Andy Borowitz is a humorist, probably the best in the country. He notes here that President Biden has exercised the new power of immunity for his official actions granted him by the U.S. Supreme Court. Very likely the rightwing majority created that “one person is above the law” exemption with the expectation that Trump would be the next president. Maybe they will reverse their decision when Kamala Harris is elected President.
Borowitz writes:
WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—Using the sweeping presidential immunity recently granted him by the U.S. Supreme Court, President Biden on Tuesday replaced Judge Aileen Cannon with his dog, Commander.
The legal community’s initial reaction to the appointment was favorable, with most experts agreeing that Judge Commander is an improvement over Judge Cannon.
In his first official act, the German Shepherd reversed Cannon’s ruling on the Trump documents case by eating it.
President Biden had no comment on Commander’s decision, other than, “Good boy.”
In a positive development for Judge Cannon, a GoFundMe has been established to send her to law school.

“…that “one person is above the law” exemption..”
Biden could actually do this under the immunity ruling. It would be laughable if it were not so serious. Luckily, the Supreme Court also has demonstrated its willingness to apply the same immunity from accountability to itself, assuming the mantle Cardinal Richelieu placed on himself through the church and it’s power.
Not to worry. If Biden chooses Commander to replace Cannon, our all powerful Supreme Court will step in.

Test to Determine Presidential Fitness (PRE-FIT)
With doubts about Joe Biden’s mental acuity no longer the central issue in this year’s election, the media frenzy should now finally shift to Donald Trump’s incoherence. Here’s a direct way to provide information about whether our “stable genius” should sit in the Oval Office come January 2025.
This quiz will shed light on his memory, knowledge of the world and ability to stay focused. The public—especially the “undecideds,” independents and “neither-party” non-voters have a right to decisive data.
The PRE-FIT Test consists of 10 items worth up to ten points apiece with a top score of 100. It offers an empirical way to determine his competence—the only alternative we will have once he refuses to debate Kamala Harris.
The 15-minute test will be broadcast live, administered and scored on any day from now until a week before Election Day. The answer key will be posted once he has finished. Final scores will be tallied and certified by the League of Women Voters. Results cannot be challenged.
Mr. Trump gets to choose the person who’ll read the questions to him. He must respond verbally.
Directions, Questions and Correct Answers
The reader says, “Mr. Trump, you have 15 minutes to respond to this test. All questions have been kept secure. Use your time wisely. Good luck. Here is the first question:” [Reader moves through the items at a steady pace.]
— I will say three words. Listen carefully. Remember them. I will ask you to repeat them
later: Crow; Peanut; Trombone.
2. Who is China’s leader?
3. What U.S. agency is known as the IRS?
4. How many ounces are in a Quarter Pounder?
5. If today is September 28th, what will the date be one week from now?
6. Fill in the blanks: as blank as a fox; blank as an owl; blank as a bat.
7. Say the three words I asked you to remember.
8. Cardi B is the name of: a. a vitamin; b. a perfume; c. a singer; d. a virus.
9 Name three countries in Africa.
10. If the annual rate of interest is 3.5%, how much will $100 be worth in a year?
Answer Key: 1. North Atlantic Treaty Organization; 2. Xi Jinping; 3. The Internal Revenue Service; 4. Four oz.; 5. October 4th; 6. Sly-Wise-Blind*; 7. Crow; Peanut; Trombone—in any order)*; 8. c. a singer; 9. Any 3 out of 54 countries to name*; 10. $103.50. *Partial credit of 5 points is awarded for two correct answers.
By the way, when high school seniors tried out these items, their average score was 40%.
The reader says, “Thank you. That concludes your test.
Incidentally, PRE-FIT can be adapted for use in future primaries leading to each party’s nomination.)

As a math teacher, I have often wondered about questions like How many ounces in a quarter pounder.
On the surface, this seems easy, because most people will see that this as a simple conversion, but in the years I spent making up questions that would ready the student for future tests, I realize one of the test makers’ favorite sports is to divert the attention of the reader from the real goal. I cannot tell you how many students would be diverted from the real question by asking it this way. So what is the legitimate way for a teacher to see of the student can change familiar measures?

“How many ounces of pre-cooked pink slime is in a McD’s quarter pounder?”
Clarifies that, eh?
Actually it doesn’t.
I proctored a SAT 9 test given to HS freshman. I think the minimum percent of questions that I had serious questions about in the various sections was something like 35%. With the best/worst one being “In the space provided write as many math sentences as you can.”
How many could that be?
Oh, to answer your question. . . Write questions that are so simple that there cannot be any questioning of the question.

Traitor Trump lives in Florida. Why not require the traitor to take all end of course standardized tests that are required to earn a high school diploma in Florida. (I googled it)
Under supervision of course since the traitor is a serial liar and cheater and can’t be trusted. The walls of this room will also be Faraday cage.
The supervisors will be all living former presidents and their wives, if they are still alive.
The Traitor sits at his desk surrounded by a circle of desks with the supervisors watching his every move. Hillary gets the desk facing the traitor, so her face is the first face he sees every time he looks up.
Alone the walls are all their Secret Service agents, also watching to make sure none of the other former presidents and/or their wives attempt to get rid of the traitor.
Since this test is to qualify the traitor to run for president, to pass that test, Traitor Trump must earn a 90% or higher score. Meaning, 90% of the total number of questions must be correct.

Love it. We do a better job of vetting someone to run a neighborhood gas station than we do of vetting someone to be president. I mean, how moronic do you have to be to mistake a dementia screening for an IQ test?

Who’s smarter than Cannon? Yes, sir. Yes you are, Commander, good boy. Who has a better command of the law? You do. Of course you do. She’s an amoral idiot. That’s a good boy.
