Among the allegations:

• Pruitt declined to use State Department-approved overseas hotels that already had security in place, preferring more expensive hotels with higher security costs.

• Pruitt requested aides to schedule official business in cities he wanted to visit.

• Pruitt directed staffers booking his travel on Delta to maximize his personal frequent flyer miles.

• Pruitt used the agency's scheduling director as a "personal real estate representative."

• Pruitt wanted staff to find reasons for him to visit his home state of Oklahoma.

• Pruitt spent more than the $5,000 allowed by law to decorate his office, including refinishing an antique desk, buying a standing desk and paying leases for art on loan from the Smithsonian.

Republicans really do not care about optics as long as the person in power is pushing their agenda.

The love it so much they didn't even agree on a safe word before it started.
safe phrase... 'I No Longer Love Trump'. They'll let Pruitt kill them before uttering such words.

Come on now, you know how they play their games. Sure, if you're super dumb you can convince yourself Pruitt will look out for you, rendering the safety phrase unnecessary therefore it doesn't matter what the phrase is.

They're all raw dogging it and their base ignores the STD. They call the look having a glow. We call it a glistening, pustuous, oozing, festering mess. It has an odor too. Good Lord is their sense of smell poor!

every business traveler does these things:

• Pruitt requested aides to schedule official business in cities he wanted to visit.
• Pruitt directed staffers booking his travel on Delta to maximize his personal frequent flyer miles.
• Pruitt wanted staff to find reasons for him to visit his home state of Oklahoma.

kinda crappy to do these things though:
• Pruitt declined to use State Department-approved overseas hotels that already had security in place, preferring more expensive hotels with higher security costs.
• Pruitt used the agency's scheduling director as a "personal real estate representative."

meh about this one
• Pruitt spent more than the $5,000 allowed by law to decorate his office, including refinishing an antique desk, buying a standing desk and paying leases for art on loan from the Smithsonian.
