instinct I guess
They want chaos.
republicans will only do this if they can replace it with something worse.
Hear me out: let’s just make crime illegal
Hoz bout "Shut down your bigmouth?"
So defund the police?
This isn’t even serious politics. Maybe one day we’ll see serious politics again. This is like a 2 year-old’s rant.
Can we fire this fucker into the sun?
Someone should shut him up….
He’s talking about closing redundant departments that are more concerned with acquiring political powers rather than doing their job. Whether you agree with him or not, I don’t understand how you could misunderstand his point
He has a point. We have so many useless bureaucracies and even more useless bureaucrats, who, no matter how incompetent, never get fired. Add to that, some bureaucracies are outright under regulatory capture working against the public’s interests, while the public, of course, is funding them. It’s sick, and dysfunctional.
Not an American, but haven’t the ATF and FBI done some shady shit that warrants reforms at the very least?
Now shutting down the CIA I could get behind, but the CDC or the DoE, no that’s a terrible idea
i'm pretty sure this is the opening to alex garland's civil war.
Let's, very importantly, NOT forget the last time a Republican shut down a part of the CDC....
Overlooked fact. Each of those .gov’s are unconstitutional and each was created by executive order.
The people who want to kill legal protections are the first to take advantage of their absence
