1. Bout DAMN TIME.......

[Arkansas Granny]

5. You took the words right out of my mouth.

[a kennedy]

11. Ha ha......that great minds thing eh??

[GetRidOfThem]

22. Screw it, Pruitt!

[smirkymonkey]

2. Yes!

Now lets hope he doesn't find someone who is even worse.

[ck4829]

6. He'll have to TRY to find someone worse

Now, if he nominated the bad guys from Captain Planet...

Maybe.

[Metro135]

30. Maybe not worse in terms of ethics but --

still intent on destroying the environment

The departure of Scott Pruitt, the scandal-plagued former head of the Environmental Protection Agency, means that the agency will be led in the coming months by Mr. Pruitt’s deputy, Andrew Wheeler, a former coal lobbyist who shares Mr. Pruitt’s zeal to undo environmental regulations.

[lagomorph777]

34. Just as evil without the visibly crazy behaviors.

That's bad. Also, we've lost a swamp-creature poster-child for November.

[gratuitous]

3. Time for the criminal charges

Lock him up!

[40RatRod]

54. You beat me to it!

I'll say it anyway. LOCK HIM UP!

[greatauntoftriplets]

4. Finally!

Of course, whoever Spanky replaces him with will be vile, but maybe the corruption won't quite reach Pruitt's level.

[Frustratedlady]

7. Which was it? The scandal$ or the mother at the restaurant table...

giving him a well-deserved dressing down?

Good riddance!

Rachel will need a new board!

[MontanaMama]

20. We're gonna need a bigger board...

[magicarpet]

65. The final back breaker was the young man who complained about Pruitt on the Chris Hayes....

.... MSNBC report. This EPA whistle blower report was devastating for Pruitt.

[Bob Loblaw]

74. Dead hooker or live boy?

nt

[ck4829]

99. Good question.

[Gothmog]

8. Bye bye

[RandySF]

9. He fired an EPA employee

for refusing to delete his calendar.

[hlthe2b]

10. Poor widdle grifter.... My tots and pears....

[MissB]

12. Yay.

Someone has a glimmer of a conscience. Not sure it’s Pruitt.

[panader0]

59. I don't think his resignation has anything to do with conscience

on any level. Political expedience......

[irisblue]

13. Koch brothers are going to be piiiissseeeeddd.

👏🙌👏🙌👏🙌

[avebury]

26. Harol Hamm will also be pissed. nt

[irisblue]

29. I had to google him. Yeah, he's must be annoyed as well.

[Leith]

39. So Did I

Just for an extra bit of information, on the little Wikipedia blurb on the right side of the Google response page it says that his sister's name is Fanny Holder.

In case you find yourself in a pub quiz or trivia competition.

[blogslut]

14. Yes

[Glimmer of Hope]

15. Oh noes. What will happen to the entitled asshole?

[lagomorph777]

36. Straight into the American Petroleum Institute, I reckon.

[LonePirate]

16. By resigning, Pruitt finally does something to benefit the environment instead of his donors.

[Freethinker65]

17. He should NEVER have been nominated nor confirmed. Unethical fucking bastard

[OldManTarHeel]

18. Thank you, POScott Pruitt . .

good riddance . .

[lunatica]

19. That mother at the restaurant confronting him was evidently the last straw!

Hahahahaha hahahahaha!

[Leghorn21]

23. -----------Thank you, KRISTEN MINK!!!!-------

SHE GOT THE JOB DONE

[EndGOPPropaganda]

28. Thank you Ms. Mink

[LittleGirl]

40. Yup

It is the Year of the Women!

Hear Us Roar

[Sophiegirl]

95. I only wish...

I could rec this a 1000 times!! She certainly was fearless.

[humbled_opinion]

58. This will be spun

by the Reich wing machine to be about Maxine Waters calls for people to get in their faces and the effects that has on people and their families who are "just trying to do their job". That video and Huck Slanders getting tossed from the restaurant will just bolster their argument among their conspiracy theory base.

[lunatica]

60. So what else is new?

They’ll continue to demonize us with lies no matter what we do. I think we have to stop bringing kid gloves to a gun fight. I support Maxine Waters 100%!

[gademocrat7]

21. Good news

Hope he goes to prison.

[Totally Tunsie]

24. It's about f****** time...

now let's get Zinke out.

[BadgerMom]

53. My hope that Zinke is next in the barrel

was what I texted by daughter and husband upon learning of the resignation.

