Let Me Tell You
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.
Yesterday I held up to my husband a photo of a bunch of clowns and said, “And here we have the Trump cabinet….”
But they’re scary, killer clowns like the ones in horror movies. They’re grossly incompetent, they want to destroy their department by selling it off or abolishing what it does entirely, they’re corrupt and living high off taxpayers’ money, and they’re doing damage that will last for decades and in some cases millennia (at EPA and Interior). Some of them are all of the above.
And the longer it’s allowed to go on, the more it will look like normal.
1Nope – you were incorrect. Mr. Good Hair IS stupid.
2It’s the glasses. It took awhile, but after he started wearing glasses he slowly became the smartest guy in the room. Of course he slowly became surrounded by people dumber than he is so…
3Broad daylight brazen heist at the White House and Congressional Republicans are driving the get away vehicles.
4Is voting our only defense?
5Remember Dominionism?
This is totally weird sounding but Rick Perry and Whatshisface Pence (and Ted Cruz and Dan Patrick) have the goal of turning the USA into a theocracy, so if we tie Trump up and take away his cell phone and have Pence for president, we are helping the Dominionists get ready to celebrate. Some are more extreme than others, and some are well, some are Sarah Palin and Michelle Bachmann.
VOTE.
And the Golden Gibbon makes Bushlet look like a genius! Bushlet, who couldn’t even speak his own language correctly let alone French (“They don’t have a word for entrepreneur.”) And he went to Yale. He must have slept through every damn class. Flunk out? Nah! Not with Poppy’s $$ backing him up.
6NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
7I know, I know…BUT…we have current embarrassments from Texas. Louie Gohmert, Steve Stockman, Blake Farenthold, Joe “You Make Me Hot” Barton (YUCK!). At least he looks good.
8Perhaps Governor Goodhair simply isn’t competent enough to fulfill his assignment of destroying the agency he “leads.”
9Oh, Rhea, you are so right about the damage being done to our country by what passes for an administration. I was listening to Madeline Albright on NPR speak about fascism and how it happens a step at a time until all of a sudden we realize what’s going on and it’s too late. When Steve Bannon talked about government deconstruction, I got a chill down my spine. It’s happening to our environment, our government agencies and destruction of our allied relationships. Putin used Trump and the Rethugs to invade our country and unless the Dems win big, we are doomed.
10Today’s Houston Chronicle had an obit for Hannah Chennault, which talked about how she interfered with the Vietnam War peace talks in 1968. Three days after she persuaded Nguyen Van Thieu not to participate in the Paris peace talks by promising him that he’d get a better deal from Nixon, Nixon won the 1968 election. LBJ was furious and wanted to prosecute her.
Fast forward to 1980. Remember the October Surprise? There were reliable reports that George H.W. Bush met in Paris with representatives of the Iranian government to persuade them not to release their American hostages. They didn’t, and St. Ronnie Raygun won the 1980 election.
Fast forward again to the election of 2016. Why should it surprise anyone that the NSGOP would seek and accept foreign aid to win an election? Their recent history is replete with that. And they call themselves patriots…
