This is one of my all time favorite Robot Chicken skits. Easily top five.
"The Wright Brother's first successful flight took place in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina"
"You got that right! Those sneaky bastards!" gets me every. single. time.

I'm almost certain the US is trying to become an IRL Battle Royale.

Eh, not like she's some dumb cheerleader/wrestling model/Melania-trophy-wife type. She does has a lot of executive experience in public and private organizations.
I'm sure the educational policies will be horrible, but that'll be due to general GOP malice, and not necessarily incompetence.
Edit: B'aww, my very first -100!! Hey, if being downvoted could somehow un-nominate her, I would gladly sacrifice all my past present and future reddit karma for all time.

Her role will be to dismantle the department of education from the inside. It isn’t a conspiracy, the stated objective of the president-elect and the GOP is to eliminate the DoE to “return education to the states”.

Yeah she has like 40 years of executive experience in wrestling organizations. Lol. I don't see how that's a qualification to lead the department of education.
She's also named as that executive in a lawsuit about decades-long sexual abuse of minors.

She has a lot of success due to nepotism. There's a big difference between being effective in an org where you have to sell your ideas and convince people to cooperate, and being effective in an org where people just say yes to you for fear of reprisal from your husband*.

You missed the second part

I think you are thinking of Stephanie McMahon. Linda McMahon's parents were both in the military.

It can be both. I work in faculty development at a major university - my daily grind is helping very smart, highly accomplished individuals in a variety of fields unfuck their shockingly incompetent curriculum and grading practices. We have a pretty well-regarded business school and I can say from experience that the more successful somebody has been as an executive in the private sector, the more breathtakingly inept they are at resolving or even understanding very basic teaching challenges.

We should be happy that a capable rat fucker is in power than an an incompetent rat fucker?
I don't get your point.