[Haggis for Breakfast]

89. And the horse he rode in on . . .

[MontanaMama]

97. Montana is all about purging Zinke.

His brother lives down the street from me and all I hear in the neighborhood is what a criminal Zinke is...folks are keeping their distance from the brother and his wife similar to the Martha's Vineyard crowd shunning Alan Dershowitz. In fact, Zinke's sister in law who only talks to me if there's no one else around grabbed me in the grocery store recently and talked my ears off. My kiddo was with me and he said later "wow mama, that was just weird"...which it certainly was.

[marble falls]

25. Now when do we get cheetolini's, Vos', Pence's, Huckleberry's ..... ?

[EndGOPPropaganda]

27. Unfollow Trump- use this twitter account, don't retweet him.

[duforsure]

31. He was a corrupt idiot

And maybe turnip should resign too before he's exposed ,and facing consequences for his coruption and treason.

[ffr]

32. The flood out the door continues!

[BlueSea]

33. I want more

Resignation isn't enough from this criminal. I want public humiliation, endless harrassment to him and his family, monetary ruin that completely wipes out his finances forcing him to be poor, sexual scandal that embarrasses him and his family, lawsuits that bankrupt him and his children, and as a final blow - a massive, jaw-breaking punch to the face...which I'd be happy to administer.

Fuck Scott Pruitt and his family for eternity. I mean this 100%.

[calimary]

35. HOWEVER!!!!!!!!! Do NOT stop your vigilance!!!

All this means is they go underground now, with their dastardly agenda.

Scott Pruitt was a big fat open wound, oozing oceans of pus in public, attracting all kinds of negative attention. It’s whoever replaces him that’s a concern. Could be the same kind of monster, just less scandal-prone.

This is NOT the time to declare “Mission Accomplished” and roll over and go back to sleep. Because Mission has NOT been accomplished. I’ve heard the most likely to succeed guy is a fellow climate crisis denier, and more.

[lagomorph777]

37. +1 Equally bad, without the flamboyant, zany, mattress-sniffing behaviors.

[BlueSea]

42. Agreed

This is not the time to declare mission accomplished, fast from it. Keep on fighting until these traitorous bastards are in jail -or- dead of heart attacks.

[JDC]

38. Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out

Take your used mattress and go back to OK you corrupt, worthless bag of bones.

[IronLionZion]

41. So the mom ruining his lunch actually worked?

Bye Felicia! Maybe Mueller might want to have a chat with this guy.

[RainCaster]

52. Yes, it took a housewife with a kid in her arms to do what the GOP and SCROTUS could not!

The GOP is so corrupt and ineffective.

There was a GOP float in our small town 4th of July parade yesterday. I boohed them and told them to go back to Russia. It was an old car (40's Buick) filled with really old geezers.

[forgotmylogin]

84. She was literally JUST on Chris Hayes on MSNBC

She says it wasn't her specifically who caused him to resign but she was glad to be "one of the nails in the coffin".

[ck4829]

100. Perhaps

[PatrickforO]

43. Well, what is Andrew Wheeler like?

A few degrees less-worse?

I'm not sure I want to go as far as saying 'better.'

Not yet, at least.

[lastlib]

90. no, he may be worse:

ex-industry lobbyist on environmental issues, totally in bed with the corporations, very anti-regulation, "Let the free market handle it" kind of d&ick. Anti-science, too--except when it suits the corporate, anti-regulation purpose, goes without saying.

Short answer--we're still f&ucked.

[Upthevibe]

44. Finally!

..............Goodbye you soul-less piece of SH****!

[BlancheSplanchnik]

45. Wow! I truly feared he'd stay out of spite.

I can’t believe he’s stepped down!

Now, investigations and prison!

[Alea]

46. I snickered when I saw this post

[Ferrets are Cool]

47. Finally a bit of good news!!!

[MontanaMama]

48. Does this mean that

we're about to find out that he's done something even more heinous than the crap we already know about????

[OnDoutside]

57. Same thought occurred to me ....

[uponit7771]

94. +1

[MrsCoffee]

96. Probably. But he has more than likely done irreversible damage and gotten everything he wanted.

[Duppers]

49. "Outstanding job" my ass.

Outstanding job of cutting environmental protections and spending huge amounts of money on his personal ego items.

We need scouts to track Trump's appointees and staff to restaurants.

[Squinch]

75. He's just trolling us with that one. What a treasonous creep. Makes me sick.

[PaulX2]

50. Corrupt Pile Of Planet Destroying Garbage Replaced By Corrupt Planet Destroying Garbage

The Trump Machine keeps a rollin'....

