This has to be out of context bullshit. Someone running for president again can’t be that dense.

“The first questions are very easy, the last questions are much more difficult. Like a memory question,” Trump preened in the interview. “It’s like, you’ll go, ‘Person. Woman. Man. Camera. TV.’ So they’d say, ‘Could you repeat that.’ So I said, ‘Yeah. So it’s person. Woman. Man. Camera. TV.’”

DO YOU UNDERSTAND HOW FUCKING STUPID THIS MAN IS?

Yes, I do! That people want him to be the president is what’s so troubling.

Yeah, are we all stuck in some endless emperor’s new clothes shit.

Can anyone honestly argue that this guy isn’t either (a) super fucking dumb, (b) partially mentally deteriorated, or © both?

Maybe not. Maybe he’s an evil genius. He could possibly be the present…again…

Watching American politics makes me question my grasp of reality.

Your grasp of reality is fine but I would guess you haven’t been in any religious circles for a while.

People still wrapped up in religion don’t realize their values are hardly shared through all of society and are taught anyone outside of the circle are a breed apart. They are going to hell. Some evangelicals get misguided into thinking they can ‘save’ the heathens and that’s where we get anti-abortion shit but that’s not really what Christianity teaches.

The problems is there is just too many of them. You have all these people with these conflicting values saying they are inherently different than the non-believer so we can’t ever come together.

The “hilarious” part of that exchange was it’s a memory test, so they give you a series of unrelated words (velvet, cracker, sleet, grandfather, doorway). Not only was the best example that his stupid stupid brain could come up with all related words, they were all (except maybe tv) things he could see at the time!

There’s almost always a monitor on set, which is basically a tv. So, yah. No exceptions.

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!
