Rick Perry Might Lead The Agency That Caused His Oops Moment

Donald Trump has tapped former Texas Governor Rick Perry to head the Department of Energy, the very agency that Rick Perry couldn’t recall during a 2012 presidential debate, creating one of the biggest campaign gaffes of the last 10 years. The Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins discusses this.

And all the nation's nuclear labs where such materials are stored. I know. I worked at one in the 70's.

Obama's two Energy Secretaries were both physicists. One earned himself a Nobel prize.

Drumpf appoints a fucking brain dead idiot who does not understand what the DOE does, and wants to fucking eliminate it!!!!!

Are they donors? Butt-kissers? Trump's made no bones he's all about the pay-to-play rewards system of Be Nice To Me And I'll Be Nice To You. He sure as hell wouldn't want to surround himself with people who knew how to do their jobs, cuz they'd just keep showin' him up.
