I think it would probably fool other Republicans, but it might not pass a Turing test, because I don't think the Republicans would pass a Turing test either. (Or a Voight-Kampff test. There are eight letters that appear in both "Replicant" and "Republican". Coincidence? It is irresponsible not to speculate.)
In other news, in the "even a blind squirrel finds an acorn occasionally" department, the
Daily Mail has broken an absolutely horrifying story about serial domestic abuse by White House staff secretary Rob Porter, who has just resigned (when there's photographic evidence, that's pretty much game over). Moreover, the
Mail has established that Gen. Kelly, for whatever reason, knew about the domestic abuse and did nothing about it - in fact, kept defending Porter. I can't read why he chose this specific hill to die on - I mean, he'd pretty much already outed himself as a misogynist, but still. Kelly has claimed that he didn't know about Porter's abuse, but the
Mail and other sources seem to have convincingly discredited these claims already.
Of course, this is the
Mail, so they're still milking as many stories out of it as possible. I'll link two of the more relevant ones and leave it at that. Trigger warning for assault, strangulation, and probably half a dozen other things I'm too dazed to think of right now. The articles have photos.

And here's a testimony from one of Porter's ex-wives (ALL THE TRIGGER WARNINGS).

Now, if you'll excuse me, I think I'm going to be ill.
