She really was a useless thing wasn’t she, The creepy teachers intimidated her from the beginning and she just phoned it in after that. Nobody ever speaks about her. She wants to go home and figure how to keep her big ole fortune.

We don’t need list. You can count the non-family members who have been loyal to Trump on your fingers. That is what it feels like to me.

I would also caution people that the media are in full-on gotcha question mode with anyone in the administration. They twist words (look at 60 minutes interview) to fit their narrative.

Look at the poor congress critter out there today talking about Rudy G saying he wanted combat with the opposition. Well, he did say that..... combat in a court room. Do you think the media included the second part? No. Now there is some republicrat running around claiming Rudy was promoting violence. It’s as silly as the Palin “target a state” ad was during some gun control push.

The media leads the GOPe around by their nose in DC. They all read the same crap and drink the same swamp water.

That makes no sense. Consider the resume. Abandoned boss the last 13 days. I would not hire someone like that.

DeVos obviously is not well educated.

Where she would end up would probably be at a swamp job where at least a NeverTrumper would be in charge.

DeVos and her family here in Michigan are true dyed in the wool conservative loyalist.

They have given Pro-Life orgs. Millions of dollars of their own money. They support financially many causes and candidates that are real conservatives not RINOs.

Betsy DeVos has been loyal to the President in every way.
She’s an extremely wealthy woman and didn’t need the job. She took it to make a difference.

More likely, DeVos resigned because she couldn’t stomach working with Biden’s people to transition.

DeVos has never held public office before. Hardly the M.O. of Deep State.

Doesn’t need the money, and who’d read it? Really not a position that couldn’t remain unfilled, regardless.

Sorry to burst your bubble but she said why she quit in a statement. DeVos ATTACKED President Trump.

General John “The Mole” Kelly said today Trump should be kicked out office under 25th Amendment.

DeVos was immersed in GOP politics in Michigan for years. In the 2016 election campaign her support went from Yeb Bush to Carly Fiorino to Marco Rubio as each loser successively went down in flames.

Her brother is Erik Prince — the founder of Blackwater USA.

This family has “deep state globalists” written all over them.

I have no bubble to burst.

I’m aware of what she said........in fact I knew what the WSJ published before I said it. DeVos is not a politician but she has a few in her family.
It’s CYA week don’t ya know......

She wanted to dismantle the Dept. of Education in Trumps second term. The woman had plans and hates Leftist.

She’s the wife of Amway Billionare Rich Devos, who’s been a friend of Trump for years. I hope to hell she cleared this through her husband or her sugar daddy just might divorce her ass real soon, She only got the job because he asked Trump to give it to her.

She said we should be celebrating Trump’s achievements but instead we have to deal with the aftermath of what happened...or something like that.

Why can’t we do both, you nitwit?
