    So, to Trump it’s because: wrestling was fun in the 90s, she has a famous last name, she’s a woman and most teachers are women, she enabled the sexual abuse of countless children, and she has absolutely no experience. She’s clearly his perfect pick. I honestly can’t imagine him naming anyone better than this terrible person.

    It feels like I’m on the game show Press Your Luck while reading these headlines. “Holy shit, please don’t be real, hopefully I’ll see a link to theonion.com - AND STOP!”

    What the actual fuck is going on? Would Joe Rogan getting an appointment be a bridge too far for his supporters or is nothing off the table?
