Donald "Stable Genius" Trump scored 30/30.
Any idea of how he'd score on the Louisiana Literacy
Test from the 1960s, usually forced voters with darker skin
colour than white to take before they were allowed to vote.
A prime example of how a bright shining beacon of democracy
works, BTW...
I must admit that I didn't get a 100% score, needed to
be allowed to vote. But then again most of the questions
were so strangely formulated, I think that a majority of
all US voters would fail.

I looked at that. I would doubt that I could pass it either (at 100%).
In fact, I have to say that there are enough questions there which are
so ambiguous as to have any answer be called wrong. The ten minute time limit is ridiculous. Plus, I do not see how any of the questions have anything to do with being able to cast a legitimate vote.

Spot on! Exactly my thoughts when first I was made aware of this
hope that the state of Louisiana has removed that voting suppression by now... 8-)

I remember the test. Not the electronic copy, but the real paper
version, in which a real pencil was used to take it. It was not only
used to weed out folks who had no business voting, but also folks
who had no business mingling in society.
There is a reason why the US has more psychologists than any other
country in the world. Along with places where folks can be granted
free housing. One of those places is located in Jackson, Louisiana.
Tours are available for those who want to visit. While most of the facility is closed to the public due to residents quarters remaining private, there is a section that is very popular to see. I do not
know how to describe it. The facility is old. Very old. And the way residents were kept back then was much different than today. This
part is like a dungeon. Residents were stripped naked, tied to a
stake, fed from time to time, and basically just left there to rot.
Anyway, the test you posted online is the same cognitive test used
by psychologists back in the day. I know, as the state of Louisiana
was my employ, once upon a time. Had to take an oath, kind of like
the national security oath, not to tell what went on. So believe me
when I tell you, we did lots of testing. Lots and lots of testing.
Now that I have broken the law by telling you what went on, I can
be arrested - then drawn, sliced and quartered. All for the sake of
free speech.

I believe that they have. They have also removed the law that says that
a person with as little as 1/8 colored blood cannot marry a person who
is white.

Thanks a million Lee for your thoughts! Now that Fidonet has been reduced to a trickle of it's former glory, our world is not spoiled with true contributors from zone 1. The head honcho in the White House as well as the one in Z1 Fidonet seems to be out of touch with the rest of the world.
However, can you explain to us how a POTUS (supposedly not being a dictator) can have the power to fire every person able to investigate his criminal behaviour. Seriously?

As you know, no president can be charged with having committed a
crime while in office. Although he can be subpoenaed by the Congress.
And then, after he is sworn in to give his own testimony, he can take
the fifth, never having to say a word.
Once he leaves the witness stand, he has everything he needs to
have his AG investigate the criminal behavior of those members of
Congress who questioned him. And then heads will roll ...

It's entirely possible that he doesn't lose.
HOLY SHIT!!!! You mean that it's actually possible that the US will have four more years down the drains? Out of 320 million people, there's a majority that actually wants this empire crash to happen?
Nah. Methinks you should stay away from Tucker Carlson...
As for whether people vote sensibly... here in Canada we just recently re-elected a man who was caught in blackface on at least 3 occasions, isthe
only sitting Prime Minister to be convicted of ethics violations, and hasended
up convicted of MULTIPLE of said ethics violations, and has presided over national unity hitting record lows. And we re-elected him because hisparty was
able to convince enough people that the other major contender MIGHT do something vaguely Racist or Unethical. Despite the fact said oponent hadspent
the better part of a decade as Speaker of the House and was fairlyuniversally
applauded for acting with integrity and beyond party lines in that role.
The problem is that it is the
political appointees at the top who get to supervise and direct what can and can not be done.

Ouch. Big democratic problem detected...
But would it be impossible to force the POTUS to at least write the executive orders personally?
I just read his "Executive Grant of Clemency" for his loyal friend Roger Stone, sentenced to 40 months in prison, and I doubt that Donald would be able to write something like that even if he got another four years trying...

And this is what the US Constitution not only says, but even intended? Jeeezzzz.
What a screwed up society. No wonder that 1% of the richest families has been given 99% from the rest. But how can 25% be so incredibly stupidthat
they think this is best for them?
The US Constitution is the world's oldest written constitution
still in use today.

I beg to differ. Yes, if you ignore all the amendments. But no, if you take
into account the original document. The Swedish constitution (Grundlagen)
is based on the V„stg”talagen from circa 1250 AD. I think that's a wee bit older than your constitution, no? 8-)
And yes, we've had quite a few amendments and other adjustments made to it
since. DUH! But just the same, the original is more than 800 years old.

be? I ask because they seem genuinely stupid, to me.
Underneath those people are career civil servants. Those people
cannot be fired without extreme documentation and appeals. Trust me,
I tried to do it once. There are enough protections in place to
protect them that it is next to impossible to fire a career employee.

  Well, strangely enough, the SCOTUS (supreme court of the USA) recently ruled that the POTUS is *not* above the law. With a 7-2 ruling even with several judges appointed by the Trump.
  Yeah, well you can probably understand how this so called democracy works?

100% correct. Its all just an act or a gimmick to either generate
message traffic or gaslight/troll American Sysops. You should of
been here for the morbidly childish "sitcom canned laughter"
debate of the early 2000's...
Maybe the clowns do it out of boredom, and have nothing
else to do with their miserable, meaningless lives.

Trump can only fire the political appointees, and I'm pretty sure thatFauci
