"Like many a Trump nominee, McMahon seems to have no idea what’s happening in the administration she wants to join."
To be fair she didn't seem to have any idea what was happening (ie: the hush money payoffs her ex-husband was using company money for) in her marriage so....that tracks.
It’s cute how the GOP pick out a single sentence or phrase uttered by MLK Jr. to appropriate his virtue and dignity instead of simply denouncing him as a dangerous radical threatening the white status quo as the FBI did when he was alive. Better to pretend he actually enjoyed segregation and oppression. If only he were here now.
Ta, Dok. Oh, Linda Mac, if you had any integrity whatsoever (you don't), you'd withdraw your name from consideration for a position about which you know less than nothing.
IOW, Linda McMahon doesn't have a clue about what she's supposed to do as Secretary of Education. Well, that fits just about every FFOTUS nominee so far. One wonders if she'll introduce "Royal Rumble" type contests to determine which teachers get to teach.
This confirmation hearing has the stink of kayfabe ( see - I do know some pro wrestling lingo )
why are these appointees not being asked if they've done any advance homework about the department they're about to lead WHICH AFFECTS MOST AMERICANS???
they just get away with scratching their heads quizzically.
Holy fuck these hearings are a waste of time because there's no disincentive for a Republican nominee to lie. All they have to do is mouth words and then once put in (because of their unreconstructed majority) they can just wild out.
Bless Murphy for trying. But again we all know what's going to happen, and we know the job of these potted plants is to destroy the agencies they are in charge of so the benefactors of the unreconstructed party can profit, and their supporters can wild out with the discrimination they seek to visit upon minorities.
It's weird how every question on the bar exam is a legal hypothetical and yet the correct answer to every legal hypothetical at a confirmation hearing is "I can't answer hypotheticals"
I can't believe I spent all that time and money on bar exam prep when the answer was so easy
OT: I see there is an effort underway to organize nationwide protests on President's Day, February 17th. Think I'll head down to the Capitol building in Sacramento to hang out with like-minded folks.
I remember in 8th grade we had New Mexico history. On the first day of class the teacher explained that some of our ancestors did things we should be proud of and some ancestors did things we think are wrong, but since none of us were alive to change anything at that time we should not feel bad or responsible if some of our ancestors were not people we are proud of now. And everyone understood what he was saying.
All I know is that it is GREEN so obviously healthy. It could be green sawdust you add water to, but if I drink it in public people will know that I'm healthy.
Katy can fuck a duck. I remember her fawning over him during the convention. She called him Serene. She loves having John Kasich on her show. Can't stand her.
I have been teaching kids with interference of clueless administrators for decades. I will continue to teach kids. F her.
What, no French Club??!!
That's where all the cool chicks hung out in my High School.
I think you mean Freedom Club.

The followup to that response should always be, "Can you give us another quote by Martin Luther King, Jr. that is particularly meaningful to you?
Unfair question! It's like asking trump about his favorite bible quotes ON AIR!
The right is dark and full of terrorists.

Tell me if this is offensive and I'll delete it, but I cannot see Linda MacMahon without thinking of Pansy 'Mammy" Yokum.

They have had a lifetime of getting by without real qualifications or accomplishments. You expect them to swot up now?

Potted plants LIBELZ!!!1!!!!11!!!!!!!
Lie lie lie, get confirmed, do the opposite. Just like the Supreme Court nominees.
Now that's just unfairly inaccurate.
It's lie, lie, lie, take money, get confirmed, take money, do the opposite, take money.
I didn’t realize when you take a test you could just dodge the questions
MCAT question 1 - What would you do for a patient with a collapsed lung?
Me - Sorry I can’t answer a hypothetical question like that.
Nailed it!
Not to brag or anything, but that’s how I did so well on the MCAT and got in to medikul skool.

Shit, I wish I'd known that in my anatomy exam
"Draw a labelled sagittal cross-section of the male pelvis at the midpoint" (this was a real question)
answer: due to congenital differentiators in human anatomy this question is moot
(Raises hand)
"Um...professor? I left my sagittal out overnight and the dog ate it."

Also heard about a boycott on the 28th... not sure since I'll just be "boycotting everything" broke

Yes. We do not have to achieve an erection over EVERY little bit of our history.
That's far too rational for the modern GOP.
I did not think it would be possible to do worse than DeVos, but, as usual, yambo proves me wrong.
Never, ever assume that Trump has peaked. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bfpPArfDTGw
Whilst I hate to belabor a point the FACT remains that there is no bottom here.
I always thought of infinity as the expanding wonder of the Universe, but apparently it is the black hole of GQP ethics.
I have accepted that while intellect has its limits, dumbass is bottomless, as in there is no fucking bottom. Idiocy is a virus.
Einstein said the difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has limits.
And uneducated is a virtue...
This is the zombie apocalypse.
Anyone here drink AG1 (just saw an ad)? Does it cause you to fart flames?
All I know is that it is GREEN so obviously healthy. It could be green sawdust you add water to, but if I drink it in public people will know that I'm healthy.
So Lucky Charms count, right?
Just the four-leaf clovers. You have to pick out the pink hearts first.
Don't forget the rainbows!
Rainbows are ILLEGAL now
Katy asks Ravi is we're living in a new world dear. Honey let me tell you.
Katy can fuck a duck. I remember her fawning over him during the convention. She called him Serene. She loves having John Kasich on her show. Can't stand her.
Giver her a break, she's so lonely.
