Betsy DeVos is a stupid ass fucking retarded bitch. And my senator Rob Portman and his $51,000 he got from her is gonna confirm her tomorrow. If you have kids, move to a real first world country where they don't demonize education as "elitism" because the next generation are going to end up as retarded as those two chuckle fuck cunts.

Like real-timing the Milgram experiment.

The Baltimore Sun:

Ordinary Americans carried out inhumane acts for Trump

A week ago, men and women went to work at airports around the United States as they always do. They showered, got dressed, ate breakfast, perhaps dropped off their kids at school. Then they reported to their jobs as federal government employees, where, according to news reports, one of them handcuffed a 5-year-old child, separated him from his mother and detained him alone for several hours at Dulles airport.

At least one other federal employee at Dulles reportedly detained a woman who was traveling with her two children, both U.S. citizens, for 20 hours without food. A relative says the mother was handcuffed (even when she went to the bathroom) and threatened with deportation to Somalia.

At Kennedy Airport, still other federal employees detained and handcuffed a 65-year-old woman traveling from Qatar to visit her son, who is a U.S. citizen and serviceman stationed at Fort Bragg, N.C. The woman was held for more than 33 hours, according to the New York Times, and denied use of a wheelchair.

The men and women who work for the federal government completed these and other tasks and then returned to their families, where perhaps they had dinner.

The men and women who reportedly handcuffed small children and the elderly, separated a child from his mother and held others without food for 20 hours, are undoubtedly "ordinary" people. What I mean by that, is that these are, in normal circumstances, people who likely treat their neighbors and co-workers with kindness and do not intentionally seek to harm others. That is chilling, as it is a reminder that authoritarians have no trouble finding the people they need to carry out their acts of cruelty. They do not need special monsters; they can issue orders to otherwise unexceptional people who will carry them out dutifully.

Trump 'shows true face of US,' says Iran's Supreme Leader

(CNN)Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said Tuesday that he's grateful to President Donald Trump for showing "the true face of the US."

Khamenei told a gathering of Iran's air force commanders in Tehran that the new US administration has shown the world "the depth of corruption in US government," according to quotes published by Iran's semi-official MEHR news agency.
Khamenei reportedly told the commanders: "We however thank this new guy in the White House, since he largely did the job we had been trying to do in the past decades: to divulge the true face of the US. We had been working to show the world the depth of corruption in US government and ranks and files of the ruling elite; Trump did it in few days after coming to the White House."

He added: "Their claims to human rights are no longer tenable."

Ugh. RIP World

CNN)Days after a raid on an al Qaeda compound in Yemen led to the first US military combat death under Donald Trump, the leader of al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula released an audio message taunting the new American President.

In an 11-minute recording, AQAP leader Qassim al-Rimi condemned the January 29 raid, saying, "The new fool of the White House received a painful slap across his face."



T minus 10 days till Trump fires nukes at the Mid East?

Well, that's done and dusted.

Few aspects of this mess ht me in as intensely an emotional way as Devos does.

What is my snowflake self missing with Betsy DeVos? Like, I understand why Trump wants her, but the rest of the republicans? Why? Is it really cause of donations? are they that fucking scared to go against trump?

Fuck this shit.

[Jorge]

Well, that's done and dusted.

Few aspects of this mess ht me in as intensely an emotional way as Devos does.

[Norah]

Also, the GOP is willing to sacrifice the Republic if it means their policies are enacted. And right now they still think Trump is a viable partner to get that done. Authoritarianism is fine with them as long as it's their strongman.
