The only reason Pruitt needs that level of to privacy is because he’s doing hateful things that most of us will violently disapprove of.

“EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt’s construction of a $24,570 ‘privacy booth’ in his office.”

I understand Roy Moore had a “privacy booth” in his basement.

So a member of an agency Pruitt runs is going to be investigating his TARDIS?

Yeah, I’m positive they’ll get to the bottom of it.

The inspector general of the Environmental Protection Agency will inspect EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt’s construction of a $24,570 “privacy booth” in his office, the IG said in a letter published Tuesday.

You'd think the booth could be at least revenue neutral. If memory serves you have to keep feeding those things quarters or Bob behind the counter chases you away.

Something like this “privacy pit”?

What gets me isn’t the booth - although that’s laughably ridiculous - it’s that the IG’s office doesn’t have enough money or people to investigate all the other shit he’s done since JANUARY!

Add onto that the IG investigations of all the Trumpian appointees’ departments and you’ve got plenty of evidence that they are from top to bottom monetizing their government positions, or at least living high on the hog off taxpayer money. So much for lean and mean government.

In a hearing last week, Pruitt confirmed that he’d constructed a SCIF in his office for conversations of classified information and for “secure conversations that need to take place,”

They don’t want to be overheard discussing the appropriate amount for lobbyists to pay for favorable determinations. It would affect the competitive bidding process in the free market of political graft.

Pruitt you know that what you just spent on a stupid booth is what one in ten working Americans make in a year?

What other Pruitt expenses are there to bite him in the ass with? When do we get to investigate Zinke’s air and horse rides?

Ooo, I like the word “bint” - sounds vaguely dirty but I have no idea what it means!

I don’t give a shit how much it cost and whether he had authority to spend the money. I want the call log and records. I want to know who he talked to in this booth, when he talked to them, and the general topic of the conversation. I want the why, not the how or the whether. That’s where the real corruption lies.

Pruitt could have avoided all this had he simply installed a commode and referred to it as an executive washroom.

It’s an old and dirty word. Pretty much takes the place of the c word that I don’t mind using but other people mind seeing.
