Who cares… We’re all going to be dead soon anyway, so might as well let the religious kooks do whatever they want. AmIright?
Is this the girl who cleans her house? If so, I could think of different jobs that a billionaire could give a person she was trying to help succeed. Though I guess if she did that who would pick up after the dogs?
Must be another one of those ‘end of times’ nuts.
I do have kids. I am quite used to being judged.
SteveG1, don’t pay any attention to fervour. He is just another false prophet pretending to speak on behalf of me.
Sometimes I think so.
If the whole world becomes Idiocracy, or rules by a Christian Taliban, or becomes ruined under pollution, well, I’ll be dead, so let those that created it suffer under it. And on my death bed, I can imagine how the future historians will speak of the late 21st Century. The Second Dark Ages?
Whatever. I don’t buy into that wannabe judge’s bullshit any more than I buy into the Sharia law, Taliban, dominionist, reconstructionist, or any other horse shit.
I refuse to follow Islam. I refuse to follow Calvinism, I refuse to follow Southern Baptistism (whatever). I refuse to follow Judaism. I refuse to follow Buddhism.
You want to follow one or the other? FINE.
But don’t put your crap on ME.
If you will not obey, enforce, and uphold the Constitution, the law as written, as a public official must swear an oath to do, then DON’T BECOME ONE. Stay home. That includes wannabe judges.
Cthulhu? Is that you?
Sounds like one of those activist judges.
(a) I only know what I gathered from This American Life
(b) After this, please stop making me defend DeVos
(c) As I understand it, there is a mother struggling to raise her child. The mother keeps losing jobs because of intermittent health issues. DeVos hires the mom full-time, personally mentors the kid in school, helps the kid get into a private high school, pays part of the kid’s tuition at the private high school, and also hires the kid part time over summers, to work with her mom. Without knowing the full facts (maybe DeVos DID also get the kid a summer internship at some business she owns… maybe the kid really likes working at the DeVos house because she’s near her mom and people like her… maybe the kid is only 14 and just too young for any more serious job and likes having spending money in her pocket) it’s pretty preposterous to be bashing someone who is doing something truly good and charitable because we assume she’s doing it in a classist way.
(d) But, my main point is, none of the above in any way indicates that she has any qualifications for the post of Secretary of Education, and in fact can ironically and tragically work against her.
Why assign to malevolence what can adequately be explained by incompetence?
You’re talking about a Trump appointee, right, so of course it can be both malevolence and incompetence. ISTR some judge making that very point a few oh so mighty long months ago.
By incompetence and greed, don’t forget greed.

OT: May I say how much I enjoy your username?
Trump tweeted a video memorializing 9/11 that consisted of images of him, with a tiny bit of Melania.
We’ve already seen her bits and they’re not tiny.
No footage of the thousands of mooslims cheering?
Is it wrong to be imagining the current FLOTUS and a certain scene from Basic Instinct?
Because her brother is Eric fucking Prince, that is why. I realize that malevolence does not always run in the family, but that has to be one damn fucked up family.
Oh, now that is truly scary! We don’t need these religious-nutter fuckwits in office or as judges. YUCK!
