    You should have to take physical driving tests every 2 years past age 65 to keep driving.

    Yet we let these senile millionaires legislate our lives.

    Putting aside being the worst President since Jackson on policy alone, we let drooling Alzheimer’s Reagan maintain his hand on the nuclear button for years, with the help of his traitorous wife, putting all of us at risk for no other reason than to protect the “Reagan Legacy.” Aww, he didn’t want to be embarrassed, so we had no one at the wheel in the late 80s who could reliably remember how to tie their own shoes in the event of a global crisis, much less the names and vital details of every major world leader as they should.

    I’m sorry if it makes me ableist to say, but having dementia/Alzheimer’s means that the most important decision you should be allowed to make until your death is what you want for lunch. When You’re broken and a danger to yourself to others, fuck your legacy.

      Ugh. If if there were a crisis it would be handled by Nancy and her astrologer. We are a total fucking mess of a country.

      As a disabled person, it is simply a fact that various disabilities preclude your ability to do certain things. That’s literally what “disabled” means!

      I can’t hike up mountains anymore and I don’t go around telling people I can and trying to do so. If he or Feinstein can’t think properly anymore, they can’t do their jobs, either.
