Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R) signaled Friday that she would be honored to serve in President Trump’s second administration but admitted she hasn’t been reached out to.

“I thought that there would be a position in Energy in that Department because that’s my baby is wanting energy independence for America. You know, that’s all about security and sovereignty of our nation is to be energy independent,” she said Friday in an interview with NewsNation’s Leland Vittert. “But that hasn’t happened.”

Palin, who ran for vice president alongside the late Sen. John McCain in the 2008 presidential election, argued there are “gatekeepers” in the administration — pointing to her inability to receive credentials to attend the 2024 Republican National Convention last July.

“I didn’t even get credentials to attend the GOP convention, if you can believe it. I mean, wow, they’re tight,” she said, adding, “And I’m the only living Republican nominee who had run for VP or president who supported Trump. And even I couldn’t get in.” “So, you know, yeah, they’re pretty tight … but I’d love to serve,” the former GOP governor told NewsNation’s “On Balance” anchor.

Think maybe that is a hint?

[rampartd]

1. oh perfect. that is all we need. n/t

[NotHardly]

63. F&ck Palin, their all clown show all the time.

[Initech]

2. I have the same reaction as Michael Scott:

[badhair77]

3. Oh sure, come on in.

Leave no stone unturned. We need you to come crawling out from under that rock and bring your own brand of incompetence.

[jls4561]

4. Perhaps Drumph can appoint her special envoy for fancy pageant walking at his newly

corrupted Kennedy Center.

[tanyev]

5. Whee doggie! She's still finding people willing to interview her?

Huh.

[cloudbase]

6. If she were offered the position of Oval Office fluffer, she'd take it.

Boebert might get a tad jealous, though.

[DinahMoeHum]

7. Yeah, well there IS a position for her. . .

Prone.

or missionary

[JoseBalow]

12. "She was buns-up kneeling..."

Buns up!

[ratchiweenie]

59. You realize that is very nasty sexism. Let's not go there even if it is Palin. Please.

[sheshe2]

8. lol

[milestogo]

9. She could be ambassador to Alaska.

[JoseBalow]

10. Irrelevant has-been is thirsty asf!

Begging like a pathetic lap dog without a home

[catchnrelease]

11. Another grifter

Running to jump on the con artist gravy train.

[livetohike]

13. Sarah Palin who? She doesn't hold a candle to the craziness of MTG

and Boebert. Also, The Felon likes them younger.

[DENVERPOPS]

61. Actually

they are not younger......look at his gaggle of recent hags.......Almost all are "has beens", far from young, they all look like they have been ridden hard and put away wet. They aspire to make a come back, go out and get a TON of plastic surgery, including a "Republican Rack" and try to slime their way back into public light.

Boebert, MTG, Bondi, Noem, that broad from Arizona, the "Conway" twat that was always near him and defending him during his first occupation, I can't even remember all the names of them,........ the list is endless.

[jmowreader]

14. In other words...

"I need a job and Wendy's won't hire me, so I'm going to work for Trump."

The sad thing is, she wouldn't be the most disastrous addition to Trump's crew. It's going to take a whole lot to beat out RFK Jr and Musk for that title. She also wouldn't be benign...it's not like she understands how the petroleum industry really works.

Helpful hint: A refinery can't refine any oil presented to it. Because there are many kinds of crude oil with different boiling points and composition, you have to design your systems to work with a specific kind of oil. This is copied directly from the American Fuel and Petrochemical Manufacturers' website:

Re-tooling refineries to process solely U.S. crude oil (light crude) would cost billions — a risky investment that would take decades to permit, construct and eventually pay off. We lack the infrastructure (like pipelines) needed to cost effectively supply U.S crude oil and refined products to every region. Even if the economics of re-tooling our facilities worked, it can take close to a decade to permit and build pipelines in the United States.

Instead, the way the system is designed is to export US crude oil to nations that have the right refineries for it, and to import crudes that our refineries can process. And just so you know, more crude oil goes out of the US than comes into it.

15. Death Eaters...

"The Death Eaters, also previously known as the Knights of Walpurgis,[13] were the main followers of Lord Voldemort. The group primarily consisted of witches and wizards who were radical pure-blood supremacists and who practised the Dark Arts with reckless abandon, malevolence, and without regard to or fear of wizarding law, although some of them joined him out of fear or were blackmailed to do so.[1]"

"They were a motley collection; a mixture of the weak seeking protection, the ambitious seeking some shared glory, and the thuggish gravitating toward a leader who could show them more refined forms of cruelty."

[twodogsbarking]

16. Has she learned to walk upright?

[lastlib]

41. No, still dragging her knuckles......

But she DID get rid of the low bony brow.....

Sparklemoose never ceases to amaze with her special kind of stupidity.

[lonely bird]

17. Hmmm

Well, she is either too stupid for them or too smart for them. Either way fuck Trump’s entire administration, Palin and the entire Republican Party.

[Bengus81]

18. YAWN...another Republican that always bitching about how we need smaller Guberment

Yet always wants to be IN Government because of the pay and perks. Pfffttt....go ride around on your "snow machine" or shoot some wolves out of a helicopter like the good ole' days.

