I looked on Trivago. The cheapest room in Washington is a youth hostel with bunkbeds at $81 a night. The $50 room Scott Pruitt got was a bribe from an energy lobbyist. Need your pipeline approved? Do it through Pruitt!

Pruitt is great. He's cleaning house and putting the EPA back where it belongs....dealing with actual pollution.

That's why the left is going after him.
Exactly; the "ethics" complaints are a red herring.

Pruitt is the swamp. He was corrupt in Oklahoma he is corrupt at the EPA. He is in bed with the very industry he is supposed to keep from polluting . Trump has nominated some very swampy cabinet members but Trumpkins tend to ignore that fact.

It was on Cspan. Obama's EPA stopped Superfund clean ups to concentrate on legislating from the EPA. IE, making up policy without Congress.

Pruitt has been so effective that all of the left wing guns are on him. Like Yahoo News right now.

He's not listening to enviro activists. He has to go.

So do you think God closes his eyes when Pruitt is sleazy and/or dishonest.

Don't you think that there is someone who can appropriately pare down the EPA regs who isn't ethically challenged?

Is/was Samantha Dravis Pruitt's mistress? Has anyone hinted at that?

She was getting a full time salary as senior counsel at the EPA when, in fact, she never showed from November 2017 through January 2018. But she did make the Morocco trip with its two night stay in Paris.

Allegedly Scott Porter cheated on Dravis with Hope Hicks. Dravis told WH about wife beating which led to WH firing Porter. Porter gave payback to Dravis' sweet gig (of not working for 3 months yet getting paid & going on lavish trip on taxpayer dime) as Pruitt alleged mistress by leaking to media her situation.

Pruitt gave HUGE raises to two other female staffers as only God knows why. Did they have dirt on him? Were they sleeping with him also? One girl was working in a chain hotel in Nashville two years ago out of college as communications major. She was getting paid $86k as his scheduler then randomly got a 33k raise by Pruitt to make $116/year! The other girl got a $55k raise!

Any way you slice this, Pruitt is a POS that has to go. The good news is most everything we needed Pruitt to do has been enacted. Trump just needs someone to babysit it now. Trump is smart and knows this will hurt his "drain the swamp" brand. Pruitt will likely be gone soon.

Agreed, then make him Attorney General and tell Sessions to go back to Alabama and try not to embarrass himself any more.

Why would you want to make him AG? Sessions sucks but this guy is sloppy. Why not get someone strong and sharp to replace Sessions?

It’s hard to take anyone serious that’s advocating Pruitt’s removal because of his handling of tax payer funds and cozying up with lobbyist. Where was this reporting and outrage the last 8 years?

When Obama was giving kickbacks to all these solar and clean energy companies and executives. Billions in subsidies and 34 of those companies went bankrupt within a short amount of time a complete loss of a fricking investment funded all by the tax payer.

LINK

quote:

It is no secret that President Obama’s and green energy supporters’ (from both parties) foray into venture capitalism has not gone well. But the extent of its failure has been largely ignored by the press. Sure, single instances garner attention as they happen, but they ignore past failures in order to make it seem like a rare case.


quote:

The truth is that the problem is widespread. The government’s picking winners and losers in the energy market has cost taxpayers billions of dollars, and the rate of failure, cronyism, and corruption at the companies receiving the subsidies is substantial. The fact that some companies are not under financial duress does not make the policy a success. It simply means that our taxpayer dollars subsidized companies that would’ve found the financial support in the private market.



quote:

So far, 34 companies that were offered federal support from taxpayers are faltering — either having gone bankrupt or laying off workers or heading for bankruptcy. This list includes only those companies that received federal money from the Obama Administration’s Department of Energy and other agencies. The amount of money indicated does not reflect how much was actually received or spent but how much was offered. The amount also does not include other state, local, and federal tax credits and subsidies, which push the amount of money these companies have received from taxpayers even higher.

Obama's appointments were terrible and they were crooked. I voted for Trump to stop or at least mitigate this stuff. This is not draining the swamp.

In Trump's defense, however, he had no idea Pruitt would be so flagrantly incompetent and unethical. He's done most of what Trump needed him to get done. Trump will now do the right thing and dump him.

I personally don’t care if Pruitt is shown the door. It was a given anyone trump picked to be head of EPA was going to have a big spotlight of any of his cabinet picks because it was 100% going to be an oil and gas industry appointee.

It just show how hypocritical the left is and all the liberals in this thread going after Pruitt.

But he's not incompetent and he's not unethical. The primary problem with your thread is that you're full of shite. You're listening to the left trying destroy someone who is extremely effective at destroying them.

eh, sleeping with hot blondes is a resume builder in this Adminstration.

If Pruitt has to go, replace him with someone even more “extreme”. Maybe the libtards will learn that things can get worse.
