Mental status exams should be required on a regular basis for all Senators, Congressmen, Judges and POTUS. We require drug testing, routine physical exams and mental status exams in the airline industry and many businesses for ordinary citizens. Why is there nothing done to confirm the ability of legislators to THINK rationally, given that their actions affect thousands of people? Testing for competence to do the job should apply to everyone.
2 years ago my husband, who is an interventional cardiologist (one who does catheter based procedures as opposed to open surgery) became critically ill. After his recovery he was not allowed to go back to work until completing a 2 DAY session of extensive mental status testing. Why? Because his job affects the health and safety of others, comparable to an airline pilot. It also affects the liability of the hospital and medical group for which he works. THE REASON THAT THE SAME PRECAUTION IS NOT TAKEN FOR LEGISLATORS IS BECAUSE NEITHER THEY NOR THE GO ERNMENT HAS LIABILITY FOR PERSONAL INJURY AND OTHER HARM RESULTING FROM THEIR INCOMPETENT DECISIONS.
What is a major clue that we are under the disguise of Democracy? But not a real one.
When competency testing for some is mandated for the many, but not for all!
"Rules for thee....but none for me!" (the never ending "current" admin policies that bind)
The most egregious common tactic of portraying a constant "Assumption of Correctness"!
Some humans do retain an unusual degree of high mental capacity even after a physical capacity really no longer will exist nor return. That % is fewer than 1 in a Million, maybe less.
The audio video portions we get to witness, prove beyond any reasonable doubt that a greatly diminished level has taken over. And these folks are simply running on ingrained habits to cover up the amounts of brain power loss. Not cognitive awareness!
Agree with your comment, with the amendment that their actions affect not thousands, but hundreds of millions, and in the matter of foreign policy and foreign intervention, even more than that.
They impacted everyone, since we are all one single race: human.
Aren't we under threat from the very same parasites as always? These ancient 'rulers' who continually sought to control their 'resources' while ceaselessly acquiring more.
Wealth is not in itself the issue. It is the unethical acquisition of these resources by skirting moral and ethical rules of social engagement: Lying and cheating.
Corporations are the cancer that plagues the world, metastasizing and malignant.
I agree with you but a caring family could go a long way in getting them to opt out. Family members have a lot of ability to put the brakes on their impaired relatives. I suspect that Jill Biden has not told her husband that he should step down and I agree with Duchess that some of that has to do with her own addiction to status and money. After all, she is DOCTOR Jill Biden even though she is not a medical doctor. She seems to like the title.
HOW TO GET AGING FAMILY MEMBERS OUT OF SITUATIONS IN WHICH THEY AND OR THEIR DECISIONS COULD HARM THEM AND OR OTHERS: The following stories are what my brother and I did to get a great uncle (age 94+), a father (age 88) and a mother (age 88) from behind the wheel of a car.
GREAT UNCLE: We placed a label on his hypertension Rx that warned of danger in driving and operating machinery. It was a label that we took from another medication and placed it there. Yes, it was a lie! But it greatly diminished the possibility of his killing himself and someone else and avoided his becoming angry if we were to report him to the DMV or other authorities. My brother then locked the wheels on his beloved Mustang and allowed him to "play drive." My brother bought new batteries on a regular basis in order for him to continue play driving. He died of natural causes at age 99.
FATHER: Following Hurricane Katrina we brought him to California. He did not have a license and we showed him the cost of California Auto Insurance which blew his mind. We also took him driving and told him that upon demonstrating his ability to navigate from one place to another we would take him to DMV to get a license. Although he could drive he did not have the mental capacity to navigate so we never took him to the DMV. He died of natural causeas at age 90.
MOTHER: She rammed her car into a telephone pole and was unharmed. My brother took care of everything and told her that we would not allow her to drive again. She accepted it and died of natural causes at age 93.
Good ideas! My 91 year old dad relocated to a city where we live and we put off going to the licensing office until his out of state license expired, then told him he needed to go online to take the practice test. Thank God he just let it go eventually, but I imagine most that age couldn't do an online test without help.
Yes we discussed it before doing it and to resolve our discomfort with not being truthful we decided that his life was at risk and that we would just accept the fact that we were being dishonest. Many families will make police or DMV reports and let the authorities revoke the license but we did not like that. My brother had an antihistamine Rx that had that label and either he removed it OR he may have talked to the pharmacist to get it. I don't recall exactly how he did it. But he did and it worked because our great uncle was law abiding.
I don't know what is in Jill's brain but her insistence that she be addressed as "Doctor Jill Biden" indicates that she is highly motivated by fostering the perception that she is smart, accomplished in a difficult field and worthy of respect. She needs adoration and or obedience and her use of "Doctor" although she is not a medical doctor says a lot about her psyche.
