There is no Russian city called Leningrad anymore, but apparently no one bothered to tell Donald Trump.

How can you tell if someone that dumb has dementia?

[-] selkiesidhe@sh.itjust.works 43 points 18 hours ago

But no concern about him being a rapist and a pedophile and GIVING ALASKA TO RUSSIA???

[-] t_chalco@lemmy.world 8 points 17 hours ago

Resident. Just let it happen. I don't know how folks would actually respond.

[-] Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 70 points 22 hours ago

During his campaign last year, Trump thought that Johnny Carson was still alive and available to take back the Tonight Show.

Not a peep from the media or even Lemmy. It was, "Biden senile."

[-] neoman4426@fedia.io 38 points 21 hours ago

He thinks Hannibal Lecter is real, dead, and a fan of his. He's obviously fictional, neither the character in any media he's been portrayed in or any of the actors who portrayed him have died, and the character's second most well known trait (you know, after the whole cannibal thing) is his absolute disdain for rude, vulgar people, and none of the actors have displayed a fondness for Donald either. His closing message before the election was about how much he loved deceased golfer Arnold Palmer's apparently enormous dick.

[-] AngryRobot@lemmy.world 24 points 18 hours ago

He kept bringing up Hannibal Lector because he doesnt know the difference between an insane asylum and political asylum.

[-] bear 10 points 20 hours ago

His campaign really fell apart there near the end. It was way worse than pretty much everyone realizes. He would just abruptly quit ranting and start dancing to the same song repeatedly.

[-] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 2 points 9 hours ago

And it ended up not mattering even a little bit.

[-] anomnom@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 hours ago

Which makes me constantly switch between wonder if the voting was really legit, and how dumb this electorate is. Both are depressing and make me want to flee the US.

[-] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

I don't doubt that there was some shenanigans, but the defeat was so total and immediate in all the battleground states I question whether they could have rigged it THAT well. I was expecting a months-long slugfest.

[-] Plum@lemmy.world 182 points 1 day ago

.......... sparks?

I hate it here. Fucker has been riddled with syphilis and shitting himself since the 1980s and we allowed him to take the presidency twice.

[-] TrojanRoomCoffeePot@lemmy.world 39 points 23 hours ago

Don't forget the child rapes.

[-] Plum@lemmy.world 38 points 22 hours ago

I won't shut up about it.

I had to explain to my father that, because of the wording of the new york penal code, the only reason that trump isn't a convicted rapist is that the defendant could not assert on the stand whether Donald Trump penetrated her with his penis or his finger. Digital rape is a sexual assault charge. Rape needs a penis.

[-] Serinus@lemmy.world 12 points 19 hours ago

I wonder why she couldn't tell the difference. South Park again more on point than expected.

[-] Eh_I@lemmy.world 29 points 1 day ago

Smoldering dementia

Bush fire dementia

[-] paraphrand@lemmy.world 10 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago)

Are there citations for this? I’m genuinely asking, for context and so I can feel comfortable repeating it.

Edit: I don’t understand why this deserves a downvote. Im not defending Trump. I’m not trolling. I legit wanna hear stories about Trump shitting himself and the signs he has syphilis.

[-] Plum@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago

The poop thing I'll have to find the article. The syphilis is bold speculation from me and me alone.

[-] Randomgal@lemmy.ca 1 points 9 hours ago

You ask for logic in a place of feelings. People are here to hate, not tot think.

[-] OrteilGenou@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

Excellent typo

[-] snekerpimp@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago

That evidently resonates with republican voters

[-] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 16 points 1 day ago

he speaks to their cognitive ability

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 7 points 21 hours ago

"Act like a dumbshit and they'll treat you like an equal."

The cons really took that quote from JR "Bob" Dobbs to heart...

[-] stringere@sh.itjust.works 2 points 11 hours ago

They lack the slack for that.

[-] cmoney@lemmy.world 65 points 1 day ago

The president's age was all the news could talk about until Biden dropped out. Suddenly it wasn't a problem anymore.

[-] PhilipTheBucket@piefed.social 15 points 20 hours ago

Also! Inflation and whether or not it was the president's fault, and all the Palestine protests and how Democrats (only Democrats) were facing a lot of heat for their support of Israel. Almost as if our media is corrupted by partisan influences that are trying to mislead and influence people, and it works shockingly well.

