You're absolutely correct! People need to start talking that up abt Trump the "very stable genius". He's gotten who the president is/was wrong several times in recent months!! Trump displays his cognitive decline and personality disorder(s) on a daily basis. He and his minions have the nerve to accuse Biden of having cognitive decline?? Biden's been making the occasional malapropism for decades, so that's nothing new for him. Really, who among us hasn't occasionally mispoke?

I think that the judges don't want to give him any grounds at all to win an appeal. It still puts him above the law, but I'd like all of the cases to end with "guilty," with no further ado.

[@TheMangomelon789]

It’s the same reason trump had that exchange with the judge where the judge said something like “you’d love if I excluded you from the court room”. It would turn trump into even more of a martyr to those that support him and even to some of those that don’t but still think the trials against trump are politically motivated or who believe the office of president deserves greater leniency. It sucks because he should be held to the same standard as everyone else in the court room but realistically it’s not a good idea, unfortunately, because it could further undermine the eventual results of the trial and the results of the trial are paramount in a situation like this

So what’s your opinion on Biden and his cognitive ability?

[@jacekpaszkowski2000]

@@stevecraighead4816 He's given several speeches within the lsat two weeks at Valley Forge, Mother Emanuel Church, various news journalist reports all with no issues. Biden used to have a stuttering problem and he overcame it. He still stutters sometimes. In Concord New Hampshire smelly trump confused Nikki Haley and Nancy Pelosi. It's all over the news. He's confused Biden and Obama nearly a dozen times that we know of, he's said Biden is leading us into World War 2, that Republicans eat their young, that we need ID to buy bread, that if you pour a glass of water on a magnet, that's the end of the magnets. Actually Jimmy Kimmel did an experiment with the magnets. You should watch it, it's here on KZbin. Let's also not forget trump said people should intravenously administer disinfectant to cure Covid. Also that cognitive test he says he took, it was created by a neurologist from Montreal. The Washington Post wrote a story yesterday and it details how what trump said was on the exam is not really on it. The article said how nobody is asked to identify all animals. Everything trump says is a lie. In his four years in office it's been documented he told over 30,000 lies or misleading statements. Have you ever heard smelly trump tell his "sir" story? He even said his wife called him "sir" when he was attending one of his traveling circus events he calls rallies. I'm really sure melania called smelly trump "sir." She doesn't sleep with him in the same bed and would not sit with him in the same car after her mother's funeral, but sure she calls him "sir." I can forward you all the video clips of trump saying all this crazy stuff on a different platform.

[@AsmodeusMictian]

@@stevecraighead4816 I mean personally I think it's a good idea to stop electing decrepit ancient and wealthy white men to lead our "melting pot" of a nation. Seems like I'm very much in the minority though, sadly. We very much love the chaos, death, and destruction.

I would love for all government election candidates to have to take the SAT or some other qualifying test live on stage. Hell, I'd settle for "Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader?" The current system has let idiots like Trump pass through unnoticed, and that's unacceptable.

[@TF2CrunchyFrog]

Presidential candidates should've had to pass a SAT test, instead there should be a test on 1. ethics, 2. basics of the government system, history, geopolitics and similar. Once upon a time, reputation still counted for something. Regardless of if someone was actually convicted of fraud and crimes (which many rich people aren't, they just settle out of court), if _everyone knows_ a candidate has been a narcissist, habitual liar, sociopath, conman their whole life that perosn should be unfit for any office.

The Five Cognitive Tests (The 5-Cog) was developed as a screening instrument to detect cognitive decline among older adults. The 5-Cog is a group assessment tool for cognitive functions, which consists of five subtests (attention, memory, visuospatial, language, and reasoning). The MMSE Mini-Mental State Exam is often administered to diagnose Alzheimer's and takes about 10 minutes. the Montreal Cognitive Assessment MoCA is also used. Since he is making claims that he "aced" mental acuity tests, and proves he is up to the job, I dare him to show us his score. Or, like his taxes he promised to show, are the results under audit ?

[@eddapultstab2078]

If the president has full immunity, then Biden should be safe from Trump's BS.

[@davebartosh5]

The immunity thing is garbage. Nixon resigned as sitting President rather than be impeached, or indicted. Ordering the breaking in to the Watergate Hotel is far less of a crime than Insurrection. Those people Trump calls "hostages" testified in court they did it at Trump's command. As for the dummies who buy the notion that a President has to be impeached before indicted...A. read the constitution.. B. Nixon got a Pardon from Ford after he resigned to make sure he wouldn't be locked up. The notion that insurrection was part of Trump's offical job as President and is protected by immunity is...have fun with that one Orange Man. Go directly to jail. Do not Pass Go. Do not collect $200. Even this Supreme Court won't say Trump has immunity....guess why? Because then Biden DOES TOO lmao. So you have a point. 😉
