A $43,000 phone booth. I’d love to see a set of images.

Trump’s orbit is such a fever swamp of corruption that this scandal, rightly an above-the-fold story in any other administration, is relegated to page six or thereabouts. Drained, indeed.

I recall a long distance 10 hour bus ride I took 20+ years ago in the early days of cell phones. By the end of the trip I overheard and learned how to say, “can you hear me now?” in Spanish, Polish and a couple of Asian languages!

Scott Pruitt is a VERY IMPORTANT PERSON, and if y’all can’t see that then you need to get some glasses!

And somewhere, Ben Carson is really pissed off because the Pruitt Cone of Silence so that he could have a totally confidential Back Channel to communicate with Phillips Petroleum, the Koch Bros, and Carl Icahn, cost more than $10,000 more than the dining set that everyone gave him so much shit about at HUD.

And somewhere else, Rex Tillerson repeatedly mutters “fucking moron” about Donald Trump, Scott Pruitt and others whose images pop into his head willy nilly.

“…$43,238.68 for the installation of a soundproof privacy booth…”

Pruitt: “It rubs the lotion on its skin, or it gets the hose again.”

Climate Scientist: “Administrator Pruitt, if you let me go, I won’t press charges, I promise.”

Pruitt: “Now it puts the lotion in the basket.”

Climate Scientist: “Please! I wanna go back to my office! I wanna go back to the lab!”

Pruitt: “Put the f-cking lotion in the basket!!!”

The Trump Cone of Silence. The Trump Organization will collect the naming rights fee from the EPA.

The part where they just blew off the law is bad, but at this point I don’t care about the cost. I want the call-logs.

I’d bet the IC has already got recordings of his ’ private ’ calls …

He thinks he’s so smart … like someone else —
