1. Meh....most importantly

Who cares...
I had to break away from my Netflix binge watching...

[irisblue]

2. Doing the crime..sad he got caught. See ya dude

[gratuitous]

7. Now Pruitt can do some time

I hope this doesn't end the multiple ethics investigations into this scumbucket. He needs to spend some time as a guest of the federal government making little ones out of big ones.

[lagomorph777]

17. womp, womp.

Poor little Scottie, couldn't handle people noticing his evil and crazy behaviors.

[Leghorn21]

3. I AM SO INCONSOLABLY DISTRESSED AND SAD

or - yeah, probably not

I hear he’s still the object of like 12 different investigations so he’s got that to look forward to

NEXT

[Arkansas Granny]

4. He can blame it on anything he likes. I'm just glad he's gone.

How long will it take for us to recover from the destruction he has done to the EPA?

[EricJohnson]

5. He is grateful that Trumpet gave a crook a break.

[LuckyLib]

6. A one line resignation letter would do. The

over the top piety and multiple blessings are just too much. Part of what’s wrong with the idiots in the xtian administration. All bull.

[smirkymonkey]

24. It's enough to make you hurl!

sickening, sanctimonious, whining prick!

[FakeNoose]

43. Why does he get to walk away, who's paying for his crimes and misdeeds in office?

Don't tell me, Cheeto is gonna pardon him!

[bdamomma]

50. That is how these

POS's get away with crap, they just resign instead of facing up to the consequences.

Great do many dirty deeds and walk away, no prison or anything, you can take that white collar crime and shove it!!!!!!!

[tinrobot]

8. Spoken like a true snowflake...

Can't take the heat, so he melts.

Good riddance.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

9. The very nerve of people to point out

that he used EPA employees to try to find his wife a job or a Chik-Fil-A franchise; rented a discounted DC apartment from a lobbyist's wife; pent $150K of government money on first-class travel (because people in coach said mean things to him); spent millions of dollars for a 20-member full-time security detail; ordered a $43K soundproof phone booth for his office; had employees charge his hotel stays on their personal credit cards and didn't reimburse them; had EPA employees driving around looking for a special lotion from the Ritz-Carlton; allowed a former Comcast lobbyist to tag along to and help plan his six-figure, taxpayer-funded trip to Morocco; bought silver fountain pens for $3,200 to give away; dined with an alleged child abuser while on a taxpayer-funded trip to Rome and then tried to cover it up; directed an aide to get a used mattress from the Trump International Hotel; and spent $2,749.62 for “tactical pants” and “tactical polos.” Just to name a few. How terribly mean of people to mention such trivial incidents!

[lagomorph777]

19. So rude of you to list them all!

Or, all we know about so far. Wait 'til we learn what went on within his Cone of Silence!

[Yonnie3]

54. It's a personal attack!

Just because he personally did these things. How unfair and unpatriotic to attack him and keep him from his task of poisoning us all.

WOMP WOMP

14. what-a-load:

Scott Pruitt didn’t just spend millions on first-class travel to spread the gospel of how to turn the planet into a soot-stained outhouse, it was a holy calling. That wasn’t a private army he built, it was soldiers of the lord-what-a-load.

[The Genealogist]

36. Such melodrama

[bdamomma]

48. God

has nothing to do with this scum we have as FAKE pResident.

[blogslut]

11. So. Much. Servicing.

I feel icky.

[redwitch]

12. Poor Scottie!

Womp. Womp.

[Solly Mack]

13. They are all a bunch of thieving cry babies

[Cha]

15. Goes out a Whiny, Lying, Asshole who abused his

power.

[gratuitous]

16. Hey Scott

I heard there are some openings for rhino poachers right now. Sounds like the kind of job that would be right up your alley.

[lagomorph777]

21. I hear it's good to dab some wildebeest urine behind your ears when you go a'poachin'.

[IronLionZion]

18. Dude thinks "drain the swamp" means destroy wetlands

A mom holding her child ruined his lunch by asking him to resign, and he resigned. Maybe it really is that easy.

[lagomorph777]

20. It is unfortunate that lady had to ruin her child's lunch.

But she and her toddler are to be commended for bravery.

[IronLionZion]

22. The kid's next lunch might be more satisfying

knowing that Pruitt is out.

[lagomorph777]

25. Certainly mine will be.

[BigmanPigman]

23. If that is what it takes to get these crooks out than do it 100% all the

time with all of them! Hound them, tail them, harass them...that could be our weapon to use besides calling and writing letters and attending town halls.

[Freethinker65]

26. Bet he did not write that. Only signed it. That or he has serious mental health issues

[sheshe2]

35. I think that, "serious mental health issues"

Is a prerequisite when applying for a job in this WH.

[louis-t]

27. "improved environmental outcomes"?

[mahatmakanejeeves]

28. Keep up the good work. NT

[awesomerwb1]

29. WTF is wrong with this corrupt traitor

Why so servile sounding to dump?

That letter sounds like someone who's scared shitless of compromising stuff being put out about him by dump.

Goodness, what a wimp.

[muriel_volestrangler]

59. He's been so far inside the Trump regime that the only people who will give him a job in the future

are true Trump believers, or people looking for a flunky willing to abase himself completely. Either way, he has to publicly state his loving devotion to the Cult of Trump.

[OnDoutside]

30. womp womp

[suffragette]

31. Such a tough guy against the helpless; such a coward when faced with strength and conviction.

This is how the criminal cookie crumbles.

[Ilsa]

32. If only trump would take the harassment personally. (Sigh) nt

[DFW]

33. Unrelenting attacks, right

That, and the fact that probably twenty attorneys general are about to indict him for embezzlement and theft from the US Government..........

[0rganism]

34. hell, it's about time

[smirkymonkey]

37. I feel like I need a shower after reading that.

Why do all these republicans speak like they are so righteous and holy and yet at the same time behave like immoral, depraved criminals. Do they really experience no inner conflict or is it all just bullshit to them?

[CurtEastPoint]

38. Goddamn. Suck up much, asshole?

[Buns_of_Fire]

39. And may I say, sir, you have the tastiest ass I've ever kissed.

But I've milked this cow dry, so it's time to move on.

[hunter]

40. Plenty more in the Trump administration...

... worthy of unrelenting attacks.

[riversedge]

60. yup!

[lunasun]

41. Well bless you as well Scotty

Now fuck off


All hail by divine providence WTF

[spanone]

42. fuck you pruitt....you have the ethics of the man who put you in that office

none

[Bernardo de La Paz]

44. NOT unprecedented. Republicons & RWAF have been attacking Democrats that way for decades. . . . nt

[riversedge]

45. Crooked Pruitt is playing the victim. Everyone is picking on the swamp creature!!

[bdamomma]

46. Good riddance

You POS, you cost American taxpayers millions. Also I guess you didn't like to be approached by a mother who was questioning your practices at the EPA when you were eating too bad. Good riddance.

You caused enough damage to the environment I hope your AC breaks down then you can FEEL the heat.

[milestogo]

47. Poor, poor swamp creature.

[Tatiana]

49. I just wanna buy a gift for the teacher who confronted him dining.

And also congratulate Maxine Waters for encouraging the exercise of our first amendment rights.

[rockfordfile]

51. He's a crook

[CentralMass]

52. Boo Hoo.

[Bettie]

53. Personal Attacks such as

reporting on shit he has actually done. Poor little Scotty, always getting caught with his hand in the cookie jar.

[kacekwl]

55. Leave God out of it you

fucking sinner.