I'm getting up there myself Jennifer, so I truly do...after you go through the anger stage of dementia...as long as you have familiar stuff around but don't have to figure out how to work anything ...like the stove or refrigerator. or the phone....you get kinda laid back and dont really care about stuff you used to...and that includes your appearance, your status, etc...you just really want to be left in familiar surroundings with a familiar routine that is not too taxing.....I saw it in my mother and father an aunt...even without dementia, your personality changes in old age...sometimes for better, sometimes for worse...but it changes.
Nancy needs to be on this list as well. I've heard her many times, sound like Biden. I think term limits would help keep the power from staying in one person's hands. It would give fresh ideas and thoughts. While many might love one of these you spoke about, it's not about "putting them out to pasture", it's bout their health, and ability to function at 100%. They stay because their party doesn't want to chance an election of someone who won't tow their line, and follow their lead. These people are no longer leaders, but puppets. Frankly, I feel sorry for them now, because it's become elder abuse. Their loved ones must not actually love them more than the power and that's sad. Spouses aren't taking care of them, rather taking care of their own position in the party and power system. But, that's what politics will do to a person.
I must agree with you. Those in congress and Senate are not there to protect and serve this country. They are there to protect their agenda and serve themselves and their party's agenda. Sadly, we ole folks thought back in the day that congress was serving the country but as we learn more about what actually took place, we see they have mostly always served themselves and their party's agenda. Everyone in DC, up and including the President and Supreme court, are puppets to the globalists and their quest for a one world government. They will be the only ones allowed to live in that world, with their slaves (us) tagging along to serve them.
So true about history being written by the victors. I know you know this but most of what we were taught about a lot of our history was fabricated or "spun". Going back to WWII and even further. If we look back at all administrations in our history, we will find much corruption in all. Some had more than others. Sure, some presidents weren't involved in the corruption and only their staff and we can't expect the president to be able to babysit his grown up staff. It's up to them to be grown ups and do the right thing. But, greed gets in their way and the next thing you know, we have what we have today. A bunch of corporate fascist that have thrown our country under the bus for power and money. Corporate fascism is like a communism but controlled by corporations rather than a "government" of sorts. We see that with big pharma and others. Our government either takes their orders from corporations or they let the corporations do their biding that our laws won't allow the government to do. We've seen both in action in the past 3 yrs.
I agree with you on having these type evaluations as a regular part of public information , like financials, but just like virtually every law the Congress passes, they then exempt themselves from, I don't see this ever happening. These people, and their families, have accumulated hundreds of millions of dollars of wealth from their "government service" and are not going into the night gently. Think of the senile Grand Cyclops of the KKK, Byrd of WVA, or the drooling, deaf senator from SC Strom Thurmond, and too many others over the last century or so, that cling to their positions for years after it is apparent to all they are non functioning. The families don't care, by and large: their prosperity, wealth, and station are completely supported by these politicians, so they will fight hammer and tong to sustain their benefactor's position.
I certainly will not blame these three individuals for getting old. I will most certainly blame the despicable citizenry for their continued support. The citizens deserve what they voted for.
If you are referring to Commiefornia, the 'electorate' haven't had an actual say, in the fraud that is 'California elections', in decades. The process here is absolutely opaque and above being questioned.
These weasels have devised a system where the 'taxpayer' has no right to question the oligarchs now running the sinking-ship. They seem unconcerned that the captains at the helm are the very same ones that steered us into the iceberg, nor that we are going down at the head. Additionally, the taxpayer is required, by law that these weasels themselves wrote and voted on, to fund their (CalPers) retirement account for useless government employees, regardless the state of the economy.
I live on the redwood coast of the Pacific. There is a public landing strip a couple miles inland, above the fog, and I see jet after jet, coming and going, never a respite, "...nothing going to slow me down, oh no, got to keep on moving..." self confident narcissists that they are.
They should be reviled and booed every place they go. They are the Quislings among us. They easily shrug off the suffering of billions in order to 'save' them(selves) from the self-designed unavoidable calamity.
These Quisling technocrats have designed it: The Perfect Worst Government.
Of the wealthy, by the wealthy, and especially FOR the wealthy.
I’m sure if their physicians were following the Medicare protocol for yearly physicals they would have been asked the same standard questions - and most likely would have failed! No doubt they already know.
It appears that the United States of America is being run out of a DC nursing home! No mention was made of Pelosi, but she's in just as bad a shape mentally as the others. Truly, they are in NO mental condition to be making policy decision for what is (or once was) the leader of the free world! I hope to God that someone has removed access to the "RED Button" from Dementia Joe! He doesn't know what's going on and his handlers are obviously dangerous persons!

