Betsy Devos forever changed private education( funded by tax dollars)  forever and for the betterment of poor kids.
That’s why Josh hates her.

Bull and Shit.

Betsy DeVos will have all her hard work erased in about three weeks as America gets back to educating rather than indoctrinating its students.

Red will still have his role models and style icons, like this guy for instance

Nice gun.
Every woman in America should be wearing one, in public and at home.
That way, they will be able to defend themselves and their children when the serial killers and thugs come calling.
The true stories from America shown on the Crime channel are very shocking.

Bull and Shit.

If Ward had any evidence of that, he's post it.

Sec'y Devos tried to protect for-profit colleges.

She funneled COVID-19 money to religious and private schools, instead of the public schools it was intended for.

She worried more about men accused of sexual assault than she did about the assaulted women.

She removed guidance for schools on how to handle SPED, removing and not replacing roughly 70 guidelines.

There was this entertaining piece:
In a January 2018 speech, Devos said that the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) found that "60 percent of its teachers reported having moderate to no influence over the content and skills taught in their own classrooms." In response, AFT noted that in the same survey of around 5,000 educators, 86% felt that Devos had disrespected them.

And then there was the Federal Commission on School Safety:
93 best practices!

Except...it "emphasizes the critical need for healthy relationships, caring school communities, and an interconnected citizenry as the main defenses against school violence." Further, it proposed  "rescinding an Obama-era initiative meant to reduce racial disparities in school discipline", as well as encouraging "threat assessment programs, security improvements, and active shooter drills."

Turns out, it was a joke, if not quite as ridiculous as Trump's Election Fraud Commission.

Much, but not all, of this material came initially from Wikipedia. I made some edits, looked at some primary source documents, and looked at unrelated materials, as well. Like the report, itself!

She seems nice, from what I watched on her video.
She's pro-wall, pro-guns, pro-life, a business owner.

The word "nation" is not in the quotation. The word "country" is not in the quotation. The name "United States" is not in the quotation.


I have no idea what you are arguing.  You seem to have invented something.  I was discussing UNO's reaction to R Paul's comments.

"Always putting party ahead of country"

I bolded it for you

Wow - Liz Warren is a total cunt

Take Education Secretary Betsy DeVos, who is being kicked on her way out the door. “Good riddance, Betsy. You were the worst Secretary of Education ever,” Sen. Elizabeth Warren tweeted following Mrs. DeVos’s resignation last week as a matter of principle after the riots at the US. Capitol. She should wear the Senator’s smear as a badge of honor.

I guess she has to act out given her new found irrelevance.

She would seem nice to you.

Probably one of the bigger insults you could give her.

Be a dick if you want - nothing new.

In the quote, what you bolded did not have Rand Paul using the word country or nation in it.

I don't know what you are smoking or drinking, but don't drive or use heavy machinery.

I don't care what Ham said, Kid. I care what PAUL said, which you quoted here:
“A third of the Republicans will leave the party,” Paul continued. “This isn’t about, anymore, the Electoral College, this is about the future of the party, and whether you’re going to ostracize and excommunicate President Trump from the party. Well, guess what? Millions of his fans will leave as well.”-----


Rand Paul said NOTHING about the country.

That was and remains my point.

He cares about himself, first, and party second. Country comes in a distant third.

You keep claiming "he" talked about the nation, but if you meant Paul, you are wrong. And if you meant Ham, you are irrelevant.

Or more so than usual, anyway.
