Serendipity strikes again. I hear Steve Stockman is looking for a roommate.

At this point someone could say that Pruitt has tail and hoofs, and smells like sulfur and everyone would believe it. He must be the most corrupt cabinet member in a long time.

[/quote]I seem to recall trump bragging he was gonna bring in ā€œthe best peopleā€ to work in the Executive Branch. What he meant by ā€œbest peopleā€ (Pruit was ā€œbest peopleā€) was clearly misunderstood by nearly everyone, except those here at TPM. What trump meant, of course, by ā€œbest peopleā€ were the best grifters, in-your-face criminals, and con artists and not people working for the betterment of all Americans. Clearly trump chose those people he was most familiar with and that would be most like him from his years as a real estate blow hard, casino buffoon. err tycoon, and sex object rich guy at Studio 54. He cast himself as ā€œI’m really really richā€ as a chief reason to vote for him. While many did for exactly that reason, it made me queasy to the point of needing to lay down.
edit to add
Tail, hoofs and sulfur… and still trump hasn’t fired the guy.

Zinke’s not far behind.

Time to bring out that old Chesnut…" disgruntled ex employee" even though the unraveling mess corroborates so much of what is coming to light…surely a thorough investigation must be warranted by now…

A gator couldn’t match Pruitt’s appetites. They’re reptiles, after all. Weasels eat pretty much 24/7.
