Taking credit for something you haven’t actually done - now, where have I seen this before?
A Trump cabinet department lies - nothing new about that. More toxic sites probably WILL come off the list with Pruitt’s flunkies supervising the inspections and deciding what the standard will be.
It’s simple:
-
Lower standards so that large tar puddles and groundwater with a rainbow sheen count as “completed cleanup.”
-
Close the file.
-
Take credit.
“There are currently more than 1,300 Superfund sites on EPA’s National Priorities List…”
Does that toxic-waste tally include Donald’s nightly-soiled bedding?
Because declaring a site “clean” after doing nothing at all is almost free.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh…bless their little ratfkin’ hearts. They have to take credit for PRETEND accomplishments to cover up for building bomb shelters and such to protect them from the hordes.
Lies, lies and more lies. The GOP is physically incapable of telling the truth- or tell the difference, apparently.
See why he wanted a sound-proof booth at EPA?
Make America America Again!
Run for office- the 2018 elections are 10 months away! And if Trump and Louie Gohmert and Steve King can get elected what’s to stop a qualified candidate?
Become a Precinct Committee Officer, sometimes it’s a Ward officer. You’ll meet with neighborhood Dems and get out the vote. Find good citizens willing to run for office.
Register people to vote. If you need to help people overcome the GOP-led Voter run-around help them do that.
Run for School Board. Make sure Civics is being properly taught. Think a majority of America knows how government works? Just 26% of eligible voters in America voted for Trump and half of eligible voters stayed home last November. Today’s 12-year olds will be voting for President in 8 years.
Run for Mayor, City Council, County Commissioner, Borough Assembly.
Get appointed to your Planning Commission. Know everything going on in your community.
Run for State Legislature or Congress. The next census is in 2020, just over 2 years from now, when we redraw Congressional Districts.
And get rid of GERRYMANDERING! Safe GOP seats gave us such intellectual giants as Louie Gohmert and Steve King. In most cases it’s the state Legislature that draws Congressional boundaries. Make it FAIR, OPEN and HONEST! We can do this!
Overturn Citizens United. Money is NOT speech and Corporations are NOT people- at least not until Texas executes one, and overturn any voter ID laws that are clearly an attempt to disenfranchise the poor and people of color.

You Got To Run!
The work was done when President Obama was in office, when government worked for the people, instead of for 400 billionaires.
Short version - “tonight we’re gonna party likes it’s 1984”
EPA declined Friday to provide details of procedural changes
under Pruitt that led to the seven sites being delisted faster
Of course not …
You need the super secret special decoder ring to get into the quiet box where all the details are kept
to get that info —
Does everyone in Trump’s administration think that everyone listens to False Fox News?
Well with the new offshore drilling regs being loosened, he’ll give someone a chance to clean up even more. Why do you folks always have to look on the dark side?
Telling lies has become contagious in this administration.
Did anybody question Ptuit at the hearing today? Why did he get away with giving misleading information?
Related: Pruitt has been floating his name as a potential successor for Sessions over at DoJ.
Even Fox News thinks this guy is an idiot:
"Former SpiritBank CEO Albert Kelly has been barred from banking.
FOX23 told you last week that former SpiritBank CEO Albert Kelly, better known as Kell Kelly, was barred from banking by the FDIC and ordered to pay a $125,000 penalty.
The FDIC order says Kelly “engaged or participated in a violation of law or regulation” at SpiritBank and that he “consented… without admitting or denying the violation.”
Bank officials say Kelly worked there for 34 years, but he left in April to take a job at the EPA overseeing superfund sites.
FOX23 has not heard back from Kelly, but the EPA said in a statement that they are “fortunate to have him as part of our team.”
I don’t know which is more surprising, the ease with which they lie or their apparent belief that the American public is completely naive.
Don’t forget: Pruitt has stated he thinks he is a good fit for AG (once Sessions finally gives in).
