I too demand to be given cognitive tests for dementia just for the bragging rights. The neuropsychologist at the hospital won't even answer my calls anymore.

47 has spent years bragging about his performance on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, which begins—as he himself has noted—with tasks like identifying animal drawings and progresses to a climax of knowing where you are and what day it is.

Read how Dementia Don talked about it today...
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: Is he in good health? Biden was great, but is Trump in good health? I sit here and I sit here, I do news, four news conferences a day. I ask questions from very intelligent lunatics, you people. I always give– I give the right answers. There’s never a scandal, there’s never a problem. I give you answers that solve your little problems. You go back and you can’t find anything, but you do you do stories about Biden was in wonderful health. The guy could didn’t do a news conference for eight months. If I go one day, I had one day where I didn’t do a news conference, there’s something wrong with the president. You people are crazy. I’ll let you know when there’s something wrong. There will be someday. That’s gonna happen to all of us. But right now, I think I’m sharper than I was 25 years ago, but who the hell does? I took, by the way, I took my physical, I got all A’s, everything. But they said to me, “Would you like to take a cognitive test?”. I said, Is it hard? They said yes. I said, Well, I’m a very smart person. Who was the last president to take one? No president has ever agreed to take one. Because when you get into the mid-questions, meaning, you know, 10, question number 10, 11, 12, 28, 30, they get harder and harder. And they said, Would you like to do it? I said, Well, no reason to do it. Nobody’s ever done it. I’ll do it maybe, but there’s really no reason. They said, sir, the problem is this is Walter Reed Hospital. And that’s a military hospital. And that means that things are, you know, sort of open. It’s not like private where you have–. If you do poorly, we’ll have to– probably you’ll you’ll find out. I said, I won’t do poorly. I’m a smart person, not a stupid person. And as the doctor will tell you, I aced it, right, Suzy? I aced. I got every question right. And these are tough questions. These are questions that I would say ninety-nine percent of the people that I’m talking to right now, meaning the people that f…

Here in Australia we have a trusted independent Australian Electoral Commission that sets electoral boundaries & ballot papers, manages voting rolls, runs elections, & counts votes. Recommend pressing for same. It could be progressively implemented as states sign on & would I think create demand.

Isn’t it funny how long this has been a discussion people been trying to bring to the front, esp Black activists in the south? Southern activists in general?

The GOP redistricted their way into winning.

TX was already ridiculous. Every time I see the 35th district… POC are trapped here.
Screenshot from Wiki’s page on Texas 35th congressional district, of the map that’s been true since January 3, 2023. It’s an odd sliver of a shape that stretches across Austin, New Braunfels, and San Antonio. Representative Democrat Greg Casar’s district.

Note that these lines quite deliberately divide Black majority precincts among the districts. This map would never have passed scrutiny under the pre-Roberts Voting Rights Act.
