Former President Trump said he wants President Biden to be drug-tested before their first debate.

“I’m gonna demand a drug test too, by the way,” Trump said at the Minnesota Republican Party’s Lincoln Reagan Dinner Friday. “I am, no I really am. I don’t want him coming in like the State of the Union, he was high as a kite.”

Trump has previously stated in a radio interview that Biden was “all jacked up” at the beginning of his State of the Union address, as well as “higher than a kite.”

As long as at least 1 other person in the country is still voting, "not voting" will never invalidate the system. There's no quorum that has to be met. If only 7 ballots get cast in your state, then all the votes go to the guy that got 4. All you've done by refusing to participate is give the make the other voices louder.

You get no argument from me! 100% agree. I'm as frustrated as anyone that this is the case, but it is. Maybe everyone has to have their one "reform" vote lesson. I voted for Nader once. I still get a hard time for that from some people.
