Greenwood is married to former Miss Tennessee USA Kimberly Payne, his fourth wife but fifth marriage,[33] who is 25 years his junior. They have two sons together, Dalton and Parker.[34] He married his first wife Edna at age 17, whom he divorced and remarried.[35] The second was Melanie Cronk, and the third was Roberta Taylor. He has four children from his earlier marriages.[36] For the record, the poster of this image is pointing out that Mike Johnson specifically would likely claim that a person who has had 5 marriages and is married to a woman 25 years his junior but was a Democrat would be "somebody like this" in his aw shucks racist veneer.

Every time someone says Chicago is a war zone I am reminded of this quote by Bob Solow
“Suppose someone sits down where you are sitting right now and announces to me that he is Napoleon Bonaparte. The last thing I want to do with him is to get involved in a technical discussion of cavalry tactics at the battle of Austerlitz. If I do that, I’m getting tacitly drawn into the game that he is Napoleon. Now, Bob Lucas and Tom Sargent like nothing better than to get drawn into technical discussions, because then you have tacitly gone along with their fundamental assumptions; your attention is attracted away from the basic weakness of the whole story. Since I find that fundamental framework ludicrous, I respond by treating it as ludicrous — that is, by laughing at it — so a’s not to fall into the trap of taking it seriously and passing on to matters of technique”

Y'all I don't think the Chinese open models are doomed quite yet.
Once again getting the most canonical example wrong. The response from the OpenAI GPT-OSS-20b to the question "how many r's are in the word strawberry?" is "There are two "r" letters in the word strawberry"
