Drug Testing Presidential Candidates
Dilbert.com ^ | 8/7/2016 | Scott Adams

...perhaps you have never been around people taking powerful prescription drugs. Many meds influence decision-making, either directly or indirectly. You know from your own experience that you can make different decisions when you are hungry or tired. Prescription drugs often have side-effects on the body that can influence decisions. Do you want the nuclear codes in the hands of Big Pharma, in effect? That sounds scary to me.

This is a very interesting premise. Imagine getting a candidate elected but having that president so drugged up that she is entirely controlled by her handlers.

I have known people whose personalities were totally changed on prescription mood drugs. They are like zombies who think life is great and they do not think there are any real problems.

Prescription drugs often have side-effects

In Hillary's case, it seems to have zoned her out.

This brings us to Hillary Clinton.

To say nothing of Gary Johnson.

My mom lives in a retirement community city and he has quite a few friends here. All the women she knows are on one or several antidepressants and other drugs. Being around them is like being in a utopia where everyone is happy. Wow!

That's like closing the front door after the drug addict waltzed in.

I’d like to see us at least start randomly drug test those buffoons in Congress.

Who can guarantee that the Choom Gang member in the white hut right now isn’t exactly that? VJ doesn’t need his two cents worth to decide how to run the Country. Case in point: She’s doing it while he’s getting stoned in Martha’s Truckpatch even as I type.

On the plus side, with her mental impairments she’ll get even more slaughtered in the debates with Trump. I don’t think her doctors can pep her up enough.

It’s come on pretty fast. She was still articulate and focused in the Bernie debates.

It seemed that 95% of the jobs I ever had required a drug test.

I worked for one state gov-co agency that never tested anyone in the decade I was there.

If I can ever pass one test in my life, it will be a drug one.

That makes two of us. I filled my share of bottles while in the military.

Obama never said he stopped snorting coke and smoking pot. Heck, I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised if he has a jenkem habit.

I figure that's what was going on the night of the Benghazi slaughter on 9/11/12 when Obama was not present in the White House situation room.

The Great Choomer was probably upstairs zonked out of his gourd on pot, cocaine or crack.

Excerpts from "Dreams from My Father" by Barack Obama:

"Pot had helped, and booze; maybe a little blow when you could afford it."

"I had discovered that it didn't make any difference whether you smoked reefer in the white classmmate's sparkling new van, or in the dorm room of some brother you'd met at the gym, or on the beach with a couple of Hawaiian kids who had dropped out of school and now spent most of their time looking for an excuse to brawl."

if you have to drug test to qualify to drive a bus then you should have to drug test to run a country

I had to p** in the bottle regularly while in the Army.

If the chain of command begins with PFC Joe Snuffy and ends with the commander in chief, why shouldn’t every pea picking last member of that chain be drug tested?

Drug and alcohol testing and a timed written exam on the Constitution in order to get on any ballot. Regular repeats while in office.
