Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

I'm not insane! My mother had me tested!

[–] BrianTheeBiscuiteer@lemmy.world 22 points 11 months ago (2 children)

You mean the test they use to determine if you have Alzheimer's? Yeah, well done there.

[–] sik0fewl@kbin.social 9 points 11 months ago

Person, woman, man, camera, TV.

He got a perfect score! Only the best Alzheimer's!

[–] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 12 points 11 months ago

Sure Grandpa. Just like the poor are trying to take freedoms and not food.

[–] Tedesche@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I honestly wouldn't be that surprised if Trump claimed he has never made a mistake in his life, and that he is in fact a perfect person—perfectly complete, even including flaws and imperfections (the best flaws and imperfections, even). It also wouldn't surprise me that many of his supporters wouldn't bat an eye if he did say this.

Paging Dr. Orwell....

All those business failures? It was the deep state! Trump has never made a mistake in his life!

He has a certificate that says he doesn't have donkey brains. Do YOU have a certificate that says you don't have donkey brains?

That's what brought me here. What even is this pic? It's nightmare inducing.

[–] 9point6@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

Man, this exam again? When trump goes on about something, it's usually a lie

He totally did not ace that test.

[–] ivanafterall@kbin.social 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

The cognitive exam turned out to be a simple light switch.

[–] TechyDad@lemmy.world 11 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Back when he bragged about his cognitive exam perfect score, he claimed that he aced even the very tough last question. So I looked up the test he took. The last question asked what the current day was. Apparently, he found this challenging but finally was able to give the correct answer when lesser men would have failed.

I'd slap my forehead, but if I did this every time Trump or the Republicans did something stupid, I wouldn't know what day it was!

Well it's a test to see if someone has freaking Alzheimer. Everyone who doesn't have Alzheimer should pass it without problems. The fact that he still tries to use this as some sort of huge win would be hilarious if he wouldn't be a serious contender for the next POTUS.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


"Whenever I sarcastically insert the name Obama for Biden as an indication that others may actually be having a very big influence running our Country, Ron DeSanctimonious and his failing campaign apparatus, together with the Democrat's Radical Left 'Disinformation Machine,' go wild saying that 'Trump doesn't know the name of our President, (CROOKED!)

Trump has, indeed, mixed up the names of Biden and Obama on numerous occasions in recent months, as Forbes documented in mid-November.

Ron DeSantis has used these gaffes (intentionally committed by Trump or not) in an attempt to drum up support for his faltering campaign.

"Trump confuses Obama and Biden again," wrote DeSantis' "War Room" account on X in October.

In his morning monologue, the former president also pointed to his recently released and vaguely written health exam that noted his overall health is "excellent," including a cognitive exam.

"Also, and as reported, I just took a cognitive test as part of my Physical Exam, and ACED it," Trump added.


The original article contains 363 words, the summary contains 163 words. Saved 55%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

Don’t care

[–] eran_morad@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

How fucking stupid do you have to be to not see through this charade. Republicans are dumber than dogshit.

Sarcasm works best for me when I have to explain that I'm using sarcasm. I just used sarcasm right there.

See?
