[LMAO!] Scott Pruitt quits as head of US environment agency

[siablo14]

Scandal-hit Scott Pruitt has resigned as head of the US Environmental Protection Agency.

President Donald Trump said Mr Pruitt had done "an outstanding job, and I will always be thankful to him".

But Mr Pruitt has been embroiled in allegations of ethics violations for months.

His deputy Andrew Wheeler will take over as acting head of the agency, Mr Trump .


Yes. The nasty *****er is gone.

[5burowz]

Well...it isn't the most sturdy of cabinets, that's for sure. Pruitt stunk to high heaven.

[Mooshashi]

One more deplorable out the door.

Scott Pruitt is a disgrace. He's a piece of filth. What a disgrace to America.

[GrandmasterWang]

Good, corrupt piece of **** should never have been put in that position.

Pure scum.

Scott Pruitt’s Replacement Is Even Worse

Just one year ago, Andrew Wheeler worked as one of the coal industry’s most powerful lobbyists, serving as coal baron Bob Murray’s Capitol Hill muscle, challenging environmental regulations and casting doubt on the science behind climate change.

On Monday, Wheeler will take over at the Environmental Protection Agency, after Administrator Scott Pruitt’s sudden resignation Thursday amid a five-month avalanche of ethics and legal controversies.

Wheeler’s ascension, while expected to return stability to the scandal-struck EPA, demonstrates how the administration secured the future of its radical plan to dismantle the nation’s leading public health agency at the behest of the industries it regulates, amid the distractions of Pruitt’s humiliating final months as the agency’s second-shortest-serving administrator in history.

“He will be potentially considerably more effective, both because you don’t have the daily drama that you’ve had for the last several months and because Andy knows how the system works,” said Stan Meiburg, a former acting deputy EPA administrator who spent 39 years at the agency. “He could be more effective for the administration in achieving its policy objectives.”

Two right-wing operatives who run separate climate denial blogs shared the same reaction to Wheeler’s promotion: “Winning.”

Lmfao!! You liberals got the scalp you wanted, and now his replacement is even better for the opposition.

The Law of Unintended Consequences strikes again.

When will you grubers ever grasp that concept?

Lmfao!! You liberals got the scalp you wanted, and now his replacement is even better for the opposition.

If given an option to vote on the two now, I'd vote for Wheeler

Scum Pruitt going is a good thing. That doesn't mean for a second I approve of the choice of replacement. Neither are worthy.

It is all very 1984, people who look to exploit and damage the environment for a $ are the ones in charge of the so called "Environmental Protection Agency"

Even if they replaced this new douchebag it's incredibly unlikely that an actual environmental protectionist would be put in charge.

That's the state of the world we live in today.

Doesn't mean I'm not glad to see scumbag Pruitt gone.

Both are more worthy than lifer politicians who usually fill the job.

Spare us the Chicken Little scare tactics you guys have been spewing since before I was even born.

There's a reason GDP growth under Trump is beating Obama's growth so quickly, and regulation cuts a key reason.

When you get government mandates and red tape out of the way, our private sector economy booms.
