"that DeVos was ignorant" sums up the truth succinctly.

Her conflicts of interest would interfere with her revenue stream. Can't have that.

Billionaires should not be expected to actually work or serve. What were they thinking?

Who knew you had to adhere to THAT?

Thinks he controls the Judicial and Legislative branches as well and everything in between. GAH

Bennett was infamous for his ideological purges at DoE; it was under Bennett that the push to impose vouchers and privatize schools really got rolling.

In the end his Vegas gambling outings and orgies got him, so I guess there is a little justice in the world.

I mean, apart from everyone other than the most delusional Trump supporters.

Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out, Betty Boop...

for the same reason that Robert Mercer just resigned from his hedge fund.

incompetence is rewarded in the Turd Administration.

position and department is supposed to be improving. They are the "anti cabinet posts" in this Bizarre World Admin. They are all a disgrace.

I remember someone posting that there were smarter cabinets at IKEA than there are in the current administration.

in charge of government.

to be rolled up by Mueller and Company.

DeVos's data Server was used in conjunction with Trump Tower Servers that communicated to and from ALFA Bank.

Interesting how Electronic Key Strokes never disappear.

just like data,just have to find it. Like we say around the house,wait till the Grand Kids come over and then we can fix this damn computer.

The woman, like her boss, lives in an alternate universe devoid of reality.

One of my College of Ed professors was part of a point/ counter-point editorial series in a Detroit newspaper with Devos years ago. He told this story then, she was known because her husband ran for gov. and lost to Granholm. He told the story of how Devos didn't understand why ALL of Michigan's students were not above average. Let that settle in for a second. It was as if she thought we lived on Lake Wobegon or something. As he was a math teacher for years, he attempted to explain that by definition this was impossible. I'm sure she still didn't get it. I picture a dog looking at a speaker with her held tilted.

Now that's the kind of person we need running our Dept. of Ed.

Seems she would be in the latter category.

and everybody treats you a special and will listen to you if there's money at the end.

All those years and she had no idea of the basic structure of the education system. Hell, who couldn't study up on it by this point.

i am very happy for our kids in public schools today.

maybe that is the best we can hope for Trump appointments. Those like Sessions who know what to do to screw us over are much scarier.

That guy needs to go to jail PERIOD, he alone has set back our environmental cause 40-50 years, people will die because of him.

I worked in the oil industry in Alaska for years, the industry is overseen by the US Coast Guard, the EPA and the ADEC (Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation), I found they were fair in their treatment of the industry as long as you followed the rules and put foreword your best effort to do so.

I've seen an EPA Person out in our parking lot in the dead of winter using the ubiquitous stainless steel soup spoon digging out a stain in the ice for a sample to test.

It was really hard to keep a straight face as I told her that it wasn't a petroleum product, she replied that she would take samples where she wanted to, I mentioned that it was nowhere near the tank farm or the truck loading rack or any source of petroleum, she ignored me and kept on taking samples.

I started to say something and she held up her hand to stop me, I walked away trying to keep from laughing.

They were COFFEE STAINS in the ice from the office workers throwing cold coffee away as the sink was frozen in the office.

We have gone from people who are stewards of our environment and who actually care about dangerous substances and our exposure to them to having a "leader" of that organization throw all their hard work and the progress they've made in the last 60 years in the trash.

That human stain needs to go to jail, it would be a travesty of justice if he doesn't.

Turns out she was a mechanic who didn't even know how to start a car.

They want to funnel taxpayer $$$ to private for profit schools, denigrate public school teachers and decimate public schools, and then want to shut the department down altogether and throw education back to the states. The GOP does not want an educated public. Betsy was perfect for the job.

her real self, so she has to go. She's not a good enough grifter. Neither is her boss, so I'm hoping he quits soon, too.

I for one, am proud of the great education I received in public schools.

Everyday I am amazed how well I was taught grammar and the lot.

Not enough is being done to improve our educational system, and it seems to be that it used to be better as far as basic understanding of things like the English language etc. Just listen to the way millennials and young people speak these days!

It is a fucking embarrassment! (*Rump is no better by any means)

We need somebody dedicated to making the students in the US competitive with the rest of the remaining civilized and intelligent world.

It is a good way to create better jobs that require intellectual skills, instead of having to "import" skilled individuals with better education to run our tech and other modern companies.

If the current administration was not so mind numbingly stupid about everything, and I mean everything, they might realize this.

obviously an idiot .

That seems to be a requirement for Cabinet secs. It also describes their boss.

Rezine-no, that's not right. Resine-that doesn't look right either. Why didn't I go to a public school?

who was headed by who might I ask?



This guy -



who thinks he's this guy -

and privatize everything for their employers , the Koch brothers .

Drumph would just replace her with another buffoon who has never stepped foot inside a public school.

but competence and knowledge are not requirements for jobs with the Trump administration. If DeVos stays, Trump will probably promote her.

being one of the most hated people in the country wasn't working out for her.

Dim wit.
