[farming pharmer]

She didn’t resign...she retired to a PLUSH federal pension no doubt.

Complete with lump sum payouts and cost of living adjustments. She'll live another 30 years with a > $100,000/year pension.

[Freedom_Is_Not_Free]

Woohoo! DRAIN THE SWAMP.

[Dr.Deth]

there are still people who do care, so we want to know that, trees

[lurk]

She’s been in the dept for 30 years. She likely believes that the EPA exists to use raw force on US citizens even if the Constitution is ignored.

[exit82]

LOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!

[Skooz]

A solid 6 opus.

Well done. Now, go away.

[FatherofFive]

“The truth is there is NO war on coal, there is NO economic crisis caused by environmental protection, and climate change IS caused by man’s activities,”

TRUTH doesn't mean what she thinks it means.

[The Toll]

Pouring gasoline on yourself and setting aflame is a much bigger opus.

[SgtHooper]

This is a win, IF, a big FREAKIN’ IF, this ditz is replaced by a Conservative, or the like, and NOT, I say NOT, another liberal or GOPe scumbag. Trump, strip rats from the EPA all the way down the managerial tree. Do it NOW!!

[dfwgator]

Adios.

[deadrock]

Ain’t that the truth.

[Vendome]

After 30 years she retired....

Stupid...

[Cen-Tejas]

Betsy, 3 million gallons of hard core chemicals spilled into the Animas River by YOUR EPA under your watch reminds us all once again how a bureaucrat like you simply cannot be believed or taken seriously by the American people.

[gov_bean_ counter]

I’ve seen better opi on FR. Meh.

[_longranger81]

One down. What, 80,000 or so to go?

[CdMGuy]

One less Federal bureaucrat disrupting the life of Americans. MAGA. Winning is GREAT.

[Patriot Babe]

That looks like a man wearing a wig

[caww]

Hard to tell the difference when it's a Demorat women ..they all seem to have rough features....for whatever reason they loose their feminine qualities.....

[JayGalt]

No tired of winning yet!

[SmokingJoe]

One never gets tired of winning.

“It’s hard to believe that Elizabeth Southerland is retiring because of a budget proposal and not because she’s eligible for her government pension,” EPA spokesman Jahan Wilcox told Environment & Energy Publishing in an email.
