She’s accused of enabling systemic child abuse or many years.

peetb.bsky.social•103 days ago

The theme is progressing. You guessed it. Sexual misconduct. Where does he find these people?!?

bogartmama.bsky.social•103 days ago

Doesn’t get any better, does it?

latejanadesananto.bsky.social•103 days ago

Jesus! Can someone stop this ride? I want to get off!!!

cfijwpg.bsky.social•103 days ago

I'm surprised he nominated a Secretary of Education at all. Doesn't he plan to abolish the department?

havfree.bsky.social•103 days ago

Yep, she looks the part.

Imagine being hired for a job where your job is to get rid of that job!

Linda McMahon.

Her husband is currently being sued by his ex-mistress for human trafficking.

The allegations are seriously sickening. Cost him the Chairmanship of TKO, the WWE/UFC parent company.

Pretty much an open secret Vince and Linda have been separated for over a decade, ...

stefan.from.legal•103 days ago

but remain publicly married.

There are allegations of criminality by Vince, and Linda covering up for him going back to the early '80s.

I don't think she's a "bad" person like other cabinet picks but has poor judgement.

She spent > $250m running for Senate in CT.

jer1190.bsky.social•103 days ago

She can take her “universal school choice” bullshit and shove it. #SavePublicEducation

hue53.bsky.social•103 days ago

The nazis are here!

lindam174.bsky.social•103 days ago

The last one since she’s appointed to destroy it.

cheri5902.bsky.social•103 days ago

Vouchers. See Arizona for how damaging this is to public education

ned46.bsky.social•103 days ago

Iowa too!

cheri5902.bsky.social•103 days ago

Beyond awful.

cindolah.bsky.social•103 days ago

Sweet jeezus...

Betsy DeVos 2.0

akchaos.bsky.social•103 days ago

A scum bag nominating a bimbo.

akchaos.bsky.social•103 days ago

The WWE bimbo will now be in charge of ALL American education. What could possibly go wrong?

sevenbrg.bsky.social•103 days ago

Putting "choice" in quotation marks was a choice.

kellysea.bsky.social•103 days ago

Hardest working quotation marks I’ve see all day

gallopinggoat.bsky.social•103 days ago

That was so bizarre.

janerd.bsky.social•103 days ago

My thoughts exactly

sjohn866.bsky.social•103 days ago

Any of his nominations not tied to any sexual assault allegations?

carriejacobson.bsky.social•103 days ago

Good lord. Thank God I'm retiring in June. I believe I now know my next course of action.

hester-prynne.bsky.social•103 days ago

Why the need for an Ed Sec if the DOE is being eliminated??

rationalfloridian.bsky.social•103 days ago

They always say they want to end the department of Education until they find out how much it does, then they put in someone unqualified to kill the programs from within

tsalagiok.bsky.social•103 days ago

Secretary of indoctrination is more like it

str8grandmother.bsky.social•103 days ago

This is the Catholic Churc plan
It accomplishes public funding for Catholic schools.
All parochial schools do not keep trouble makers they expel them. They do not serve Special Education students, it costs too much money. This decimates public schools and indoctrinates children in religion.

jb6753.bsky.social•103 days ago

Incompetence and destruction are the whole idea.

anacanada.bsky.social•103 days ago

So some of his picks (including himself) have either been charged or have allegations of sexual assault. Truthfully not shocking.

nickcummings.bsky.social•103 days ago

The queen of kayfabe as the secretary of what is actually real. Couldn’t make it up if you tried.

notquietmodemd.bsky.social•102 days ago

I’m shocked, I thought Boebert for sure smh

lowfihistory.bsky.social•103 days ago

So…he’s NOT eliminating the Department of Education, because If he does, Vince is gonna pull a Stone Cold Stunner on him.

iv35.bsky.social•103 days ago

🤦🏽‍♀️

hardroader.bsky.social•103 days ago

The heck you say?

dufc1976.bsky.social•103 days ago

Hahahahahhahahaha that honestly is the pick of the bunch

kreplachbro.bsky.social•103 days ago

Why is he not talking about what a great job she will do dismantling the department so that it ceases to exist?

heathertoday.bsky.social•103 days ago

Wow. His picks continue to just be horrible.

saltyasnss.bsky.social•103 days ago

She’s qualified 😩😩😂😂

derekwrites.bsky.social•103 days ago

Impressive to find her a position that she was somehow even less qualified for

markwest63.bsky.social•103 days ago

The opportunities for grifting are enormous

sjdco-xblows.bsky.social•103 days ago

Because Betsy DuhVos wasn’t dumber enough? Why not Lauren Boebert then?

