    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.

      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.

      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.

              My brother and I noted the propensity for some people born into wealth to be attractive as well. Braces when you’re 10 and a dermatologist when you’re 13 can have massive, lasting impacts decades later. Just a bit more invisible privilege those born to money get.

        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”.

              Yeah. There’s a correlation vs causation problem here that I don’t really have the answers to.

              In other words I think that’s reductive.

              Hillary was Hillary and didn’t take Trump seriously.

              Kamala was run without much planning and forethought.

              AOC might be a woman, and I take your point that may not be in her favor, but she has many virtues that may outweigh that disadvantage.

    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.

        Unfortunately, he’s a clinical narcissist, so he really does genuinely have the ability to complete deluded 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 he dementia started setting in.

      How cute, people still think Trump will ever suffer repercussions for his actions.

      And for the record, it is enshrined in our Constitution that the US doesn’t recognize the authority of any foreign body such as the ICC and in fact has laws on the books authorizing military strikes against the Hague if a US citizen is being detained there. Even if Trump were to face a trial, it would be in a US court in front of a US jury.

            He is minting his own currency, which he is using as a vehicle to personally raise billions of dollars, while holding an office in the public trust. His life after the Presidency (assuming he relinquishes it on time in the first place) will be far better than the lives of the people his goons have kidnapped.

              That doesn’t mean he’ll get to do what he wants. He loves playing golf and sexually assaulting women. Soon enough he won’t be able to force his body to do either of those things.

              And don’t forget the superPAC money covering legal and other personal expenses

              • I mean, that 747 has to have more in maintenance paid than it’s worth, legal expenses covered don’t increase wealth, and did he really sell that many of those sneakers?

                I think he has been lying about being a billionaire forever, but what I’ve seen from the (over)valuation of his truth shares it definitely gets him there.

        This is legit why people started to believe in Hell- to think there is some kind of justice in the world even if there doesn’t seem to be any. Before the late BCs, most people in the Mediterranean didn’t believe in Hell, at least as a place of eternal torment for the wicked. They believed in an afterlife that was pretty bleak, but everyone went there. The ancient Greeks and certain Jewish sects began to imagine separate portions of the shared afterlife for particularly evil of righteous people to be punished or rewarded in after death. For the Greeks, these were Tartarus and Elysium, and for the Jewish sects these were Gehenna and Paradise. These concepts arose, particularly within Judaism, as a way to answer the question “why do good things happen to bad people, and why do bad things happen to good people?” And the answer was that the good would be rewarded and the evil tormented in the end, even if things look bad in this life. These ideas were floating around in the time and place Christianity arose, and became incorporated into it.

          Does Zoroastrianism not figure into this somewhere? It’s generally considered an influence on Judaism that is older than Judaism & ancient Greek tradition. They also have an idea of divine justice in the afterlife with concepts roughly corresponding to heaven, purgatory, hell.

          Neither Zoroastrianism nor Judaism consider “hell” a place of eternal torment, more a place where spirits confront their actions to cleanse & purify themselves before reuniting with the divine.

      As someone who works in psychiatry and frequently administers cognitive tests, his comments are hilarious.

      The hardest question on the ACE-III is getting someone to remember a name and address for about 15-20 minutes whilst you get them to do the other tasks - mostly repeating sentences after you, naming objects, following simple two-step commands and other things which anyone without dementia should be able to do just fine.

      “Aceing” the test is just doing things that pretty much anyone without cognitive impairment should already be able to do.

        My favourite part was when he was bragging about remembering ‘person, man, woman, camera, tv’ when those would absolutely not have been the words in the test. The word list will always be unrelated things (like daisy, piano, horse, book, etc), since related words would defeat the purpose.

        He was obviously just naming things in his field of vision at the time. It’s such a weird thing to repeatedly boast and lie about.

    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.

      Trump “completely loses it” all the time because he seems to have complete undying loyalty from everyone around him. There are no negative consequences for these outbursts.

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

    “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

      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.

    Everyone should pray for a heart murmur for the Orange turd. A murmur, or other little things like that help people people realize how close 90 is. And knowing that 80+ year olds make up a tiny percent of the population begs a big bigly question… Where do they all go?

      That would be nice. Lightning would be better. Its looking like a fatal fall may do it. One cannot outrun the reaper, and his decline has been visible for the past decade. Ten years ago he was stupid and cruel but not obviously suffering from dementia

      But don’t be discouraged because for older men there’s a sweet sweet reward:

      Hmmmm but if they all hate you. I don’t know man…

        Fantastic! But we need more granularity. What year within that 18-64 range is the crossover where odds turn into our favor! If I’m going to die early, at least I may finally get the advantage before I ho
