It appears Trump supporters have stopped even trying to defend Scott Pruitt's character.

"If the allegations are true, keeping secret calendars and altering or deleting records of meetings could violate federal law as either “falsifying records” or hiding public records."

How this guy even has a job is amazing. Just goes to show how corrupt this administration actually is.

I'm starting to think corruption is a job requirement as it is indicative of their ability to be "persuaded". Wouldn't want any of those rules or ethics to get in the way.

Pruitt is the most corrupt of all the Trump toadies. If it makes any difference, he probably wasn't paying for dinner on his own dime. Likely paid by his lobbyist masters.

Here you go...



This would happen to me once... after that, there will be a plan in place to handle these types of disruptions.

Again as I said on page 1 - mind numbed robot reading someone else's talking points.

I have read this woman who confronted Pruitt while he was eating at a restaurant was a teacher. How would this teacher feel if parents of her students upset with how she treated their children or disagreed with what she was teaching interrupted her family while eating in a restaurant, out at a park, at the grocery store and started to berate her? what if these same parents decided to picket her house to protest her teaching methods or treatment of their child and yell while her baby was sleeping?

All of those parents are afforded an opportunity to attend parent-teacher conferences to air their grievances. And if that doesn't fit their schedules, they can arrange to meet with her at a time better suited to them.

The public isn't granted that access to tRump's cabinet.

Pruitt brazenly invites the public's scorn. No one should express fake outrage when he gets a teaspoon of it occasionally.

More like a taxpayer confronting a government employee for doing a bad job. Also, Scott Pruitt is under endless ethics violations and on the front page of the Washington Post today:

Pruitt aides reveal new details of his spending and management at EPA
https://www.washingtonpost.com/natio...nl_most&wpmm=1

But like Trump, they ignore all of it while cheering when Joe Wilson screamed "You lie" at a State of the Union address to the approval of Republicans everywhere.

I'm not talking about Scott Pruitt. If he is corrupt, as many are in high government and private positions, then I hope he is booted from his position. My contention is over comments like these:


"This man is directly and significantly harming my child's -- and every child's -- health and future with decisions to roll back environmental regulations for the benefit of big corporations


He's not minding his own business when he trashes regulations that results in environmental factors that can affect millions.
The U.S. will become a third world nation if our environment goes to hell..........The guy is a menace to our nation.

I asked for knowledge (not an article listing vague projections) of just what significant harm, destruction of health and future, environmental factors, affects and how the US environment is going to hell due to rolling back some of Obama eras environmental regulations. For those who seem to know what specific regulations are being nixed and how it is going to affect millions, please share.

So that makes it ok because every individual in the US can not make an appointment with members of the cabinet to air their personal grievances?
So if I have a grievance with any department head, politician or government employee and I cant get a personal audience its ok to harass and call them out on their own personal time in public venues?
Well bloody hell this going to get interesting.
