On one hand, woof.

On the other hand, at least this means Trump won’t be #1 in his administration in terms of who took the Stone Cold Stunner the worst

maddening.bsky.social•101 days ago

His was still worse

jackfarmhouse.bsky.social•101 days ago

Putting someone in charge of our schools who is currently being sued for enabling pedophilia. Great idea

switchbabeeexo.bsky.social•101 days ago

I feel like he's just picking names out of a hat at this point

This seems like another jobber position for her. How are you going to be the secretary of education when the plan is to get rid of the department of education?

83kevlar.bsky.social•101 days ago

That should be fun.
A is for AX
B is for Becky

83kevlar.bsky.social•101 days ago

but they are just the worst can't believe who he's picking

p1eces.bsky.social•101 days ago

Ugh, these are the absolute worst picks in history.

Call me crazy, but maybe the people being named to these positions should have actual experience in those fields.

wrassletrash.is.goblin.fyi•101 days ago

No trump puts people in charge of a thing they really hate. So McMahons and people being educated, RFK and vaccines etc. so they won't have any moral qualms about gutting aforementioned departments and will do it with zero conscience or question.

fatsfalafel.bsky.social•101 days ago

I don't see why she would have any investment in this particular position though. Like I get the whole Project 2025 agenda is gutting and privatizing a bunch of federal departments, but I don't think I've ever heard her say anything about education.

kimmayj.bsky.social•101 days ago

Department of Education is one of the first ones they want gone. When you ruin something, republicans will forget why it was bad and go along with it. I don’t think people realize how close the McMahons and Trump are

wrassletrash.is.goblin.fyi•101 days ago

Yep. I doubt very much we hear a word about that federal investigation now either.

wrassletrash.is.goblin.fyi•101 days ago

Nah but all republicans want to keep people fucking dumb because it's the only way they get votes so they really could have put anyone in that position

fatsfalafel.bsky.social•101 days ago

Her only incentive is being in a position of power. They are already close with Trump so it's not like she needs to curry favor. How bored and sociopathic do you have to be to just wander into this job with no understanding of it whatsoever?

allelitegraps.bsky.social•101 days ago

2 words: presidential pardons

academicfabe.bsky.social•101 days ago

She donated a ton of time and resources to support Trump since 2020. That's why.

This is her reward.

And I very much disagree with it.

stratusnova.bsky.social•101 days ago

So the real thing is. Trump values loyalty to him above anything. If anyone in the department does something he doesn't approve of he wants to someone above them to stop it from affecting him. Especially positions like Attorney General.

kevsflanagan.bsky.social•101 days ago

Isn’t she named in the ring boy lawsuit? Man that confirmation hearing is going to be wild.
“Linda, isn’t your husband currently being investigated for sex trafficking?”
“Well isn’t your husband also involved in a lawsuit alleging the same?”
“How are you involved in this Ring Boys ordeal?”

mrjoe888.bsky.social•101 days ago

Yes to my knowledge she is named Great person to have power in the education of children.

hannahwxo.bsky.social•101 days ago

As a special education teacher, I just...I have no words.

stholeary.bsky.social•101 days ago

That story is missing the sex trafficking she covered up

kingedawg.bsky.social•101 days ago

We can't have all these smart marks

brainman02.bsky.social•101 days ago

Worst timeline ever.

abachalypse.bsky.social•101 days ago

Trump wants nothing to do with the Department of Education beyond outright dismantling it. This is simply a favor for Vince.

Linda will accomplish fuck all in this position.

Curious how many current ties exist between TKO/WWE and Trump.
