Guess Who...."Rapes Are Less Difficult In The Dark"

[Me.]

“Secretary of Energy Rick Perry said on Thursday that bringing fossil fuels to the developing world will prevent sexual assaults because rapes are less difficult in the dark.

The Hill said that Perry was addressing a morning panel discussion hosted by Axios.com founder Jim VandeHei and MSNBC’s Chuck Todd when he made the remarks in reference to a recent trip to Africa.

Perry — the former Republican governor of Texas and erstwhile presidential candidate — told Todd and VandeHei that a young girl he met in a remote African village uses a fire that emanates toxic smoke to read by.

“But also from the standpoint of sexual assault,” Perry said. “When the lights are on, when you have light that shines the righteousness, if you will, on those types of acts.”

6. The Best Of The Best

“●Christopher Hagan, a confidential assistant at the Agriculture Department. Before working on the Trump campaign, he was, between 2009 and 2015, a “cabana attendant” at Westchester Country Club in Rye, N.Y. According to his résumé, he “identified and addressed customer’s needs in a timely and orderly manner.”

Sid Bowdidge, assistant to the secretary of energy for energy efficiency and renewable energy. Before working for the Trump campaign, Bowdidge, from 2013 to 2015, was manager of the Meineke Car Care branch in Seabrook, N.H. He previously was service and branch manager for tire shops.

●Victoria Barton, congressional relations for Regions II, V and VI, Department of Housing and Urban Development. Prior to working for the Trump campaign, Barton was an office manager and, between 2013 and 2015, a “bartender/bar manager.”

●David Matthews, yet another confidential assistant at the Agriculture Department, developed scented candles while also serving as a “legal receptionist” before joining the Trump campaign.”

7. He is seriously demented

[marylandblue]

8. Does this apply to all rapes or just legitimate ones?

[central scrutinizer]

14. When an idiot almost has a good point, then confirms he is just an idiot.

Yes, women will be more safe in areas with sound electric grids with the ability to build public infrastructure off of them. Selling fossil fuels like this is messed up.

21. The stupidest part is that fossil fuels aren't the only source of light,

and they certainly are not sustainable, locally or otherwise.

22. So many better ways to do it in almost all areas of the world. nt.

15. Is he speaking from personal experience?

[gratuitous]

17. Dammit, you women!

If you're not going out in public with your vaginas or wearing something provocative or minding your own business or not giving some cat-calling doofus the time of day, now you're not bathed in 300-watt light at all times. It's no wonder all those innocent rapists can't help themselves. When, oh when, will you at last take responsibility for getting raped?

Secretary Perry: The glasses, they do nothing!

[mythology]

19. I would again like to lament that Texas went from Ann Richards to the last three asshats

Someday Republicans will learn to stop talking about rape. Apparently that isn't today.

And rape will stop when rapists stop raping.
