President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

We had it on in the newsroom, but it is pretty far away from where I sit, and the volume wasn't really on high, so I didn't really hear anything other than some of the applause. Mostly, and we do this also with sports, we keep it on so we know when it ends for deadline planning purposes.

 

Or

"Betsy DeVos has spent most of her time among her friends in the wealthy elite and has no clue about the history behind the formation of the HBCs, which is something she should have already known about if she was going to lead a federal department whose sole purpose is education."

 

Is it too much to hope that the Secretary of Education would both know what she's talking about and be able to explain it articulately?

 

Australia calls ambassadors home to reshape foreign policy, trade

"Australia will call home all of its overseas ambassadors for a meeting, Foreign Minister Julie Bishop said on Wednesday, as it reshapes its foreign policy to balance ties with long-time ally the United States and China, its largest trading partner."

""At a time of significant global uncertainty, it is vital that Australia harness the experience and intellect of our most senior diplomats," Bishop said in a statement."

I thought that was when you fired them, but then again Trump is maneuvering our ship of state with great certainty and has no need of expertise and intellect.

 

Education Secretary Betsy DeVos is getting some very bad news about her favorite thing, school vouchers

 

She knows what she's talking about: those great glorious days when they didn't let nasty neegros go to college with good clean hard workin white people and sent em off to n****r college instead.

 

You would think so.

But sometimes....mysterious ways.

 

To be fair, he has given people so many legitimate reasons to complain, it is often difficult to choose which ones should take priority.

 

This would have been more fair.

Betsy DeVos once again exposes the Trump administration to criticism with comments that made it at least seem as if she didn't understand the topic about which she was speaking.

 

Yes, it is too much to expect from this Secretary of Education.

 

Maybe Trumpists can help answer this excellent question.
