Trump's EPA chief calls ethics scandals lies

Pruitt isn’t going anywhere until he finishes ending US government support for the global warming hoax.

"what appears to be a propensity for grift."

The Grifters by James Thompson was a wonderful book, but it was about small time crooks. 

What the Trump-Kushner syndicate, with help from plutocrats in their faction of the ruling class, are doing is way beyond mere grifting. 

They’re selling out the country to the highest bidders, at home and abroad, and attempting to bring down the US political system so they can to have even more power than they already have and even greater wealth. 

Lock them up! Drain Trump’s swamp!

@cla68akaburningbush finishes ending US government support for the global warming hoax.

You nailed the reason Trump appointed Pruitt to head EPA, which is to ensure the oil and gas industries, among others, are allowed the freedumbs to pollute they had in the 1950’s. 

The Trump administration wants to free industries from environmental constraints, along with others including worker and consumer protections, to return the US to perhaps an even earlier than the 1950’s, post WW2 era. Trump seems to want to turn the clock back to the days of the last century when robber barons ruled.  

Either that or he wants the US to become a totalitarian democracy ala Russia and Turkey so he and his fellow oligarchs can get even richer.

Throw this loser out with the garbage.

I do not know if all allegations against this man are true (none of us do) but from what I have read some of them are backed up with factual evidence.

Also he is a continuation of the "swamp" of which Trump spoke of during his campaign. He has engaged in some pretty gross over spending, which is well documented.

I feel the same about Ben Carson (I do not agree with Dr. Carson on all issues but I did have some respect for him...before). Dr. Carson spent lavishly on furnishings for his office....another continuation of the swamp.

Best thing for this guy to do is to fall on the sword; but it appears he will not.

U.S. politicians continue to enrich themselves, directly and indirectly, while the wealth gap continues to rise to dramatic proportions.

People who blame their staff for failures suck.

A boss should take all blame and pass thru all praise. Period.

Steady on, Mr Pruitt. The climate hustlers you have called out are not happy and will stop at nothing to keep their cottage industry afloat.

Pruitt stinks because he is neck deep in stuff.

Egoistic, lack of even basic ethics and ruthless towards all who stand in his way.

He ticks all of Trumps boxes and no doubt is a favourite.

It'll be a while before he gets shown the door.

Stuff like this is a pet peeve of mine. Who do these people think they are? We need money in so many areas in this country and these guys stuff it in their own pockets.

I don’t care which party they are from. They are garbage.

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree, or the president in this case.

Anyway, the damage has already been done so it doesn't matter now whether he stays or goes. The same goes for speaker Paul Ryan, except in Ryan's case he's abandoning ship along with the women and children.

This rat has been destroying our environment for the benefit of corporations. He is the worst of the worst when it comes to republican ideology.

I agree.

This rat has been destroying our environment for the benefit of corporations. He is the worst of the worst when it comes to republican ideology.

Oh, please! This is why people think the left are the party of the insane, for them, the environment is more important than life itself or even people. Yeah, keep it up and continue to lose seats if you guys keep pounding that drum.
