This just MADE MY DAY!!!!!!!!!!!

Because of an activity I love, I did volunteer work for that cause & the majority of people who also do it are Envirowhackos. I kept my head down & my mouth shut because I was badly outnumbered - the one time I spoke up (one-on-one situation), the person I was “discussing” an issue with got very nasty & made it personal. Anyway, two years ago, I gave up that activity, but am still in very occasional touch with a couple of the people in that group. I can tell you that they are going to be SUICIDAL over Pruitt being head of the EPA. The venom will be dripping knee deep every time his name comes up & they will probably be bald from tearing their hair out in frustration. They are also on the Social Justice bandwagon - anything Trump will further enhance their mental illness. I cannot begin to tell you how HAPPY all of this makes me.

BTW, the next time I have to see any of them socially (probably at the funeral of the next one in the group who dies - that was the occasion of the last time I saw a bunch of them), I will be wearing my Ivanka Trump perfume.

“Wait until the EPA releases a directive stating that Global Warming is not an event caused by mankind.”

Or there is no GW in the first place.

“Hopefully there is nothing in all those emails the judge ordered released next Tuesday.”

That is a bit of a worry. You could take almost anyone’s e-mail and with enough slicing and dicing make it into something. No doubt Chuckee S or Chuckee Todd will be looking for something, anything.

Another good win. There have been losses (Labor was self-inflicted and should have withdrawn his name sooner, plus General Flynn was taken down by Ctrl-Left moles inside our government), but it’s mostly big wins.

I just pray that President Trump will continue doing the right thing, build the wall, deport illegals, repeal Obamacare, and cut the size of FedGov - quickly on all of them before outside events intervene.

Actually it was bipartisan with Heitkamp and Manchin supporting Pruitt.

This process has been unbelievable this week. The more manical dems were so unhinged with their overnight whinefest and other maneuvers. It would've been impossible (except for that idiot Collins) for anyone to come over to their side because of their antics.

One can only conclude that they don't want to stop the confirmations. What they want is the issue as something to rally their voters.

They got their scalps with Flynn (undeserved) and Pruitt (deserved...too much pro-invader history).

Now, it's time for President Trump and AG Sessions to DRAIN THE SWAMP!!

What’s the EPAs equivalent to State’s 7th floor?

Regardless,they all need to go. It’s an open secret that over the decades, but especially under Obama, the EPA has long outsourced almost all its “research” and policy work to the Sierra Club and other leftwing environmental organizations.

AGREED. Pruitt needs to clean house COMPLETELY. If your and EPA employee from the Obama years “YOU’RE FIRED!”

The dems are trying to make Trumps team appear to be partisan and controversial by party lining every appointment. Years from now, this will be looked back upon as a second moment in our history when people took back the reigns of government, without violence, but not without a fight. Lets hope the establishment that is fighting to keep its power over the people today will have been relegated to the trash heap by then.
