What I also saw were numerous venomous accusations about how horrible the 'left' is with out provocation. This when no one has not one clue as to who, why or how the vessel was set adrift.
We don't know the who but the rest is in the article:

A $40 million yacht owned by the family of Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos was set adrift by vandals at a dock in Ohio last weekend, causing thousands of dollars worth of damage to the vessel, according to the Toledo Blade.

Wow. Reading comprehension problems, I see. I said a few posts up that I don't condone vandalism.

That being said, when you are captive by your overlords, you raise up. See the Boston tea party and the entire revolutionary war. This is what America was founded on. Rebelling against Governments who are oppressing those beneath them.

You must be proud of them for showing such restraint. Probably even more proud of Antifa.

It’s just a yacht. And it’s not like she doesn’t have spares.

Not condoning vandalism, of course.

I’m sure she has insurance and it seems the yacht was not stolen and nobody was hurt, so all’s well that ends well.

Hilarious.

The U.S. educational system has been continuously failing in city after city, turning out "students" from high schools who can't read or write at a 3rd grade level... a trend that has been accelerating ever since Big Government started imposing more and more controls and withholding funds from schools that didn't knuckle under and obey.

And this leftist thug wants us to believe that the way to "tank the education system" is to give parents a choice of which school to send their kids (and their money) to.

Gotta hand it to the left, sometimes they come up with brilliant flashes of humor.

You want to tank the education system? Just do what's been done for the last 40-plus years: Make it government-controlled.

No reading comprehension problems, I take you at your word. You don't condone "stupid pranks" but she is hated blah blah, therefore I applied deductive reasoning. $10K in damages is hardly a stupid prank. Toilet paper on someone's yard is a stupid prank.

An election is cause for a revolution? You really need to calm down. It will be ok.

Did you not read my reply at all? Pretty much anyone who is involved with public education hates her, regardless of political party. She's a cancer to our education system.

As someone who personally worked in for-profit higher education, one of the last things that matters once you go for-profit is the quality of the education, as long as they can remain certified. Cutting costs and increasing revenues becomes the main goal.

You want to tank the education system? Make it for profit. Anyone who is remotely involved with education knows this.

So are you justifying the destruction of property of a Republican because the socialist "indoctrinators" hate her?

The public education system tanked years ago.

It must have been some of those "bears" that she said they keep guns in schools for. They are pesky and mischievous little creatures.

Claiming you're "not condoning vandalism" doesn't mean you're not condoning vandalism. It just means you're good at talking out of both sides of your mouth in the same post.
