I'm personally hoping he gets a Darwin Award (www.darwinawards.com/ - I've yet to work out hyperlinks on here...). Soon.

(I don't feel as bad for saying that as I really ought to.)

Apparently even normal links are beyond me atm

Let's hope it's spectacular. Or weirdly benal.

Deejoda great article, thanks. Irony is, give it 20 more years and caucasians, if there is such a distinction will be the minority in the US. Maybe that's why they're making their women become handmaids to be white baby producers. Egits. And a lot of college boys are these alt right types too aren't they.

AcrossthePond good to hear a real story on ACA. Even during his tenure, Obama will have benefited a lot of lives?

Sean Spicer is not so much a @PressSec as he is a very vigorous cheerleader.

Knowing nothing about education. It's the credentials she needs for Trump.

I understand (was it linked earlier?) that Trump's people wanted someone for the Supreme Court NOT from an Ivy League University.
Not sure if to shown non-elitism, or to dumb it down. Maybe they were aiming for Trump University.

Republican Sens. Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski announce their opposition to Betsy DeVos for education secretary.

Two GOP Senators have announced they won't vote for DeVos
But three were needed.
One more, with guts.

"If all other GOP senators support DeVos as expected, and all Democrats oppose her, she would end up with a 50-50 vote in the Senate and Vice President Mike Pence would have to break the tie to confirm her."

Okay, need at least one more GOP to oppose her. Fingers crossed, because we all know Pence will confirm her.

x post Lweji

Original - "But what are her credentials?"

In terms of education, none whatsoever. She made a complete idiot of herself at the Senate hearing. But her brother is founder of Blackwater, the private military contractor.

No nepotism to see here, no Washington establishment insiders, we're draining the swamp, move along now, move along now...

Watching the vote .... fingers crossed it's a decided no.

Excuse me, McCain voted AYE?!?!?!! Grrrrrrrr

AcrossthePond that is so good to hear about your son and the good Obamacare did. The article I linked to looks like millions of people are going to have nothing under Trump.

And I did wryly laugh at your comments about the Beauty Pageant type announcement for Gorsuch. It was SO embarrassing. I just don't know how normal sane people can stand there and nod along like it is normal. You know like Gorsuch's wife who looked like a reasonable woman being hugged by the fat orange one and just acting like everything is just fine and dandy.

Do you think some of them are just cringing and dying inside, but go along with it anyway?

awful lot of ayes. Not looking good.

marking my place, going to read from the beginning, wonder if I can read it all before the next one starts!

fuck. confirmed 56 - 43. I thought this was DeVos, but it was for Rex Tillerson. double fuck.
