And WTH is up with the Dem votes against? Are we THAT boned?
edit:
OK, I get it in context now. Every president has stuck their manhood into foreign affairs with ordinance. Obama did a lot of surgical drone strikes, I remember not liking it then either. I think this is a unnecessarily busy hornets next to be fucking with but what he’s doing isn’t new, and while I still don’t like it, impeaching him over it won’t work, we need more. He’s not going to war without Congress (yet), just doing what many others before him have done.
Honestly, compared to all the dozens of other crimes he’s committed this time around, I’d give him a pass on Iran and nail him something else, he still should and could be impeached if the GOP could grow some balls.
The dying flailings of neoliberalism, but also yes.
Like the left during the rise of the Nazis the movement is disorganized and divided, having counted on the support of the “moral” centrists who simply don’t exist.
I think Taco should have his diaper changed more frequently. Diaper rash can make babies cranky.
UTIs (urinary tract infections) really fuck with people experiencing dementia. Sometimes the way a person acts under a UTI is the first sign of such cognitive decline. They’ll be fine one day, but when infection sets in it’s like they become another person.
However, that’s for people who ordinarily have self-control. For Trump, it’s anyone’s guess.
I’m not sure what is worse - when he goes ALL-CAPS/CRUISE CONTROL FOR COOL, or when he has the Random Capitalization of words For no Apparent reason.
It’s called mental illness.
Trump sounds like a democrat.
Trump needs to relax, all this stress can’t be good for his heart.
In that case, what else can we do to stress him out?
I wanna see them file for actual impechment and not just call for it.
Like whats the point other than making the orange turd angry
Then what? What is the point of impeachment? It already happened twice, and he’s still here.
Seriously? Learn how shit works.
Enlighten me on how that’s going to be effective in stopping a president who doesn’t give a fuck about the constitution
… so better to give up? What’s your solution
Don’t try to play within a system that’s broken?
Great, what’s your solution?
The only viable one will get you banned for ‘inciting violence’.
Yes the state is truly a failure literally created by enslavers. No surprise it’s full o’ fash.
It’ll take another decade for some of you to realize Bernie and AOC are just as ineffective and just as much part of the neo-lib machine that keeps us going further right.
AOC isn’t saving us, she just gives you the illusion someone is fighting for you. She’s allowed to vent on your behalf.
Imagine having a literal Hitler running the show and STILL not understand the lesser of 2 evils meaning.
The “lesser evil” is actively participating in the same show that literal hitler is running.
Oh shit. You mean both parties are equally bad in all respects? Neither has even a slight lead in not being awful? Grow the fuck up. If you can’t tell which is worse, I’m fucking sorry you’re a lost cause. Goddamn…

Lol i love aoc, makes the alt right cry like the babies they are
Why does the president keep bragging about his passing of dementia tests‽ How can he not understand that that is admitting to needing them?
… it’s called mental illness…
“I passed that STD screening with flying colors!”
“My physical therapist had me walk across the room. He told me I did amazing. Perfect genes, I should be in the Olympics. I challenge Obama to try to walk across the room without even stopping a fourth time. He can’t. SAD”
This is the guy that probably actually believes the BS height/weight that he got some doctor to issue, LOL. Surprised he has not had a doctor tell everyone that he has a 14 inch dong, too. In any case, he’d probably believe that, too. :)
I just want to hear someone from the press pool shout, “you’ve already said this, Donald.”
How many times has he “completely lost it” recently? He’s always been insane. Insanely stupid in fact. Nothing new here.
Yet, when we read the headlines, every few days or weeks, he “completely loses it”.
If he were throwing grass in the air, eat dirt, or speak in tongues, maybe it would be worth the completely lost it title. Otherwise, it gets old after a few times.
That really irks me is we basically have two styles of headlines right now.
The newer sites like Rawstory, Mediaite, New Republic, Daily Beast, and Meidas Touch all use this bullshit style of headline writing.
Meanwhile the traditional media sane washes the man and is equally disconnected from reality, but in the other direction.
I’m also very sick of the clickbait titles. But in the case, he did actually lose it… I was doubled over laughing, the whole sequence is amazing
Agreed, but this time he seriously is completely losing it. That post is insane, and nonsensical.
It’s hyperbolic, as headlines always are.
Trump “completely loses it” all the time because he seems to have complete undying loyalty from everyone around him. There are no negative consequences for these outbursts.
Her response is gold
I genuinely think I have a crush on her. She consistently smacks these GOP losers around and does it with a smile.
