Pruitt is a corrupt lackey of the fossil fuel industry and a climate science denier seeking to destroy our environment. His abuse of travel is the least of his transgressions.

There isn’t a probe big enough to probe Frackin’ Pruitt, unless someone can come up with a rusty, jagged speculum.

Some have called it a “suicide pact”. A phrase a little too on the nose for comfort with this “calm before the storm” nonsense. I mean, what the hell is this, Jonestown? And, um, I want it clear I haven’t signed up for that.

Rawstory has a feature claiming that Tillerson “f*****g hates” Nikki Haley. That sounds (at least to me) like the White House is trying to further denigrate and isolate Tillerson so he will quit or they can justify firing him.

I hope after it’s install some jokester changes the lock so he can be held incommunicado.

Pruitt just tapped a coal lobbyist to be his deputy. They’re not even bothering to put on their kabuki make-up anymore.

He’s waiting until next year so he doesn’t take a haircut on his taxes - you have to have a full year of government service for the exemption to kick in.

There is talk of CIA Director Mike Pompeo replacing Tillie, and why not. He can’t wait to have access to expensive travel. BTW Tillie would be the 23rd person to either quit or resign this badministration in the less than 300 miserable days it’s been in existence. Five people left the Obama administration in the same amount of time.

The mission and the goal of all the cabinet secretaries and nearly everyone in this corrupt administration is to undercut and destroy anything that ever came into being or was enacted under President Obama. Today we heard of birth control coverage being rolled back, we’ve heard of PP getting out of the Iran deal and leaving it to Congress to make a decision, we’ll always have environmental degradation under Pursuit so from their standpoint, these individuals would say they’re succeeding beyond their wildest dreams. Fire Pruitt? Never happen. Tillie probably.

We wanna add Harvey Weinstein to this group who’s been known to act like a feminist and a friend to women’s causes, but scratch some of the adipose, you’ll find Roger Ailes.

I suspect that is precisely where they will be going. Pruitt has been sending out much bigger red flags than even Price did. Once they start doing some surface digging, they are going to uncover a lot more malfeasance.

More specifically, Tillerson’s heading out the door because he committed the cardinal sin…he didn’t show fealty to Trump 7x24. Hell, he outright insulted him.

Price’s problem was similar to Tillerson’s, without the outright show of disrespect. He failed to get Trump a victory. Which instantly made him a cuck. Remember, Trump publicly said he would fire him if he didn’t get Obamcare repealed. The travel thing just gave him an easy excuse.

But its never about the actual misuse of taxpayer’s money. Its about not delivering to Trump on bended knee.

No one in this administration cares about taxpayer money that’s being spent by Cabinet secretaries. It is about loyalty to the most disloyal public servant who’s ever posed as a president.

I think that’s about right. The decision was made during the summer, Tillerson has been going through the motions even more than usual since. That’s what that “two week leave of absence/vacation” was all about. Doing due diligence to plan out the correct time to leave.

Cost of brain bleach, gratis. Cost of scotch to get this out of my mind, $24.99 (lucky for you Spec’s is having a sale).

2/10, net 30. Please remit.

legal challenges are slowing down the march to roll back the Obama legacy. And it could complicate other even higher profile pushes to repeal rules, like the Clean Power Plan — intended to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from electric power plants, a move that will generate another wave of legal challenges that will build off arguments made in recent cases.

He wants to be protected from the likes of environmental activists like Tre Arrow until he can get safely back to Tulsa to run either for Oklahoma Goobernor or to replace Senator “snowball” Inhofe.

Outside of Pokiehoma he knows he’s physically at risk.
