Betsy DeVos, Resistance Hero


 
Betsy DeVos via the Wall Street Journal today:

Education Secretary Betsy DeVos submitted her resignation to President Trump on Thursday night, becoming the second member of Mr. Trump's cabinet to resign since pro-Trump rioters stormed the Capitol on Wednesday.

"We should be highlighting and celebrating your Administration's many accomplishments on behalf of the American people," Mrs. DeVos wrote in a letter to the president.

"Instead we are left to clean up the mess caused by violent protesters overrunning the U.S. Capitol in an attempt to undermine the people's business. That behavior was unconscionable for our country. There is no mistaking the impact your rhetoric had on the situation, and it is the inflection point for me."...


Sorry kids, but we here at the driftglass blog have learned that we had fucking well better adherents of the Rules of Right Red Redemption  as laid down by our betters if we know what's good for us  Specifically, that it is much more important to grant ouchless absolution and premium lifeboat seating to literally anyone who says a discouraging word about Trump than it is to hold people accountable for all that they had said and done for decades to enable the rise of a monster Trump.

I wish it were otherwise, but them's is the rules.

Hence Betsy DeVos, Resistance Hero.


Behold, a Tip Jar!

Good morning, Mr. Glass.

I sense the nation's collective IQ ever-so-slightly rising. I can't explain why.

Best to you and your loved ones.

Gravity

As it pertains to the Ebb and Neap tides of time. Why must one of the tides be so damn extreme?

Out the door as quickly as possible and hope no one notices beyond, seeing the exit and not remembering her 4 years attempting to destroy the American education system and a whole lot more. DeVos and Chao are cowards. Had they been brave the two of them would have worked towards having Trump Section 25ed. Does't matter what happens, DeVos can get on one of her many yachts and sale off shore until the nastiness is over.
