Can it really be any more embarrassing..."The best people."

Nuff said.

Oh...so a Sec. of Ed. has to be a statistic wonk...going back to 1979...and has to be a math whiz, to boot?

LOL!!

Since Trump has already told us his intentions concerning the Dept. of Ed., I don't think she needs to be either. She just needs to be capable of tossing that department in the trash where it belongs. Now, I don't know if she's capable of doing that, but I think those Senators should be asking her about that instead of trying to lob stupid softballs at her.
 
True, but the point made in the video is that it is not just her (among the GOP mob) who has no idea about grammar or maths. Those very Senators to whom you refer are Exhibits B and C.
 
So you think she was a good choice for Sec. Ed.?
 
McMahon doesn't mind looking like an idiot. She got very rich putting on idiotic wrestling shows for idiots.
 
“What was we ranked?”

Not once, but twice. Markwayne showcasing his education!

Speaking of OK and education, what’s up with their education superintendent?

You gotta defend with something……….what<sic> was<sic> you thinking?

Bullshit.

She was directly targeting McMahon. That was her point. Those "Exhibits B and C" were just sideline snark.
 
After it's tossed in the trash, what will replace it? Nothing, no school anymore because trump loves the uneducated?
 
I mean this is hardly the exception - damn near every Secretary/Department Head/agency leader is the possible worst person you could pick for that job.

There literally exist schoolchildren who are more fit to run some of these agencies.

A quick review of recent history shows that attacking and destroying standard established education is among the initial steps in implementing fascism. Heritage Foundation planned it in Project 2025, MAGAs voted it in and Deep State puppet Donald Trump made it happen here in the U.S.
 
Well, given that you want the Department to go away, then you would be correct...perhaps.

Here's why I say perhaps: the Trump administration mirrors his transactional mindset. He wants you to do something, he rewards you for it (well, some of the time, you get the idea). There is a very real possibility that Trump will NOT get rid of the Department of Education because the point of the Department is to offer funding and guidelines on education. Basically, he can use the Department to reward districts who support him: he just directs the Department what the grants are for and to change guidelines to help his supporters...so you would see more of your tax dollars going towards private/charter schools that are more aligned with MAGA.

So, to that point, should that be something you would be OK with (and you might not)...you would actually want someone a bit better than what we have now. You may want a statistical wonk and someone who is good with mathematics to make that work. McMahon is trash that wouldn't be fit for that duty.
 
As I said, toss it into the trash where it belongs.

The DOJ can handle states who violate the law. If they aren't violating the law, then they can do what they want.
 
Bullshit.

You did not notice the grotesque grammar of the male who gave her a Dorothy Dixer, or the ridiculous maths from the questioner, Kennedy?

As I said, that wasn't Psaki's point.

No, the secretary of education should be another carnival barker like Trump. Why NOT hire a WWF flunky?
 
Ya know, this appalling basic knowledge of simple maths is not restricted to those outside the POTUS bedroom.

“You know, we’ve cut drug prices by 1,200, 1,300 and 1,400, 1,500%,” he told reporters on Sunday, noting the reductions will start over the next two to three months. “I don’t mean 50%. I mean 14- 1,500%.”

How do you do that without everyone entering pharmacies, get handed the drugs they need for free, as well as a fistful of cash?
