Went fishing with my Trump-loving GOP buddies tonight - they hated Pruitt
and were glad to see him gone.
= new reply since forum marked as read
They were not going to vote for HRC - tribalism trumps common sense.
They were the ones that told me that Pruitt had resigned - I had no idea.
One leaned over and said gleefully to the other - "Pruitt resigned!"
I said "Whaaaa!!??"
There is a reason that we cannot eat the fish we caught tonight on regular basis - mercury contamination.
From coal-fired power plants.
We ALL know this.
And we ALL know that global warming is real - we all have seen this growing up and growing old in Maine (we're life-long skiing buddies).
That, and Pruitt's famous penchant to spend "their" tax money on fountain pens, first-class tickets, etc.
This offended the "fiscal responsibility" side of their brains - lol.
They are both retiring - and heavily invested in "Trump's Great Stock Market" - which will tank as he result of Trump's stupid trade war. I kept my mouth shut - they will have to deal with this when it happens.
I have known them for decades and we have civil low-key conversations about Maine politics - and they know I'm a liberal Democrat.
But sometimes it's all I can do from - 
Finally, we're having blackened panko-crusted Maine white perch and Asian coleslaw tacos Sat. Nite.
Yum!
His comrade said he would get his ass kicked - series.
I agreed.
He shut up after that and we got down to fishing.
