David Hogg, the teenager who goes around with an armed guard escort everywhere?

You mean flying first class didn't make him avoid all the liberals?

David Hogg was the first name that comes to mind since his family was recently swatted. Dude is getting death threats out the ass (as is everyone in politics these days, I'm sure) and hasn't #walkedaway. So why would Scott Pruit? Is it because he is a snowflake?
Go ahead, google any name in politics + threats. The "liberals" are awful busy threatening all of these people
Secondly, are you seriously doing this??? Scott Pruit...

He screwed up ethics wise. No lies detected. I dont think the room he rented doesnt count imo.
Guy who is filling his spot tho is 100% on board with Trumps agenda anyway so, meh.

remember hearing a story about him on npr and how he wanted a bulletproof desk, cars, private jets, secret service protection, etc and that he expected these fringe benefits on par with what you'd see the president have. he just seems like a self important dbag.

No the David Hogg who survived the Stoneman Douglas High School shooting.

You sure he didn't jump on his bicycle and ride to the school when he heard it was happening?
I thought he was that anti-gun guy.
Are you saying that he has people with guns guarding him?
It only took about a million scandals.
Anyway, this is way off-topic.
Those people most likely have proper training and claerad background checks which is entire the point. Nice gotcha, though.

This is good news. Hopefully this time around Congress does its job and clears someone less polarizing and more qualified for the position.

Remember when Trump described his administration as "Running like a fine tuned machine" ? lol

Saved comments due to the holiday week.
Scott Pruitt will likely go down as one of the worst appointees to office in the history of US government from both a policy and scandal perspective. I am sure he will find a lucrative career as a lobbyist for big oil.
I tire of making the argument of climate change, and it's pointless to do so at this point in time. I will say we will need your help as rightists to help be "stewards of the land" and restore your historical roots as conservationists. Until you join the fight to help us implement measures to slow climate change, it will continue to build into a larger problem; one that a fully free market, without regulatory guidance will be slow, and insufficient, to respond to.
I think people who freely accuse the EPA of overreaching really need to consider what the Trump administration has intended for the EPA. If you ask me what the most egregious overreach the EPA committed, it's easily the "mini mountain range" designation for plowed feels. That's ridiculous, and that, is indeed, an overreach. Clean air, clean water, and a sustainable environment are all core tenets of the EPA.
The EPA needs to be addressing:
Climate change
Water conservation in the West, and water quality throughout the US
Decline in insect population, and working with the DoA to encourage mixed crop agriculture to reduce use of pesticides and herbicides
Addressing the phenomenon of residential petrol and natural gas extraction, which is particularly relevant in the Denver metro, which likely needs regulation; which is the opposite of what the Trump administration is doing - encouraging a ban on local petrol/herbicide/insecticide regulations that exceed federal standards on a state and local level [where is the rightist opposition to this?]
Helping our agriculture and mining communities increase the quality and safety of our rural and mountain waterways. I think this should be done through riverbank management - encouraging or paying land owners to preserve boundary areas along the riverbeds to capture particulate runoff before entering the waterways, and obvious assistance with capturing mining run-off before it can get anywhere near streams [and yes, the oft regarding "dry streams" that Rightists and coal Centrists decry in EPA and House Science Committee hearings are indeed streams]
Continuing protection of our threatened and endangered species
Our current administration is opposed to every single thing I listed above. Are you?

Good post.
Overall, the EPA is just a political show. A "look, we're taking action, therefore we are fixing the environment. Trump is so evil because he isn't raising MPG standards on cars." Meanwhile, I'm really excited for that new mega shopping center that we bulldozed a huge forest for.

The EPA is not a political show, they set standards for things such as not drinking mercury or inhaling toxic fumes.
China stopped fucking around around when they realized their pollution was literally killing their citizens. Now they are the leading in green sustainable energy.
What kind of fucking peyote are you people eating that has you believing that the EPA of all things is just a political show?
Flint still doesn't have clean drinking water.
