I guess you don't have to worry about the new head of Department of Education if the GOP manages to get rid of the department completely: http://thehill.com/blogs/floor-action/house/318310-gop-lawmaker-proposes-abolishing-department-of-education
No matter what happens, no matter what my last words may end up being, I want everyone to claim that they were:
"If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."
Aww, you guys rock. :)  I feel the love... and the pitchforks and torches.  Tingly!

To her credit, Sen. Murkowski voted against confirming Betsy DeVos in spite of the contributions.

EDIT: According to Open Secrets, Sen. Collins has received $2,000 from the National Education Association, and Sen. Murkowski has received $23,500.

It's good to see you can just buy yourself into a position you're not qualified for.

OK I watch these guys way more than I should but I find them hilarious. I should probably find the clip directly from the O'Reilly Trump interview but can't be arsed. Trump thinks Barack Obama really likes him:

It is amazing just how well Trump and Porky Minch's mindsets keep aligning.

Meanwhile...

http://money.cnn.com/2016/11/21/news/protecting-donald-trump/

It costs New York City more than $1,000,000 per day to protect Donald Trump, particularly Melania and Barron Trump. That comes out to at least $30,000,000 per month.

http://www.coalitionforthehomeless.org/basic-facts-about-homelessness-new-york-city/

There are 15,856 homeless families in New York City.

https://www1.nyc.gov/site/nycha/section-8/voucher-payment-standards-vps-utility-allowance-schedule.page

Section 8 funding for those families? Roughly $28,000,000 per month.

New York City is literally spending more on the Trumps than they are on the homeless.

EDIT: In fairness, the amount of money being spent by NYC on securing Trump Tower may have dropped for now with Trump spending time in the White House (and at Mar-a-Lago) as opposed to when he was President-Elect, but it's still ridiculous that it was true at any time.

I think i heard mayor Deblasio and governor Cuomo were looking to hit up the feds to cover the costs, because it's not fair to the New York tax payers.

Jeff Sessions, a racist so heinous that a Republican-led Senate rejected him for a federal judgeship when President Reagan nominated him for one in 1986, has been confirmed as Attorney General by a vote of 52-47.

Sen. Sessions voted "Present." Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) was the only defection, voting in favour of Sessions' nomination. Both independent Senators voted against the nomination.

Dunno. Might be a screen capture from a page where it was textual content.

That is now the third one of these I have seen. The other two were "America First - Netherlands Second" and "America First - Bavaria Second" - The guy doing the voice in each one is so good I suspect he's the same guy in all 3.
