So When Your Brother Owns His Own Army …
… you can be dumb as a stump. Ted Lieu won the internet today speaking about Betsy DeVos.
Here’s the link to was talking about.
I have a question – are Betsy’s teeth as fake as Trump’s hair.
Thanks to SGray for the heads up.
I am just grateful I never bought Amway. I’d hate to think that I helped pay for their education, which was in private schools.

2Now that we know about Eric Prince and his meeting in the Seychelles, did Betsy De Vose get that job because of her brothers services to Trump?
The woman has a BA in economics.
Has no teaching experience, has no education degree and does not even have a Masters.
Most states require teachers to have a Masters degree.
She is dumber then bean dip. And sounds about as intelligent.
3Her teeth are real, the smile is not. The embalmer was too scared to seal her lips. Or, as Cicely Strong in her skit as ‘Hope Hicks’ said: “like the human version of black lungs on cigarette boxes.” That was about Kellyanne Conway, but equally true of Betsy.
Be kind. Be respectful. A lab rat somewhere gave its life so that Dick Cheney could have the heart and Betsy the brain.
4I keep being curious. WHAT are some of the basic questions she was asked? Not that she’s qualified. I just want to know. I haven’t figured out how to turn the volume up on my new phone. Every new and improved phone gets harder to live with. It took my husband and me two days to figure out how to live with the thing. It’s obsessed with security and movies and is very bossy. Probably smarter than DeVos, though.
5I used to buy Amway. They had a liquid cleaner that was great. It was also overpriced. If I’d known who owned them I wouldn’t have bought it. Somebody needs to write a goofy novel about a very unqualified person hired to work for the President and meanwhile her brother with his own army bribes her to snoop around the White House so he can sneak in. I think DeVos could play the part of herself.
“Dumber than a bag of hammers.”
6“About as sharp as a bag of wet mud.”
7Pardon me Mr. Lieu, but would that be an African swallow or a European swallow?
8You have to know these things when you’re a king you know. But apparently the bar is set much lower for cabinet members in a repugnantcan administration.
Sufficiently st00pid as to be a member of the Dotard45 maladministration.
Marge Wood, as old Betsy hammered down on the evils of public education, she confessed as to having never visited a public school in distress. She coyly calls them “underperforming.”
DE VOST: I have not intentionally visited schools that are underperforming.
STAHL: Maybe you should.
DE VOS: Maybe I should, yes.
Marge Wood, just a guess, but given Betsy’s reception at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School and other schools previous, in a word the students have a message she should understand: nyet.
9Betsy paid upwards of $200,000,000.00 to buy her position as Sec of education. All so she can “use the schools to build god’s army.” Apparently ole Betsy has never read the Constitution of the United States. That pesky amendment of separation of church and state is just bound to get in the way. She must go. NOW!
10These are the people who got us into the Iraq war. It was not about democracy (Saddam was a tyrant–but he was our tyrant–paid by the CIA). It was about the Bush family stealing the Iraq oil–which was governed then by the UN anyway. The US prevailed over the other UN nations because we were the biggest bullies on the block.
11Betsy DeVoid of All Humanity just so f*cking clueless, the mind reels. After watching Leslie Stahl rip her to shreds, preceded by the Senate Democrats, I’m convinced that if I rapped my knuckles on her skull the echoes would resound for weeks.
12The teeth are irrelevant. It’s the vortex of unexamined prejudice whirling around the space between her ears that matters.
13“A whole bubble out of plumb.”
14Jane and PKM , I love your phrase, “A lab rat somewhere gave its life so that Dick Cheney could have the heart and Betsy the brain.” I watched that cringe-worthy, gut-wrenching interview with Stahl. Three questions in a row, different questions, but all elicited her pat statement of empty words. I already watched the thing with extreme prejudice, and was rewarded with being right in hating the woman.
15“all of them, Katie.”
16Oh, extra points to Ted Lieu for the Monty Python reference.
17Jane and PKM, I beg to differ.
I accept that Dick Cheney was given the heart of a rat, as the replacement most compatible with his remaining organs.
But no way in Hell could Betsy DeVos ever be trained to run a maze.
Nope, the only brain even roughly equivalent to Betsy’s original equipment is the Scarecrow’s head, stuffed with straw.
