You look at his resume, he has the credentials that he should be what you're looking for in a Republican administration - successful business executive in an industry that should mean he has lots of experience

Oddly enough the person in the administration who comes out looking the best is Rick loving Perry. Because he's just stayed quiet listened to the career people, and is just doing his job.

If you have so much poo poo to say that you need more than two, maybe three tweets, write a loving blog and include the link. People can click that if they really care. Hint: they probably don't.

"rear end in a top hat" or "idiot" are fine alternatives if you want to insult someone. rear end in a top hat or idiot sometimes just lack the imagery good insults have and most good insults have at least some form of sexual reference that could be taken as gender-based or sexuality-based, though whore is also bland and bad as well so there's no reason you'd ever go with such a bad insult besides misogony what i'm saying is we need our colleges and universities to work on the new intellectual pursuit of this century, more and better insults

I dunno, I respect someone who going in wanted to gut the department they were put over. But once he got in realized how loving important it is and actually changed his mind on it. Meanwhile Betsy Devos and Ben Barson are completely gutting their departments. I don't agree with just about anything he stands for, but considering it seems like he's taking it seriously and doing the job right I am willing to give him at least some respect compared to everything else going on in government.

Like seriously http://time.com/4810418/rick-perry-china-clean-energy/ quote:Those are three areas that I think we have extraordinary opportunities to be partners to work on clean energy issues," Perry said. ... An official readout of the meeting later distributed to journalists cited Perry as also mentioning renewables — essentially wind and solar power — as another area of "mutual interest" to both countries. That's Rick loving Perry.

Like dick Cheney convinced the president to go to war under false pretenses, destabilizing an entire region and killing over a million innocent Iraqis, and he used his former company to do it. They were so corrupt they couldn't even build a shower that wouldn't electrocute soldiers. They created a massive private army and made its owner so wealthy he was able to buy his way out of treason charges. Bush believed the war was fulfilling biblical prophecies. And for kicks they institutionalized torture and crashed the world economy.

evilweasel posted:I doubt it. There was nothing actually devastating in the DNC emails. Nothing career-ending or the like - just enough to stoke the paranoia of berniebros who believed they'd been robbed and to keep the word "email" in the news against hillary EMAILS EMAILS EMAILS clinton. I'm sure they'd rather they not come out as they'd be annoying, but I'd doubt there's something blackmailable in there enough to control people. I don't know, I imagine there's some pretty disparaging remarks against Trump and his antics that would be enough to drive a wedge through the Trump supporters and King Cheeto. He's pretty thin skinned. Also, I'm sure they knew all about his ties to Russia and wouldn't be surprised if that wasn't in the GOP emails as well.

That's the coward's way, like hoping a girl breaks up with you because you're too afraid to do it yourself, or ignoring some major medical problem because you're afraid of what it might be and not knowing means it isn't happening. So yeah that sounds about right.

He's not the right person. But he wouldn't be the first person to be over promoted outside of his skill level. But that can work if the person is willing to listen to the people around them that do know what they are doing rather than going full bluster.

I think it's more that a guy from Texas has not one bit of loyalty to coal, which competes with his state's oil and natural gas. Renewable energy mostly threatens coal, not oil and gas (and Texas has plenty of room for solar/wind plants).

Your argument is not incorrect, it's just atemporal. If you told Trump that he'd get paid $100 for every American Soldier that died in combat, he'd start spinning up the meat grinders stat.
