Joan Trumpauer Mulholland was arrested for protesting in 1961. She was tested for mental illness because law enforcement couldn’t think why a white woman would want civil rights.
and THAT is why we need decent school systems, to teach kids what shit has happened in the past, so that maybe, just maybe they won't repear the same shit again.
as someone old enough, yes it utterly depresses me to see the same mistakes being made and regression with women's and civil rights. I went with my mum to the feminist rallys in the 70s and to have to watch things going backwards just boils my blood.
Joe Bidens competency was aggressively attacked by the right every day for 4 years. Even minor things were met with outrage levels of reaction. But when trump does it, it's totally fine.
No it won't, his cronies will only make sure they show a fabricated report like they have with his medical history. The only thing probably keeping him alive at this point is the govt healthcare they all get

She had civil rights. She wanted others to have them, too. That's what they couldn't understand.

It was still illegal in most of the country in 1961

protesting for civil right was illegal in 1961?
gnomedeplume
in the south certainly although they'd call it "disturbing the peace"

The US President should be tested for mental illness. It'd be a foregone conclusion, but make the results public.
thelegendofthetwistednavigator
Just tell him he "got a full house" and he'll tweet it with pride
meganical
Why? He’d disagree with the report so he’d just fire the doctor and only hire one who would be willing to fudge the results

Reminder: If you confuse a senility test for an intelligence test; you failed both of them.

Person, woman, man, camera, TV... clearly he's fine.

He has the best mental illness. Some people say he’s the best at mental illness that there ever was.

The dude won't even reveal his school grades. You expect him to reveal a test score of how batshit crazy he is?!?

No it won't, his cronies will only make sure they show a fabricated report like they have with his medical history. The only thing probably keeping him alive at this point is the govt healthcare they all get

He should be tested ON. With every single inhumane experiment known to man.

He has. He's crowed about how he's passed every test. Nobody will dare correct him publicly.
