Person woman, man, camera, TV _ is that the competency test that Nimrata Randhawa has in mind? I prefer a lie detector test instead to weed out the liars like Trump, George Santos, Nimrata, Desanctimonious and 90% of the republican politicians.
ReplyI wonder if Hershal Walker could pass the test: person, man, woman, camera, TV.
ReplyNikki will have difficulty recollecting the numbers & percentages that affect the common people……as well as Bernie does …. why?
ReplyMaybe a lie detector test will be more appropriate in filtering out the scum from presidential races!
Nikki surely will fail!
1:12 the question isnt should we have the test .. yes of course we should .. the real question is … who gets to decide whats on the test and how do you protect the test from going from a useful medical exam to a tool of exclustion of people with “wrong ideas” .. like how homosexuality used to be considered a mental ill ness ..was it actuyl y? no did that matter? no becuase it wasnt about medicene it was about what was sociatally acceptable … how long after such a test becomes used is it till the idea of say universal health care is a sign of in compertence?…
ReplyBernie Sanders, Sir Patrick Stewart – will you be giving us Joe Biden soon? Cool old people 🙂
ReplyI am 150% ALL FOR competency tests for EVERYONE serving ANY level of public office. From the DMV office all the way to potus. In a nation filled with imbeciles who refuse to educate regardless of the cost to society, we need literally EVERY POSSIBLE check and balance imaginable.
ReplyThose angry about the need to ensure intelligence serves public office ARE the very imbeciles who need not serve ANY public office the nation over.

ReplyOne love Burn ie
Long live.
Thats old
I don’t think it’s to much to ask for a politician to be lucid and capable. I don’t care at what age but some kind of basic aptitude test should exist, the chance just happens to increase the older someone is. No one wants a constantly confused easily manipulated politician, corruption is manipulation enough, we don’t need it to be even easier.
ReplyThere should be a competency test for obviously insane people (aka Republicans).
ReplyBernie hid one fact here. Moderna is going to provide the vaccine for free, but only to the destitute. Or so he said recently in another interview. I love him though.
ReplyI’m for a competency test – for everyone.
Some people aren’t very competent to begin with (and they still manage to get into Congress).
Let’s start weeding them out.
