Why doesn’t he just change the name of the agency already?

He needs to work on his Beam Score.

Well, you can’t really expect the head of the EPA to assist Trump in “draining the swamp”, it goes against current wetlands protections.

I came in here for a “christ, what an asshole”, “late stage capitalism” or perhaps an amusing reportraiture… must be Rob’s day off

I’m having unpleasant interactions with other travelers’ vehicle emissions on a daily basis!

Pruitt told the House Energy and Commerce Committee that “It’s necessary for me to be able to do my job.”

Well, it is. How can he choose who to pander to if he can’t have a secure facility for negotiating bribes?

Somehow I get the idea that the “unpleasant interactions with other travelers” is not entirely attributed to the other travelers (and crew) but a direct reflection of his plus-sized attitude.

Perhaps his next flight should be on con air under the care of the US Marshals.

Shouldn’t equal attention be paid to the requests he made that were denied? Eg, $70,000 for bullet-proof desks, a bullet-proof limousine, $100k/month executive jet lease, etc.

They show all the bad decisions he would make if an adult weren’t in the room.

It was easiest just to keep the acronym but change the “P” to stand for “Pollution.” That way they were able to keep all the vanity license plates.

Did anyone see the “Onion” line from years back – “EPA drops the E and the P from its name” ??