[IzzaNuDay]

19. Oh Sarah, isn't a village missing an idiot?

Sarah should go there now. Her welcome into government has long wore out now!

[LisaL]

20. Yes, that's all we needed for a full hapiness.

[rurallib]

21. That headline made me laugh out loud - thanks

good old word salad Annie - always good for a laugh

[kacekwl]

22. Perfect cherry on top

of the nutcase sundae.

[Jarqui]

23. Sarah is dumb enough to fit right in ... nt

[Rebl2]

24. She would

hog the limelight. Trump can’t stand that, although musk is hogging it right now.

[graycampervan]

25. Door

Mark still there Sara?

[leftieNanner]

26. She hasn't yet learned

That the Energy department doesn't deal with oil and gas.

SMDH

[Diamond_Dog]

27. In other words

She can’t come up with a big enough sack of cash.

[OAITW r.2.0]

28. Of course she is.

Makes total sense.

[taxi]

29. When a potential employer says that you are over-qualified for idiot work it may not be a compliment.

But then again, this current administration seems to have a knack for hiring overqualified idiots. Stay near your phone.

[Norrrm]

30. Ambassador to the country of Africa.

[underpants]

31. What door? Did anyone even suggest an invitation?

Pathetic

[marble falls]

32. Isn't she a great grandmother yet? I'm surprised she hasn'r run for Governor, Rep or Sen.

[wishstar]

50. She ran for Congress in 2022, was defeated by Dem Mary Peltola

She lost even though she had the cult leader's support. Losing probably has something to do with her being left out in the cold.

[marble falls]

55. It's a good thing when a little reality lends itself to a dingbat.

[mdbl]

33. She might as well join the circus

Last edited Sun Feb 16, 2025, 11:40 AM - Edit history (1)

I'm sure the magat ring leaders would love to have her. They are hiring clowns right now.

[CountAllVotes]

34. ugh

[Aristus]

67. She can be the Secretary of Substandard Elective Surgery.

She’s certainly experienced in that field.

[Lulu KC]

35. I knew there was something missing in the Pantheon of Dangerous Crazy People

Let's see--who else is out there? Can't we bring Dan Quayle in to bring a higher intellect?

[FakeNoose]

36. Give up Sarah, if they haven't called by now ...

... it's not gonna happen.

[Turbineguy]

37. They are not incompetent enough without her?

[GoYouPackersGo]

38. I see her spoken English has not improved...

but then Caribou Barbie ain't much for book learnin' and you can't, as they say, fix stupid.

[Montauk6]

39. So are a ton of Black Conservatives, what's her point?

[johnnyfins]

40. Im surprised. She's another fake christian

Fuck like the rest of em. Would fit in well. Maybe Kristi Noem is jealous...

[niyad]

42. who?

[JohnnyRingo]

43. I love this book about Sarah Palin.

It's kind of trashy, just like her, but there's a happy ending.

[LudwigPastorius]

44. Sure, why not?

[sakabatou]

45. Does she STILL see Russia from her home?

[Evolve Dammit]

49. You betcha!

[Hekate]

46. Still talking in word salad

Some things don’t change

[nilram]

47. There will be a pause for the crowd to say, "so what."

But in point of fact, having been a governor, she might have too much experience for them. Probably more competence than they do (note: I'm not saying much there).

[Dulcinea]

48. Her 15 minutes were up a long time ago.

Everyone knows that but her. Bless her heart, as they say in the South.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

51. Sorry, Sarah, in this administration you are overqualified for every position. nt

[yourout]

52. I'm sure if she got on her knees and kissed...

The ring or something else they would take her back.

[BidenRocks]

53. But she's been practicin'

Her Fancy Pagaent Walkin'!
These people never go away!
Some should get 10 to 20.
Just make their voices disappear.

[Bengus81]

58. Yep....she's been getting all mavericky!

[FSogol]

54. "Pay attention to meeeeeee", she yelled!

[Paladin]

56. Remember what an absolute FREAK we used to think she was?

And yet she wouldn't even stand out in the group of sickos, malcontents, haters, and incompetents that trump has assembled.

To me, this is the clearest indication yet of how far we've fallen as a nation, and just what Godawful trouble we're facing. Way past time for Democrats to get busy---we've got a bunch of reclamation work to do...

[BumRushDaShow]

57. Her and

batshit crazy Bachmann!



We have definitely fallen through the trap door to the lower levels!

[RussellCattle]

65. Why this wasn't the photo of the year I'll never understand.

[Richard_GB]

60. Trump has successfully

made Palin look good. Quiet an achievement.

[ificandream]

62. Keeping door open? She'd fly through hoops if they offered her a chance.

Hopefully they won't. But she would only add to the clowns in this admin.

[colorado_ufo]

64. Needy much?

How humiliating, even for her. Girl, get a glimmer of self-respect.

[patphil]

66. Sara Palin - desparately seeking relevance.

Sounds like the GOP doesn't feel she deserves to be at their convention, and that's a pretty low bar to jump over.
