Screenshot of a Substack note by account 'JoJoFromJerz' that says: 'In a sane administration, the FBI Director doesn’t go on the morning news to prove he’s not a drunk, the Defense Secretary doesn’t quote Tarantino to prove he’s a man of God, and <br />the President doesn’t take multiple cognitive exams to prove he’s not insane.'

@georgetakei About as abnormal as the general lack of public political participation. A lot of people who think they have no agency for what's happening are just waiting for things to either blow over or just get worse.

I stopped hoping for “normal” with the 2016 election.

@georgetakei Those tests aren't to prove he's sane, they're to prove he's even capable of cognition.

There are whole spectra of mental disorders that leave the person with at least some minimal cognitive capacity, which is the bar here.

With a sane population, none of them should have be voted into power. Think about that. ;)

@georgetakei then get these russian/thiel agents out of positions of power. They need to stand trial for war crimes, pedophilia, rapes, corruption. They need to go to prison.
