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!

So does acing a cognitive test means you have cognitive decline or not?
Bragging about it does
In this case: yes.
As someone who works in psychiatry and frequently administers cognitive tests, his comments are hilarious.
The hardest question on the ACE-III is getting someone to remember a name and address for about 15-20 minutes whilst you get them to do the other tasks - mostly repeating sentences after you, naming objects, following simple two-step commands and other things which anyone without dementia should be able to do just fine.
"Aceing" the test is just doing things that pretty much anyone without cognitive impairment should already be able to do.
My favourite part was when he was bragging about remembering ‘person, man, woman, camera, tv’ when those would absolutely not have been the words in the test. The word list will always be unrelated things (like daisy, piano, horse, book, etc), since related words would defeat the purpose.
He was obviously just naming things in his field of vision at the time. It’s such a weird thing to repeatedly boast and lie about.
Sounds like a MoCA. Face, velvet, church, daisy, red are the usual 5.
I wonder if whoever administered the test was overly generous in the marking of it 😂
Nah, he’s just a liar. He said that at a press conference where literally everything in his view was either a person, man, woman, camera, or tv (well, plus the podium, but that’s a big boy word).
