cott Pruitt's polarizing tenure as head of the Environmental Protection Agency has come to an end.
President Donald Trump tweeted on Thursday that he has accepted Pruitt's resignation.
The departure follows months of scrutiny that gathered momentum following reports that Pruitt had rented a Capitol Hill condominium linked to an energy lobbyist on favorable terms. The revelation exacerbated concerns about the high cost of Pruitt's travel and security detail and triggered a flood of allegations that Pruitt fostered a culture of workplace retaliation, wasteful spending and self-dealing at EPA.

Perry said he believes in man made global warming. No and no!
buh bye.
"...brace yourself and expect to see more of their type of behaviour..."
All this hype around Perry. Hes always announcing how much more we are going to spend on Energy infrastructure, and never announces how much hes cut.
He's supposed to be a bright guy. He gave the maniacs way too much fodder to complain about. The argument "the dems are worse" doesn't cut it. Reduced rate rents from those he might have to rule on and secret appointment books are way too swampthingy.
I wish President Trump would fill some positions with true Deplorables who aren't connected to DC goings on or Deep State culture. Simple folk like you and me from the real world.
Ah chit!! This will embolden the enemy to hunt down ALL of trump’s cabinet..WTF Pruitt you let them push you out...he took the cowards way out!!! Damn!!
busy today, eh?
I thank Scott Pruitt for his service and I'm sure that Andrew Wheeler will step in and do a great job as well.
Cowardly?

Arguably the worst pick Trump has made by far. Only because of this. He resigned and in his letter (visible to all the world) admitted it was because of the attacks on him and his family.
Look for these attacks and protests to amp up to the point where no one wants to work for Trump. Really, really bad that this was not anticipated and dealt with well before it came to this.
Didn’t have the stomach for the fight.
Truth hurt?
what truth, specifically, is that?
Yeah, I dont like the timing or the optics of this.
The old saw "Be careful what you wish for..." comes to mind.
Whats Sarah Palin doing these days?
She's probably having a victory party with her friends. Don't project conservative values onto liberals: they have no shame.
Pruitt did himself no favors when she approached him. He continued to sit at his little table and shrunk into himself, peeking up at her like a little boy being scolded by mommy or a teacher. In the first place, a gentleman stands when a lady is standing. She was standing and holding her toddler and invading his space. If he had stood up and looked down at her from his greater height, he could have made her step back unconsciously. If he had invited her to sit down to chat with him, or had given her a phone number for her make an appointment to talk, so that he could finish his lunch in peace, he might have defused the situation. He might have leveled the playing field via assertive but not aggressive body language. By cringing there, he surrendered. Publicly.
Yep. See post 36.
It's not believing in made-made global warming that's the problem
The problem is believing that A.) it's catastrophic and B.) the only solution is to bankrupt our economy with regulations and wealth transfer.
Conservatives botched the message with their denials. From the beginning the answer to the question of made-made global warming should always have been, "Yeah, so what?"
Great idea!
Wouldn't that make their heads spin.
