Not cool, dude :paul:

Why6 did you think it was a good thing that DeVose had lied?

No one can ever accuse you of not trolling and/or telling someone what they said. Obviously, the good thing was the assertion that Trump changed his stance on slashing Special Olympics funding. Don't you agree?

She had one of the most embarrassing confirmation hearings, where she exposed herself to be ignorant of even the most basic education laws and concepts. Soon after, she came out and said Common Core no longer existed, even though over 70% of the states still had it. She called HBCU's pioneers of school choice. She suggested that states should decide if IDEA (what provides special education for students with disabilities) should be enforced.

I went back to read the first threads on her. A number of conservatives expressed concerns with her, but there was one person that was pushing back hard against any criticism of her, suggesting she was only being called unqualified because she was Trump's pick.

Dill, I'll let you guess who that was.

Some people just hate bad, massively unqualified cabinet picks only because TRUMP picked them.

Was it someone who "doesn't always defend Trump"?

Actually when it comes to you and your Donald nothing is "obvious".

For example in this thread there was 100% agreement that it was a good thing that Trump restored the funding for the Special Olympics yet this is what your Trumpwashed brain saw.  .  .

The fact is that not one single person slammed him for "reversing his stance".  Everyone that was criticizing him was doing it because he had to be forced to change his original ridiculous position and that he had appointed someone to his cabinet who is completely clueless about the will of the people.

The only people who OBVIOUSLY saw it as people slamming the President for funding special Olympics are the ones who dwell so deep in the echo chamber they have lost touch with reality.  Seriously, dude who here do you think was bashing the President for funding Special Olympics?  You say it is "obvious" but going back through the thread I don't see anyone who bashed him for re-instating the funding.

All that and you didn't answer the simple question posed that would have taken 2 or 3 letters to answer.

If we are to believe DeVos: Do you think it's a good thing that POTUS changed his mind?

That's just flat out trolling.  Kind of a shame really.

So it's a yes. Why is everything like pulling teeth with you "two"?

It wasn't.  We both answered clearly.

You just kept saying your question was "never" answered and quoted where it was answered again.  Sad.

Apparently someone has trouble with reading comprehension.
