More fake news:
Embattled EPA chief Scott Pruitt resigns amid ethics scandals (http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/embattled-epa-chief-scott-pruitt-resigns-amid-ethics-scandals/ar-AAzDsdi?ocid=ientp)
This is probably my favorite resignation yet. Guy who holds a personal vendetta against the EPA (most likely because he can't maximize his earnings) gets to lead the EPA. Good riddance.
Lets talk ethics for a minute shall we

I loved when Trump put him in charge. EPA is easily the most bogus agency in the alphabet soup. BUT an idiot is an idiot, so goodbye and good riddance. He likely will have more issues than just resigning.

I would disagree. To me they are probably one of the most important. Regulating and protecting our national common resources should be one of the most important thing the federal government does.

The EPA today is far off kilter, thats why i liked Pruitt's hiring. Sometimes in any organization, and especially in ones that affect huge amounts of life liberty and pursuit of happiness ideals, you need to bring in antagonistic voices to ensure you aren't out in lala land.

Problem is “life liberty and the pursuit of happiness “ becomes, “greed theft and the pursuit of more” when you put a dipshit like Pruitt in charge. The only thing lala about the land is that he and the potus don’t believe in climate change. That they are not concerned about future generations but only their immediate selfish needs.

My guess is for every one Scott Pruitt thinker in the EPA, there are 1000 who think a blue fisted mexican mole rat's habitat is more important than a business' survival. It's not, and should never be. So if you get a guy in there every 12 or 16 years that resets the balance of ideas, there is good in that.

To be expected, (bash media time) The msm hypes the fear, the terror, the utter collapse of ecological systems because of 1 man's temporary tenure. Then demonize him, harrass him and his family, ultimately get him to resign. Then claim he in fact did nothing of substance.
It epitomizes the progressive movements extreme tactics these past 2 years. Stalin himself would be proud.
