Perhaps he has chronic flatulence (like Adolf Hitler) and the upgrade is to install a high-volume ventilation system…

The notable thing is the “cone of silence” was made up from cylinders and spheres!

Lets be real, the purchase cost may be $25,000, but with the labor hours in design and procurement, Mr. Paranoid will be spending more like $100K for his undisclosed secure booth.

I think it´s money well spent. It must get pretty noisy when Pruitt is servicing both Koch Brothers at the same time.

As long as there’s a door that locks from the outside, I don’t see a problem.

He doesn’t want any of the career scientists who actually care about “Environmental Protection” to hear him talking to the Koch Brothers.

I wonder what contractor from which Oklahoma fracking firm will be doing the construction on a no-bid contract?

Republicans, who refused to appropriate funds to hire additional security for our embassies and consulates, demand eighteen member, 24/7 bodyguard details and secure booths to speak with lobbyists/donors.

A 1932 style presidential campaign condemning these spendthrift bastards could rack up 350+ electoral votes.

Trying to weigh out whether this is more based on Projection (mr Sue teh EPA over and over again) or outright Paranoia. Guessing 49% Projection and 51% Paranoia.

Who oversees the Cabinet members. I don’t remember this much rogue and ridiculous spending across multiple agencies in previous administrations.
