When people are way too smug about their wrong answer.

Posting guidelines.

All posts in this community have come from elsewhere, it is not original content, the poster in this community is not OP. The person who posts in this community isn’t necessarily endorsing whatever the post is talking about and they are not looking to argue with you about the content in the post.

You are welcome to discuss and debate any topic but arguments are not welcome here. I consider debate/discussions to be civil; people with different opinions participating in respectful conversations. It becomes an argument as soon as someone becomes aggressive, nasty, insulting or just plain unpleasant. Report argumentative comments, then ignore them.

There is currently no rule about how recent a post needs to be because the community is about the comeback part, not the topic.

Rules:

• Be civil and remember the human.

• No trolling, insults or name calling. Swearing in general is fine, but not to insult someone.

• No bigotry of any kind, including homophobia, transphobia, sexism and racism.

• You are welcome to discuss and debate any topic but arguments are not welcome here. I consider debate/discussions to be civil; people with different opinions participating in respectful conversations. It becomes an argument as soon as someone becomes aggressive, nasty, insulting or just plain unpleasant. Report argumentative comments, then ignore them.

• Try not to get too political. A lot of these posts will involve politics, but this isn’t the place for political arguments.

• Participate in good faith - don’t be aggressive and don’t argue for arguements sake.

• Mark NSFW posts if they contain nudity.

• Satire is allowed but please start the post title with [satire] so other users can filter it out if they’d like.

Please report comments that break site or community rules to the mods. If you break the rules you’ll receive one warning before being banned from this community.

This community follows the rules of the lemmy.world instance and the lemmy.org code of conduct. I’ve summarised them here:

  1. Be civil, remember the human.
  2. No insulting or harassing other members. That includes name calling.
  3. Respect differences of opinion. Civil discussion/debate is fine, arguing is not. Criticise ideas, not people.
  4. Keep unrequested/unstructured critique to a minimum.
  5. Remember we have all chosen to be here voluntarily. Respect the spent time and effort people have spent creating posts in order to share something they find amusing with you.
  6. Swearing in general is fine, swearing to insult another commenter isn’t.
  7. No racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia or any other type of bigotry.
  8. No incitement of violence or promotion of violent ideologies.

Joe Biden has forgotten more than Trump has ever known

It's a low bar for sure. Very low. A duck would trip over the bar.

Biden sure didn't cause that, though.

This is a direct quote from the Orangeutang.

“I think had they not done it to me, and I’m very popular, they like me and I like them, the Republican Party, perhaps you wouldn’t have it being done to them, and this is going to happen with indictments, too. And I think you’re going to see that as time goes by, you’re going to see Republicans when they’re in power, doing it, and it’s a shame when that happens. I’m not in favor of that, but that’s what’s going to happen because that’s human nature.”

From this article.

Arguing that the other guy is in mental decline is such a weird strategy when your guy can't put together a coherent sentence.

[–] Jomega@lemmy.world 48 points 1 year ago

Did r/ihadastroke migrate here from reddit yet? Because that quote belongs there.

[–] awwwyissss@lemm.ee 35 points 1 year ago (1 children)

"I'm very popular"

Current state of Republican politics.

[–] samsepi0l@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago

The "I'm the most humble person ever" quote is also great

[–] over_clox@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

You should post that on Troth Senchal

My grandmother was telling me about this, I was hoping she had mixed up satire with reality.... She did not

Apparently Trump also thinks he'd be running against Obama in 2024?

[–] Soulg@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

A lot of people think that Obama is actually running things because they're braindead monkeys

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago

Remember the guy who was interviewed and asked why Obama wasn't in the White House during 9/11 and wanted an investigation on that

The "intelligencer" jeez that one cringe newspaper name

[–] gmtom@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Rightoids are all that kid in school that thought they were the smartest kid in class, but got all Cs and justified it by saying if they "actually tried" they would get all As easily.

WTF World War II ?

First aliens, now time traveling?

[–] postmateDumbass@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

The US never signed the treaty ending WW 1 so it doesn't count?

[–] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (3 children)

It's par for the course for him.

Remember, this is the guy who claimed that Washington crossed the Delaware to take British airbases by surprise. He also stated that troops fought hard in the jungles of Desert Storm.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 7 points 1 year ago

Well you have to admit there was very little air action in the war of independence.

I think there's a typo in that headline, the "cognitively impaired" part should go at the beginning.

[–] Mandy@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

thats has to be a typo, right?......right?

[–] sturmblast@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)
