And it was right near Scott Pruitt's office.
Between the threat of budget cuts, major restructuring, and having a climate change skeptic run the show, it's been a pretty rough year to work at the Environmental Protection Agency. On Thursday, things only got shittier.
Employees at the EPA headquarters in Washington, DC, discovered that sewage was literally spewing out of the water fountains, E&E News reports. They got an email at about 9 AM letting them know that there was a "water line back up" causing an "issue" with the fountains. According to the folks inside, "issue" was an understatement.

This one looks pretty serious. I think everyone in the world is pretty much putting out the same message: DO SOMETHING FOR GODSSAKE!
And all that amassed energy just exploded in Pruitts face. Goddammit, he lied so smooth at the hearings. And what a goddamn obscene liar hes turned out to be.
