DeVos confirmed. Tell your children to say their prayers.

No, literally, say their prayers. In school.

And so…The Great Clusterfuck continues apace. Mrs Von Holst keeps on telling me that Jeff Flake is a “reasonable republican.” Well. I tell her, watch what he does, regardless of what he says. Of course Flake voted for the fraud, de Vos. Okay, Flake is a reasonable jerkoff. But he’s still a jerkoff.

I knew it was rigged as soon as I heard they were going to vote. No way would Senator Yertle (R-Turtle) let the vote go ahead if he wasn’t completely sure he’d win it.

Oh, fuck that. I don’t want “ammunition later.” I want them to not be able to dismantle this fucking country.

Is that too much to ask?

Apparently it is. All of you with children? you’re royally fucked.

Indeed, make him know 24-7 that DeVos is on him and all he had to do was sit on the sidelines.

Blech. Another home run for the religious right. Trump hopes to play them like a violin and they’re too god-obsessed to notice.

God are we screwed. At least until the midterms, when there may be some dim glimmers of hope.

The GOP just committed your tax dollars to the funding of private for profit schools that cost more than public schools and dont produce results justifying the cost. Not to mention they cost low and middle income households more than their affluent neighbors…

everyone of those middle income rural trump voters will now be paying MORE to educate their children and get less for it…

Well, TWO of them did the right thing…but, and I hate to say it, probably because they knew there was no 3rd.
