That goddamn, son of a bitch and his lackeys cost me my job and my career. which ruined me financially and otherwise. I hope he rots in hell after a slow, agonizing death. Fucking fucker. I pity anyone who works for DOE or one of its science-related contractors, because all y'all are going to meet the same fate I did under this imbecile, Perry.

Am having to reconstruct them all, but then probably won't need them when he and the rest of the DRUMPF Junta finish us off.

In a 2012 Republican primary presidential debate Rick Perry couldn't remember the 3rd of the three federal departments he vowed to eliminate (hint: it was the Department of Energy).

if DT is intentionally filling his cabinet with the dumbest and least-qualified people he can find.

Besides, they all owe him now, and both sides know it.

But I don't see why he needs a cabinet in the first place. He's already assured the country that he knows more than the generals, and more than the CIA. He founded a university, so he's obviously got education covered. He knows everything about commerce, since he made it big after starting with only a few million from daddy. He easily deals with leaders from all countries (or at least the important ones who say nice things about him), so he doesn't really need a State Department. He knows that the best way to deal with financial and economic matters is to just refuse to pay if the country finds itself overextended. He knows who's guilty and who's innocent (like he did with the "Central Park Five&quot , so there's no need for a Department of Justice or an AG. And he can easily tweet the nation's enemies into submission, saving a lot of money in troops and armaments. Whatta man.

So the question probably isn't as much "are these people qualified?" as much as it is "are they a good fluffer?"

Or at least switched to something respectable, like bananas.