‘The girls are fighting’
She is awesome - but I hope they don’t intend on running her for president - not because I think she would do any less than a fantastic job, but because we have proven even women in this country won’t vote for a woman president. Meanwhile we have children in 5th grade drama running things. “But a woman would be emotional”.
Women candidates have struggled in the past, but it’s looking like Harris at least lost because of voter machine rigging.
Plenty of people voted for Hillary Clinton, despite her being Hillary Clinton. I don’t think her being a woman was the issue there.
Honestly, I’m pretty tired of establishment telling us who we’ll vote for.
Not very long ago America was never going to vote for a black man.
Bernie could never beat Trump… for some reason.
I just don’t want progressives to do the work of conservatives.
Sounds like DNC logic - "Let’s not allow anyone who isn’t a right-leaning, but plausibly-moderate, cis-white person to run. We don’t want to divide our support. 🤦♂️
I think we need to wait and see how things shake out. If she can demonstrate broad based support then why not run her.
If it’s only lefties who love her, then she’s not the right choice.
I’d love to agree with you but look how it’s worked out - the two times the orange idiot has been elected he is running against ladies. It seems an insurmountable hill for the general public to be ok with a woman president
Yeah. There’s a correlation vs causation problem here that I don’t really have the answers to.
In other words I think that’s reductive.
Hillary was Hillary and didn’t take Trump seriously.
Kamala was run without much planning and forethought.
AOC might be a woman, and I take your point that may not be in her favor, but she has many virtues that may outweigh that disadvantage.
Was it because they were woman or because they were just the same old Democrats people were tired of? You know, the left candidates that are actually right leaning, the establishment. Trying to appeal to the other side while forgetting their own base like a parent giving all of its attention to the one child who constantly does mischief while the others feel left out.
Respectfully.
With All Due Respect
‘The amount of respect due is zero, but I’m providing a token amount because I’m so fucking nice’
I just realized that it would be hilarious to write to someone “with all due respect (none) …”
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
I’d take AOC over Trump every day of the week.
Unless it’s a fight. Then I’ll take Trump because AOC would probably kick my ass.
…I think I’d still rather have AOC kick my ass than have to touch Trump.
When we examine her Test Scores, we will find out that she is NOT qualified for office
I’ve got $1,000 on AOC’s test scores over trump’s; especially since he doesn’t know how to capitalize words properly and since she didn’t have a rich father that made huge donations to her college to get her in.
He can’t even spell his name any longer. He’s got full blown dementia.
This guy has been calling out everyone else’s grades and test scores since at least Obama, while consistently threatening institutions with lawsuits if they release his records. Such stereotypically weak-ass bully behavior.
From the guy that a Wharton professor said was the dumbest motherfucker he ever taught.
I love that you somehow caught a downvote on that. It’s almost a direct quote.
"Donald Trump was the dumbest goddamn student I ever had. " W. Kelley, Wharton Professor. Died 2011!
That’s how fucking dumb he was.
As much as I loathe The Good Doctor…
Trump fits that meme perfectly. ‘I am da president’ through the lips of a crying man child.
Its clearly a dementia test. AOC behaves like a non-cognitively impaired adult. Trump acts like a 70 year old who was in the NFL.
I don’t think there’s a person on the planet who would take that bet in good faith, except maybe Trump himself.
He truly believes he’s a genius. Everyone else on the planet, including his supporters, knows deep down that he’s by far the dumbest person to hold the office.
Smart people know their shortcomings.
And rich people think they are smart, because of money, instead of luck of the draw with parents giving them money.
Many are smart because they can afford better education.
Being better educated doesn’t make them smart. I know some geniuses who had to drop out of high school to work and some real dumbasses with doctorates.
If you take two equally capable people and give one a better education the better educated one will be generally smarter.
They’ll be more knowledgeable and better educated. They won’t be smarter.
My brother and I noted the propensity for some people born into wealth to be attractive as well. Braces when you’re 10 and a dermatologist when you’re 13 can have massive, lasting impacts decades later. Just a bit more invisible privilege those born to money get.
Historically, rich people have been able to alter what people consider attractive too. There were multiple cultures across the globe that painted their teeth black because being able to eat a lot of imported sugar made your teeth rot.
Straight up health problems being romanticized just because it was a problem only affecting the rich.
Lots of Trump cultists would. Remember that most of them need to be as stupid or even more stupid than Trump to worship him so.
How many of her teachers said she was the dumbest student they’d ever had?
