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".

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.

[-] Leather@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago

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. 🤦‍♂️

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Dropping F-bombs to the press, calling AOC stupid, and Schumer a Palestinian this morning. Dude’s gonna be shitposting the whole way to The Hague. Can’t wait for the next two days of NATO summit highlights from this very stable genius.

[-] IckabodKobain@feddit.online 20 points 1 month ago

His brain is decaying mush. He'll be shitposting from his deadbed no doubt.

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.

[-] numlok@lemmy.world 67 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] Machinist@lemmy.world 21 points 1 month ago

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.

How many of her teachers said she was the dumbest student they'd ever had?

[-] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago

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.

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.

Someone told him that she's also polling better than he is, lol:

Ocasio-Cortez submitted on Saturday that Trump’s decision to bomb three Iranian nuclear sites was ground for impeachment, arguing that his “disastrous decision to bomb Iran without authorization is a grave violation of the Constitution and Congressional War Powers.”

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 64 points 1 month ago

Why does the president keep bragging about his passing of dementia tests‽ How can he not understand that that is admitting to needing them?

[-] J92@lemmy.world 30 points 1 month ago

I just want to hear someone from the press pool shout, "you've already said this, Donald."

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.

You gotta love the fragility of these people who claim they are emotionally stable, unshakable, epic masculine geniuses.

Like shit dude if you're so tuff maybe stop melting down over the most tempered criticisms of your policies.

i feel like "wild marathon rant" would just apply any time he opens his fat bullshit spewing face anus, and can be considered a given

[-] kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world 48 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

He really thinks this cognitive test he took is an IQ test or in any way measures intelligence doesn't he? It checks for signs of dementia. It doesn't have anything on it that is complicated, measures knowledge or critical thinking skills. It's basic association, memory, and recognition testing. A neurotypical 6 year old can do it.

[-] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 22 points 1 month ago

His style of communication makes a lot more sense when you realize he doesn’t give a shit about convincing other people about things. He says it out loud to convince himself.

[-] kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world 26 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Unfortunately, he's a clinical narcissist, so he really does genuinely have the ability to completely delude himself over his own superiority regardless of all evidence to the contrary. He genuinely believes he's a genius, an intimidating presence, a great deal maker, a popular person with the general public, that he won all 3 elections, and even that he's seen as a sex symbol. He does not live in objective reality in regards to his own attributes, or much else for that matter. It's all delusion. And that's before the dementia started setting in.

What a disaster it was! 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.

So does acing a cognitive test means you have cognitive decline or not?

[-] thedruid@lemmy.world 34 points 1 month ago

Bragging about it does

[-] fluxion@lemmy.world 17 points 1 month ago

In this case: yes.

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.

AOC vs Trump. I want to see a neutral third party administer IQ tests. Go on, Donny. Take the test. Get owned.

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.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 18 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

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.

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

I think Taco should have his diaper changed more frequently. Diaper rash can make babies cranky.

[-] Whats_your_reasoning@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago

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.

This reads like an Xbox live message.

the guy has the vocabulary of a child

[-] frustrated_phagocytosis@fedia.io 14 points 1 month ago

When he talks it reminds me of my uncle, he was oxygen deprived at birth and has significant intellectual disabilities. He is similar to an 8 year old in a 70 year old body. Him and Trump have the same repetitive focus on topics, lack of situational awareness, and impossible conversations that always get derailed into incomprehensible statements without context.

The angrier he gets the more unrelated imagined slights and enemies he pulls into his rants. One of these days he's going to be raving against Kamala Harris and toss in a reference to the very mean boys who bullied him during elementary school.

“As the Doctor in charge said, ‘President Trump ACED it,’ meaning, I got every answer right.

It’s weird how he always trots out this line of bullshit. It’s sad that his supporters believe him.

He must be a fucking genius. Yeah, that’s it. /s

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 17 points 1 month ago

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.
