All Donald Trump does is undermine the progress weβve made here in Pennsylvania to cut taxes and make life more affordable.
Look at the facts:
Iran: check this shit out, I drew a fake tunnel entrance. and labelled it Secret Bunker. The American AI burned a quarter of their remaining ammunition trying to destroy it.
The US: claude, give me bunkers hot in Asian land war visible nipples right altitude big tiddies not fooled by black paint
Iran: check this shit out. I literally just drew a big picture of a soldier on the ground. The American AI spent $150 million trying to kill it.
The US: Claude, give me war plans big tiddies wins in war Montgomery and Rommel visible nipples mastermind plans child-like face
These are too funny, and sadly probably too true, to not repost.

Each sits next to phrases such as βyou say the wrong things,β βyou change your mind,β βyou are unproductive and messy,β βyou have ups and downs,β βyou feel unsure at times,β and βyou make mistakes.β The colours are vibrant pink, yellow, teal, purple, and white, giving the illustration a warm, playful feeling that celebrates the everyday imperfections of being human.

We say the wrong things. We change our mind. We have ups and downs.
All signs that weβre wonderfully human. π§‘
