China is crushing us with their AI 🤣

This is high art

It is not too early to start planning for victory, because part of how you win is by demonstrating that you intend to and believe that you can. Democrats need to make it clear to waverers and collaborators NOW that there will be penalties for defecting.

Both of these extraordinarily annoying men seem to live in a universe where they think it’s not safe for a 60-something year old man to ride the subway alone, and I would like both of them to disappear from public life forever.
