I got just a blue screen. Do I have to go back somewhere?

That symbolizes the ocean that your patriarchal oppressive misogynist *phobe ancestors crossed to despoil this pristine land.

I got that, too.

Pepto Bismol for the win, Alex.

Is the test, how long I'm willing to stare at the blue box, waiting for something to happen? I lasted about 12 seconds, I think. What's my score?

Your computers are protecting you from flash. They do that. Sierra and High Sierra give a dialogue box, "do you want to use flash just this once?"

No worries. You all get 100%. It's easy. They all are.

Here's one hosted by CNN

10/10. I get to stay, right?

OK, so when do we deport CNN?

FWIW Speaking of citizenship, Jones "won" Tuesday by 4/5 of a %.

But, since Gateway has a Fox clip of some snowflake bragging on camera how he and his little friends were bused in to vote, does that explain why the paper ballots were all destroyed yesterday?

How does one know how many House Members there are, other then knowing how to google for the answer?

Oh I see, that number was fixed by law in 1911, after a change from 391 to 435 was made due to significant POPULATION GROWTH over a HUNDRED years ago!

Its a wonder that fact didn't land or stay fixed in my mind or connect to the awareness that no fixing or adjustment for population growth has taken place since. It's also no wonder young people find politics peculiar.

I'm feeling defensive and snappy because I'd have missed it by one if I didn't have additional resource at hand.

If the number of Representatives were doubled, would that make lobbying too unwieldy, and therefore clean up more swamp? No, I don't think so either.

I just saw the blue screen and quickly lost interest.

I did about 35 questions (missing one) before getting tired of it. The test is out of date (Obama is no longer President, 3 questions referred to him, Biden and their party) There was a question of what the Supreme court does. The answer was they review and explain laws, but one of the wrong options was that they write laws, which is untrue as regarding John Roberts and Obamacare for one. There was also a question regarding pledging loyalty to the US and renouncing old loyalties, when becoming a new citizen. The seems murky as there are many people with dual citizenships. (Hell,we've got Mexican politicians campaigning here). I think there may be a few in elected offices as well.

I had to change browsers to avoid the blue screen.
