Anybody with a lick of sense can easily see that Joe Biden has lost his mind. And not in the amusing “drunk uncle” sort of way. Nope, he’s lost his mind in the “that bitch be crazy” way.
And yet he’s the “leader” of the free world.
Nancy Pelosi, Lori Lightfoot and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez are also insane. How do I know? That’s easy. I know they’re insane because that’s the only thing that explains their bizarre behavior. Well, in AOC’s case, it’s also possible that she’s merely stupid. It could go either way.
We elect people to office with absolutely no guarantee that they’re not bat-shit crazy. Nobody even checks. Once the votes are counted, an elected-but-insane politician is free to take office and do whatever the voices inside their head tell them to do.
The only thing an election tells us is that one person is better at getting votes than the others. That’s it. We don’t know if they’re fit to hold office, we just know that they had a better Marketing team backing them up. And, once they’re elected, we don’t have any way of knowing for sure that they haven’t subsequently lost their mind.
So, let’s fix that.
Every politician should be required to take a test that measures his/her cognitive ability and mental acuity. The tests should measure their ability to think clearly and to determine if they’re mentally fit to hold office. I believe these tests should occur every quarter and the results should be made public.
OK. Maybe not every politician. But anyone who is making life-or-death decisions should certainly be tested. And anyone who manages a budget larger than a certain size should also have their head periodically examined. We can leave it up to local voters to decide if their own elected officials should also be regularly checked.
Let’s not just limit this to elected officials. There are a lot of government appointees, Cabinet members for example, who are selected with no input from voters.
Wouldn’t it be nice to know that the Attorney General Merrick Garland isn’t nuts? Remember, he’s the guy who said that ANTIFA in Portland aren’t domestic terrorists because they did their damage at night. How crazy is that?
How about the Secretary of Health and Human Services Xavier Becerra? He’s the same guy that pushed for more gun control laws in California while simultaneously not enforcing the laws that already existed. Tell me that’s not insane.
But, here’s the thing: For periodic testing of politicians to become law, the law would need to be passed by the very politicians we want to test. And clearly, many of those politicians have something to hide.
If that’s not a conflict of interest I don’t know what is. How likely do you think that is such a law would be passed? We are unlikely to ever see politicians agree to require a demonstration of fitness to hold office. I’m pretty sure it falls under the category of “not even if hell freezes over”.
So, let’s start with Joe. We don’t even need a law. He just needs to volunteer to take the test. In fact, let’s livestream it so everybody can watch in real time.
Why wouldn’t he? Anyone confident that their results will be positive should have no problem being tested in front of everybody. Joe should be demanding the opportunity to prove once and for all that he’s fit for the job, just so he can make anyone saying otherwise shut the hell up.
But he’s not going to do that. At best, his doctor will announce that he administered the test to Joe and that Joe passed with flying colors. And that will be about as useful as not taking the test at all. Because anyone with a lick of sense can easily see that it’s not true.
