I’d say maybe JD is carrying his baby because his wife stumbled down the helicoptor bridge yesterday very severely, almost dropping her baby and perhaps hurting herself. None of the three soldiers receiving the flight seem to do anything to help. Maybe she asked JD to help out today.

interesting that conservatives were militantly “we must reward hustle” when the target was affirmative action at elite universities and now, when faced with the success of south asians and other groups, it is “i think we are too meritocratic”
