What is Pruitt afraid of? It’s not like tree-hugging hippies are going to hurt him, they don’t like guns.

Yeah but those monkeywrenchers, they’re not so peace-loving. They might cut off the head of a Hummer and put it in his bed and he’d wake up and get all askeered.

Perrotta operates a private security company on the side and was Pruitt’s pick to the lead the detail.

I wonder what Perrotta pays as a referral fee for a multi-million dollar security detail contract.

The exorbitant security costs are because he is SUCH an ahole and he spreads discord wherever he goes. He’s worried sick there is at least ONE person out there that will flip! There’s a ā€˜cure’ for that Scottie!

It’s good that the Dems are building a paper trail for future investigations or trials because the GOP senators aren’t gonna do jack about Pruitt. Barasso has already given Pruitt a clean bill of health, apparently.

I think these Pubbies have already figured out that it’s too late to back away from Trump and his minions and they are hoping to somehow survive in their rural states because guns, Jesus, real America, and white grievances. Either that or they are prepared to fully participate in full on authoritarian proto-fascist takeover.

If they just believe hard enough, they are hoping that the wax on their wings won’t melt due to their proximity to the Sun King. They’ll just glide on in to that permanent conservative majority utopia promised by their Profit, Turdblossom.

Saw that and it explains some of the Snowflakes behavior. While he has the opportunity, since he’s ā€œthereā€ already, might as well take care of one of his supporters, who will, doubtless, in return take care of Pruitt’s bank account.

That’s the thing about the modern Republican, they never, ever, ever, stop grifting and grasping. And swear they’re all religious and everything despite evidencing no behaviors to support said religiosity.

A pox on them all.

He has an grossly inflated sense of self. He think everyone is looking at him. I guess he should fear the armed drone.

But the 5ft 8in Pruitt needs the highest level of protection as he destroys the planet. It’s not like he’s a low-profile target like 5ft 4in Jeff Sessions, who is only destroying the rule of law.

Those are F-104 wings to be sure (from an earlier discussion)

Anyone watching the Facebook hearing? I don’t know if I can get into it as I don’t use Facebook and find Zuckerberg a total schmuck and putz. In his opening statement I thought he was giving his D’var Torah to the congregation, like he was reliving a rite of passage. For anyone here that might know what that is, he’s a scheming phony. He’s no innocent. He’s an irresponsible, greedy little shithead imo, that never thought privacy was much of any of his concern. I’m not so sure he believes its any different now just because he’s been caught with his tuches in a vise. He’s also an arrogant piece of work.

He’s seriously paranoid, has a grossly inflated view of his own importance, and is reliably dickish in his behavior.

He’s afraid of everyone who doesn’t love him, which is pretty much the whole country.

I think the top aide/lawyer, who was paid but didn’t show up at work for 3 months, but who went on the Morocco trip (with the layover and missed flight/extra day in Paris) is attached to the straw that will eventually do the job. Oh - and I don’t think his wife was on the Morocco trip, nor does she live in DC. Just thinking out loud…

Ya, those Patriot Farmers who won’t mind losing their farms due to drops in prices due to Trump’s Trade wars, they will for sure stick with their senators. Sorta like the teachers who didn’t get a raise for 10 years while the state was bathing in oil/fracking and giving out tax cuts.

The billionaire has mentioned his fucking dorm room 3 times in 15 minutes already. Fuck Zuckerberg. Regulate the shithead and his company. Enough with trying to appeal to his sense of fairness and propriety. He has none. He only cares now about his stock prices. Innovation for him is dead. He’s just gliding on his notoriety now. Dorm room again…fourth time! Good Lord.

Thanks for watching/sharing. I can’t. Both because I have to get back to work, but also because I just can’t make myself.

He really is tone deaf to the problems his platform has created and continues to enable. He seems intent in trying to obfuscate his responsibility with how creative his platform was years ago when he stole it from others in his dorm room to create a nice living for himself. Yeah, that’s right. I saw The Social Network.

He has no problem offering authoritarian regimes censorship in order to get their business, but is unwilling to do shit in this country to protect American users…primarily because it would cost him money if he told the fucking truth.
