  1. No, she came off as plain stupid long before that.

  2. > Comes off as plain stupid?

    She’s been stupid for years Esquire, odd that you are just coming up with this now.

  4. She wants to make sure kids can get A1 on their school lunches. How is she not smart?!

  6. That’s probably the nicest way to say it.

    I think any headline that includes her should be written in the parlance of a WWE commentator like Bobby “The Brain” Hennan or Gorilla Monsoon.

    It would be fantastic to have Macho Man Randy Savage doing interviews in defense of the U.S. against these thieves from now on. His iconic blood pressured brow would be a pretty good symbol for how the country is feeling, I think.

  7. Cuz she is stupid. This “cabinet” was intentionally set up with the most unqualified people with the intent of dismantling their respective departments, so that their buddies in the “private” sector can steamroll into them and privatize what was once publicly held.

  9. By “comes off” you mean “proves herself”, of course.

  10. She’s on video referring to AI as A1 multiple times. Who thought the former CEO of WWE would be a good fit for education secretary?

  11. Oh wow, the wife of a wrestling promoter isn’t qualified to run an entire department of the government? Who could have guessed that would be the case (besides everyone)?

  12. Incompetent, greedy,loyalist, hack, faker clowns that are completely in over their heads . Americans should be embarrassed and ashamed.

  13. That’s because she is. More A1 steak sauce in schools! Right Linda?

  15. Said Buttigieg: “Like I love A1 Steak Sauce, but A1 steak sauce is not one of the most important things confronting humanity right now. Artificial intelligence is. And somebody who doesn’t understand that probably should not be leading an important federal agency.”

  16. Why does she even want this job? All its doing is making her look like a huge asshole, there no upside for her.

  17. This is incorrect: she *is* plain stupid. She doesn’t “come off” as plain stupid.

  18. She IS stupid. And far down the path of cognitive decline as well.

  19. Authoritarian leaders generally prefer incompetent officials because incompetence helps ensure their loyalty

  20. She doesn’t just come off that way. She goes on that way too: Plain Stupid.

  21. The Daily Fail was calling her out. Other conservatives are waking up to this shit.

  24. She has not spine and barely a free thought to her head. She is still married to a monster of human being who has cheated on her repeatedly. This is a person who has no soul and aligns herself with the worst individuals in society.

  25. It’s a contest between cabinet members to see who can out-stupid each other. It is frightening that these are the people in charge.

  26. Am I mistaken, or is ~~Harlem~~ Harvard even **more** free to ignore governmental interference as a privately-funded university?

  27. She’s a twat and her husband is a criminal, hence, why she got the job.

  28. She’d come off as incredibly stupid in a dispute with a door knob.

  29. It’s always hilarious when these absolute numbskull donkey dicks try to go toe-to-toe with actual smart people. It’s so cringey. Problem is the base is so fucking dumb they can’t tell the difference. They think McMahon is winning by sending an idiotic letter littered with conservative talking points that make no sense and mean absolutely nothing to anyone outside of the conservative cult.

    It’s like watching a cocky YMCA basketball player challenge an NBA star and getting absolutely fucking SMOKED yet remain convinced they really took it to the NBA-er.

  30. Pay close attention to #11

    The characteristics of Fascism are:

    1. Powerful and continuing expressions of nationalism
    2. Disdain for the importance of human rights
    3. Identification of enemies/scapegoats as a unifying cause
    4. The supremacy of the military/avid militarism
    5. Rampant sexism
    6. A controlled mass media
    7. Obsession with national security
    8. Religion and ruling elite tied together
    9. Power of corporations protected
    10. Power of labor suppressed or eliminated
    11. Disdain and suppression of intellectuals and the arts
    12. Obsession with crime and punishment
    13. Rampant cronyism and corruption
    14. Fraudulent elections

  31. > “You have an approximately $53 billion head start, much of which was made possible by the fact that you are living within the walls of, and benefiting from, the prosperity secured by the United States of America and its free-market system you teach your students to despise.”

    This is an amazing tidbit about a University that pumps out more Fortune 500 CEO’s and lawyers than almost any other university in the country. They’re certainly hating on the system!

  32. > in escalating trumps war, Ed secretary Linda McMahon ~~comes off as~~ is Plain Stupid

    In her defense, she was stupid before all that, too

  33. Probably because she is stupid?

    This, and her being rich AF, were her “qualifications” for this role.

  34. These people are all so stupid. The problem is they are so brazen and no one is standing up to them. The second you actually do stand in their way, they immediately fold. We should all learn a lesson from Canada, Maine, and Harvard.

  35. Why would a remedial math program be embarrassing? If people need help, giving them an avenue to do that is a kindness.

  36. Groucho to the rescue:

     “[McMahon] may look like an idiot and talk like an idiot, but don’t let that fool you, she really *is* an idiot.”

  37. Whaaaa? The woman married to a serial rapist carnival barker isn’t SMART?!?!

    Stop the presses, folks.
