The Bear Jew’s Bat

@1calebbrock @ethanagarwal @sarah_drory @RoKhanna You and the other Ro folks on this thread are a great reminder that you cannot possibly hate the staffer class enough.

@ethanagarwal @sarah_drory @RoKhanna Bro you are getting cooked in all your "friend's" group chats right now

Now I know why everyone hates politicians. Let's start with some context. We announced our campaign March 3rd. In the last three weeks, we've been gaining really great traction. We've been hitting @RoKhanna hard on his ongoing stock trading activities, over $600m(!) in his nine years of being a public servant. In response: 1. Ro had three people reach out to me, offering that if I dropped out of this race he would endorse me in 2028 when he runs for President. When I said no the first two times, the third guy said if I don’t take this offer, I’ll be making an enemy of the President of the United States. That’s the kind of person Ro is. 2. After I turned down his offer, he did opposition research on me, which is fair. Then he used a shill reporter to write the totally unprofessional piece below. One thing I'll give credit to Ro's team for: they know how to drag someone through the mud. They did the same thing to legendary Congressman Mike Honda. 3. He then clipped parts of this article and sent it out to his email list, the fourth email about me in the last three weeks. Our team debated whether to respond to the article below at all, we wanted to avoid the Streisand effect. But we've decided to answer it, not to substantiate it or lend credibility to this "reporter", but because we have nothing to hide and we believe the voters deserve to know who they're voting for. So, here are the answers. Any concerned citizens or reporters who want to ask any follow up questions, feel free to call or text me directly: 408.761.3234. I have nothing to hide.  Let’s go back 11 years. Aaptiv is a company I started on my couch in 2015. In the next five years, over one million people across twenty countries paid for our health and wellness products. This success was due to a ton of work from the Aaptiv team, the investors, and even our members who took a leap of faith on a new product. Eventually, our customer acquisition costs didn't scale, so we ended up selling the company. I stepped down as CEO a few months before the M&A closed. Anyone that’s been part of a business of any size knows that lawsuits between companies are standard negotiating practice. It makes sense that Ro has no idea how this stuff works, never having run a business, and being a b-tier lawyer, telling everyone he was a Partner when he was actually Of Counsel.  Let’s go into the details mentioned in the article. Every item was ultimately settled no personal penalities: 1. “Court records show Agarwal — who previously lived in New York — personally confessed in 2020 to owing $2 million to Universal Music Group over a licensing dispute with the digital fitness company he founded, Aaptiv.“ Our health classes used popular music licensed from the majors, UMG, SME, and WMG. Negotiating with these folks is no joke. The reason I offered a personal guarantee is that UMG would offer Aaptiv better terms if I agreed to that; it's not something most founders are willing to do. UMG drove a hard bargain in our negotiations, and threatened me and Aaptiv with this lawsuit. Ultimately, we settled, with no personal penalties or incrimination, confirming that the case was only a negotiating ploy. 2. “Later filings show Agarwal failed to pay $300,000 of the settlement he agreed to a year before selling the company in 2021. “ Same as above, UMG driving a hard bargain using lawsuits as negotiation. Again, the only reason my name is there is because I offered a personal guarantee to help the company get a better deal. Again, as you can see in the documents we settled with no personal penalties or incrimination, again confirming that the case was only a negotiating ploy. 3. “Separately, the landlord of One World Trade Center in New York City sued Agarwal’s company in 2023 for $2 million over unpaid rent while he was CEO, though proceedings were discontinued the same year. “ We had a dispute with our landlord over rent during COVID. As stated, proceedings were discontinued with no penalties or liabilities. 4. “Court records show he was married for nearly 10 years until filing for divorce in 2025. Agarwal declined to comment on his marriage separation.” I’m not commenting on my family since this is the decency we all deserve. BTW - this wasn’t for lack of trying on part of the “reporter,” who made some seriously disgusting inquiries.  5. “The lies Ethan is spreading about Ro are sad, but also deeply hypocritical given his checkered financial and personal past,” Khanna’s spokesperson Sarah Drory told San José Spotlight. “We should have a conversation in our district and California about real ideas and plans to improve the lives of people in the community.” Sarah, I would absolutely love to have a conversation about the district, in our district. Unfortunately Ro has been playing Where In The World is Ro Khanna for the last five years. Any time you want to speak in the district Ro, let me know. In fact, let’s have the debate in Hindi or English. You probably don’t know this Ro, but 60% of our district speaks a different language from English at home. These issues are from over five years ago when I was a private citizen. Ro has been trading over $600,000,000 stock in the last 9 years, while being an elected public servant, railing daily against wealth inequality. There will probably be other stuff that comes out about my time as a private citizen. I’ve worked for two large multinational companies, I’ve started two companies worth over $100m+, I’ve hired and even had to let go dozens of people; anyone that is in the mix will have some mess on them. Here are some embarrassing things: A while back, I downloaded some porn, got accused of IP infringement by the production company and it was settled. When I was 20, I used a fake ID and got caught and did community service to pay my dues. As I said above, anyone should feel free to ask questions, I’m not hiding anything. Now it's your turn, Ro. Let’s start going into your past. Srilatha? Bring it Ro. You’ve got a hell of a lot more to lose than I do. Coward.

