Secretary of Education - that would be Linda McMahon: politician, business executive, and former professional wrestling promoter.

Jesus Fucking Christ no wonder the world laughs at us. "You want I should teach dem skools a lesson, boss?"

It's so American to be ashamed of the world laughing at us, and not at all the heinous shit we've done.

[-] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago

Maybe it's also American to understand I was expressing shame at being heinous, I dunno.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

I feel barely human most days, because we are all collectively heinous, so I must have missed that.

Agriculture was a mistake.

The real trouble starts when you hit the two rocks together.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Nah, the rocks are fine. It's putting seeds in the ground that's the problem. That's how the seeds get you to do their bidding.

I'm fully onboard that you past shouldn't matter if you're good. I won't hold it against Linda McMahon for her WWE performances etc. But she's an odd cookie and has no place running education.

Yeah that's really my point. The head of any government department should have past experience related to what that department does. Same requirement as for ANY job - you don't get hired as head chef if you've never even worked in a kitchen FFS. Trump's appointments are a festival of incompetence.

Vince McMahon‘s daughter is the secretary of education?

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

No, it’s his wife, who has collaborated in a bunch of his fucked up endeavors, likely including helping with sex trafficking.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Don't think so, she's only 3 years younger (76).

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Oh. Must be his wife
