It’s so American to be ashamed of the world laughing at us, and not at all the heinous shit we’ve done.

Secretary of Education - that would be Linda McMahon: politician, business executive, and former professional wrestling promoter.
Jesus Fucking Christ no wonder the world laughs at us.

Maybe it’s also American to understand I was expressing shame at being heinous, I dunno.
Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I feel barely human most days, because we are all collectively heinous, so I must have missed that.
Agriculture was a mistake.

The real trouble starts when you hit the two rocks together.

Vince McMahon‘s daughter is the secretary of education?
andros_rex@lemmy.world 11 months ago
No, it’s his wife, who has collaborated in a bunch of his fucked up endeavors, bet likely including helping with sex trafficking.
LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Don’t think so, she’s only 3 years younger (76).
MisanthropiCynic@lemm.ee 11 months ago
Oh. Must be his wife

I’m fully onboard that you past shouldn’t matter if you’re good. I won’t hold it against Linda McMahon for her WWE performances etc. But she’s an odd cookie and has no place running education.

Yeah that’s really my point. Somebody who heads a national government department should have something in their past that’s related to what the agency does. Same requirement as for ANY job.
