Trump’s cabinet is full of lunatics, but Betsy DeVos has her own special lunacy which is self-righteously evil.

“House Dems Grill DeVos…”

Fair Warning: Without a good marinade, she’s gonna be tough and stringy.

Tomorrow, the Trump maladministration will announce the end of funding for motherhood and apple pie.

Totally tone deaf. She probably never would have made this cut had she actually done her homework and gotten appropriate input. But that’s real work, which she never really has actually done, so we can’t expect her to understand. But perhaps now that it’s been explained to her, she will.

They’ll be just as shocked, saddened, and outraged by the way the proposal has been misrepresented when they attempt to revoke the job-killing child labor laws.

House Democrats grilled DeVos at a budget hearing Tuesday, asking how she could cut the group’s funding while calling for a $60 million increase in charter school funding, which has been a signature issue for DeVos.

The Education Department budget doesn’t cater to your personal issues, Betsy.

OMG, she’s the worst.

Also cutting funding for autism programs, which are in desperate need of MORE funds.

All for charter schools and the Trump tax cuts.

Walt Shaub pointed out that the program doesn’t get nearly as much funding as Trump’s regular jaunts to his golf resort.

Is there a competition for the morally and ethically handicapped? DeVos would bring home gold.

Betsy should have stuck with Amway, her family’s pyramid scheme. Pulling this unconscionable cut to a beloved program is beyond mere idiocy, but I guess we should expect it from a party that thinks it can get away with cutting Social Security and Medicare/Medicaid after they passed a tax windfall for the wealthy.

But honestly, who is stupid enough to fuck with the Special Olympics? I really want to see which GOP members are dumb enough to try to defend this move. I’ll bet Lindsey will be among them, with Meadows and Jordan close behind.

And Betsy: we all know how homophobic you are, but get yourself a gay stylist because, damn, girl, that outfit. It looks like the uniform at a prison for fashion-challenged Republican reform school girls.

We’re talking 16 million dollars here. David Jolley Jolly just said that covers five trips to Mar a Lago for Trump.

Yeah I have no helpful sartorial hints for her either but when I see a person who looks like that I figure she’s the biggest dizz-bomb on the library’s house tour fundraising committee. They’ve never had to do anything practical in their lives and oh man does it show.
