On one hand, Republican officials call themselves "warfighters."
On the other, they become whiny crybabies at the thought of setting foot in DC streets and New York City subways that literal schoolchildren navigate every day without incident.
Real macho stuff.

Something that I have been thinking about with attribution of "PhD level intelligence" or "PhD level expertise" to a machine is that it reflects an increasing trend among these AI bros and their sycophants to want the products of highly skilled training without actually doing any of the work.

Ever wondered why Trump & MAGA always lie so wildly about numbers without a care in the world? Watch Angela Lansbury explain the reason. It’s crucial to understanding Steve Bannon’s “flood the zone” tactic.
