Lovely job, Stephen. Most particularly, your Investigation Discovery description of Pruitt's babbling Chik-Fil-A explanation. Could almost smell the coagulating blood on his shoes:)

Scott Adams is an old-school troll, which is to say he likes stirring shit up for the sake of stirring shit up. But he's also an MRA dick.

He is exceptionally motivated, I'll give him that.

So you're telling me you live in Oklahoma? (says this Okie with similar results from my Congress crtters). But remember that this state's senior Senator is Jim "snowball" Inhofe who recently claimed that all of the umpteen investigations into Scott Pruitt are lies pushed by Tom Steyer. Also, for you marijuana fans out there, there is a state question about legalizing medical marijuana on the ballot for the primaries this week. Now this state question would have been on the ballot in 2016 except for how the grifter-in-chief (Pruitt was Oklahoma's AG before he elevated his grifting game) actually rewrote the language of the petition that people signed, to make it seem like people were voting for recreational instead of medical marijuana. And this change delayed the question being put to a vote. So yes, Pruitt's grifting is real and it is spectacular..

I see now why Pruitt wants extra security. He's afraid if we really got to know him, he's be in deep shit!Fuck Dos Guys (FDG)!

Lock. Him. Up. Along with the rest of the gang that couldn't grift straight.

I didn't know you could safely handle those critters! And was it stinky like koala bears!

The emails also show that Mr. Hart suggested other potential hires to the E.P.A., including one person who he emphasized was a Republican and an African-American, on behalf of an executive of the philanthropic arm of the pork giant Smithfield Foods.

I'm sure most people here know this, but it can't hurt to point out that Smithfield is one of the largest corporate polluters in existence (think pigshit lagoons meet drinking water supplies).

Mr. Prince doesn't appear to be too worried. We should remember that he fancies himself a clandestine hero, and no doubt has arrangements to use strongly encrypted messaging (probably supplied by Russians or Israelis).
