52-46 with Joe Manchin (WV) and Heidi Heitkamp (ND) voting to confirm. Collins again received a special dispensation from McConnell to oppose.

Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt confirmed by Senate to serve as EPA administrator.

Doesn’t the “P” in EPA stand for “protection?”

Now it stands for “Pillaging”.

Pruitt (in my opinion) was one of the worst of the Trump picks. Please excuse me as I think I will be ill.

The foxes are saying, “screw the henhouse, we want bacon!”

So, we’re headed back to the times of burning rivers and dense, deadly smog. And why not? It was so much fun the first time around!

Will Pruitt attempt to do any work, or will he simply walk up to his office door, hang a sign that says “closed” on it, and walk away?

Yes, “protection” as in, “Nice little neighborhood you have there. It would be a shame if DuPont turned it into a Superfund site.”

Trump is really going to regret this in about a week, when Pruitt’s emails are released.

Not to mention reversals on climate change control measures. Nothing like have a climate change denier as head of the EPA. We’re screwed…

If they really are released.

Oh! So EPA stands for Emilio’s Protection Agency. It should be EPR, then, where the R stands for Racket.

Sean Spicer: we’re very excited about General Pruitt’s plans to execute death row prisoners by injecting them with fracking fluids. That’s the sort of bold, economic innovation this administration is committed to.

I guess the blue sky and the sun is going to look hazy everyday in a little while.
I guess the rivers will look a little gray in a little while.
How long before we begin living under the dome to survive.

Dramatic huh?
But not that to far fetched.