[-] Octavio@lemmy.world 5 points 19 hours ago

Meanwhile trump is 2.5 years younger than Biden was when he dropped out, and has 3.5 years to go. So, the president's age should be an even bigger issue then it was then, instead of disappearing altogether as an issue.

[-] barnaclebutt@lemmy.world 26 points 21 hours ago

Not surprising. Anyways, release the Epstein files you old demented child fucker.

[-] MedicPigBabySaver@lemmy.world 72 points 1 day ago

Child rapist has Alzheimer's... duh.

Motherfucker should be removed from office. Between bootlickers & insanely spineless politicians it'll never happen.

[-] leftzero@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 22 hours ago

Alzheimer's

Neurosyphilis, probably.

[-] ApeNo1@lemmy.world 54 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Why are we using not having dementia as the intellectual benchmark for someone to lead a country. Dude can’t read or do basic maths let alone understand more complex economics or geopolitics.

Even when he fails the dementia test we will resort to simply checking for a pulse, and I bet once he dies it will be covered up for as long as possible.

[-] Zombiepirate@lemmy.world 11 points 23 hours ago

You know, I wonder how far they'll take medical technicalities in the future. Could they keep the current SCOTUS on the bench for 200 years as a morbid ship of Theseus because it's a lifetime appointment? Just replace their organs with machinery as they fail?

What if Roberts' brain-in-a-jar occasionally drifted into sentience just to mouthlessly scream about how disappointed he is that nobody respects the court anymore? It would at least make me feel a little better.

[-] Tower@lemmy.zip 17 points 23 hours ago
[-] FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca 20 points 1 day ago

I've been "concerned" about his mental health since 2015

[-] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 14 points 1 day ago

I was never concerned ..... I always knew he was an idiot ... now, not only is he an idiot .. he's an old demented idiot

And the best part is ... the best and brightest of America decided he was the man for the top job!

[-] VeryVito@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 day ago

No, “the best and brightest” just make up a much smaller percentage of the electorate than was necessary.

At this point I’m also not convinced the convicted fraudster and his white-supremacist gang of ghouls simply flat-out rigged the election while the “both sides” folks tried hard not to notice.

[-] BigMacHole@sopuli.xyz 16 points 1 day ago

LoL Stupid LIBTarDs! I DIDNT care when he RAPED CHILDREN ON EPSTEIN ISLAND so WHY would I care when he HAS DIMINTIA!

-Republicans who made fun of Biden's Dementia!

[-] marsza@lemmy.cafe 6 points 21 hours ago

Was it “the Cold War never ended,” because that’s actually true 🤣

[-] don@lemmy.ca 13 points 1 day ago

A White House spokesperson wrote the following statement, in part: “Joe Biden started this brutal war, and President Trump is trying to stop the killing.”

No, Dementia Donnie is standing in the nearby carwash wrapped in tissue paper trying to play checkers with a rubber chicken as one of play pieces.

[-] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

Corporate News Sewers: Hey now that trump is predisent again, doesn't it seem like he’s so demented people should be concerned?

Everyone not a MAGAt: (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

I've been reading the "Politician I Don't Like Has Dementia" for 40 fucking years.

Please either put up or shut up.

[-] hyperhopper@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

It's even worse when one side in it's entirety says "this person has dementia and is unfit to lead", then immediately chooses to vote for the person that's roughly the same age instead of somebody two decades younger.

When the progressive or leftist or liberal group says it, they mean it. When the right wing media says it, they are just repeating the normal propaganda news cycle.

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

When the progressive or leftist or liberal group says it, they mean it.

Biden, Sanders, Trump... :-/

Like, it's clear the issue isn't simply age.

two decades younger.

We need somebody four decades younger than the current president.

[-] queermunist@lemmy.ml 1 points 18 hours ago

Yeah, because this is a gerantocacy. A lot of politicians in both parties are too old and they have been for a long time.

[-] Formfiller@lemmy.world 4 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago)

I thought the long winded rambling about medians in the middle of his conference declaring martial law on Washington was a pretty big red flag

[-] jordanlund@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

He... he thinks he CAN get Moscow and "Leningrad" for free? 🤔 You don't trade cities like sports players...

[-] ieatpwns@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

The first part of that headline really excited me for a second

Petrograd gang
