Devos Confirmed

[Felya]

Well at least we still have the internet to learn stuff.

[AeneasBK]

While there are many questionable decisions made by Trump since this election, this particular decision takes the lead without a single inch of a doubt as the worst.

But there's something that annoys me in this. Devos has a lot of deserved criticism on her, but there's one which is incredibly hypocritical from some democrats here.

If you're part of the crowd who've said the pay to play scheme from Clinton were just business as usual, well, there you have it: business as usual got you Devos.

So while I despise her and I feel terribly, horribly sorry for the kids whom future will be broken by a rich nutjob... remember that it's only business as usual.

So stop criticizing the fact that she paid for her spot, it only makes you look even worse than before. Focus on real criticism: her complete incompetence.

I was just thinking. If Jeff Sessions' confirmation vote hadn't been held up he wouldn't have been able to cast essentially the 50th vote making it a tie. His seat would have been vacant. She wouldn't have been confirmed.

You are correct that is because democrats have no leadership or plan until recently they were trying to bend over I mean work with Trump.

that's for the democrats to do, the rest of us who are against it no matter who does it? nah, we'll keep calling it out.

I've been particularly careful with my words. Pay to play is disgusting. But some people who are quite vocal here are tremendous hypocrites and they know who they are. If you do not consider yourself in that group, then there's no shame in speaking against it.

Just to be clear, AFAIK nothing Clinton did was as wrong or as blatant as Devos buying her way into a cabinet position. The worst 'pay for play' incident (and I still dispute that donations to a charity qualify for that term) was for access, not an unearned position of power. Lay off the false equivalencies already; the election's over. Though I agree her total lack of qualifications is somewhat more damning than having bribed Trump for it.

Both are damning. Pay to play will happen, always will. Being incompetent doesn't have to happen. Focus there, on the incompetent part.

...or maybe not. The Church of Satan should be able to get federal funds to open schools. If her religious fuckery goes through.

ahhh I can send my kids to wizarding school!

I find it funny that democracy in the US is more or less the same as the "democracy" in 3rd world countries like Somalia. Of course there's the slight distinction between clan leaders and oligarchs. Both receive money from the Saudi's to influence politics though.

[Bighud44]

I'm embarrassed to be American.

You have the right to leave. We wont miss you.

Youre a wizard harry

No no, flying on brooms is right out. Too dangerous. The kids might learn to sweep floors or something.

I found a picture of the new cabinet in session. It didn't take 500 years, only 10.

[Varvara Spiros Gelashvili]

just around the time when my daughter is old enough to go to school (she's 9 months).

bootstraps!

Well now no one can blame democrats. Waiting eagerly for all the Nobel nominations Trump's eager followers are about to receive, not that they care for education.

[Airwaves]

Nation didn't vote for Trump ... let's not forget that.

Yes you did. Not voting at all also got trump elected. Non voters hold just as much of the blame as trump voters. If everyone was required to vote someone like trump wouldn't have even made it past the first round.

[May90]

But will her professional growth compensate for the lack of proficiency? Remains to be seen!



So, when is Trump going to appoint a horse to the senate?

[Wyrt]

Why is this level of direct and blatant bribery even legal in the US?
