19th Ward Chicago: Shouldn't we be licensing the politicians?

Shouldn't we be licensing the politicians?

Maybe it's time we start testing people for basic competence before we let them run for public office.
We could test for:

knowledge of basic english
knowledge of basic math particularly multiplication
ability to tell the truth
ability to tell directions
ability to read a map
do they have a drivers license (you can tell allot about someone if they don't have a drivers license)
are they current on their tax returns
any criminal record?

All I am talking about is basic competence to run the government. If you ask me there are too many people with below marginal abilities, running around telling us what to do.

All elected officials should be required to wear body cameras with audio at all times.

Jay Bob and Lori never held elective office before, neither Richard Phelan, Brucie Rauner, Jimmy Robby Thompson and Janie Margaret Burke Byrne McMullen. ☹️

The minimum requirements are usually age, residency and no felonies. :-\

This blog is about

This blog is non-monetized and uses photos and materials from other sources. It is in compliance with Fair Use Section 107 of the U.S. Copyright Code. Music, videos and mugshots are for entertainment and disincentive purposes only. Any similarities or resemblances to people or pets, living, dead or imprisoned is just your imagination. Some stories are true, some are fictional while some of the stories are funny.

The theme of this blog has changed. We are now headed into a period of extreme political and economic troubles. We want to increase everyone's awareness and show them how to weather the storm. We are going to begin including articles and videos on prepping (food, water, shelter, medicine, self-defense,) basic economics and general SHTF lifestyle changes.

I am not going to be critical of 19th ward politicians. They tend to do the best job they can with very limited resources, and don't need to be beaten up. In fact, people should be helping them as they are among the last "normal" leaders in Illinois.

I am keeping the 19th Ward Chicago name because of the rich blog history going back to 2010 and because there is a ready-made base of similar-thinking readers. For now on, the 19th Ward of Chicago will be mainly a point of reference, an observation deck if you will. A place where allot of good-natured, normal-thinking people still live and can safely view the dysfunction overtaking America. Write whatever you want about whatever or whomever you want. Just keep it true and not vulgar.

At all times, we am going to comply with Blogspot's community standards. We have seen what happens when there is not such compliance.

We will never publish threats of physical violence or baseless attacks on people or institutions.
