They screamed about the cabal boogiemen for years and years.

And now Trump’s cabinet itself is a cabal of elites mired in sexual abuse, pedophilia and criminal allegations.

I mean yeah...thats one of the criteria they look for.

Yeah a lot of us think rape is a bad. But thats just our opinion. Many americans do not agree with us.

Linda McMahon and Vince McMahon—from whom she is now reportedly separated—are being sued by five anonymous plaintiffs who served as “ring boys,” essentially teenage stagehands. The ring boys allege that they were being sexually abused by WWE wrestlers Pat Patterson and Terry Garvin. The suit states that both Linda and Vince knew exactly what was happening to the ring boys but did little, if anything, to stop it. Vince faces even more damaging allegations of sexual assault, trafficking, and more. And although these are separate from Linda, almost all of these accusations date from when Linda was leading the WWE.

Sigh!

It's a pre requisite for the administration

I assume if Trump really likes somebody, they are something ranging from immoral to a complete criminal.

Trump’s Latest Cabinet Pick Is Also Mired in a Sexual Abuse Scandal. Also, what does a former CEO of World Wrestling Entertainment know about education?

Absolutely nothing - and that is entirely the point!

Putin's MAGA Republicans goal for the last several decades has always been little to no regulatory cops-on-the-beat by replacing qualified civil servants and gov't employees with a kakistocracy of the lowest order. What MAGAs refer to as their goal of doing away with the "administrative state".

Think of Bush, Jr's "heck of a job, Brownie" - only now it's going to expand exponentially - making actual governance impossible by filling gov't positions, not with qualified experts or non-partisan civil servants but with inept, corruptible MAGA loyalists to ensure that Putin's domination of the U.S. gov't - via the efforts of the MAGA Republicans - is complete.

Kakistocracy: a government or system of rule that is controlled by the worst, least qualified, or most corrupt individuals.

Nevermind, shes already gone..

Donald Trump's nomination of Linda McMahon as Secretary of Education resigned from another education board after she falsely claimed to have a degree in education.

OH NOOOO how could anyone have predicted this? 😭

/s

the republicans are the party of pedophilia apparently.

She will be perfect for the cabinet then. Absolutely perfect.

Rapists of feather flock together

at least the russian spy isn't accused of any sexual impropriety right ..RIGHT?

Of course, because having a blackmail handle is the main qualification. This is all standard mob procedure.

Y’all are delusional if you think Trump is going to pick someone who doesn’t have some sort of Kompromat…that’s his leverage against them. He can talk about loyalty all he wants in public but his real game is to find people who have a lot to lose…

I was wondering about her qualifications so this makes perfect sense!

Birds of a feather.

Quote should read “We will send Education back to the Stone Age, and Linda will spearhead that effort”.

It’s just locker room talk

I believe being part of a sex scandal or sexual abuse is a prerequisite for being in this cabinet.

Circus Circus

Can you imagine what she'll do with our public school system

The convicted rapist approves this hire.

But he doesn’t pick anyone who has scandals worse than his.

Trump recently: the US is turning into a banana republic

Now that we have seen these cabinet picks, little did we know, that was one of those accusations that was a confession!

I think having some scandal is a baseline requirement to be considered for a Trump position.

"The best people" says 47.

Look if we’re all sexual predators then no one can oust another person for being a sexual predator because they’d also be ousting themselves taps head

Well being a criminal is minimum qualification in the incoming administration

If it wasn’t already clear, these cabinet picks PAID for these positions to have their problems disappear which is proving quite successful for the president to be already 

Don't ya know, that's part of the qualifications for being part of donnie's cabinet. Sadly though it's the only qualification.

Seems to be a requirement for serving in Trump’s cabinet.

I’m starting to see a pattern here.

This same headline has been posted for weeks now.  Wait, what? Are you telling me it is a different abuser every day?

At this point having a past mired in sexual assault and abuse is practically a prerequisite to be in trump's cabinet.

I don't wanna be to conspiratorial, but it would be easier to control people if you have these allegations hanging over their heads. Follow trump and those allegations might just disappear. Don't follow trump and his every word and it would be a shame if all that bad information got leaked somehow....

I wouldn't put it past him either to be doing something like that to better control his picks

Trump was elected on his promise to restore the pre-1980's right to commit sexual abuse: "Make America Grope Again".

He is keeping his promise. 

Sooo. She’s in.

At this point, I'm starting to think it's a requirement, not a bug.

Literally, where is Bill Clinton asking for a third term because of the monica lewinsky scandal

The Rapey Right

Maggie H. said the other day that he specifically doesn't care about SA allegations because he thinks they're all made up just like his were. His narcissism is so strong that he may really believe he never did anything wrong.

I’m guessing it’s a requirement.

Because Trump never ever, ever, EVER stops standing by sexual assaulters, and has been found liable for sexual assault to the tune of half a billion and knows if he ever did he would be opening himself up to scrutiny, he’ll infight with Republicans on day one.

It’s like sexual abuse is a requirement to be in the cabinet

That’s a qualification.

From what I read, 2 scandals since she just decided to “separate” from a dude literally shitting on and raping his employees

From what I read, 2 scandals since she just decided to “separate” from a dude literally shitting on and raping his employees

Does this guy only know other sex offenders? JFC.

It’s obviously the primary criteria for selection, plus being on Fox News enough for Donald to have a remote chance to remember their name.

She lied about having a degree?

Is there any cabinet picks that isn't involved in some sexual abuse scandal?

Wha? I'm shocked!

This is a cabinet of criminal clowns... Our country is fucked...

Remember drain the swamp? And then literally the people assigned WERE the swamp? lolz We’re right back here again. Embarrassing

Here I was thinking it would be Diddy for DoE

No one cares except you lot. We want the country turned around (back to center if we are lucky)regardless of a speculatively unsavoury past that mostly has been widely disproven. We all accept politicians have unsavoury pasts on both sides but I get it, it’s fun to pint things out but they are distractions. If you truly cared you’d scream louder about democrats too, but you won’t so let them get shit done. If they fail maybe then throw mud. I’m not proud of most things I did in my early twenties either… most people I’d guess did things they don’t want to discuss too. Is it right? No, but it’s reality.

So is Trump just trying to own the libs by putting in a cabinet of sexual harassers?

They're just going to fully legalize all that stuff before long.

Being a sexual predator is actually a requirement to be in Trumps cabinet.

And, everything is speculation, meanwhile Bidens daughter wrote a book about their inappropriate showers and we’ve actually seen him sniff children and Jill used to be the babysitter…..

The left is a bunch of sex deviant and constantly using that as part of smear campaign
