The fact that Vivek Ramaswamy honestly believes that today’s GOP will vote for someone named Vivek Ramaswamy is a contender for the most oblivious take of the election cycle so far.

As an aside… How could an Indian American be anti-diversity and supportive of “Restoring America’s National Identity?” Has no one told him that’s code for White Supremacy?

Edit: Upon reviewing the rest of his campaign site, holy crap this dude is the worst. I want more diversity in politics. I want more Indian Americans, African Americans, Asian Americans, and other POC to represent our nation, including the presidency. But… no, not like this.

That’s possible. My impression is that from the audio alone, it’s not clear that he allowed others to actually read the documents. He seems to be showing them to others, but it’d be difficult to prove from the audio alone.

What is clear, however, is that he knew he had the documents, he knew they were classified, he knew he had not declassified them, and he knew that he couldn’t do it anymore. He lied repeatedly about these things, and to my knowledge, that’s the crux of the case against him. I’m certainly no legal expert, though.

I wrote a haiku
In the dada style, but it’s
A little creepy

…

This is a true story. I compose dadaist poetry (I use a method similar to Burroughs’ cut-up method, so phrases rather than single words, usually) and sometimes I do haikus. I composed a random haiku for this prompt but it came out much darker than I anticipated, so I wrote the above one the old fashioned way, and I’ll share that instead.

Comic Code has ligatures, but it’s not free. Still $30 well spent for me. https://tosche.net/fonts/comic-code

I love Comic Mono. I use Comic Code - it’s not free but it does support ligatures, which was worth it to me. The legibility boost is excellent.

You’ll have to pry Comic Code from my cold dead hands!
