Hereā€™s more video of the guy. Heā€™s apparently got a long history of being a menace.

ETA: Facing new federal charges. He could spend the rest of his life in jail.

Of course they do.

I wouldnā€™t count on it. Putin lies just a fluently as Trump. Though I think he lies for reasons instead of just because thatā€™s what pours forth from him like an overflowing cup.

Anyway, Iā€™m more interested in why Putin wants me to think that right now than I am in whether itā€™s true.

Just when you thought Scott Pruitt couldnā€™t give any more, he digs deep and delivers.

ā€œRaises the specter ofā€? Jesus Christ. Enlisting your EPA aide to help someone find a job is misuse of your public office. Helping your spouse find a job is private gain. Scott Pruitt did this.

No necromancy is needed to form the sentence ā€œScott Pruitt misused their public office for private gain.ā€

Pruittā€™s laundry list of scandals:

He reportedly ordered raises for two aides, despite the White House rejecting his request. He later said he was unaware of the raises.

He spent $3 million of taxpayer funds on an extensive security detail, which was three times bigger than his predecessorā€™s.

Biometric locks were installed on his office doors for $5,700, Politico reports.
He came under fire for renting a bedroom near Capitol Hill from a lobbyist for $50 a night. He told the Washington Examiner: ā€œIā€™m dumbfounded that thatā€™s controversial.ā€

The agency installed a $43,000 private phone booth in his office.

He has spent over $105,000 on first-class flights, per Politico, citing ā€œthreats to his safety.ā€

He had a tendency to want to use flashing lights and sirens on his motorcade to cut through D.C. traffic ā€” including at least one trip to a popular French restaurant, Le Diplomate.

A former Comcast lobbyist helped the agency set up a trip to Morocco in December, which cost $100,000, despite original claims that it would cost $40,000.

Pruitt accepted seats at a University of Kentucky basketball game for him and his son from a billionaire coal executive.

His staff spent over $1,500 on fountain pens, CNN reported, and more than $1,600 on journals.

His director of scheduling and advance says Pruitt asked her to perform personal tasks, which included a request for a Trump hotel mattress.

His limo should have a ā€œMafia Lifeā€ sticker on the back window.

Heā€™s just so patriotic that he had to make up some new lyrics on the spot to show how patriotic he is.

Iā€™d like to propose this as the new national anthem while weā€™re at it:

Iā€™ve always respected for Kanye. No matter how crazy and egotistical he got, I always remembered him as the guy who said, ā€œGeorge Bush doesnā€™t care about black peopleā€ on live TV.

But now I sort of wonder if this isnā€™t a bit like a favourite quote of mine from Thomas Massie:

After some soul searching I realized when they voted for Rand and Ron and me in these primaries, they werenā€™t voting for libertarian ideas ā€” they were voting for the craziest son of a bitch in the race.

Maybe Kanye has just always been the craziest son-of-a-bitch in the room.

Honestly, Iā€™m surprised that people would expect him to know the lyrics. Isnā€™t it a bit obscure?

Thereā€™s a current theory floating around that his current pro-Trump, ā€œslavery was a choiceā€ outbursts are elements of some sort of complex Kaufman-esque performance art.

If it is, I really hope he breaks character sooner rather than later because what heā€™s doing has the potential for real and lasting damage (and I have to wonder that if it is some sort of performance art, whatā€™s the point?).

Even by Trumpā€™s standards, Pruitt is astonishingly corrupt. And smug. If the two of them were put head to head for a smug-off, Iā€™m not sure whoā€™d win.

Donā€™t believe the hype; Black folks are done fucking with Kanye for good after that ā€œslavery was a choiceā€ bullshit.

To quote Janelle Monae:

Heā€™s disinvited to The Cookout.

Ghetto Pass has been revoked?

Good.

(As Ice Cubeā€™s True to the Game just came up in my iTunesā€¦ seems very appropriate in the context of this conversation.)
