Summary
Donald Trump sharply criticized Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, calling him a “dictator” and accusing him of corruption, aligning his rhetoric with Russia’s stance.
His remarks followed a phone call with Vladimir Putin and reflect his long-standing skepticism of US support for Ukraine.
Trump’s “America First” policy prioritizes reducing aid to Kyiv while shifting focus to China.
While some Republicans voiced concerns, Trump is wielding total authority over his party.
It’s almost as if we should require IQ testing for candidates. And you know, maybe don’t let felon rapists run for office.
Look, I get your sentiment, but we’ve been over this sort of thing. If we let that happen, this is the sort of shit that the fascists would implement (and put themselves in charge of scoring, which would certainly result in their allies passing and everyone else failing):
That is an outrageous test, there are like 5 questions that could be construed in multiple ways. Hopefully you don’t lose points for explaining your reasoning…
Oh you sweet, summer child. Read the instructions:
“Do what you are told to do in each statement, nothing more, nothing less.”
If you try to explain, you already failed.
Also, by the way, this is the grading rubric:
(This is not hyperbole. This is how it actually worked in Louisiana in 1964.)
You got ten minutes to do all of it, not sure you’re explaining anything.
Even attempting to explain violates the instructions and is thus an insta-fail. Clearly, you do not understand what “nothing more, nothing less” means and are therefore illiterate and ineligible to vote, according to this test.
The most amazing(ly vile) one is using the tendency of our minds to skip over “the the” as if it’s an IQ test.
Well that and the whole idea of using this stupid collection of badly worded instructions to “determine” a human’s worthiness.
“Determine” with the assistance of that family guy “OKAY / NOT OKAY” card.
“They’re eating the dogs” wasn’t enough of an IQ test?
We need a cleaner media environment. The current one is fucked.
IQ testing for voters.
Or maybe just give a shit about primary education and raise the iq of the voting populous above that of the common slug.
Hey let’s maybe not try to fix ignorance with eugenics
Agree in concept.
However making Felons/Rapist unable is an easy way for Trump to stop competition. All he needs is a conviction for his opponents in the courts he owns.
