Vivek whateverthefuckhisnameis

[Aviation Pro]

Certifiable loon.

[maxrandb]

1. In the Navy, we'd call him a "seagull manager"

Flies in, starts screaming, shits everywhere, flies off.

[Diamond_Dog]

3. max, you won the internet tonight with that comment. I laughed out loud

[OAITW r.2.0]

5. It's replies like this that keep me reading DU.

I hope the admins create a way to showcase rec;d replies....

[Deuxcents]

7. 👏👏

[Archae]

13. In the Army and Air Force, they are called "90 Day Wonders."

2nd louies.

Fresh out of OTS and way too often full of themselves.

[AmBlue]

16. Sounds exactly like...

...something my Dad, also a Navy man, would say and leave us kids rolling on the floor at the dinner table. Much to Mom's chagrin.

[ismnotwasm]

28. Hahahaha!

[Abolishinist]

42. OK, made my day!

Our house is 500 yards from the ocean. Our neighbor's roof, at the top of the inverted "V", seems to attract Seagulls. They then swoop down to our backyard, hang out for a while, take a white poop, then leave. There have been times when I've gone out to chase them away, which doesn't always end well. More than once, they've crashed into the glass partitions at the end of our pool deck, which makes them upchuck. Seafood, I presume. A disgusting mess to clean up. And for those concerned, they fly away, apparently unharmed, just presumably hungry.

We also have a small window on a top-floor room, which is right above the roof. They like to peck on this, usually around 6:00 AM.

In conclusion, I don't like them. The problem being, in CA If you think you can take the gulls into your own hands, think again. They are protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. This is a federal law that requires a permit from Fish and Wildlife in order to harass or touch the adults, eggs, nests, or young chicks. While you are allowed to alter your roof to discourage nesting before the start of the breeding season, be sure to avoid disturbing the nests, eggs, and chicks during breeding season (which in La Jolla, seems to be May-September). Basically whenever you see a young gray chick, it’s off limits.

2. Yep, just wasting everybody's time with his nothing mouthings.

Everything he says we'd all be better off without having heard them.

[Mopar151]

4. He's chumming for MAGA!

Throwing out last weeks bait to get some action

[ecstatic]

6. Is it possible he's acting? Nobody is that stupid or obnoxious

Tucker, Musk and Rogan should be hosting the debate? There's no way he was being serious.

[emulatorloo]

10. I believe his whole campaign is nothing more than auditioning for a show at Fox News.

[ExWhoDoesntCare]

20. Oh come on

Yes, some people out there are that stupid. In fact, the number of very stupid people is quite high.

Where did you ever get the idea that people couldn't be this stupid? Have you never been in public?

See: MAGAts. Tens of millions of them--and they're all as dumb or dumber than this guy. They're everywhere, and, most frightening of all, they breed.

[3catwoman3]

32. "...most frightening of all, they breed."

Equally frightening - they vote!

[Initech]

8. The word "tool" immediately comes to mind.

He seems like the hall monitor type who got his jollies from reporting on kids smoking in the bathroom in high school.

[MiniMe]

9. He is gunning for VP

Ram his swammy

Yes, I know that isn't right, but close enough for a repuke

[Cha]

12. Pathetic Attempt to show he's the

best MF Brainwasher in the Cacle of Hyenas.

[hay rick]

14. Johnson. I'm pretty sure the name is Johnson.

[JoseBalow]

15. Vivek

RamaSMARMY

[Crunchy Frog]

43. That's what I call him. Or just "Smarmy" for short.

[sarisataka]

17. Kinda xenophobic

Even if he is a certifiable loon

[WhiskeyGrinder]

18. Beat me to it.

[EllieBC]

21. Yup. He's a complete asshat but that's no reason

to pretend his name is too confusing or hard to figure out.

[obamanut2012]

22. Yup, 100% agree, beat me to it

[Sky Jewels]

24. I agree. I don't like the "othering" of Indian and non-European origin names.

[pinkstarburst]

30. Comes across as a racist microaggression

If the OP has a hard time spelling Vivek Ramaswamy's last name correctly because it is long and has a lot of letters (I do too--I'm not the best speller), then look it up on Google before posting. But how would any of us feel if someone started a post about Kamala Harris and called her "Whateverthefuckhernameis" Harris the Vice President? Of course that would be seen as a racist microaggression, and rightly so.

[mahina]

34. Came to say it.

There’s no need for it- there’s plenty to show who he is without this stuff.

[muriel_volestrangler]

35. This sketch is about 25 years old, but it wouldn't hurt the OP to watch it

39. Either that, or lazy

I grew up with a Polish surname. That was fine as long as I was in the ethnic enclave where I lived, but when it came to dealing with the larger world I got the impression that a lot of people felt OK pronouncing and spelling the name any way they felt like. (Don't get me started on how the media pronounce Protosiewicz - Polish has phonetic spelling, it just doesn't use the same scheme English does)

"Ramaswamy" is not a difficult name for English speakers - or it shouldn't be if one takes the time to break it into syllables. Now he seems to be working on earning the nickname "ramasmary", but IMHO that's his own behavior.

[Paladin]

19. I'm profoundly grateful for the damage he's doing. (nt)

[obamanut2012]

23. INFO: why did you spell his name like that instead of his actual name?

[BannonsLiver]

27. Try to power through it.

[obamanut2012]

33. I love I am living in your head rent-free now -- you thread stalking me is cute AF

Sorry, I am happily married.

[BannonsLiver]

25. Absolutely agree.

[totodeinhere]

26. I am no fan of Nikki Haley. She is merely Trump light in a dress.

However I did take delight when she called Vivek scum.

[womanofthehills]

37. I enjoyed Vivek calling her Dick Cheney in heels!!

Enjoyed watching them go after each other. TicToc segment was good too - just keep arguing with each other you guys!!

[LetMyPeopleVote]

29. How is this idiot considered a serious candidate

[maxsolomon]

31. RAMA SWAMY

Indian surnames are very easy to learn if you break them apart. Try it.

He's not a loon, he's an asshole. Even his HS classmates in Cincy thought so.

[Retrograde]

40. A trick a Spanish teacher

taught me: start at the last syllable, then add syllables until you're comfortable saying the whole word.

Eg:
-my
-swamy
-maswamy
-Ramaswamy

[Hassler]

36. Remember, fake rhymes with Vivek and smarmy rhymes

With Ramaswami

[XanaDUer2]

38. Kick nt

[pwb]

41. He is just another rich freak that just talks at us.

Like we are lucky to hear his shit opinion on anything.
