As Oklahoma Attorney General, Scott Pruitt was a committed serial murderer. His aim was to kill Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rules on behalf of his corporate cronies through endless lawsuits, not caring one wit for the havoc his murder would reap upon our nation’s air, water, and children. That was then.

That was then.
Now Pruitt is head of the nation’s top agency charged with protecting our natural world. He recently claimed that vehicle emission standards should be lowered because there are people who don’t want their vehicles to get good gas mileage. Say what?
He must be talking about the same twistie ties who like to shoot bears in hibernation and lions sunning themselves on the veld, or who think it’s OK for the president (if he’s Republican) to lie “bigly” each day, covert with Russian agents, and pay off porn stars so he can become president because, bottom line, money and power is all that counts. And being a sprog of Trumpdom, Pruitt has unsurprisingly continued his — and this administration’s — mission of lying to and stealing tax money from hardworking Americans for the benefit of industry handlers and personal power.
Pruitt should be tossed out on his deaf ears. But impeachment for Trump? No thanks. We the people don’t want to revisit this hellhole of an administration with a President Pence. We want a new, clean election: no Russian meddling, no porn stars, no gerrymandering, no gadzillions of shady campaign “donations.” We need to drain this swamp of an administration now (actually swamps are valuable wetlands, so wrong analogy). Otherwise, our democracy, our people, and our planet will be irreparably torn to shreds.