AOC should be forced to take the Cognitive Test that I just completed at Walter Reed Medical Center, as part of my Physical,” continued the commander-in-chief. “As the Doctor in charge said, ‘President Trump ACED it,’ meaning, I got every answer right. Instead of her constant complaining, Alexandria should go back home to Queens
I miss adults running things.
Trumps wants AOF for president?
AOF?
Maybe if we let him rant and rave long enough, he’ll tell us how he rigged the election in his favour…and nothing will be done about it
Trump on Elon Musk: ‘He knows those computers better than anybody. All those computers. Those vote-counting computers. And we ended up winning Pennsylvania like in a landslide.’
In a sane country, he would be immediately removed from office, or at the very least there’d be a recount
The always bragging about having to go take cognitive tests is so fucking funny.
Yes, exactly this. AOC hasn’t taken a cognitive test because she doesn’t need to. He doesn’t realize that every time he brags about passing the cognitive test he reminds us all that he’s super fucking old.
Reminds me of Sheldon Cooper saying “I’m not crazy, my mother had me tested”
I’ve aced cognitive tests, the ones to see if you’re a genius, not to test for dementia. But I don’t go around talking about it because I’m not a loser. Bragging about taking dementia tests is wild.
They also probably didn’t make you keep taking them as an adult. I got a few of the “hey you’re probably neurodivergent let’s see how smart you are to better classify you” tests as a kid, but at 30 I haven’t had one in a long time because I’m 30 and that would be unnecessary.
I suppose there’s Mensa for adults, but again didn’t do that because I’m not a loser, and intelligence is what you do with it not the results of a test. I never bankrupted a casino with my intelligence, much less six times.
Here are some sample questions
- Recall five unrelated words, such as: “rose, chair, hand, blue, spoon.” (You will be asked to repeat them immediately after the test-taker gives them to you, and then again later, toward the end of the test.)
- Count backwards from 100 by seven. You also may be asked to calculate using currency, such as determining what change you might expect from your $20 bill if you were charged $13.55.
- How many words can you name in one minute that start with F? (Or you might be asked to name words that fit a category, like fruits.)
- Identify animals from pictures (such as a zebra or tiger).
- To test your visual perception, you may be asked to identify objects drawn within a jumble of other objects. Or, you may be asked to draw a picture (such as a cube) based on a drawing shown on the test form.
- The “clock test”—common in many dementia exams—is part of the MoCA dementia test. The test administrator will ask you to draw the face of a traditional (non-digital) clock, as well as to illustrate a specific time.
- Your ability to think abstractly may be tested by asking you to determine the relationships between objects—for instance, how trains and boats are similar to each other
So yeah… we have a president who is bragging about being able to draw a clock and tell you that trains and boats are both methods of transporting people. JFC we are so fucked.
3-7 seem like anyone can do it, the first depends on the amount of time it takes. I might forget them after a few minutes of thinking of other questions. 100 counting down by 7’s should be easy, but that doesn’t mean I wouldn’t do something like 100, 93, 86, 79, 72, 65, 58, 51… And while feeling anxious question myself if I just said 51 or 61 or something stupid. But that’s just test taking nervousness.
It has nothing to do with the answer being wrong, it’s how you get there. If you fail to subtract seven, realize your mistake, and correct it you have already passed the test. People with dementia will either start to count down by the wrong amount, start counting up, stuff like that. You are testing whether they can abstract verbal instructions and maintain a consistent train of thought while performing trivial calculations.
Counting down on your fingers one by one and only saying every seventh number would be considered a perfect score once you make it to about 63 if you don’t lose track of what you are doing or start forgetting numbers.
Okay so I wanted to try the fruits to see. It says 8-12 fruits gets you 1 point, 13+ gets you an extra point, less than 8, 0 points. (1 minute to name them)
So I started pretty easy and then started questioning myself:
Let’s say watermelon, orange, tangerine, peach, strawberry, cantaloupe, honeydew melon, blackberry, blueberry, apple, jackfruit, mango, lime, lemon… But I didn’t think of lemon/lime immediately, my brain started saying use Tomato and Cucumber as they both hold their seeds internally so they are “fruits”.
I get that they would likely count but when the pressures on, I imagine I could still fuck up something like that haha
None of that matters. You’ll see when you get older and they start giving you tests like that.
“Everyone thinks I’m fucking crazy and senile, but I’m not, I swear! And you have only my word to take for it!”
ACED IT!!! 🥴
It does make me chuckle when people are too dumb to realize they’re snitching on themselves.
