Trump names former wrestling executive Linda McMahon as his pick for education secretary
McMahon, who is a co-chair of Trump's transition team, led the Small Business Administration during Trump's first term.
LET'S GET READY TO CRUMBLEEEE!!!!
TRUMP SLAMS LINDA INTO THE EDUCATION SECRETARY POSITION.
Reminds me of Dolores Umbridge. Why do they all remind me of Dolores Umbridge?
They are on track to bankrupt The Onion
That's their game plan to prevent the Onion from purchasing the infowars domain
How long is the education secretary gonna be there if we're getting rid of the department of education?
Let's make bets on how many rounds!
Well, the department of energy is still around.
between this and dr oz, is he just hiring people he knows from tv?
He appears to be picking people from one of three lists:
Don't forget the rapists.
You're also missing a major part, donorship. These picks aren't incompetence as it looks at first glance. They're deliberately picked for regulatory capture. They're going to burn it down from three inside.
Look at Dr. Oz. He got picked because of his wife's family, the Asplundhs. They're going to fuck up healthcare far worse than you expect.
Tulsi is also category 1
We're actually going full Idiocracy, holy shit. That's crazy.
Except President Camacho found the smartest person he could and immediately put him in charge. We're not even smart enough to be idiocracy.
Since literally everything in the government seems to be getting dismantled, what companies are going to pick up the pieces for these sectors? If we are drowning in a sinking ship we can at least invest in a life boat to buy eggs with and fight the impending inflation. The goal seems to shift trillions from government funding to private sectors and deregulate to let the friends of Trump get even wealthier.
Solar is and isn't going to be a future successful asset, because Trump will do everything to devalue it while the rest of the world moves right on to adopting it.
Gold is at an ATH, Bitcoin is at an ATH, oil is a gamble because while Conservatives may push it, the move for renewables is against it.
Metals and materials for computer chips are still worthwhile investments and Ai is shaky unless it pulls a few more parlor tricks.
The only real things I can find that are corrupt and exempt enough from litigation or a recession...
are prisons and weapons contractors.

I just read the Oz thing. I fucking can't anymore.
What even is reality
She donated a lot of money to his campaign. As did a few others that he's appointing to offices. Pay to play.
Of course she did
Oh hey, surprised devoss didn’t buy it again. I assume McMahon’s platform is more concussions for children
Sure, whatever.
At this point, I frankly don't even really care anymore.
In case anyone thought Trump didn't stick to the "predator nominee" picks.
Exactly, predators protecting predators. I wish Stone Cold would have done his stunner a bit stiff and maybe we could have avoided this timeline altogether.
Things are going to get so ridiculous.
Why do we need an education secretary if the plan is to just do away with education all together.
I think this is the least egregious of all the cabinet picks.
I JUST posted this in the McMahon seperation thread, fucking hell
Surely she’ll be less bad than DeVos, though
Meh, I liked Devos' Title IX policy changes. Even if over half of it was "some guy sued a college over due process and the college lost, let's bake the decision into formal policy" and most of the rest was just firmly establishing who does what and obvious basic fairness things.
That's basically the only thing Devos did that I liked, but it's slightly better than nothing!
Burn it to the ground.
