Scott Pruitt Resigns

a reply to: shooterbrody

I just don't see any policy changes on the horizon

Nor do I. Policy is set by the administration.

At best this will bear out the fact that the administration seems to have problems with ethics. Of course, the base will make the same old excuses, but it wasn't just the base who put the administration in power.

Finally!

The first step towards Trump's promise of draining the swamp!

MAGA! Drain the Swamp!

Mad Maxine Minions! Far Left! NAFTA!! AntiNAFTA!! God Save THE QUEEN!! Because I... AM.... ANARCHY!!!

*about time*

Can we roll back the roll backs so we are back where we started?? Or do we have to wait for another wild swing of administrations which means more of the red v blue, right v left, crap continues here on ATS?

I'm not even paying attention! And ain't this one of Trump's nominees?? In all the slogan tossing, does anybody have a body count of Trump's "body count"?? (at least they are soft kills... you know who!).

This Leftist pushing rag has the Trump resigned/pushed out count at 33.

Yes. He needs to drain the swamp he created.

The Senate just voted to confirm his replacement in April. Do yo think they will now change their votes?
I do not. That is why I inquired as to what fight.

Sorry you feel I am a butt hole that was not my intent.

Yeah, he filled the swamp to the point of overflow so that he could do a little draining.

He's got a knack for the for ol' "problem/reaction/solution" formula.

1) Create a problem.
2) Illicit a reaction.
3) Offer a solution to the problem you created.

His supporters eat it up like it's the cure for cancer since they're intentionally blind to the fact that the majority of the problems he "solves" are entirely of his own creation.

The first to be bullied out by Maxxine's Minions!

He seems to be a little crooked anyway.

A little??? Try a shedload crooked and then double it up. The man is the subject of I don't know how many ethics investigations.

They confirmed Wheeler as Deputy.

How did the confirmation for Pruitt go?

Hope the new guy continues Pruitt's work to destroy the AGW scam.

You mean ignoring scientific evidence and racking up bribes? Yes, of course they will!

There is no scientific evidence to show that AGW is a major issue.
There are only demonstrably flawed models.

Do you think the nomination vote will be any different?

The trying to roll back gas standards makes me shake my head.

That is the sum total of what I know about the guy (and it may have been just a freeze with the plans of rolling it back sometime in the future). Ultimate yes man.

¡Aye caramba!

PS - And something about Deepwater Horizon that sounded like a joke.

Wheeler is the Acting Director. There is no nomination vote on. He can continue to be the Acting Director for 210 days with no further action from the administration.

Let's see what the Senate looks like then.

The Senate will almost certainly still be majority Republican.

We'll see what happens.

That's completely false.

Our country deserves so much better than this moocher. We also need someone who will protect our environment, which seems to be to much to ask for at this point.

POTUS enjoys shooting wild animals for sport.... Protecting the environment will take a back seat.

No, it really isn't.
None of the modelled predictions have been anywhere close to reality. Fact.

You are mistaken.

Climate models published since 1973 have generally been quite skillful in projecting future warming. While some were too low and some too high, they all show outcomes reasonably close to what has actually occurred, especially when discrepancies between predicted and actual CO2 concentrations and other climate forcings are taken into account.

But lets just rag on Pruitt, because that's the topic.

You think McConnell won't force a vote before the midterms?
