Amway Devos:
If you sign up just 10 more people you get a discount on your lobbying contribution.
Meet your fund raising goals and you get a car!
Iâll show you ethics

If you have never seen it take the time. John Oliver on Devos and her ilk scam artists
Letâs not forget Betsyâs ethics challenged bro, Blackwaterâs Erik Prince. The swamp doth overflow in that family.
Donât believe this lie for a minute! What really happened Iâll venture is a.) she and her husband have balked at providing the needed documents b.) she and hubby may be re-thinking the nomination in line with who needs this headache of financial disclosure.
âWho benefitsâ (from the old Latin line âcui bonoâ) fits here as they may have finally realized they stand to lose more than gain from her nomination. Bet the Trump team told her not to worry over the ethics issue (note: last weekâs failed attempt to weaken the ethics committee) but some pubbie Senators told her different behind closed doors. Weâll soon see if I am right.
@machoneman Youâre likely correct on this. And then,thereâs all that bothersome work of actually attempting to run a large organization.
Privatizing our schools has crippled some factions of students and educatorsâŚAmway Devos is for that and her brother is the â Blackwaterâ PrinceâŚNot a good family at allâŚ
Stop the grift of the drumpf nomineesâŚCrooks just like him!
Itâs only a rumor, but I heard she and Benedict Conway share broom sticks.
Teacher: âNo, Betsy. You need to turn in your ethics homework before I give you a grade or promote you.â
Betsy: "But, Iâm rich. That rule shouldnât apply to me. Anyway, no matter what I turn in, you need to give me an âAâ.
Teacher: âOf course I will, dear.â
Betsy DeVosâs plan for staffing her beloved charter schools:
- Hire a principal whose only teaching experience is two years of Teach for America experience.
- That principal hires five TFA teachers.
- Those five TFA teachers each must find five more TFA teachers.
- Those 25 TFAers each must find five more TFA alums.
- The teacher whose search garners the most actual hires becomes assistant principal.
From your mouth to Betsy DeVosâ ears.
Or the fraud lawsuit the DeVos family had to settle for $150 million due to the predatory âmulti-level marketingâ company Amway.
Yes, and the DeVos familyâs successful attempts to privatize much of the Michigan public school system has had devastating effects.
They have to wait till Trump is president so he can pardon all his nominees.
Wait, you mean they are trying to help Betsy DeVos respond to questions about how her defunct All Children Matter organization owes Ohio a $5.3 million fine?
The Ohio Elections Commission and the courts found that the federal and Ohio All Children Matter PACs violated Ohio campaign laws for money laundering.
Maybe she can be a success in teaching children how to violate the law and not pay for it?
This exactly. Many of these billionaire barons have a lot to lose by going through this process. Even if they come out on the other side, they will soon learn that Washington is a city of regulations and statutes, and you canât just do whatever the fuck you want with the taxpayerâs money. The rules are very different. I canât wait to watch them figure this out. They act like they are being invited to the rich kidâs 9th birthday party with the clowns, skating rink, and ice cream statues.
The letter from the Democratic senators wanting answers:
OMG, that is some letter!!! And signed by the all-stars! Thanks for posting that link.
WHOA! Iâm with @katscherger - that letter is a bombshell and it would seem that DeVos either puts up or stands down. My moneyâs on the latter.
Too bad TPM isnât digging deep enough in its reporting - this link should be part of the main story.
Yeah, if this letter is any indication of things to come, there is going to be a lot of blood, sweat, and tears.
Donât forget the bouncy Castle.
