NEW Stupid Republican Idea of the Day (Part 3)

My first suspicion was aroused when I saw that his name was Vivek Ramaswamy and he thought he could be the presidential candidate for the party of white supremacists and Christian nationalists.

Likewise.

When he smiles, he looks crazy to me.

For me, it was the whole “first-generation-American against immigration”.

Me, too. He looks like a Batman villain.

According to an article I read, his family is very high-caste, so he might really think he’s different. And he has links to Hindu nationalism. So why not make common cause with Christian ones?

Let me try and find it.

Found it: Vivek Ramaswamy’s religion: Where Hindu nationalism and Christian nationalism collide.

Velcro was inspired by burdock, which is a much gentler looking burr without that long spine. That thing looks the inspiration for caltrops, or maybe some sort of torture device.

As the article states it seems more of a play to set up that it was CNN that refused or cancelled.

As expected he’s trying to copy his idol’s playbook: “of course, your news organization HAS to cover me and give me exposure”.

Who says high-waisted trousers are out of style?

That’s a fake image, surely.

Agreed. I’m reasonably sure Trump and Giuliani have torsos.

And bigger bellies (at least, Trump).

My father is in his nineties and I think I figured out the high-waisted thing. I know my father lost height as he aged (don’t know if this is common). Meanwhile most men are too cheap to buy new trousers, or think they should still wear the same size they always have. The result is trousers that have to be worn high so as not to drag on the ground.

(Though Trump has money and presumably has access to decent tailors.)

I think it’s because the belly gets fatter and saggier. At some point you can no longer cinch your belt across your gut, and if you wear your belt below your stomach, your butt crack will be exposed. So above the waist it goes.

Suspenders will probably alleviate this problem. I’ll report back in 20 years (or less) when it becomes an issue for me.

Not much of an “improvement”.

Eagle Rock?

Scanga Meat Co, based out of Salida CO. But little mom and pop place near us sells it.

Huh, never seen it. I’ll check it out next time I am down that way.

Better?
