I thought is was probably payback for calls for similar tests during Trump\u2019s presidency.<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t think Biden is the sharpest knife in the drawer generally, but after reading about his performance trying to put bicycle handles on a bike at a Toys for Tots event, I can sort of see their point.<\/p>\n<p>Apparently The President couldn\u2019t put a round tube inside another round tube. Makes you wonder if he has similar problems in the bedroom.<\/p>\n<p>At this point, I\u2019d love to see him working with one of those child\u2019s toys where you match the different shaped wooden blocks with the appropriately shaped holes. That\u2019s a toy that while exercising a child\u2019s mind also serves as a cognitive reasoning test allowing parents to gauge a child\u2019s development.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps I\u2019m being unkind, but come on. Now, it\u2019s possible that he couldn\u2019t focus properly on the top of the bike, but if that\u2019s true he needs to get to the White House Ophthalmologist for a check up. Perhaps it\u2019s time for sleepy Joe to get a pair of glasses. If he\u2019s having a visual focusing problem, it begs the question; Is he reading the stuff coming across his desk?<\/p>\n<p>Generally speaking I don\u2019t read anything the Joe or the White House put out. Most anything they say gets retracted a day later so it\u2019s best to wait for the dust to settle before getting worked up about it. Even after the dust has settled, most of the time I find myself shaking my head in dumbfounded amazement that these are the people in control. This one though, was even more dumbfounding than usual so I read it when it came out.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve dealt with an assortment of pretty insane, and stupid people over my lifetime. The saddest part, is that I\u2019d rather have them running things instead of what we\u2019ve got now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When some pundits and politicians started calling for a cognitive test for President Biden, I honestly thought it was them just being dicks.
