Hmm, yeah, sure.
Damn how do you get an honorary doctorate?
If a university beleives you have contributed a significant level of research / furthered a field of study to a certain point, then they can offer an honorary doctorate. Its like saying you've done the equivalent of a PhD thesis but didn't do the PhD student part.
I never said anything about trump intelligence, but I dont see her at particularly smart. Smart people would be someone like Vivek or Elizebeth Warren, Harris is not in their league so she doesnt have that advantage.
And many of those this are not really brags...
which isn't a brag?
The one that is uncontroversially an abysmal failure would be "Co authored withdrawal from Afghanistan". That is incredible someone would even want to mention it.
Do you think you could do better? I certainly wouldn't want the job
Of course I could do better, give a map to a toddler and they could have done better. Think about it this way, which would you chose to try to defend, an airport in a city of 4.5 million (semi-hostile) people, or at an AFB that they put billions of dollars into 1 hour north surrounded by desert?
I mean this response is indicative of a lack of critical thinking about what it means to head up the entire US army
Not that I have a hard on for Harris, the military industrial complex or neoliberalism, but I do recognize that overly simplistic solutions like this are extremely ill-considered at best.
I am confused is it hard to realize how bad of an idea it was to exit in the middle of a huge city?
Vivek? Smart? Lmaooooooooo
Yeah that’s a troll there. Mr Ramaswamy is many things, but he’s about as smart as he is the pride of Columbus, and most of us don’t even realize he’s from here. Hell he didn’t even manage to be the shame of the city.
I really detest him. As an Indian guy I hate seeing conservatives extol him as a genius, when he's actually just a billionaire grifter pandering to conservatives.
I know that wasn't necessarily meant for me but I didn't know all that, so thanks for putting the list together!
She's also from a very gifted family in general. Both her parents had PhDs, her mother was a researcher who's credited with making significant advancements in understanding breast cancer, her father was a professor of economics at Stanford and her sister is a lawyer and political analyst.
