Well that’s a shame, but I suppose he has to assume he’s surrounded by traitors.

Wonder if the results from the sweep warranted the booth.

Sounds good to me.

Every penny of the EPA's budget that Pruitt squanders on crap like soundproof phone booths is one penny that can't be spent enforcing the EPA's economy-killing regulations.

Uhh, where was the GAO during the Obama administration? Were they asleep?

Pruitt is the target of the left. They want him out now. Don’t go wobbly Donald. Pruitt stays.

WTF ever....

It's not like he's flying around in a private jet with cocktails paid for by the taxpayer

But that single receipt makes up just part of the more than $101,000 taxpayers paid for “in-flight services” – including food and liquor, for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s trips on Air Force jets over the last two years. That’s almost $1,000 per week.

Documents obtained under the Freedom of Information Act by Judicial Watch, which investigates and prosecutes government corruption, show Pelosi incurred expenses of some $2.1 million for her use of Air Force jets for travel over that time.

Pruitt seems to have judgement issues. Trumps appointees have got to be way above the DC norm in their behavior and spending. Their being so was one of President’ Trump’s promises.

The GAO, spending profligately then blowing the whistle on the best Agency Head Trump has. Trump has really fallen down on the job of "draining the swamp," and it hurts his effort at change every damned day!

Read this article.

I believe that the Elites actually think they're going to regain control, and things will go on as before.

But my lengths of boiled rope are whispering to me that things are never going to be the same...    winking face

Pruitt seems to have judgement issues.

Only real "issue" Pruitt's got is HE HASN'T GOT HIS NOSE UP THE SIERRA CLUB OR GEORGE SORO'S BUTT.

If only he'd just bow down before the august authority of the 'Swampers, environazis and every democrat in sight as he should, everything would be rainbows and skittles and the media would just loooooove him.

...or maybe we should all just accept the fact that Pruitt's doing an excellent job managing (i.e. cleaning up) one of the most corrupt, autocratic, wasteful and brain dead organizations our Federal government's ever inflicted on the country and his very existence is in jeopardy because of the good work he's doing.

(Seriously, if Pruitt needs some help with those [BLEEPS] in the EPA, maybe he should put out a call to the Oil Patch or Coal Miners...or Loggers, or Farmers, or Ranchers..... Only problem is the Pier Six brawl that'd establish which of those groups got to "help" first.)

$43,000? The Obamas spent significantly more then that on catering just the food for one party

Well to be fair if the carpenters used some of the famous $15,000.00 hammers then costs could have overrun. /S

Boy; install a device that prevents the deep state from eavesdropping and suddenly it’s an outrage! But lie to get FISA warrants to violate people’s fourth amendment rights is no problem.

I have a stack of cardboard egg cartons here for that very purpose. I could have let them go for $50.

I’m sure the previous admin did far worse.

$43,000?
The House spent significantly more paying off their mistresses
