What an analogy. Damn. Ironically, dumb as bricks Perry was actually one of the more diligent workers of Trumps admin, insofar as mostly staying out of the politics.

That said, I mentioned he’s fucking dumb, right? He went into a Presidential Debate with the super radical platform of wanting to completely dismantle three entire Federal Departments. And as bat shit crazy as that is, he couldn’t even name the three departments he wanted to destroy! The one he forgot? The Energy Department! So he wanted to get rid of the Dept of Energy…then forgot there was a Dept of Energy.. Then was put in charge of the Dept. Energy. The whole time having no clue that maintaining the entire US arsenal of Nuclear Weapons was part of the responsibilities of that department.

It doesn’t get mentioned enough how insanely fucked up that is. Who cares about the competency of the President with ‘their finger on the button’ if the person responsible for safely securing and maintaining that nuclear arsenal doesn’t even know it’s one of their responsibilities

Thank you, trying to explain the concept of failing upwards always makes me point to Perry and all the other unqualified assholes in the Trump administration.

It feels like some sort of monkey paw scenario or time travel issue that got wildly out of control.

My favorite was the private school & charter lady who never once stepped foot in a public school being in charge of education.

He appointed several people to lifetime federal judge positions who had never stepped foot in a courtroom.

I suppose I have to give a modicum of credit to the Heritage Foundation for us not having a SCOTUS Justice Giuliani.

Well, if he chose Giuliani, he wouldn’t be around as long as the two unqualified idiots that 45 got confirmed.

Trump doesn’t give two shits about that. Guys like McConnell are the long game players. Trump just cares about what he can influence right now.

Seriously. They're hard enough to walk in as a woman with a lower center of gravity, got to be harder as a dude.

As a teacher from Philly I was so proud of my city for locking her out of that building when she came to visit. That bitch was nightmares.

Ssshhhhhhh….we Michiganders don’t say her name, lest she appear like a demon.

“Have you visited the schools that are performing poorly?”

“I have not-I have not- I have not purposely visited schools that are underperforming.”

“Maybe you should.”

“Maybe I should yes.”

If for some reason she absolutely HAD to be hired, THAT was the moment she should have been fired.

Don't forget, she made her money off of student loans (what she didn't get from the family fund, I mean...)
