Education Secretary Linda McMahon said the federal shutdown offers evidence that her agency is “unnecessary.”

In a social media post on Wednesday, McMahon said the shutdown has forced agencies to evaluate what work is really needed. She made the comment days after her department started firing hundreds of workers amid mass layoffs across the government.

“Two weeks in, millions of American students are still going to school, teachers are getting paid, and schools are operating as normal,” McMahon said.

    Nah, Harris would have won the election, and MAGA would have ended.

    The MAGAs would have gone nuts, of course, they react on instinct, like the feral animals they are, but they are a Cult of Personality, and without Trump, they will peter out fairly quickly. They would continue on for a while, causing trouble like the KKK, but they’d have little to no power, and would have faded into history.

    Instead, the kid missed, leaving them the opportunity to steal the election.

      Maybe you’re right, I’m not saying it’s impossible, but I see Trump more as the symptom of the rot than the cause itself.

        Sure, Trump’s death won’t end Conservative treason, corruption, and racism, but it will take away the lightning rod that attracted them all together.
