“You answered 11 of 12 questions correctly.”

I missed the women/Supreme Court question.

11 out of 12

I also got the women Supreme Court justices wrong. I must have thought Ginsburg was a guy.

9/12. So, i guess the plan is to start off easy peasy and then build up to expert level tests. Better start boning up on my nucular physics.

Yep me too, 11 out of 12 and that was the one I missed.

Did you notice that the 18-29 age group had the worst showing of all the age groups?
Probably too busy fiddling with some app on their phones.

11 of 12. Missed the wimmins on the Supreme Court.

I saw something the other day that according to a pewreasearch study, ‘Murican citizens own half a billion guns and this is more that all other citizens of the world AND their military’s COMBINED.

I don’t see anything wrong with that but it seems rather unbelievable.

Also 11/12 and missed the women/supreme court question. I think we have a trend here.

Hubby got 10/12. Missed the women/supreme court and who is Malala Yousafzai. Not bad when he claims that he doesn’t follow the news at all.

12/12, but I knew Stephanie Breyer is supposed to be considered a man like Caitlyn Jenner is supposed to be considered a woman.

Crap! 10/12 Well all I can say is I don’t follow Muslim women or ugly female justices. I remembered RBG and Soda MyOder or what ever here name is but I couldn’t think of any one else

9/12.

Not an American. How am I supposed to know how many female judges you have on your supreme court, or how your senate is made up.

But showing proof of health care insurance to file your f…… taxes ?? lmao !!

I managed to get 12/12. I was certain of the SCOTUS ladies, but I made a lucky guess on Malala Y.

12 of 12. I guessed at the correct Senate ratio. Naming the nine Justices is a favorite party trick of mine; Roberts, Alito, Scalia, Kennedy, Breyer, Kagan, Sotomayor, Ginsberg, Thomas.

11/12. Knew the supreme court justices (c’mon, youse guys) but missed the Senate party affiliation. Because they’re all in the Elite party.

I gottem all right except the one where it asks you if you’re male or female.

Dang, and I had a 50 50 chance, too,

Not bad for a fella with a fourth grade education. I would have went to the fifth grade, but I didn’t want to pass my Dad.

Homer, What part of Hootin’ Holler Hills Valley are you from? Do you know BW’s family Thelma Ray and Cecil Beaudreau?

starfcker . I take it Stuck was sucked in by the poor budding tech genius Ahmed abuse at the hands of those evil raciss and bigots? …but then again he is the resident TBP feminist and thus triggered easily.

12/12 better than 90%. I am really afraid of that 90%.

Homer, my grandfather’s name really was Homer. He only had an 8th grade education, but after he retired he read every book he could get his hands on. He was one of the most intelligent people I ever knew. If he was still alive I’m sure he would have gotten 12/12. He’s been gone nearly 40 years and I still miss him.

11 of 12, didn’t know who the hooded woman was but have looked her up and remember her story now. Better choice by a mile than Hussein.
