it looks like all these people would be ruining their whole careers by doing some of these things, I wonder if a standardly randomized IQ test and public results shoud be a thing for US public servents
Hard no. We're not "testing" people for public office. Smells too much like testing for the vote.
We are not no, and look how well it is working. I get that doing things that is unfair is unfair but this point is to me more fair, not less.
Let's ignore all the bias in IQ tests and how they are not a valid measure of intelligence.
This is based on the premise that these people aren't smart. The scary thing to realize is that they are very smart people. They are using that intelligence in a concerted effort to advance their agenda and power.
The republicans don’t want to hang on your every word like they used to, mike, and even then it was not the kind of hanging you’d like.
