It’s amazing how the Man with the Best Memory in the World can infect so many people with Donnesia.

“It is difficult to get a man to remember something when his salary depends on him forgetting it.”

I don’t think Sinclair would mind.

“I believe that Donald Trump in the White House would be more abusive to the Constitution than Barack Obama – and that’s saying a lot,” Pruitt said

I would argue that this comment was extraordinarily prescient.

Of equal or greater importance, Donald Trump and Scott Pruitt are proving themselves to be even more abusive and threatening to the environment, to the health of all Americans, and to the survival of the world.

Seems like a pretty clear indication that Pruitt at one point in the past coupla years met with Russians because these memory lapses coincide with every 'pub who’s met with one or more of Putin’s pals. I think their technology might be a wee bit ahead of ours when it comes to the Neutralizer…

“I believe that Donald Trump in the White House would be more abusive to the Constitution than Barack Obama — and that’s saying a lot,” Pruitt said during the 2016 interview. “I think executive orders with Donald Trump would be a very blunt instrument with respect to the Constitution.”

In your defense, Scott, your words of caution proved to be correct. No need to have doubts about your words now. You nailed it! Well done!

I did call him a a bully, but that was before I had the pleasure of bowing down before his glowing, golden, godlike visage.

“After meeting him, and now having the honor of working for him, it is abundantly clear that President Trump is the most consequential leader of our time,” Pruitt said Tuesday, according to the agency’s statement. “No one has done more to advance the rule of law than President Trump. The president has liberated our country from the political class and given America back to the people.”

This is really scary shit. This is the kind of stuff people spew when they think a trip to the Gulag hangs in the balance.

Can’t recall
Don’t recall
Not aware
Don’t remember
Don’t know who she is
I don’t think
Taking the 5th though, just in case.

It’s like the GOP has a collective case of selective amnesia.

Quite a phenomenon. Should be a good case study for some PhD in psychological/neurological disorders.

“After meeting him, and now having the honor of working for him, it is abundantly clear that President Trump is the most consequential leader of our time,” Pruitt said.

“And after having said that, it is abundantly clear that I am the most craven ass licker of our time.”

The effortlessness with which this soulless POS and his co-conspirators are able to so casually lie is hard to fathom. I use to call it ‘selective amnesia’ but that doesn’t do it justice. I don’t know what the pathology is called but it is so destructive you lose sight of a starting point. I guess that’s the idea.

Mind like a steel trap! A rusty old trap with broken spring and too big to hold onto a lot of small details, but like a steel trap nonetheless.

If we step back a bit from who said it in 2016 then he called it correctly. What I need now is to find out how many rubles are flowing into Pruitt’s account. I also trying to imagine the freedom Pruitt has now at the EPA would have been the freedom to destroy under Bush or Kasich? Is Pruitt still going to run for OK Governor?

"it is abundantly clear that President Trump is the most consequential leader of our time,”

I am in complete agreement with Pruitt on this point but I doubt that we are trying to convey the same meaning.

I hear there are videos of Trump spanking the Constitution with a rolled up Forbes Magazine. Pretty sure Mueller has them.
