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!

The sentence:

If you think a dementia screening test is very difficult, you may have early dementia.

“It’s not easy!” he told supporters on Saturday, saying only 2 percent of his followers could pass it.

the closest thing to the truth he has ever spouted.

Jesus,imagine if democrat told their voters that 98% of them were too addled to pass a cognitive test.

Fuck, you try to explain math or science to someone and get called arrogant as a democrat but I guarantee republicans will be just fine with what Trump said about them here.

No self respect.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 18 points 9 months ago

Yeah, but that's a highball estimate.

[–] nikt@lemmy.ca 86 points 9 months ago

Thank you. Nobody deserves having to click on a huffpost link.

[–] SidewaysHighways@lemmy.world 36 points 9 months ago

Thanks for taking that one for the team, cousin!

[–] paddirn@lemmy.world 26 points 9 months ago

Such a dumb clickbait headline. If it's such a simple sentence, put it in the damn headline.

I may have alzheimers but at least i don't have alzheimers!

What is this Al's Hammer everybody keeps talking about?

[–] CobblerScholar@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Thank you, if your article can be summarized in one sentence then it's a shitty article

It looks like he wasn't expecting that enema.

A million to one shot, doc, a million to one

[–] mozz@mbin.grits.dev 60 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

But what was the sentence?

WHAT WAS THE SENTENCE? Gee whiz, I better click the fuck out of this thing so I can find out.

Edit: It was "If you think a dementia screening test is very difficult, you may have early dementia."

[–] EdibleFriend@lemmy.world 43 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Fuck off with your clickbait title bullshit.

And so does OP for seeing something like this and thinking it was worth posting

[–] littlebluespark@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Your username makes me wonder if you're not a puffer fish. It would explain why no one's successfully eaten you yet.
