    The amount of his picks that are involved with sexual abuse of minors seems pretty over-the-top even for a republican administration. At this point, do any of them not have histories of involvement with sexual abuse and/or harassment? Maybe Oz… idk.

      It’s definitely a stretch, but she’s not completely unqualified… I’m not saying she’s a good pick either, but she did at least serve on the board of education for Connecticut for about a year.

      Mostly continuing the theme of Trump picking random ass people he knows and throwing them wherever it fits, but this isn’t likely to be the worst one.

    The McMahons are so weird.

    It’s kinda funny how Vince funded two failed campaigns, and the second the two seem to be estranged Linda has found political power through Trump.

    I have no idea if Vince and Linda are still together, since they’ve been mostly separated for years now, but I wonder if this will also open doors for Vince considering he was booted out of TKO/WWE for the recent abus allegations.

    I think this is the first person who’s coming back from the previous Trump term, although in the first term she was on the small business administration, which makes somewhat more sense (though still not a lot considering) for someone who ran a pro wrestling business.

    Given that the US education system is wrestling with so many problems, maybe she is the right choice. /s

    I don’t know what DOE employees did in a past life to deserve devos and whatever the fuck choice this is.

      I dunno about their past lives either, but in this they made the eternal fuck up of wanting to impact American education at a time when the country was sliding into fascism.
