Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

(the detail is that he's talking about how she self-identifies rather than her appearance itself, but that would ruin a perfectly good nottheonion moment)

TBH, I'm really glad he's dumb enough to try and speak at events like this. No one in his life ever holds him to account for his words and decisions, and someone finally did and his cognitive decline went into overdrive.

If only we could get CNN and Fox to speak to him this way during debates.

He is confused thinks Harris is Hailey. Saw that comment on another post and thought that makes so much sense. He fucking weird and a confused old man.

No he's not. Kamala is open about her Indian heritage... https://youtube.com/watch?v=xz7rNOAFkgE

There is nothing wrong with mentioning her heritage that she openly identifies with. However, being so focused on race at all is just disgusting in general.

Her Indian heritage is so well documented (https://people.com/all-about-kamala-harris-parents-donald-harris-shyamala-gopalan-7974352 as an example) that it's a bit disingenuous to claim that Trump is confused based on this fact. It's also well known that after her parents divorced that she stayed with her Mother primarily. It could even make sense that she identifies more as Indian rather than "black" (Jamaican in this case)...

TL;DR: He's not confused, he's just an asshole.

That's maybe the best thing about this farce of an election.

There is at least one basic guideline for being president now: the ability to think coherently, and we're starting to normalize publicizing very real concerns about 80 year-old brains doing what 80 year-old brains do.

Just ONE fucking time I want to see him held accountable for ANYTHING. It just seems that he's lived his life in this magical consequence-free bubble, that isn't even fully explained by being rich or being the president.

I have no idea how he manages it, but it's almost like he could shit on his desk in the oval office during a live address, and half the population of the US would still cheer and applaud

Same, but after 10 years of watching him get away with everything, this is what we have to settle for unfortunately.
