The Senate confirmed President Donald Trump's nominee, Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt, to lead the Environmental Protection Agency on Friday in a mostly party line vote.

Well, I’m in no position to talk. At least she voted R a majority of the time.

I have two of the biggest @@@holes in the world from NY

And the LEAD ####### in Schmucky Schemer.

McCain is a traitor. He never misses an opportunity to abuse Trump and ridicule his policies. It’s almost as if he’s being paid to do so?????????

Not critizing you just the article Freeper friend.

[GOPJ]

The Dems look so stupid with their all nighter...which no one attends anyways.

Yeah, you're right.

[dearolddad]

Chucky loses... again.

One of the very few things that up-Chucky is good at!

[dearolddad]

More winning and I’m still not sick of it!

Almost as much fun as multi-orgasams every day!(and I am almost eighty years old)

[dearolddad]

McCain is useless.

McCain is not completely useless: He can always serve as a BAD example.

[AbolishCSEU]

I work with an envirowhacko lib/greenie; her job is to make maps all day from satellite photos to “better plan” how the gov’t will tell you what to do with your land.

Her husband is also an environmental whacko tree hugger (works as a “forrester” for a local offshoot of the EPA. He LITERALLY had a computer wallpaper of him hugging a tree I kid you not!

she is NOT looking too happy these days.
Oh and BTW they live in a GATED lily-white community with their young two brainwashed daughters.

[Rockitz]

Time to take out the chain saw and do some Pru-ning!

[Salvation]

Go, Scott Pruitt.

[CyberAnt]

NOW, the real work begins.

THE PURGING OF THE “CLIMATE CHANGE” PEOPLE.

If these people are not removed from this Department, it will never be able to do it’s job.

Take the lead from Rex Tillerson - who just cleaned house in the State Dept.

Purging the Obama/Clinton people IS IMPERATIVE, IF YOU EVER WANT TO CHANGE WHAT HAPPENS IN THESE DEPARTMENTS.

[PeterPrinciple]

Go to the department that ordered guns, ammo and military hardware for the EPA. Fire the lot of them

---

Wouldn’t it be interesting to see guns and ammo show up as govt surplus

[Magnum44]

I absolutely want to see that. The various govt departments need to liquidate a whole lot of property stolen from the public with tax dollars

[bray]

Still waiting for John InSaine to cross the aisle and vote with the Repubs.

McCain is useless.

False; Sen. McCain has voted for most of the nominees (voted no on only one), and we need his vote. He is going to disappoint sometimes, that's the way it is.

Why the people of AZ keep putting this guy back in office just befuddles me. Good grief AZ...come on in for the big win will ya!

Side note. Watched Trump's press briefing last evening off of youtube. It was great. Trump to me seemed tired. Very level tone. He did a great job.

[knarf]

No, keep it defendable.

[Republican Wildcat]

Every vote has been along party lines. They need to just invoke the nuclear option and be done with it.

That was already done years ago by Harry Reid. This is why Trump's nominees have been able to make it through so easily on party line votes to limit debate vs. the 60 votes needed before to limit debate.

Maybe not, you’very got sick people in America who can use less smog in their air.
