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.

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

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

    Agriculture was a mistake.

    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.
