Let Me Tell You

April 03, 2018 By: Juanita Jean Herownself Category: Uncategorized

Please let me tell you how perfectly damn awful Trump’s cabinet is.

They are so damn awful that they make Rick Perry look good.

Energy Secretary Rick Perry once called for abolishing the agency he now runs — though he forgot its name. His biggest policy initiative of the past year went down in resounding defeat. And he was photographed in a bear hug with a coal magnate seeking a special break from the White House.

But that still makes the former Texas governor a success by the standards of President Donald Trump’s Cabinet, where several of his peers have been swimming against a flood of ethical and spending scandals.

Y’all, this is Governor Oops.  This guy could not remember the name of the agency he now heads and when he finally did remember the name, it wanted to abolish it.

I’m not saying that Rick Perry is stupid.  I’m just saying that he has real bad luck when it comes to thinking.

But, he’s the Champion of Good Government when compared to the rest of the Trump administration.

Damn, y’all.  That’s damn awful.

Thanks to Bryan for the heads up.

What The Hell Does He Have To Do To Get Fired?

I’m beginning to think that Scott Pruitt is fireproof.

President Trump called EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt on Monday night and told him “Keep your head up. Keep fighting. We got your back,” according to an administration official.

Chief of Staff John Kelly followed up on Tuesday morning and they talked about the President’s call and Kelly reinforced the President’s message.

I am amused that Kelly has to call people back after they talked to Trump because, bless his heart, Trump doesn’t even know the name of the place where he holds the Easter Egg Hunt.

I guess if you’re keeping big oil happy, raping the environment, and God only know what else at the “room” he rents from an oil lobbyist, you’ve got yourself some that “job security” that no one else has at the place with no name.

Here’s the latest.  All this kissy face from Trump and Kelly came after Pruitt bypassed the administration to give enormous raises to two hires who came with him from Oklahoma.  Everyone thought this slap in the face would jeopardize Pruitt’s job.

Nope. Not in the least.

What’s it gonna take?

Thanks to Henry for the heads up.

 

 

With Republicans, It’s Hardly Even News

Well, another stalwart of Republican family values and high moral standards just got caught doing … you really don’t wanna know.

But I’m gonna tell you anyway because you need to roll your eyes to get your day started.

Suffolk County District Judge Robert Cicale, a Republican from the Long Island town of Islip, was removed from the bench and faces up to 15 years in prison for underwear burglary.

A married father of three, Cicale admitted to stealing underwear owned by his 23-year-old neighbor that worked for him when he was the town attorney. He said he was acting on “urges” that led him to do so.

Urges?  Is that the same thing that made you vote for Donald Trump?

As any good Republican would, he plead not guilty.  You know, after admitting doing it because of urges.

Honey, I’m getting eye roll fatigue.

Thanks to Sarah for the heads up.

Two Things

First, I broke my glasses last night and can’t get a new pair until Friday.  Long story.  Yes, I had a spare pair.  I broke them in January. Meanwhile, I cannot see squat.  I am not responsible for autocorrect until then because I’m just guessing what I’m typing.

Second, I raised that kid right and he didn’t help none at all.  Our youngest son, Mark, is suing Alex Jones.  If you see the story anywhere else, please let me know.

 

No, Seriously. He’s From Peculiar, Missouri. You Cannot Make that Up.

Yeah, pretty much the town was named after him.  And I don’t mean the Austin part.

Austin Petersen, a native of Peculiar, Missouri, stated Wednesday evening “It’s time we start talking about legalizing machine guns and repealing the National Firearms Act entirely.”

Peculiar Petersen is a libertarian who is running for Sen. Claire McCaskill’s senate seat.

He Tweets.

 

Petersen is a member of the doubling down school of stoopidity.

Thanks to Deb T for the heads up.

 

Hey Buddy, Salute This!

Last Wednesday, a new website was launched.  It’s called Patriots United for Freedom.

It must be legitimate – the American flag, the Constitution and an American eagle are all on the first page of the web site.

You can’t do that unless you’re legitimate.  It’s the law.

From looking over the website, I can tell that they are for what is good and against what is bad.

To be more specific —

Aren’t you tired of only hearing one side of the Gun debate argument no matter where you turn? Aren’t you tired of these indoctrinated liberals screaming to take your rights away because of the failures to enforce already existing laws? Aren’t you tired of your politicians only seeing one side and slowly chipping away at […]

I can’t find anything after the […] but I am certain that it was very patriotic and had an eagle on it.

One day later, a new PAC was filed with the Federal Elections Commission.

 

And on their website where they say “we,” it more like …

 

… this guy.

Or, as Alfredo says, “Calling for the Repeal of the Second Amendment is Like Catnip for Super PAC Scammers.”

Thanks to Alfredo over at the Dairy Queen for the heads up.
