Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!

Oh boy!
He aced a test that only shows... Fuck here's the test:
Recite these words back to me: person, woman, man, camera, TV
Harris could hammer that one home! "Here's the cognitive test Trump brags about."
Seven years is a long time in one's 70s. May be almost zero difference, may be drooling on the carpet.
OUCH.
I can't pass up the opportunity to point out that that list of words was not part of the cognitive assessment that he "aced." He forgot that list. Person, man, woman, camera, and TV were just objects in his field of vision at the moment he was speaking in the interview.
I've been pointing out his dementia symptoms for years now. Why does it still feel so shitty to be proved right by time? :-/
I saw it happening to my mother. No one else did or they didn't want to see it. Its part of the reason why I was cast out.
So sorry to hear. It happened to my father, too, but we all saw it.
It was more to it than just her mental decline that caused me to go no contact on that day. I was told I was the reason why my son was autistic and I didn't discipline him enough. Also on that day they told my daughter she was going to hell for having a psychology degree. My mother regularly through the years referred to my daughter as a bastard because we were not married when she was conceived. Like I said the problem was larger than my mothers dementia but that is what triggered it. The oncoming dementia and her sudden inability to keep her lies straight is how I figured out she was abusing my son.
