Regarding Cognitive Tests

Via Tengrain,we have the sorry scene of Senator Roger Marshall talking about imposing a cognitive test on President Biden every year:

I would call Marshall's bluff and force all elected officials to take annual cognitive tests, including him. Does anyone really think that Madison Cawthorn or Lauren Boehbert would pass a cognitive test? Regarding Marj Greene, I think she's uneducated, maybe even pretty stupid, but not genuinely impaired. Hawley, Cruz, Thomas Massie- these are performatively stupid people who graduated from elite institutions. 

While we're at it, how about conducting monthly drug tests for thes policymakers as well? If it's good enough for Joe and Jane clock-puncher, it's good enough for them- after all, they work for us. 

Test them all, test them regularly, let them live under the policies they create for the rest of us.

I've long advocated poll tests ...

Precisely. Sen. Dr. Marshall is one of my US Senators. He's not as awful a person as is Mike Pompeo (another former US legislator from my great state,) but he's a hypocrite and a brazen liar. I'd like to see him take his final med school exams again, too, just to see if he still can.

He's an aspiring member of that club George Carlin spoke of. The one we're not in.

I wonder if Marshall and his party plan to bring back the how-many-jellybeans test for certain prospective voters.
