As well as in mine...

But, tell me, have ever heard of someone who's competent or fit for his position in the Trump Administration ?

Oh, and exploiting their positions for their own, and their friends financial benefit. They do a smashing job, when it comes to exploitation.

When the ultimate goal is the selfish destruction of the country, job competence just doesn't even merit a mention.

I think you encapsulated "repuglicons" pretty well.

The last time I heard one of our elected representatives from that party express an interest in the common weal was 20-30 years ago.

Perhaps the Gingrich, ALEC, Rove influence. All money-based. None social justice. Period.

I hate to say this, but I really feel for the conservatives that were part of that party in the pre-1990's era and who watched whatever social credence they had established be demolished by money and lobbyists.

in a school where the teachers are kicking in 1/4 to 1/3 of their already meager salaries just to supply classrooms with the basics like pens. Preferably in an extremely poor school district. And make her live "on the economy"; rent, food, transportation, utilities, insurance (vehicle, home, health), co-pays, etc.

She wouldn't make it one week.

Better yet, make it a very small school in a remote village up here, film it & send it to everyone.

You may guess I am a YUUUUUUGE fan of educators. And NOT of DeVos.
