Of all the shit-weasels that PE Trump has picked for cabinet positions, the one that almost made me spit-take my coffee was … Rick Perry, former Governor of America’s worst state, as Secretary of Energy. Jesus Wept.
Reading Rick Perry, who infamously forgot the existence of the Dept. of Energy, is Trump’s pick to lead it. You can’t make this crap up.

We knew it was going to be bad. We KNEW it, but, holy shit, every day provides another reason to worry about my children’s future … hell, I’m worried about my own, too. My dad is 80 years old, my mom is almost that old. I know I won’t live that long, but, even if I’m here for another 10 years, this colossal “Fuck You” by Baby Boomers, White racists, and voluntary dipshits is going to make the remaining years of my life a constant and bloody fight to survive, both financially, and physically.
Let’s explore some more of the stepping stones to the end of our republic, shall we? Today, we’ll start with Secretary of State:
Tillerson … Rex Tillerson is the CEO of Exxon Mobile, the giant oil conglomerate that still hates Alaska. The dude has insanely close ties to Russia, Russian government, Russian oil, and, of course, Russian Vladimir Putin.
From The HILL:
According to the Wall Street Journal, Tillerson negotiated an energy partnership with Putin in 2011 that the Russian president said could be worth $500 billion.
The following year, Tillerson received the Russian Order of Friendship, one of the highest awards the country bestows upon foreign nationals.
Reuters reported earlier this year that the Exxon Mobil deal with Russia had been put on hold due to sanctions levied against the Kremlin for its annexation of Crimea in 2014. The company has said it intends to resume the deal after sanctions are lifted — a process that Tillerson could help expedite as secretary of State.
Think about that for a moment. Just let it roll around your head and fester. Over the next few days, I’ll do a few more of these cabinet post abominations, but this one is dealing with foreign policy, wrapped in the warm embrace of the shadow KGB operative Putin, and pointed, in a way that Halliburton could only dream of, toward driving insane profit to a corporation, on the backs of human rights violations, murder, and a lust for real estate that rivals the Third Reich. It’s insane, BUT, it gets worse.
NBC’s Andrea Mitchell said that two sources informed her that Tillerson’s selection is planned to be announced sometime next week. She also reported that former Ambassador to the U.N. John Bolton, a neoconservative firebrand, would be tapped to be Tillerson’s deputy at State.
Remember that assclown? Yeah, we’re totally fucked.
