    DINO (Democrat In Name Only) Joe Manchin (D-WV) voted to confirm Betsy DeVos.

    This scumbag also voted to confirm Jeff Sessions and Scott Pruitt, so anyone out there who knows anyone in West Virginia, tell him/her to either force him into a primary or vote against him in one.

    I guess it's part of their civics education but it seems a little manipulative to me. I doubt the six year olds dreamed this up.
