Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. 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.
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.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
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.

The correct response anytime he opens his anus...sorry I mean mouth, mouth.
Over here, we call that verbal diarrhoea
Body check this fucking asshole already.
Dafqu?
I mean that's just levels of stupid that can't be blamed on dementia.
Hopefully she's not the only one who bit him.
I know we've joked about it for awhile now, but seriously, this is dementia right?
I feel like people throw the dementia diagnosis at every stupid thing he says, when it's probably just a lifelong habit of being a belligerent dumbass with money.
Look at videos of him speaking in the 80s, after 9/11, during his 2016 campaign, and now. He's always been a narcissistic prick, and was showing clear signs of decline in 2016 to 2020, but it's worse now.
We don't have to guess about these things, we have documented records of him showing his best face throughout the years, and it's clear he's becoming less articulate and having less control (or desire to control) what he says. The latter may certainly be choice, but the former doesn't really look like it. This isn't a matter of him using simpler language to appeal to his audience, this is him having less capability to form coherent thoughts.
Yeah as a helper to 3 different elderly dementia relatives, it varies day to day and sleep schedules affect it. Also sunlight and mornings seemed to be the most coherent/aware times in general. Sun-downing is very much a thing and made evenings some of the hardest moments.
Why not both?
Yes, he's sundowning and smiling more, but sometimes has clarity. Unfortunately, he has nazis in his cabinet that are also evil, but young.
Joked?
It's been obvious dementia to those familiar with it since like 2015, probably before. It's now late stage dementia.
He's not quite there yet ... but he's coming close to the edge.
A person in the later stages of dementia may get worse slowly over many months. During this time they will usually:
- become more frail
- have more frequent falls or infections
- have problems eating, drinking and swallowing
- be more likely to need urgent medical care
- become less mobile
- sleep more
- talk less often.
A person in the later stages of dementia is likely to have a weak immune system. This means they have a higher risk of getting infections, which in some cases can last for a long time. One of the most common causes of death for people with dementia is pneumonia caused by an infection.
You thought it was a joke? Wow.
The signs have been there!
"give yer balls a tug, donny" this guys is 10-ply.
" you wife shoots so much cum around my room I gotta put wood chips on the ground like I've got fuckin' guinea pigs."
Melania wanted me to stick my whole arm in her then cried when I knocked over the box of baking soda she keeps up there.
This genuinely had me in tears.
Actual quote? Genius either way!
This is hilarious, but FFS 'thedailybeast' fuck off with your headlines. There's nothing panicked here. A realistic, actual meaty headline would be "Trump tells Canada that China will restrict Ice Hockey, when asked about British trade with China"
This headline tells the facts, without dipping into outrage politics.
Your headline calmed me down and made me feel more informed. Also, the trustworthy wording makes me think, "yeah, this article probably isn't filled with garbage, and I should read it."
In other words, YOU FAILED! YOU GOTTA MAKE ME ANGRY SO THAT I SHARE A LINK TO EVERYONE I KNOW WITHOUT ACTUALLY READING ANYTHING!!! I SHOULD FEEL MY HEART RATE INCREASE BY THE THIRD WORD OF YOUR HEADLINE!
The problem there, oddly enough, is that I wouldn't have believed that headline. I would have dismissed it as a Beaverton article (Canadian version of the Onion) and not read it. Whereas this headline was sufficient to make me click on it to find out what his "hockey warnings" were.
"China will take hockey away from you!" Is such a completely deranged pants-on-head bonkers idiot thing to say that even now I'm still half convinced that this is parody that has somehow slipped through all the filters that are supposed to keep this serious.
WTF?
Carney and Trump have a heated rivalry

"Ice hockey" what a fuckin moron
I'm confused. "Ice hockey" is what I've always called it too.
It's just hockey
There are different kinds of hockey though.
If I say I went to school yesterday. People don't think driving school.
If I say I played hockey yesterday, you wouldn't think I played it on grass would you?

About 6 people outside the US take him seriously. Maybe 5.
Yes, of course. The very 1st thing they will say is no hockey.
Why would China even care about Canadians playing ice hockey? China has probably made money making hockey equipment or hockey themes toys etc. And even if China did want to ban Hockey do we really think the PM, who played hockey himself, will ban what is probably Canada's favourite sport just for a trade deal? Does Trump think Chinese boots will hit the ground and stop Canadians from shooting pucks around on frozen ponds?
Does Trump think
No.
C'mon, bro! Xi doesn't even like hockey, bro! His mom said it's bad for you, bro! My mom said I could go to the NHL cup game, bro! C'mon, I'll be your best friend, bro!
