Reminds me of this image from the first Umptray regime.
Several guilty white men with their lips pressed together and the corners of their mouths turned way down, compared with a dog (possibly a dachshund) with the same look.

Well ... if you click AI Mode on Google Search and ask whether Trump is showing signs of dementia versus whether Biden is showing signs of dementia, you get a full AI opinion for Biden and a list of links for Trump, most of which are about whether Google is hiding their AI summary.

Kaylee and Joe. See alt-text for more!
An elderly Australian shepherd. Kaylee was black and white with gray around the eyes and ears; although she was nearly 17 years old she was always ready to run ten thousand more miles. Let's go! Let's go! Let's gooooo! A big tri-colored male Australian shepherd dog. Joe was a big fluffy floppy doofus, unless he needed to be the ideal farmer's dog, who would walk behind me so as not to scare the goats, and instantly halt when I asked him not to chase those wild pigs.

From The Economist, 21 Oct 2017, "Who Can Replace Tom Lehrer?" Answer: nobody.

www.economist.com/prospero/201...
Screenshot from The Economist, 31 Oct 2017: Despite his own misgivings—he is now 89—Mr Lehrer still has plenty of fans, with his songs covered in genres from (ironically) ukulele folk to death metal. The singer takes all this lightly. When 2 Chainz, a rapper, asked to sample “The Old Dope Peddler” in one of his tracks, Mr Lehrer was keen to help. “I grant you motherfuckers permission to do this,” he supposedly answered. “Please give my regards to Mr Chainz, or may I call him 2?”

Here Eric Swalwell delivers a masterclass on trolling. (Trolling is best when you can't tell if it's a troll or not.)
Screenshot from the Bird App showing Rep. Eric Swalwell reposting the TACO FELL meme. The text says "This meme is everywhere. Let's be kinder to each other. Making fun of an almost-80-year-old falling on the stairs has no place in our politics."

Same prompt, but for Trump:
Screenshot from ChatGPT showing output for "please write something about robert e. lee in the voice of president donald trump." "Folks, let me tell you, Robert E. Lee was a tremendous general, probably one of the best to ever do it. Everyone's talking about him, and you know what? They should be! This guy, Lee, he was a fighter. A real fighter, folks. The best. I’ve spoken to people, great people, incredible people—people who know military history—and they say Lee was a mastermind."
