FUCK NO FUCK

 

[Bonen no Max'd]

Don't forget Murkowski and Collins could have blocked her. There's no such thing as a good Republican.

 

[JHoNNy1OoO]

The American people deserve every bit of this. She'll make sure they stay stupid to continue voting for Republicans. Can't wait for the Teacher Union hate once this administration starts really burning Public Education to the ground.

 

[sazzy]

Amazing how the US manages to politicize and profit off education. RIP


GOP would have gotten rid of it now then. This makes no difference.

Be that as it may; Dems fired the shot and now have to live with it.

 

[StarVigil]

Congratulaytions, yu playded yourselv.

[Nokagi]

Republicans need stupid people to win elections. This ensures future generations of stupid people.

 

[discospider]

Fuck Republicans.Not a single good one in the lot of them.

Even Murkowski and Collins only voted No because their vote wouldn't matter. They're all cowards.

How else can you continue to produce religious zealot drones for children in a world with an open source of information like the internet?

 

[minor effort]

Republicans are just bad people, folks.

Plain and simple.

 

[Amory]

Wait, Sessions can vote on his own nomination??

 

[Auctopus]

That is absolutely insane after she got absolutely roasted by several professionals. She is utterly unqualified and believes that public education is a "dead end". Fucking terrifying.

Innocent kids don't deserve this. Sorry.

 

[Surfinn]

Spineless. Fucking spineless.

There goes what's left of education.

 

[xxracerxx]

Remember when Clinton was the corrupt one?

 

[Con_Smith]

Republicans ain't shit and as much as it sucks to say it, I hope the bullshit introduced intensifies to the point every single mother fucker is out of office when all is said and done.

Legit no fucks given about the american people. It's so unfortunate that idiots will continue to let these fucks continue to ruin our country in the name of party politics, racism, and ignorance.

 

[LiK]

Every single one who voted yes needs to be voted out of office.

[Beartruck]

Even Murkowski and Collins only voted No because their vote wouldn't matter. They're all cowards.

And they voted yes in commitee. They could have single handidly stopped this if they actually gave a shit.

 

[GoldenEye 007]

Our already bad education system going to get worse. Can't wait.

Fuck all of the GOP and their supporters who enable this shit.

 

[5taquitos]

Rand Paul voted a No for Pompeo, but otherwise every single Republican has voted Yes for every single nomination.

The party is corrupt and cancerous, plain and simple.

 

[Meowster]

This has nothing to do with what any voters want. DeVos is being rewarded for all the money she's dumped into the GOP.

I know, that was the point I was making. None of the constituents wanted her in this position. Everyone knew she was totally inept. A lot of the Republicans that voted for her are gonna face some heat (for a little while before everyone forgets about it and votes strictly party-only again when election time comes).

 

[VeryGooster]

 

[Toxi]

Do not let people forget this for 2018 and 2020.

Cory Gardner, we are coming for your head.

 

[YuriLowell]

A lot of the Republicans that voted for her are gonna face some heat (for a little while before everyone forgets about it and wants strictly party-only again when election time comes).

I mean lets be real here they will get a little bit of heat for a month, but everyone will forget come election time.

 

[Muppet of a Man]

As a teacher, this really worries me. The Department of Education has set the tone since No Child Left Behind. Her lack of knowledge is just as questionable as her motives.

No, I'm not worried. I'm terrified.

If they tell you to do stupid shit that is against your better judgement, don't do it. It is kids' futures in the stakes here.

Murkowski and Collins voted No on Devos

 

[tedrotheredro]

Disgusting

 

[jimmypython]

please boo and vote.

 

[Zalman]

As a non-American, I have no idea what this means. Can someone clarify?

 

[therealist]

These cowards need to burn for this in the midterm elections.

2018 will be the final test for the Democratic party and supporters alike. If the votes don't come in then it'll show that the Democratic movement is no longer viable in America.

 

[LiK]

They're on blast. Time to mobilize.

[BoboBrazil]

Murkowski and Collins voted No on Devos

That was for political reasons and they already knew she was safe.

 

[Sizzel]

I am not super clued in but isn't she against unions and for charter schools, vouchers etc..? Why does GAF hate her, the unions thing?

 

[Surfinn]

As somebody who has worked (for over a decade) and currently works in public education, this is the definition of shameful.

 

[5taquitos]

Murkowski and Collins voted No on Devos

Fair enough, just realized the chart I'm looking at doesn't include the Devos vote from today.

I think the point still stands though.

 

[Nestled_Grizzly]

Wow awesome. It had to happen when I'm about to become a teacher.

 

[Advocatus Diaboli]

I am not super clued in but isn't she against unions and for charter schools, vouchers etc..? Why does GAF hate her, the unions thing?

Because her approach to education is: "I believe there should be schools. Probably Jesus schools."

 

[Kthulhu]

So McCain can be bought for $36k? I don't even know what to say.

 

[RinsFury]

At what point do you have to start considering the Republican party a terrorist organization?

 

[Meowster]

Blunt was a goddamn public school teacher once. How could he lose so much integrity? Does he even stand for anything? Why did we reelect him?

 

[The Technomancer]

I am not super clued in but isn't she against unions and for charter schools, vouchers etc..? Why does GAF hate her, the unions thing?

The voucher stuff is basically just a scheme to increase the stratification of education quality

 

[Netherscourge]

They all mostly send their kids to Private Schools anyway. Why the fuck would they care about the rest of the country?


This is literally the "take care of yourselves by yourself" congress.

 

[fredrancour]

I am not super clued in but isn't she against unions and for charter schools, vouchers etc..? Why does GAF hate her, the unions thing?

teachers unions are a net benefit to the country.

charter schools and vouchers as currently envisioned are a scheme to let rich people prevent their tax dollars from contributing to the education of poor and middle class kids

her senate hearing made it pretty clear she's unqualified to make decisions about education, or most other things, and is being chosen for ideology over ability.

 

[Tahnit]

So is there anything that can be done now to get rid of her? Please?

 

[Surfinn]

Yup. I got mine.

 

[le.phat]

Republicans thrive on dumb, so it makes sense. Sucks that the next generation is already a victim of the current goverment though.

Of course she was, the GOP needs a less-educated base. Those voter demographics don't lie.

yuuuup.

 

[Kyrios]

God dammit. This fucking sucks.

tough times in louisiana.

 

[allenpergallon]

Not surprising after that slimy committee confirmation. You'd think that out of any group to look out for, children would be the one that either side would be willing to compromise whatever hardlines or beliefs they have for the benefit of the goddamn future.

You'd think that.

well I guess the American Dream is dead 🙀

Nope, it's proof that you can become anything with some money. Was thinking of giving the position a shot myself, good thing I'm a
