ORIGINAL: AtUrCervix Well.... 1) I didn't elect him (the electoral college did). 2) I have no idea who Devos's brother is. 3) I seriously doubt any connection made between a mercenary for foreign governments, and Betsy Devos is meaningful in any way (and if it isn't....there was no point whatsoever to these two things being in a single post....attempting to make a point about Betsy Devos....who is likely not selling arms or arranging battlefield groups for any nation). DeVos' brother is Erik Prince-- not just a mercenary, but the founder of a private security firm that was found guilty of slaughtering innocent civilians in Iraq. The point is that they both have theocratic aspirations for the US-- her as far as it concerns education, and him as far as it concerns a revival of the Bush-era 'holy war' against Islam, which Bannon is very much in support of and Trump in his mindless narcissism will simply accept because he's so clueless. Maybe you don't care if you end up living in a theocracy ruled by dogma and 'Christian' politics, but I think it's probably worth discussing. I see that you hate Christians as much as you do conservatives. Another gap in your knowledge is that a large segment ( and note that I did not say all ) of Islam is in a Jihad against us which we must win or surrender . You do not seem to understand is that attempting to defeat radical Islam does not mean you want a Christian theocracy. All of Blackwater was not convicted of anything. If he personally were convicted of murder he would still be in prison so you seem to be in left field again. Baring her from holding public position makes no more sense than barring Hillary from running for office because her brother was a drug dealer, after all they were both raised with the same values.
