Rick Perry to be nominated for department he couldn’t remember he wanted to eliminate
Rick Perry’s “oops” moment came when he couldn’t remember that the Department of Energy was one of three he wanted to eliminate when he sought the Republican nomination in 2012. Now he is being named to head it.

On Monday, Perry attended a meeting at Trump Towers but didn’t take questions from reporters.
The Energy Department is the same federal agency Perry wanted to eliminate — and then forgot to name when asked which departments he would shut down.
“I will tell you, it is three agencies of government when I get there that are gone: Commerce, Education, and — what’s the third one there? Let’s see,” Perry said during a Republican presidential primary debate in November 2011.

It amazes me that the media hasn’t picked up on the purpose of all of Trumps picks. In his mind, he’s “draining the swamp”, he’s putting people who are ideologically opposed to the departments they will lead specifically to eliminate them. To drive them in the ground. The way it looks, all of them, including State and Defense are on the chopping block.
The reality of what he’s doing must be clearly shown and detailed before anyone can begin to make a defensive plan to stop it. The real news media simply must step up. The confirmation hearings for these traitors will be interesting. Watch for republican committee chairmen shut down questioning and close the hearings as much as possible to silence the critics.
With any luck, they will show all real Americans that Trump isn’t the only one who is a Putin Puppet, everyone with an R behind their name will be.