The gall. Complete lack of self-awareness in the context that all of us are part of a single 'whole'. There is no escaping the consequences of what you sow. Ever.

Dr McCullough takes a swing at older politicians because he feels Teed off at them. They club together veering off course, but McCullough would rather send them out to pasture, putting around on greens. That of course is the aim!
No he is not commenting because he's teed off at the individuals. Dr. McCullough is stating the obvious. One need not be a physician to observe the senile in action.
Mental status exams should be required on a regular basis for all Senators, Congressmen, Judges and POTUS. We require drug testing, routine physical exams and mental status exams in the airline industry and many businesses for ordinary citizens. Why is there nothing done to confirm the ability of legislators to THINK rationally, given that their actions affect thousands of people? Testing for competence to do the job should apply to everyone.
2 years ago my husband, who is an interventional cardiologist (one who does catheter based procedures as opposed to open surgery) became critically ill. After his recovery he was not allowed to go back to work until completing a 2 DAY session of extensive mental status testing. Why? Because his job affects the health and safety of others, comparable to an airline pilot. It also affects the liability of the hospital and medical group for which he works. THE REASON THAT THE SAME PRECAUTION IS NOT TAKEN FOR LEGISLATORS IS BECAUSE NEITHER THEY NOR THE GO ERNMENT HAS LIABILITY FOR PERSONAL INJURY AND OTHER HARM RESULTING FROM THEIR INCOMPETENT DECISIONS.

It is sad, but most of these elders have kids and hangars on whose continued $$ and position and success depemds on this elder abuse.
Really? Do you think that's why they stay? I think it's ego and being used to controlling. They can't fathom a life without this importance.

Like the old British TV show by the name of "KEEPING UP APPEARANCES"!
A life without an illusion identity will not be tolerated as you lose your youth.
You make a good point. They already have a lot of money.

Pride and Denial are often the "EXACT" same thing!
When you become so immersed in yourself you deny any and all 'failings" of the self.
Even lie...cheat...steal...murder!
“Elder abuse”???? Surely you jest! They know exactly what they’re doing! They don’t care about you or anyone else. They are EVIL.

Dr. M, Thanks for showing that inattention to one's infirmities is a nonpartisan problem!
One party.
“Public Servants” Biden, McConnell, and Feinstein - what an oxymoron! How much have these grifters enriched themselves during their “public service”?

Maybe if you took a class in reading comprehension and then commented, we could all make sense of what you wrote.
Though sadly the replacements are often more horrifying than these geezers...Look at Newsome, Trufeaux, Gerkle.
The goofy yet, (I found) hilarious, movie "Idiocracy" perfectly lampoons this very day.
Agreed, Dr. McCullough. Elder abuse in plain sight.