[hibbing]

51. He did what he was appointed to do n/t

[Blue_Tires]

55. Probably one step ahead of the fucking indictments, huh?

[BillyBobBrilliant]

56. Send him

an itemized invoice for his expenses.

[bpositive]

61. He resigned because

He met his objectives of wreaking havoc on the environment and enriching himself. My fear is that we do not know everything he did and we will find out too late. I’m still curious why he needed the safe room for phone calls- probably a direct line to Russia.

Good riddance. Hopefully he gets investigated.

[DoctorJoJo]

62. Immortally Immoral!

I think Scotty Pukeit has earned his own dictionary entry. From now on, whenever a Government staffer goes off the rails, ethically, he will be referred to as going "Full Pruitt!" Congrats, Scotty, you are now immortal!

[duforsure]

63. Now calls for turnip

To also resign for all his corruption, lying to the American people, and from him conspiring with putin, and money laundering . He's a crook, and deserves no place in OUR government.

[workinclasszero]

64. HAHA!

Now he needs to be arrested and charged with the many crimes he has committed and for the theft of public funds!

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

66. Well bye

&exph=315&expw=604&q=well+bye+meme&simid=607993094641550037&selectedIndex=0&ajaxhist=0

[apkhgp]

79. He saddled up his horse

And rode out of town.
Maybe he knows Roy Moore.

[AllaN01Bear]

67. yabbadabba doooo.

was araingeing a ride to church over the phone w a friend when she told me the news .best news ive heard all day!!

[ProfessorGAC]

68. He Quit Because A Mommy Was Mean???

What a punk!
And, we're NOT supposed to be "uncivil"?
This is proof that it works!
Anything that got this slime to say ciao is a positive step!

[sellitman]

70. Two words came to me immediately.

WOMP WOMP!!!!!!

[47of74]

71. Fuck Pruitt. Fuck Spanky McFuckface.

That is all.

[dameatball]

72. Some other fossil fuel tool will step up and not miss a beat

[Honeycombe8]

73. FINALLY! Just how much does it take for someone to get fired around there?

Besides not pledging loyalty to Trump above all else. Apparently quite a lot.

[Takket]

[in2herbs]

78. Just in time to be nominated to the USSC?????

[Mountain Mule]

80. YES! YES! YES!

There IS a Goddess! The birds are singing songs of joy, the cougars and the lynx and the bobcats are all acting as if they have imbibed grade A Numero Uno catnip. The chipmunks are chipping and the squirrels have brought out all their carefully squirreled away nuts for a feast. The air already smells cleaner and all the brooks and streams are babbling with a song hopeful of clean water again. Even global warming has paused for a beat to join in the festivities.

I wish for Scott Pruitt an eternal afterlife spent forever on the kind of planet in the kind of environment he was ever so ready to force on our children and grandchildren - an environmental hell where every living creature was sentenced to terrible suffering followed by extinction.

May the great James Hanson dance on Pruitt's grave. And before that, may the coming DEMOCRATIC Congress and DEMOCRATIC POTUS put Pruitt on trial for the horrors and graft and theft and every other one of the numerous sins he so willingly and happily committed!

Please forgive my wild babbling of joy, but I am a biologist and an environmentalist and my joy knows no bounds. Now let us all together work to see that the events above do come true and a toast - CONFUSION TO OUR ENEMIES! HUZZAH!

(okay, I'll go try to calm down now before I make anymore wild posts)

[sunonmars]

81. I completely missed because I had tuned that bastards name out.....

[Kablooie]

82. Well, that took too long.

[MikeJelf]

83. Heinrich Himmler Fired as Jewish Defense League Chief

...and Willie Sutton loses post as head of FBI's bank robbery unit. (He didn't steal enough.)

[guss]

85. He got Trumped

Pruitt wasted more Tax payers money then Trump.
The people Couldn't afford 2 dead weights on the payroll
one had to go.

[Johnny2X2X]

86. He will name someone worse

Pruitt was corrupt and got caught. He was a nightmare pick for EPA. Trump will look under every rock in oil country to find someone worse.

[Mc Mike]

87. Is the Agency gonna repo his bulletproof undies?

And the cone of silence?

[trickyguy]

88. Well, now rTump will have to find someone else to lick his ass.

[yuiyoshida]

91. Resigns?

Under normal circumstances he should be FIRED AND ARRESTED. WTF? SERIOUSLY, HOW FAR we have come.

[Blue Owl]

92. Was he wearing his tactical retreating pants?

[Scurrilous]

93. K&R

101. Let's pay to have

that used mattress delivered to Senator Lankford's home. I will be asking my rump voter brother for a donation.
