TRUMP SLAMS LINDA INTO THE EDUCATION SECRETARY POSITION.

[–] Yodan@lemm.ee 19 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Since literally everything in the government seems to be getting dismantled, what companies are going to pick up the pieces for these sectors? If we are drowning in a sinking ship we can at least invest in a life boat to buy eggs with and fight the impending inflation. The goal seems to shift trillions from government funding to private sectors and deregulate to let the friends of Trump get even wealthier.

I’m buying reits. Real assets may hold their value while trump is purposely fucking shit up.

Reminds me of Dolores Umbridge. Why do they all remind me of Dolores Umbridge?

[–] PunnyName@lemmy.world 23 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Because despite the fact that Voldy was Harry's nemesis via prophecy, Umbridge was everyone nemesis. Just out of spite.

She was worse.

Imelda Staunton did an amazing job of playing such a vile character. She really nailed the lawful evil nature from source material.
