Last night I listened to an NPR show @ Betsy DeVos and her time as a mentor in a low income school. I missed the beginning, but the teachers who were interviewed talked about how profoundly misguided she was. She took a shine to one family and bought them a car, but never tried to figure out what would actually help

I guess I just don’t understand what the end game is here? Is there a family member that habitually assaults women? Do they need to change the rules so none of their own?

I’m honestly astonished that France opening its doors to American climate scientists has been the only news story I’ve heard so far about a developed nation going out of its way to seek educated Americans who want to leave. A brain drain is coming, and the first nation that starts aggressively pursuing smart American

I’d rather roll back Betsy DeVos’s reign of terror.

To be fair Betsy Devos may literally be too sheltered and too stupid to grasp how evil she is, then again Eric Prince is her brother and he’s a bad 80s action villain.

By removing forced protections, they’re creating a survival-of-the-“fittest” situation where “fittest” is whoever they like most as a demographic.

I also think De Vos was bred in the same petri dish as Phyllis Schlafley - ie. “all women should forget about anything but fulfilling their Godly duty to keep the home and submit to their husbands...all women but me because I am the special anointed one to send this message to the wee little lambs”. Title IX is just

Because Obama did it or liked it. And because so much of GOP politics and Trump’s in particular begin and end with “Fuck Obama”. They really got put out by those eight years of a black man running the country and actually being really good at it, they need to screw over his legacy as much as possible.

And it has been not even a year...

Every cabinet member appears to be in a deranged competition to see who can do the most brazenly awful things.

It’s this weird-ass sort of eugenics they’re wanting to do. If you can’t “hack it” through their bullshit American hazing ritual — involving being the right skin color, conforming to certain cultural roles they want to enforce, etc — you just don’t make it and out you go. By removing forced protections, they’re

WHY ARE THESE BOZOS SO HOT TO LIVE IN A FRIGID WASTELAND OF SELFISHNESS AND GREED!?

I guess I don’t understand. Why is it a bad thing to protect against sex discrimination? Or to keep pollution out of our air & water? Or to pay people equally for the same job? Or to have regulations in place to keep buildings from falling down or people from being poisoned? I just can’t wrap my mind around whatever

Ok. Help me think like a Trumpanzee.

It does make you wonder why she doesn’t keep the PR firm on retainer instead of contracting them only after she’s gotten herself into it. Maybe that’ll be her true lesson learnt. 😂

I’m going to go with the latter. Also, presenting a more genuine face to the world is probably a no go. I don’t believe for a second she’s an easy going gal who just wants to hang with her computer and her dog. Whoever the real person who’s made all these clueless, poser choices is, she’s probably not all that

I’m more surprised she still doesn’t understand the rules of being a trophy wife. The most important rule of all: don’t get the gravy train in trouble!

Important question. Doesn’t “Washington Life” (whatever that is) have enough dough to spring for a garment steamer?

This woman has a set of Balls & Galas on her to expect us to accept this bullshit Mea Culpa.
