We need to ramp up our news in exposing Scott Pruitt for the incompetent con man he is. We need to report on every dirty deed hes done. Seems to me like dRump doesnt like to have people who works for him to get more news coverage than him and especially bad news coverage. Hell be out as quick as Spicer when he started getting wailed on by the press. I hope the media continues to hound Pruitt. There's some real juicy tidbits that can be found. I personally think hes mentally unstable with paranoid responses. The dumb one's vanity will get the best of him.

(115,693 posts)He is imploding on his own. We dont need to do anything but sit back and let him continue to implode on his own. If he is not removed, he will serve as a constant reminder to independent non-committed voters that this administration is corrupt and all about looting the country for personal benefit.

If the Rethugs complain, the answer is "Well stop providing us with so much material!"
Rethugs in Congress are also providing rich material for 2018 and 2020 because they kowtow to Trump all the time.

(10,952 posts)According to Rachel Maddow last night, Pruitt took a substantial entourage with him, all of whom flew 1st Class. Rather then fly straight to Morocco, they made a pit stop in Paris (on a Friday night) and were to fly onto Morocco the next day. Well they must have had a really good time because nobody made it to the airport the next day for their flight to Morocco. So they got an extra day and night in Paris. They spent more time in Paris then the did Morocco.
And people need to demand an explanation on why he spent a huge amount of tax payer dollars for a trip that was not even have a connection to the EPA. Why was he peddling a company with such deep ties to Carl Ichan?
There are so many more issues that the public can hammer him on. We need to make him so toxic that, not only will he have to leave with his tail between his legs, but Trump can't make him AG.

Maybe Rachel needs to start another board listing all of Pruitt's ethical and financial misdeeds.
I really wonder what he might have been up to when he was in Oklahoma as the AG and any other public office he might have held.
