Why did Republicans confirm Betsy DeVos as Secretary of Education despite her having absolutely zero relevant experience or credentials? We have a few suggestions:




You just continue to ignore the obvious. Run to the shelter of your mother's little helper.
Yet I sure didn't hear you complain about some of Trudeau's highly questionable cabinet choices. So yeah, I guess it's only a bad thing to be unqualified for a govt post if you're not some neo-liberal progtard.

At least in Canada, those in cabinet have been elected as MPs.

Take a Valium. I don't care what Justin does. He is just a unicorn. It is the liberal old boys club that runs the show.
I post funny stuff I find about the right because they are so selfish, self centered and self righteous they need to be laughed at.
Me, I would be happy if this whole stinking retarded civilization went to hell in a hand basket.

Well, delayed cost health care? Actually we pay the full shot for it, we just don't get billed at the time it's delivered. The human animal is the only specie that has money to pay for stuff! :)

More Fake News!

Spicer invokes another scary terrorist attack that never happened!

Sean Spicer invents Atlanta terror attack to defend travel ban - NY Daily News

Trump'll make another broadcast tomorrow telling us that we're too mean to Spicer, now.

And he wasn't even of the generation that got ribbons for just showing up. What lovely bit of dandylion fluff he is.

If Trump hadn't of been born rich he would be selling golf equipment at Nevada Bobs in small town.

Donald Trump: a man so obnoxious that karma may see him reincarnated as himself


Frankie Boyle

America has gone from the Obama Years to the Trump Years, like going from the West Wing to a sitcom where the incidental music involves a tuba. I actually think Donald Trump is going to prove a lot of people wrong, but sadly not George Orwell, Margaret Atwood, or whoever wrote the Book of Revelation. It says a lot about the man that building a giant wall isn’t even in the top five most Game of Thrones things about him. Of course, presidents always enter office with something to prove, it’s just rarely their sanity.
You look into Trump’s eyes and you see the fear and confusion of a man who has just been told he’s got stage-four cervical cancer. He is a super-villain in a world without heroes, a man so obnoxious and unhappy that karma may see him reincarnated as himself.

Yep - the Dumpster is definitely out of his depth and he has only just stepped into the shallow end of the pool. Only 18 days into the job and already he's been shown to be completely incompetent.

Supreme Court Nominee Calls Trump’s Attacks on Judiciary ‘Demoralizing’


Judge Neil M. Gorsuch, President Trump’s nominee for the Supreme Court, privately expressed dismay on Wednesday over Mr. Trump’s increasingly aggressive attacks on the judiciary, calling the president’s criticism of independent judges “demoralizing” and “disheartening.”

The remarks by Judge Gorsuch, chosen by Mr. Trump last week to serve on the nation’s highest court, came as the president lashed out at the federal appellate judges who are considering a challenge to his executive order banning travel from seven predominantly Muslim countries. The president called their judicial proceedings “disgraceful” and described the courts as “so political.”

Those remarks followed Mr. Trump’s weekend Twitter outburst in which he derided a Seattle circuit court judge who blocked his travel ban as a “so-called judge” whose “ridiculous” ruling would be overturned.

Judge Gorsuch expressed his disappointment with Mr. Trump’s comments about the judiciary in a private conversation with Senator Richard Blumenthal, Democrat of Connecticut, as he paid courtesy calls on Capitol Hill to build support for his confirmation. An account of the discussion was confirmed by a White House adviser working to advance the Gorsuch confirmation, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to comment.

The spectacle of a Supreme Court nominee breaking so starkly with the president who named him underscored the unusual nature of Mr. Trump’s public feud with the judiciary. Speaking to a group of sheriffs and police chiefs on Wednesday, the president said the appellate judges had failed to grasp concepts even “a bad high school student would understand.”

“This is highly unusual,” said Michael W. McConnell, a former federal judge who directs the Constitutional Law Center at Stanford University. “Mr. Trump is shredding longstanding norms of etiquette and interbranch comity.”

Contrary to what was on Global T.V. news last night! Perhaps you should watch it before making your wild predictions! Folks down in Virginia?? are ecstatic that Trump is carrying out election promises big time.
