IMHO even a lot of Republicans think Pruitt has to go, he has just become too much of an embarrassment.

Kelly "He's dying anyway" Sadler is officially gone.

Yes, aside from loathing the EPA. Which was well known and why, in a normal administration, he wouldn't have passed muster.

Grifty grifters on the grift, like Pruitt, should have to pay back the full valuation of every griftily grifted acquisition immediately upon termination.

Surely you mean grafty grafters.

How many gifts could a grifty grafter grift if a grifty grafter could graft gifts?

As I stated, if you wanted to neuter the EPA, there were much smarter ways to do it.

If Faux News is turning on Pruitt, he is not long for the political world....

Yeah, okay, most presidents tend not to appoint persons who hate their department. I thought you meant that his tendency for scandal was well known.

Seems Donny is going to try to run the place on his own now all his buddies are getting the chop.

A Pruitt lackey has had enough. Even after he gave her a $28,000 raise.

And yet another Pruitt story:

Once again, a minor indicent, but fits in with the patteren of a totally corrupt man...

Watching The Bitch Queen of the Briefing Room, I hear the song "Misses Robinson" even louder in the background. She may be off to place where she can stroll the grounds until she feels at home.

Apparently Conservative support for Pruitt is crumbling, with several conservative commentators calling for him to be ousted today.
I think he will be gone by the end of June.

Even Oklahoma senator Inhofe has had it with Pruitt:

To sum it up:

"Even Roy Cohn would tell Trump to fire Scott Pruitt at this point"

What??
What about the incumbent twat at the Resolution desk! He's the worst offender of them all! So when does he get shown the gold-painted door?

I don't mean to be that guy but.....

* Resolute Desk

Come on, don't you know article 1 of the US constitution?

"When the president does it, it doesn’t really matter whether it’s legal or not because he can just pardon himself anyway."

You were, and I happily stand corrected.

:)

Moving my chips over to Sanders.

"Sanders has told friends that she will leave the Trump administration by the end of the year"

I'm keeping pruitt in front of her. They keep gunning for him...

They?

You, know, They. As in "That's what They want you to think".

Many dems and even some republicans keep voicing Opposition to him, and the press has been pretty relentlessly on him as well.

Sorry to be unclear who/what I meant.

A lot of reports surfacing that Pruitt will be gone by the end of next week.

They just need to settle on a nominee who hates the environment even more than Pruitt. Who, by the way wants to bring back asbestos. His boss (for the moment) agrees.

The best people.

Wilbur Ross has timed his scandal hitting the news quite well.

Bet Ross is not the only one with a convoluted self-serving set of business arrangements like that. I can think of another so-called billionaire who will have an equally fascinating financial history to be revealed.

Or Mattis?

Pruitt seems to be hanging in their.Guess massive corrouption is OK if a Fellow Republican does it.....

TV news is talking Kelly this morning. WH says it's Fake News, so there's probably something to it.

OK, maybe it's going to be easier to say who is staying, rather than who will be going. Because all the WH staff look to be teetering over the edge of the abyss.

After the apparent chaos of the early part of the Trump Administration where it seemed that senior members were leaving on a weekly basis, we seem to have reached a situation where there is a stable (or at least consistent) team assembled around the President.

I'm too biased to be able to say whether this means that we have a well-oiled and smoothly operating machine at the top of government or whether President Trump has cobbled together a motley group who are so desperate to remain in position and/or so bought into the ethos of the Trump Presidency that they are eager to serve or whether this group are simply compliant enough not to give President Trump too many reasons to fire them.

Pruitt's great for us.... his whole team leaks like a fork trying to scoop up consomme. The latest pettiness with one of his former aides blowing the whistle on the calendar-doctoring is pure gold.

Scott Pruitt out

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-44733072

:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

So less than 48 hours after that consistency we have a major individual leaving. Who's next?

Surprised Pruitt lasted that long. But the real question is which performing monkey is he going to be replaced with. Or is Mafia Don going to run the EPA by himself as well. Or just not bother with replacing him at all (that option actually has odds!)
