Energy Secretary Rick Perry Says He's Not Resigning

“I’m here, I’m serving,” Perry said, according to Reuters.

“They’ve been writing the story for at least nine months now,” he continued. “One of these days they will probably get it right, but it’s not today, it’s not tomorrow, it’s not next month.”

Politico reported last week that Perry was headed for the exit amid scrutiny over his possible role in President Donald Trump’s Ukraine scandal.

We'd prematurely given you credit for a flash of intelligence, but by not resigning you're proving that you're just as dumb as we thought you were. Anybody who doesn't climb out of that cesspool of an administration is a damn fool.

And that somebody is terminally stupid enough to think it will save his dumb ass, despite already having been thrown under the bus once already.
