    Ok well fair enough, I should not have invoked the troll name.

    But make no mistake, President #45 is lying to the American public every day.

    Meanwhile, I'm not sure how comfortable I am with protesters blocking Betsy DeVos from entering the middle school. As much as that woman is a horrible, terrible mess, I don't believe in barring her entry like that. Even if she's going to be shitty at her job (before the republicans dissolve the Department of Education), at least let her TRY to do it. Let her prove how incompetent she is.

    I accept that every president in my lifetime (going back to LBJ) lied routinely to the American public, President #44 was no different, and Trump is no different either. I personally believe that education is a state level responsibility, not a federal one. (but I wont go into that)... I'll stick with I personally believe that DeVos is a horrible pick. Unfortunately her confirmation was made possible back in 2013.

    Also, if you think Trump is the same as other presidents you have not been paying attention.
    I said they all lie, which is true. I did NOT say he was the same as other presidents. I submit you weren't paying attention.

    The Teacher Unions condemned the protesters for blocking DeVos.

    The president of the American Federation of Teachers on Friday condemned protests barring Education Secretary Betsy DeVos from entering a Washington, D.C. middle school.

    “Just heard a protester blocked & almost knocked Secy @BetsyDeVos down at Jefferson.We don't condone such acts.We want her to go to pub schls,” Randi Weingarten tweeted.

    Yeah, exactly, let her fail on her own merit, there's no reason to get in her way.

    Precisely. It's not like the Teacher Unions want to be "friends" with her. They certainly want her to fail.

    Blocking her makes the protesters look petty and bad and the Unions know that.

    Yeah, and don't stop that drunk driver. He'll learn his lesson soon enough! Pity about all the casualties.
