Scott Pruitt can he get any more weird?

[esquared]

Just saw on CNN, Pruitt directly asked Trump to fire Sessions and give him the job.

I guess they do eat their own.

We have this one in here yet?

Pruitt made his young staffers book his travels on their own personal credit cards, then didn't pay them back.

In one instance, according to former deputy chief of staff Kevin Chmielewski, [then-executive scheduler Sydney] Hupp was stuck with a bill of roughly $600 for a booking she had made for the administrator’s family during the transition. Chmielewski said in an interview last month that he was in Jackson’s office when Hupp approached Pruitt’s chief of staff to explain that the period for transition reimbursements had expired and that Pruitt had not covered the bill.

The incident, aspects of which were first reported in the Hill newspaper, prompted Jackson to leave $600 in cash in Hupp’s drawer.

For a 3rd time.....

Scott Pruitt alone in 18 months has exceed the corruption level of the entire Obama administration of 8 years.

Is this the storm?

 

[UNCjigga]

He gone!

I guess it just goes to show that confronting swamp creatures and Congress critters in restaurants can actually work!

Next up:
Betsy DeVos
Ben Carson
Kirstjen Nielsen
Ryan Zinke
Wilbur Ross

Get in their faces, John and Joan Q. Public!

Probably hogging too much media attention for the Orange One's liking.

Report just coming in...Pruitt resigning.

 

[Jhhnn]

I'm not expecting his replacement to be any less a scumbag. It's the GOP, remember?

 

[MomentsofSanity]

What a sad joke that after all this he resigns. He should have been fired long ago.

I'd bet anything he was canned.

I guess the answer to how many different scandals and investigations a hilariously petty corrupt cabinet member can withstand before getting sacked is know known: about 20.

Ding dong the witch is dead, the wicked witch is dead.

Ding dong the witch is dead, the wicked witch is dead.

Lol. Great minds and all that.

However in that story the Wicked Witch of the East was replaced by the worse Wicked Witch of the West.....

 

[IronWing]

I noticed that Zinke got his ass out of the spotlight about a month ago. His spidey sense must be better than Pruitt's.

 

[vi edit]

Dem's just need to make up a commercial showing Trump and an org chart below him.

Starts with Trump saying " I'll bring in the best people!"
Then just start down the list.

Manafort - Campaign manager in jail and facing 50 years for conspiracy against his country.

"I'll bring in the best people!"

Flynn - national security adviser - plead guilty to lying to the FBI

"I"ll bring in the best people!"

Price - resigned after being caught costing the taxpayers tens of thousands in unapproved travel costs.

"I'll bring in the best people!"

Pruitt - resigned under the weight of more than a dozen scandals.

"I'll bring in the best people!"

Rob Porter - Resigned after domestic abuse reports surfaced.

Ends with - YOU DESERVE BETTER THAN THE BEST.

Glad he took that woman's advice from the restuarant, now watch Trump find someone just as bad or worse to replace him.

I thought the number 2 at the agency had a reputation for being just as anti EPA as Pruitt. So the reality of what is happening at the EPA won't change.

One at a time............. Trump is making America great again with each removal.

 

[soundforbjt]

Sessions & Mueller should now start worrying, Pruitt is ready to take his job.

Andrew Wheeler is an ex coal lobbyist and used to work for Sen. Inhofe (of snowball as proof of climate change being a hoax fame). So yeah. About the only good the Pruitt scandals did these people was to partially distract from their actual policy actions...which will surely be getting a lot more scrutiny now.

“People are saying” the final nail in Pruitt’s coffin was Laura Ingram turning on him and saying this corruption should not be tolerated (not exact quote) earlier in the week.

He can't get more unemployed now, which is great.

Grats to Dump voters finally getting a clue about Pruitt; it only took lots of embarrassment and more than a year of contrary nonsense for you guys take notice. But please, do keep bleating about your swamp.

Bet you he takes a run at the governorship in Oklahoma in 2022 or 26.

You think they have a clue about Pruitt??? Go read the comments on any conservative site. They live in a different world. He resigned because of Maxine Waters and a woman calmly confronting him at a restaurant.
