The department of education is suppose to protect and ensure all students have access to education. Her beliefs will not protect students and will in fact harm them.

That Betsy Devos is even allowed within 50 feet of a school is a testament to why this country is doomed.

Sadly the only people who will suffer for her ineptitude are American students. Given the opportunity she will put the whole system in the hands of a fundamentalist minority and expect the government to subsidize it.

Her cabinet appointment is only a side gig she can use to boost the family fortune. She’s invested in charter schools, and made it harder to get out of predatory student loans. She also happens to own stock in the companies that collect the student debt. Just another GOP Christian profiting from human misery.

“Tiffany? Tell Cohen to give her some money to go away. I’ll pay him back later.”

Sure, the Iraq war set the middle east on fire, created ISIS, started the biggest migrant crisis in recent history, after the economy crisis made entire countries collapse, but let’s remember Bush jr. for painting dogs. Jeez...

Corollary: the people we’re killing over there weren’t born when we invaded.

We’ve got a breaking story to cover here in the Splinter Comment Section. I’m being told that the American press is vapid and awful and nearly as bad as the awful politicians they cover, largely because they’re all paid by the exact same people. Sources are telling the Splinter Comment Section that bullshit like this…

This stroll down memory lane of the aughts has been fun. Thank y0u. It made me realize if the Afghan war was a human; it would be old enough to attend high school and might even participate in the walkout on Wednesday.

As someone who’s made a professional career in education policy, let me say: hahahahahahaha fuck you, DeVos.

His base is the lowest-common denominator. His base will think this is awesome. His base thinks this makes him look like a stud. And the evangelicals who comprise his other supporters will look the other way like the hypocrites they already are about so many, many other things.

As a guy I am really turned off by any porn with a rapey vibe to it, which includes a lot of “lesbian porn for straight guys” that presupposes that “convincing” a straight girl to a lesbian interlude is particularly hot. Not so much.

Not to say that Elizabeth Warren has any native heritage to find, but I’m surprised so many people seem to have so much faith in these DNA tests. People treat the most like they’re solid science, but they’re barely more trustworthy than your horoscope. You can get different results depending on which company you…

This speech embodies why I want nothing to do with anybody who supports Trump.

Are you going to mention this at all? Three innocent people lost their lives

Radio Clash on pirate satellite!

UK Update:

This bullshit of, “What’s in their heart is what matters and who can really know that?” Needs to fucking stop.
You associate as a Neo-Nazi, you are trash. Full stop. No, “Unless you just want economic security” or some shit.

A couple of points to provide context for the story:

Between email and the Amazon contract, the game has changed for mail carriers significantly. There’s significantly fewer letter-sized parcels and significantly more boxes. Rural carriers have been getting just hammered, many having smaller, fuel efficient cars (the post office pays mileage for rural carriers instead…