songsaboutrainbows.bsky.social•103 days ago

She's just been sued for covering up Sexual Assault. Nothing to see here. Seriously

garbanzobean22.bsky.social•103 days ago

thegoldenbuddah.bsky.social•103 days ago

I guess the sexual abuse investigation made her a shoo-in.

srgirl86.bsky.social•103 days ago

Oh boy. Let’s prepare for more rigorous book bans and deranged parents dictating how kids should be educated. This is hell and it hasn’t even started yet.

tallyannae.bsky.social•103 days ago

The suit accuses McMahon and his wife, Linda McMahon, and WWE and its parent company, TKO Holdings, of allowing the "open, rampant abuse" of so-called "ring boys" as young as 12 who acted as assistants to ringside announcer Melvin Phillips Jr. in the 1980s and 1990s.

When I think of education, professional wrestling is the first thing that springs to mind. Said no one. Ever

stg.bsky.social•103 days ago

For an eliminated department?

strikes30.bsky.social•103 days ago

Wonder what the Ring Boys think of this

karebearscare.bsky.social•103 days ago

Cool another indictee

cgtzeno.bsky.social•103 days ago

Is Devos mad about not getting another swing?

loromimi.bsky.social•103 days ago

In trial with her husband for allowing the SA of young boys by a ring announcer. I’m totally shocked.😳

kimsywhimsy79.bsky.social•103 days ago

Why are we living in the stupidest of times?

manuele.bsky.social•103 days ago

Trump is literally burning down America. scorched earth strategy in full display.

staceestx.bsky.social•103 days ago

So…this is an absolute joke

adamjblust.bsky.social•103 days ago

Only because Hannibal Lecter is going to run the Federal Bureau of Prisons.

dianawolff.bsky.social•103 days ago

The wrestling lady?

holliwinters57.bsky.social•103 days ago

She has no qualifications.
I see "school choice" in his announcement, which means she will push for school choice and shut out disabled kids from attending school.

carlosmorenojr.bsky.social•103 days ago

😆 😂

dirtdogs44.bsky.social•103 days ago

Candace Owens gonna cry tonight

kriskoles.bsky.social•103 days ago

"Only the Best"...lol...

usasocal.bsky.social•103 days ago

Another criminal, groomer, indoctrinator of children and who knows what other unethical crap this one has done!

This is BELOW the bottom of the barrel unfit unable worst!
That is ALL he has access to!

sunnyday3.bsky.social•103 days ago

tammyzenden1.bsky.social•103 days ago

Isn't she being investigated or was investigated for sex crimes? So it looks like there really is a global cabal of sex traffickers but it's that side doing it.
Every accusation is a confession. Psyops.

drewmcc703.bsky.social•103 days ago

I’ve always thought of the McMahon family as beacons of light for the well educated

amyandacat.bsky.social•103 days ago

Isn’t she and her husband under investigation?

nickcummings.bsky.social•103 days ago

Another criminal investigation swept under the rug

c0de0gre.bsky.social•103 days ago

Is there anyone he's chosen so far who DOESN'T have a connection to a credible rape allegation or cover-up of one?

ashleerice620.bsky.social•103 days ago

Why does there need to be a secretary? Wasn’t he going to get rid of it?

ashleerice620.bsky.social•103 days ago

Apparently it’s just her job to rob public schools of money to give to “choice”

jonikletter.bsky.social•103 days ago

What’s hulk gonna be?

jcalzone.bsky.social•103 days ago

Former CEO of the WWE nominated for Secretary of Education. You just can't make stuff up like this.

Another person involved in a sex scandal gets nominated by Donald Trump. https://news.yahoo.com/news/trump-pick-linda-mcmahon-facing-171810881.html

coloradocarly.bsky.social•103 days ago

You'd think his comms writer would know basic capitalization rules that most of us learned in third grade.

gottasavebucky.bsky.social•103 days ago

Because she’s a sex trafficker. Of course.

pellat.bsky.social•103 days ago

nothing can be shocking anymore

rogermarshallmd.bsky.social•103 days ago

Yet again, President Trump makes a stellar cabinet pick: who better to put herself out of a job by taking down the Department of Education than a former WWE performer like Linda McMahon?

She'll pin it to the mat. The contest will be over before it has even begun.
