News broke Wednesday that President-Elect Donald Trump had selected Oklahoma Attorney General, and active opponent to the Environmental Protection Agency, Scott Pruitt to lead that very same organization. Word of Trump’s latest pick sent liberal environmental groups into a panic along with networks CBS and NBC. “The president-elect filled more administration posts today, putting a global warming sceptic in charge of protecting the environment,” announced anchor Scott Pelley on CBS Evening News.

CBS’s Nancy Cordes bemoaned Trump’s climate change switcheroo from earlier in the week. “Al Gore's meeting with Mr. Trump the other day gave environmentalists hope, but that hope evaporated today when Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt was tapped to head the environmental protection agency,” she whined.

Well heck yeah. About time someone who's seen both sides of the picture was in charge. The ecowankers continue to 'believe' that only their ideas are the correct ones as shown by the msm assclowns. SO much winning.

Senate Pubbies, hear us well.

Because if a handful of nutjobs obstruct Trump’s picks
we’ll see to it that your party is OVER!!!!!

This is perhaps one of the most ardent wishes I have. To see that agency castrated beyond all recognition.

These two slogans should be repeated again and again.

Environmentalism = Economic Depression

Political Correctness = Intolerance

This is why I do not get bothered when the media puts their own interpretation on Trumps action. I will wait to see what Trump actually does.

They didn’t mention that he is one of 28 states Attorney Generals in on the law suit against the federal government?
He isn’t a one man wrecking crew bent on the EPA, he is with a majority of states screaming for relief for their citizens, because they listen to their constituents.

Put some ice on it, Al.

Well yeah. Anything contradictory to their way of thinking is a “bad” thing. Me, it sounds deeeeelicious. No more midnight raids because some dry creek bed on your property MAY someday get a splash of water in it.

I want him to uncover the corruption and graft at that agency and don't let Lisa Jackson who used a private email to thwart FOIA laws, get off without accountability. I want him to uncover all the "sue and settle" lawsuits they pretend to work out with enviormental groups. Remember many of the employees of Sierra Club and other environmental 501 C4 groups are working at the EPA, they are cycled in and out of there like they own the place, bastards.

Frankly, ALL of this government’s agencies are guilty of what you put on the EPA. HUD, IRS, FDA, FBI, DHS, et al - the list is as long as the organizational chart of the Executive Branch.

Make them big POSTERS, BILLBOARD signs, paint on the sides of buses, train cars, street cars, store windows and make lots and lots of bumper stickers.

Oh no. I have a puddle in my backyard right now. How will I know what to do with it if the EPA is dismantled?

And when it rains hard I have a stream in my backyard (1-2 feet wide and “protected” by my city) that flows to a river. I was hoping contact the EPA to find out what kind of canoe/boat to buy to get to the river with this “navigable waters”.

At least I won’t have to worry about fines/jail when I kill the “protected” insects in my backyard if the EPA is dismantled.