@neverfadegold @SherryPrea58356 @JessicaCostescu They didn’t take “Israel” from Jews. MAGA/Putin levels of bullshit propaganda.

@SherryPrea58356 @JessicaCostescu They didn't take it from Jews though lol.

Yesterday, UC Berkeley’s SJP chapter posted a video of an armed Palestinian militant from the Jenin Camp stronghold declaring: “The armed option is the only way. What was taken by force should be returned by force. This is a Zionist enemy. There is no place for negotiations.”

@hotelnovember23 @EricSpracklen I can’t tell you how awesome it is to see that Rs have their own leftist analogue. Thank fucking god.

@EricSpracklen One, Fuck the democrats and two and more importantly, fuck the Republican Party of Israel.

If CPAC turnout is any representation of what November is going to look like, Republicans should be in full panic mode.

@sockz254762 @DavidNRodriguez @billiceberg @PollTracker2024 @ThirdWayLib Yes, I suspect you’ve contributed very little from any traditional metric we use as a society to capture value. I bet you’d argue your “advocacy” online is a material value add which is, again, a good support for why you should take your meds.

@ornerydonowitz @DavidNRodriguez @billiceberg @PollTracker2024 @ThirdWayLib A douchebag who spends all his time on X spreading zionist propaganda calls me a low functioning member of society 🤡

Mallory McMorrow on Hasan Piker in interview with the Jewish Insider: “It is somebody who says extremely offensive things in order to generate clicks and views and followers, which is not entirely different from somebody like Nick Fuentes.” “Pikar is a provocateur, to put it lightly, who says things that are misogynistic and antisemitic, and said that the United States deserved 9/11.” McMorrow is seeking the Democratic nomination for US Senate in Michigan

@Wilson__Valdez “Refried, TikTokified Chomsky and Zinn is hip and youthful.” Sure thing Scooter.

one of the funnier hate comments i've gotten on here, tbh.

@sdotjersey12 @AOC Good god I love how you idiots repel the few allies you have. It’s honestly awesome.

@AOC You voted to send money to Israel for more weapons to murder Palestinians! Stop acting like you have a conscience all of a sudden. You don’t. MTG, and Massie voted no. You voted yes. You’re a fucken fraud. Fuck you.

Today, the FBI and NYPD disrupted a plot by a member of a pro-Israel terrorist organization to assassinate Nerdeen Kiswani. This is a reprehensible act of political violence. There is no place for it in our city nor our country. I am thankful Ms. Kiswani is safe and the assailant is under arrest.

@ameriturd @devahaz @Indian_Bronson Angry Dane posting online about Americans is self writing satire. You’re priceless bud.

@devahaz @Indian_Bronson Cool story american idiot, american law system and everything else about it as peak trash as it can possibly get.

There’s no solution that isn’t extralegal, sorry. And I’m not going to do it, because I’m not willing to go to jail for strangers. But there is only one way any of this changes and it’s not elections. There isn’t enough money or coordination. The entire class of lawyers and judges and activists simply need to understand going forward that this isn’t acceptable and there will be consequences.

@gosuprime022 @Indian_Bronson Anime pfp wants to live in Nicaragua.

@Indian_Bronson the solution to awful judges, is obvious.

