You don't give a cognitive test to someone you don't think needs it.

[–] Asafum@lemmy.world 11 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

While I agree especially for Obama, I'm not quite sure that holds with "we finally beat Medicare" Biden. Especially towards the end.

[–] Jiggle_Physics@quokk.au 3 points 37 minutes ago (1 children)

yes, but this is nothing new. Reagan was basically cognitively absent in a significant portion of his last term, and many believe his wife essentially took the role of the presidency. This has been talking point among democrats for decades now, so there was a lot of "revenge" coping going on with Biden. His cognitive state is not truly known. The books, like Tappers, have provable false information them. However those within the west wing at that time have things against their stated evaluation on Biden's competency. We, unfortunately, have no idea how bad it was, and all the outpouring of statements against him, and in his defense, are too full of intentional disinformation to really know, at this point. I imagine that some years from now there will be information that comes to light that cuts through a lot of this obfuscation, and we will have closer answers. Right now too many parties have interest in it being not known. I think if there was clear records of his decline in the records from the white house, Trump would be parading them around. So we shall see.

He could actually speak coherently. Are we seriously comparing a couple gaffes with a constant stream of sentence fragments?

[–] RoidingOldMan@lemmy.world 2 points 5 minutes ago

Biden's final debate performance was pretty awful. Seemed lost a couple times. Nothing like the guy who had debated Paul Ryan years before. It was so bad that he had to drop out.

Hes so damn dumb he thinks it's an accomplishment.

Parking for Red White & Blue Thrift store only

Is it some sort of symbolism for the state of the US government?

[–] Jhex@lemmy.world 37 points 2 hours ago

too dumb to realize that is not a brag...

[–] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 52 points 3 hours ago (2 children)

Please tell me this is real

[–] officermike@lemmy.world 58 points 2 hours ago (3 children)

It is.

Here's a link to a site that mirrors everything he posts in his safe space.

Damn, Poe's law is just the default these days.

[–] danekrae@lemmy.world 22 points 2 hours ago

Ho ly shit.

[–] ZeroCool@piefed.ca 7 points 1 hour ago

I had no idea that site existed, thank you for the new resource!

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 9 points 2 hours ago

It’s always real.

[–] saltesc@lemmy.world 20 points 2 hours ago

I love the subconscious irony of, red bad; blue good.

[–] shittydwarf@sh.itjust.works 26 points 2 hours ago (2 children)

A gorilla also passed that cognitive test

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 16 points 2 hours ago

Well, not just any gorilla, but yes. She would have been a better president.

[–] crandlecan@mander.xyz 6 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Source? I want this to be true, so bad 😭

[–] shittydwarf@sh.itjust.works 11 points 2 hours ago

Koko the gorilla passed the test using sign language

[–] BigMacHole@thelemmy.club 7 points 2 hours ago

As an Alpha Free Thinking Lifelong Republican Voter I can CONFIRM First Hand how DIFFICULT these Tests are to Complete! I STILL haven't Completed One!

[–] protist@retrofed.com 14 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago) (2 children)

Dude's been bragging about passing MOCAs for ten years now. I'd be interested to know what his actual score was though, because if I'm sure of anything it's that Donald Trump is not a reliable historian.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 4 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

I don’t know that it’s scored as such. If you can’t identify the camel and the lion, or draw a square, you probably don’t need a percentage.

[–] ACindyDerg@piefed.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 hour ago

Draw an analog clock face

Hilarious but 0% chance of being real

Edit: What the actual fuck

[–] Hiro8811@lemmy.world 1 points 9 minutes ago

Pfahaha, well he is the first one required to take one so...

[–] reddig33@lemmy.world 17 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago) (2 children)

It’s real. Regrettably, reality crossed over into idiocracy a long time ago.

Are you fucking kidding me

[–] chaitae3@lemmy.world 4 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Out of curiosity, it says 4 something p.m. - is that his local timezone or mine?

[–] ZeroCool@piefed.ca 2 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

Yours, I assume. It was posted about two and a half hours ago. Which would be about 10:20am EDT.

[–] thagoat@lemmy.dbzer0.com 19 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Say it with me... "Da-men-Sha"

[–] crandlecan@mander.xyz 4 points 2 hours ago

What? Huh? WHO ARE YOU?? WHY ARE YOU IN MY SAFE SPACE?? NURSE!!!

[–] tanisnikana@lemmy.world 5 points 2 hours ago

Do not ask for whom the bone bones, it bones for we, and we are absolutely boned.

[–] Catalyst_A@quokk.au 11 points 3 hours ago

He believes his own bull shit.

[–] bright@piefed.social 5 points 2 hours ago (2 children)

Is this a real post of his?

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 5 points 2 hours ago

It’s always real. The pee tape is real.

[–] A_norny_mousse@piefed.zip 0 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

Could very well be; except it's not dated so we don't know how old it is. He's definitely been bragging - on camera - about taking these "intelligence" tests, and how super easy they were for him. Some years ago. If you haven't seen it yet, watch it, now!
