Can someone confirm this is real? I refuse to watch this piece of shit any more than I have to.

At least you don't have a woman in office, huh America?

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 3 points 33 minutes ago* (last edited 26 minutes ago) (2 children)

Hillary won the popular vote, so the "you're too misogynistic to elect a woman" take does not have a basis in reality. Also, you might have noticed that AOC is filling football stadiums in red states just by being willing to speak.

Kamala lost because people got poorer for four years under Biden and she very publicly affirmed she'd change nothing about his policies. Hell, she didn't even put a platform on her website until two weeks before the election. Kamala was a legitimately bad candidate.

[–] Newsteinleo@infosec.pub 0 points 6 minutes ago

She was a bad candidate in 2020, when she ran in Tue primary

[–] _stranger_@lemmy.world 2 points 7 minutes ago* (last edited 7 minutes ago)

If Hillary or Kamala had been men they would have won. If Kamala had been white I don't think that would have been enough to get her elected.

But if Kamala had more than a hundred days to campaign, then she might have had a fair shot.

lol. But Sleepy Joe. FJB. I dunno. Fuck maga, trump and Elon.

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 0 points 32 minutes ago (1 children)

Sleepy Joe was very publicly cognitively impaired for years. I don't think "our guy is as bad as their guy" is a good point to make on this one.

[–] _stranger_@lemmy.world 1 points 6 minutes ago* (last edited 4 minutes ago)

I don't remember him saying things like "Mattel is a country". I remember him agreeing to do a debate while sick, which was stupid.

I think the difference between a very bad day and mentally impaired is a lot wider than you speculate.

That said I agree with you only because he DID step back from the race, and had he done that A LOT FUCKING EARLIER then Kamala might have been able to dodge the bus she got thrown under.

[–] Tattorack@lemmy.world 10 points 3 hours ago

Trump is one of those guys you find on one of those "lol shit Americans say" videos where someone approaches "random" people on the street to ask them history or geography questions.

Except he's your president, and because your country is "nice" enough to have the world exchange currency we all have to suffer for it.

[–] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 7 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

He's mixing Mattel and Malta...

[–] Cephalotrocity@biglemmowski.win 26 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

"Trump is not cognitively there".

So, he's the perfect representative for the American people.

[–] _stranger_@lemmy.world 1 points 1 minute ago

His cabal of gamification experts discovered that the flaw in the Electoral college system could be exploited IF they could find a common denominator for all the low population areas with disproportionately high representation in the EC. Turns out it's hate. Who'd have thought.

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 2 points 30 minutes ago

In 2016, I'd have argued he isn't.

But now, after what we've seen out of America since, he is absolutely representative of who we are at our core in this country. Just wait until the supply chain breaks down from tariffs and people start to see empty shelves. You're REALLY going to see who the American people are then.

[–] BillDaCatt@lemmy.world 76 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

Back before the election, Trump spoke about the fictional character Hannibal Lecter, at least twice, like he was a real person. Trump was never cognitively there!

[–] cobysev@lemmy.world 59 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

He kept talking about Hannibal Lecter because someone mentioned asylum for immigrants, and the only "asylum" he knows is an insane asylum.

So he started talking about Hannibal Lecter every time he mentioned immigrants, equating them with insane cannibals who want to eat you.

Is there a term for Pavlov's dog but done to yourself?

[–] Genius@lemmy.zip 14 points 6 hours ago

Autohypnosis

[–] Merva@sh.itjust.works 6 points 5 hours ago

And only peope who were as extremely stupid as himself would have ever realised that connection.

[–] ziggurat@lemmy.world 11 points 6 hours ago

Before DJT had symptoms of his father's Alzheimer's, which is a decade since now since it has shown on TV, he was even back then, how he calls it, a low IQ individual. And a racist

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 4 points 4 hours ago

Maybe they successfully groomed a better younger asset & this one has done its part & now gets polonium garnish.

[–] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 80 points 9 hours ago (5 children)

No shit, that's why he signs whatever they put in front of him, and project 2025 has been followed almost to a T. He doesn't give a crap about anything in project 2025. But he's mentally in lala land and they've been hiding his declining health for a while.

[–] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 25 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

Can someone sneak in an executive order instituting free basic healthcare and education for all, in one of the bundles of paper he signs?

[–] Rusty@lemmy.ca 1 points 12 minutes ago

Just call them something like "Repeal Obamacare and institute Trumpcare Act" and "Great American Education Act' and he'll sign them without reading.

[–] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 18 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

I dunno, give it a shot. Maybe he'll just sign it and go for a big mac.

[–] entwine413@lemm.ee 46 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

They haven't been hiding it well. His dementia was apparent even in 2016.

[–] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 21 points 9 hours ago

It's not just dementia anymore. That's just a symptom, whatever it is has progressed a lot.

[–] _druid@sh.itjust.works 12 points 8 hours ago

It's why they want to get rid of PBS, he wants to be the most famous puppet.

My brother in law, without skipping a beat: "obviously he meant Micronesia"

My reply, apparently not enough to get a response: "So you're okay with a president who's so cognitively vacant he can't tell the difference between two very different sounding words?"

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 10 minutes ago

100% guarantee that Trump doesn't know what Micronesia is

[–] Zero22xx@lemmy.blahaj.zone 30 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

"obviously he meant Micronesia"

These people are goners. Completely in lala land now. Trump could have an episode where he sits on stage digging into his diaper and eating his own shit and these people would go "Trump is a very smart man returning those nutrients to his body" and they'd all start eating their own shit too.

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 1 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

Don't you mean scooping his diaper since it's all liquid. I doubt he has a solid bowel movement since his cocaine abuse permanently damaged his intestines

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 2 points 4 hours ago

Obviously got his countries mixed up - it's the Microplastesia that is invading every bit of USA (and indeed the world).

Man thought the Barbie movie was a documentary and is ready to nuke the country Mattel for making a woke movie in their country.
