I thought he was insisting on first class air travel. Also wanted a $100,000 month allocation for private jet lease arrangement.

He is also demoting and reassigning anyone who challenges him. A member of his security detailed refused to run lights and sirens to get through rush hour traffic. Out he went. Apparently this has happened to a few senior people after challenging his spending.

He’s drunk with power and a sense of self importance.

He just got more weird
Funny thing is in MA his known lock out from his rental would bar him from renting the vast majority of properties. Landlords cannot make exceptions for some and no exceptions for others without facing a lawsuit.

It's funny -- virtually the entire Trump administration is corrupt to its core, but Pruitt takes it to another level. He's practically a flashing, neon I AM COMMITTING CRIMES sign. You don't orchestrate multiple searches for wiretaps if you think you're above-board.

That and I don't think I've ever seen someone so conspicuously... frightened of the public. He not only knows what he's doing is wrong, he knows he's wildly unpopular and that he rightly deserves to be excoriated and imprisoned. I half expect him to flee the country the millisecond the Democrats regain power.

And the most corrupt administration in history keeps increasing their lead.

More swampy everyday

I liked the requirement of 30 guards for a trip to Disney world at a cost of $3 million to taxpayers. It seems hard to imagine any of us will live to see another administration even remotely as corrupt as this one.

Remember when republicans pretended to care about corruption when it came to Hillary Clinton? I don’t really blame them for lying about it but I do blame people, especially the press, for pretending to believe them.

Well, flying in a tube filled with demons (fellow Americans) will interfere in communion with the Lord. The constant sweeping for bugs facilitates the Lord's work, obviously. And the soundproof booth is just so he can enjoy phone sex in privacy.

Yes he is either engaged in some fairly serious criminal activity or he is mentally ill. It’s hard to grasp how a sane person would think the EPA administrator required that level of security.

I feel compelled to watch his mannerisms, as if something about him sets off alarm bells, like a person experiencing some secret pleasure, I don't know from what but maybe describable as a person who can take satisfaction coming from the knowledge that the stink people are pretending not to notice in the air is because he delights in eating beans or rotten meat and squeezing out secret farts....smarmy, unctuous, untrustworthy at some subliminal level.

It's pretty much the same for all GOP politicos. It's surprising what a person can notice just by turning off the sound & watching the mannerisms.

You must have seen that psychologists in Nixon's time regarding his 'I'm not a crook speech, who cared for a bunch of people with a particular kind of brain disease that gave them a capacity to know what was behind the words of people but no understanding of what was actually being said. There was a TV on in the community room occupied by such a group of people and they began to display great agitation. When he asked them what was going on they told him the President is lying.

Yeah he wanted the 100k a month for netjets... this is the service that the ultrawealthy use to basically get a 'timeshare' of a commercial airplane. Insane waste of taxpayer funds so he can live high on the hog. These conservative fuckwits think they're kings and government serves THEM.

Considering how Pruitt is gutting out the EPA every which way he can with the same fervor that a lioness takes down and disembowels an impala, I really can't blame him for being as paranoid as he is. He is making a lot of enemies in his quest to do the bidding of those industries that are either continuing to pollute to their heart's content or for the ones whose profits are "stymied" by regulations that are actually needed to keep them from trashing the environment any more than they are. He is a hired hitman. He is a hatchet man with a very bloodied hatchet and he is using it like his life is depending on it. If I were him doing the damage he's doing, I'd want a security detail to hug me for the rest of my life.

Pruitt knows and understands that what he is doing is vile, is only possible due to the totally corrupt Trump administration repaying Pruitt's donor bosses in spades, is reviled by those many hunters who truly understand the ways of nature and their place in it, with environmentalists who actually witness how American industries are hurting the environment, with folks who drink water laden with lead and with folks who want their children and grandchildren to have a safe environment to live and work in well into the future.

Environmental Protection Agency? With Pruitt in charge it's more like Environmental Destruction Agency. The industry bigwigs who flout their influence and control over our politicians are thumbing their noses at us, that in one way or another have enabled them to do just that by having Trump and his totally corrupt administration do as they please without any penalty for their actions.

As Repubs are often very eager to profess, a unified gov't is a dangerous thing and that needs to be remedied by having the House and Senate get taken over by the Dems this coming November.

If Trump is still around to see this happen, I wonder who he's going to blame for the turnover?
