    and fined $100k, for disregarding a judges order. Another pay to play appointee showing their corruption. No wonder trump chose her besides the large donation she gave to trump during his run for the presidency. When this is all said and done this administration will likely go down in history as the most corrupt administration in history.

    Oh yeah, I'm sure money had something to do with it but I was referring to her vast experience/qualifications in the field of education system management.

    That woman doesn't know shit about education. She should never have been put in charge. Don't expect any less from Trump though

    I think you are giving her short shrift. She's well qualified to grift.

    She has experience fucking up education in Michigan, no reason she can't be trusted to fuck it up federally as well.

    Well, the Ivanka administration may turn out to be even more corrupt.

    Actually, the Nixon administration had more indictments, convictions and prison sentences, but the Trump administration is more efficient (higher numbers per year). Not sure that Trump administration will manage to hit the numbers Nixon did, but that's because there is a good chance it will not last the 7+ years the Nixon administration did.
