Libtards hate Pruitt. Ergo, he can (literally) do whatever he wants.
The ‘mentor’ is Imhofe (now there’s a title to be proud of - Pruitt’s mentor). It was Imhofe and Ingraham who were throwing Pruitt under the bus, so the end may indeed be nigh.
In another thread I think, someone posted that Paul Ryan quote where he said he didn’t know much about Pruitt or whatever and how that made Ryan a sleazeball, but that’s really just writing on the wall for Pruitt’s near-term removal. Because if you’re House Majority Leader and someone asks you how you feel about Republican person X, you are going to say “I’m fond of X, they are a good person fighting the good fight.” If you instead say “Um, I dunno, I don’t think about them much” that is not a good thing for them.
It doesn’t matter whether Pruitt stays or goes. Whoever replaces him will be given the same mandate, which is to dismantle the EPA from inside. At least Pruitt’s hojillion incidental scandals might make it harder for him to stay focused on his real task.
Just another in a long line of corrupt cronies trump has brought in.
I hadn’t heard much about Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross until this sprawling Forbes article came out.
TLDR: he’s probably only broken one or two laws, but his business dealings are shady as hell. He’s linked with the government of China and his business partners include important Russian businessmen, including a few that have wound up on Mueller’s radar. And worst of all, though he claims to be a billionaire, his personal worth may have dropped enough to kick him out of the 3 Commas club.

So yeah, this is going well.
Looks like we have some options for this Corruption stuff.
Don’t give them any ideas or pretty soon we’ll be getting our nerve staples.
Wow
In any other administration this would be front page news with both the WSJ and NY Times assigning a reporting team, but not this one.

Seriously, it’s straight up illegal, right? Like, insanely obvious.

Silly Timex thinking the rule of law matters anymore.
Sort of at the level of “Sarah, have you stopped beating your wife?” - but amusing nonetheless.
Holy crap, the resemblance is striking, just like their ideologies:
I think we all knew a guy like that… The clever, ugly asshole. I may have been ugly on the outside but I was not ugly enough to not have friends. Everything I’ve read about this guy seems to support that picture.

Stephen Miller should be first against the wall. He is more dangerous than Trump. He makes Cheney jealous of the depth of his evil.
Speaking to The New York Times, Miller framed his theory this way: “You have one party that’s in favor of open borders, and you have one party that wants to secure the border. And all day long the American people are going to side with the party that wants to secure the border. And not by a little bit. Not 55–45. 60–40. 70–30. 80–20. I’m talking 90–10 on that“
90-10? Surely he can’t be right about that. Right?
