    Betsy DeVos is the sister of Erik Prince who founded Blackwater, the controversial mercenary group, for those that didn’t know. She vehemently suppressed anything that would benefit public education and funneled public funds to private education while she was Secretary Of Education.

      And she got rich by her husband scamming people via Amway.

    Yeah of course she does

    Betsy DeVos reported at least $225 million — and potentially well over $414 million — in outside income while working as Donald Trump’s education secretary, according to an analysis of DeVos’s financial disclosures by CREW. It is impossible to know the exact amount because DeVos’s income is reported in broad ranges, but we do know for a fact that she made nine figures during her four years in office.

    Oh course she would.

    It was extremely lucrative for her the first time, she’s a ghoul driven only by greed, and it’d be even MORE lucrative if they get back in with a plan to dismantle all the systems in place to protect the country from leeches like her.

    The prediction markets heavily favor Kamala at the moment. It’s a ridiculously large edge, too. To be fair, Hillary Clinton was heavily favored by the prediction markets during the 2016 race, it was only during the midst of election night it flipped.

      Wow. Down to the wire. Not very helpful at predicting anything in that case.

        Clinton didn’t have what’s happening behind her run like Harris has right now. Huge energy, young voters excited, and thousands of volunteers signing up to help in swing states.

        That being said

    I realise now that I had been quite happy this past few years, having forgotten that this gormless moonboot existed.

    Day ruined.