@a_luffa @GfloDough @HorrorGorl Yeah, we have an election to win so kindly take your 2020 bullshit down to the Marianas trench. Thanks.

@GfloDough @HorrorGorl you use the dullard badge slur.

This is for the Blue MAGAS

@TheTsengMao @rabois @FiSurgi @Ricky_cavals @evrgn11112231 @citrini Come on @rabois you spineless tit. Stand and deliver.

@rabois @FiSurgi @Ricky_cavals @evrgn11112231 @citrini Sorry what?

Weird dichotomy where all the people I know who are actively enlisted in the military feel the conflict is about to heat up but most of the people shitposting on Twitter are confident it won’t. I don’t know who to believe.

@buccocapital @ccmembersonly Perfect parenting advice does not exi- Yes.

Wife is out of town. What is the best boy movie to watch my with 8, 5, 3 year old sons?

@NickyFrank30 @RachelBitecofer They get super angry at me all the time because I’m on a burner. Just going to have to take my mean words and die mad, bitch.

@RachelBitecofer It’s not easy to do when the other people who are vital to your continued survival tell you to stop pushing back because it’s landing on them. I’d tell you privately but DSA nuts spamming my DMs got me banned from sending DMs.

It’s either push back on the DSA nutters or submit to MAGA fascism forever.

@Wilson__Valdez He and the State Rep candidate are the only two who are good bets to win their races. They canceled. If you want the W, you need to be allergic to that room full of Ls.

"last minute scheduling conflicts" aka "oh shit...uhh i don't think it's a good idea for the campaign to be associated with these people"

@Fressshhh2 @dearmattdearing @pennslinger I don’t know man, I think you’re just saying things you feel. I like at who has ever delivered tangibly for the working class in the US versus talking about it, and when you add that qualifier the list is pretty light on leftists.

Liberals are the ones that were being over sensitive. The left has abandoned the liberals, that's why they poll so bad. I have more respect for right wing people who stand up for what they believe in, than liberals who pretend to care about workers but in the end help the same billionaires/corporations the right helps.

Hasan Piker wouldn't be a problem if he didn't strike fear into establishment Democrats and right wingers.

@sockz254762 @DavidNRodriguez @billiceberg @PollTracker2024 @ThirdWayLib You don’t have to, but you’re clearly a low functioning member of society and would probably be happier if you weren’t.

@ornerydonowitz @DavidNRodriguez @billiceberg @PollTracker2024 @ThirdWayLib If you think I'm gonna take instruction from a hateful, lying bigot and supporter of genocide you are even more stupid than I thought.

@Fressshhh2 @dearmattdearing @pennslinger Not so much offended as I had to weather leftists being uber sensitive about stuff like that for years and now suddenly that’s all forgotten? Like fuck you guys. But I get the “mainstream” leftist and dirtbag leftist are different things too.

@ornerydonowitz @dearmattdearing @pennslinger 🤣That was actually funny, maybe there's hope for you. It's so much more fun when y'all chirp back. So sick of woke-maga, crying and getting offended

@TheDeau @JewishWonk Nah, but you don’t need biblical providence to know smelly tankies are bad and should be excluded.

@JewishWonk Was the democrat party promised to you 3 thousand years ago, too?

Good answer from Governor Beshear. Everyone is tired of the hall monitors looking for the right words in the right order. Dems who push back against the killjoys will be rewarded.

@Fressshhh2 @dearmattdearing @pennslinger Ticker: RTARD Gonna make tens of dollars. Or millions in Canada.

@ornerydonowitz @dearmattdearing @pennslinger Giv'er buddy, make a crypto coin NFT out of me

@Fressshhh2 @dearmattdearing @pennslinger There has to be a way to dump you into an LLM and monetize you.

@dearmattdearing @ornerydonowitz @pennslinger You got me bro, I'm gay as fuck. So don't forget to add a plus one when you send me a wedding invitation

@Battledadd @poodybooty1 We are certainly learning about your reading comprehension and choice of rhetorical devices. It ain’t great.

@ornerydonowitz @poodybooty1 Now I'm an arsonist? I'm learning so much about myself.

Everyone's talking about Platner as the new Fetterman when the new Sinema is rising right before our eyes
