Rick Perry Oh No!
Rick Perry has announced that he’s probably running for President of the United Damn States of America. The man who in a presidential debate could not remember all three of the departments he wanted to abolish and ended up saying “Oops” to a stunned audience of people who can generally remember three things at once, has now decided that he has certifiable evidence that remembering things is not a quality America actually wants in a President.
Being forgetful is actually a plus now! It makes testifying under oath so damn easier.
Perry was Drumpf’s first Secretary of Energy so I’ll bet he remembers it this time. He may even know he was responsible for the nuclear arsenal, but I wouldn’t put money on that.
1I saw that “announcement” and immediately thought of you, JJ. It’s all just too much fun!
2No surprises, really. To flourish in the conservative ecosystem the only “must have” ability is to be able to constantly spout things that conservative like to hear.
Truth has nothing to do with it. Integrity has nothing to do with it. You don’t even really have to be white anymore, which is all they need as “proof” that racism exists only on the left.
3I’ve come to the conclusion tfg is paying (cash American money) to all the gop’ers to run and look even dumber than he is. That is why they have nothing to say against him.
4The debate “Oopsie” was before the SMRT glasses. Doesn’t count.
5I’m starting to think that GOP candidates run for office to tap into that river of gullible money. Actually winning would just be a bonus.
6Perhaps the Perry household has become overextended and needs to get back on the gravy train. Running for office has become a family business for some of these grifters.
7Funny all TFG’s friends and supporters are in the race for POTUS. I can’t figure why that splitting the primary vote 10 ways will help Trump. He’s gonna get what he gets. No anybody but Trump primary voter can get more votes than Trump. But, looks like the Trump team knows something I don’t.
8The sad part is that in a race between Perry, Trump, and DeSantis, I’d have to vote for Perry.
9Trish, I would have to write in ‘ None of the Above.’
10I wish there had a been a “none of the above” box to check when I had to choose between bad or worse AZ senate candidates Sinema and McSally.
Trish @ 10 – They can run the three stooges. I’ll still vote for Biden.
11Perry being another R narcissist needs the attention though he’s to stupid to know the attention he’ll get is people laughing at him. Also, not sure if he’s got a paying job, but running is a license to grift for contributions he can spend on himself.
Trish @10- I’m with Papa. Can’t understand how any patrons of the Salon would vote for any of the three “stooges“.They’re all awful.
12Hahaha! Trish @ 9
He has my vote only if he promises to wear his ‘smart’ glasses. It pays to forget if your in the Mafia, errr GOP.
I remember when …
‘Total Recall’ video

Talk about weaponizing the government. Not only was Bush purging unloyal Attorney Generals but everyone in goverment down to File Clerks and replacing them with Liberty University graduates.
‘When Gonzales became attorney general in 2005, he ordered a performance review of all U.S. Attorneys. On December 7, 2006, seven United States attorneys were notified by the United States Department of Justice that they were being dismissed, after the George W. Bush administration sought their resignation.’
13The more chaos monkeys they have in the primaries, the better for Biden.
14Oh, I’m definitely voting Biden against any of these three. But I typically vote in the Republican primary trying to do my humble best to skew towards the least extreme candidate plus that is where so many lower elections get decided.
15Perry had an interview on CNN where he was touting psychedelic mushrooms (but no recreational drugs because using those might make one have an affair in a South Congress Ave motel with another male).
It looks like Perry has been using his own product.
16Trish- thanks. I should have figured that.
17I have to say, on this story, I’m with the woman giving some serious ‘side eye’ to Perry in the photo at the top……just too perfect!
18Come on folks, give Perry a break. He was an Aggie, and a cheerleader as well. At this point I’d insert an Aggie joke, but Rick Perry is both: an Aggie and a (bad) joke.
Trish@15: your strategy is the opposite of the Republican strategy in my area. They vote in the Democratic primary for whoever they think is the most extremely progressive candidate, confident that person can’t win in the general election. A Democrat voting for the worst extremist in the Republican primary would end up with … Trump. So your approach makes sense.
19You knew it was going to be a shitshow when Perry was appointed Secretary of the cabinet position whose name he couldn’t remember.
20In our area, the Rs outnumber the Ds, so to boost their numbers in primaries, they cross-file as Ds. I learned early on when moving here that you have to take a list into the booth, or a voting guide, as there are phantoms/fakes in the list of Ds to vote for. I would rather do almost anything to NOT EVER AGAIN vote for an R. They are all liars and traitors, and not good for anyone’s health.
