He really does not understand that he just posted that Obama & Biden were completely sane. No one was questioning their ability to function in the real world. He had 3 MOCA tests to track his ability to function. AKA the patient needs to be assessed often to verify his mental state. This is the stupidest boast, it makes him look even stupider. Give him another MOCA test.

They used an unflattering picture of Biden here, but it's funny they apparently couldn't find any bad pictures of Obama to use.

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 3 points 13 minutes ago

My question is, who makes these graphics for him, and how much are they paid?

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

[–] Asafum@lemmy.world 16 points 2 hours ago (2 children)

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

[–] MiddleAgesModem@lemmy.world 1 points 3 minutes ago

More than a little ridiculous to claim Biden's misspeaking during the debate is in any way comparable to "they're eating cats and dogs".

[–] Jiggle_Physics@quokk.au 7 points 1 hour ago (2 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.

TBF I think he was facing some really bad cancer diagnosis and working one of the most public and stressful in existence. He might not have been up for the task rather than not been with it.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 5 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

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

[–] RoidingOldMan@lemmy.world 5 points 1 hour ago (2 children)

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.

[–] MiddleAgesModem@lemmy.world 1 points 7 minutes ago

He never seemed "lost", he seemed hoarse.

[–] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 2 points 18 minutes ago (1 children)

He looked like a tired old man in that debate. Good grief, i will never understand why everyone points at that debate as if he wasn't lucid.

[–] MiddleAgesModem@lemmy.world 1 points 7 minutes ago

as if he wasn’t lucid.

Simply doesn't fit the narrative that the only acceptable old politician is Bernie.

[–] the_riviera_kid@lemmy.world 89 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

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 44 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] Malyca@lemmy.zip 1 points 44 minutes ago

It's almost pitiful, if you can muster up pity for an actual monster

[–] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 60 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

Please tell me this is real

[–] officermike@lemmy.world 68 points 3 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 26 points 3 hours ago

Ho ly shit.

[–] ZeroCool@piefed.ca 10 points 3 hours ago

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

I almost want to post a meme response, but the comparison would be an insult to Garak.

[–] shittydwarf@sh.itjust.works 34 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

A gorilla also passed that cognitive test

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 18 points 3 hours ago

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

[–] crandlecan@mander.xyz 7 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] shittydwarf@sh.itjust.works 14 points 3 hours ago

Koko the gorilla passed the test using sign language

[–] saltesc@lemmy.world 22 points 3 hours ago

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

[–] protist@retrofed.com 18 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago) (5 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.

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!

[–] HumanOnEarth@lemmy.ca 10 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago) (2 children)

Hilarious but 0% chance of being real

Edit: What the actual fuck

[–] Hiro8811@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

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

[–] reddig33@lemmy.world 23 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 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 6 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] ZeroCool@piefed.ca 5 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

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

[–] tanisnikana@lemmy.world 8 points 3 hours ago

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

[–] thagoat@lemmy.dbzer0.com 21 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

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