Paranoia, Maybe?

October 23, 2017 By: Juanita Jean Herownself Category: Uncategorized

Okay, something ain’t right with Scott Pruitt over at the EPA.  The latest ain’t right thing is that he has gone crazy over getting more security for himself.

During his first quarter as EPA administrator he has nearly double what the two previous administrators spent on security.  Christy Todd Whitman walked herself to work.

Pruitt wants twelve new security agents on top of the 24 hour protection he now has.  That means $2 million a year in salaries alone.  On top of that is the soundproof booth he wants inside his private office, where the door is always locked even when he’s there.  That’s creepy.

Why does he need all this?

“We have at least four times — four to five times the number of threats against Mr. Pruitt than we had against Ms. McCarthy,” said assistant inspector general Patrick Sullivan, referring to Gina McCarthy, who held the post under President Barack Obama.

Look, it’s not like the Sierra Club has declared actual war on this guy and Lord knows that polluters love the hell outta him.  Who exactly is out to get him?  That right there – that’s what worries me.

So what’s the deal?

My theory is that all the cabinet members are playing a game with each other to see who can spend the most damn money on themselves.

Thanks to everybody for the heads up.

  1. Can’t really think of any environmental organizations who actually want to off the guy. But maybe he knows something we don’t, or he’s playing a game of King Of The Hill as in I have more security staff and a soundproof room and you don’t nanny nanny boo boo!

    There are so many cowards orbiting around Dotard45’s maladministration that someone should contact the CDC.

  3. Maybe Pruitt knows how polluted he’s making the world, and each new security agent is a specialist who can determine if Pruitt himself is being exposed to a dangerously high level of; radiation, ultra violet rays, lead, mercury, toxic rainwater runoff, etc etc…

  4. Or maybe he’s getting ready to do something that he knows will make him some enemies.

    I’m with maggie–it’s some weird game of one upsmanship in spending the taxpayers’ money that this whole administration seems to be playing. Either that, or he’s as nuts as his boss. On further thought, maybe both.

  8. If I had any guns I wouldn’t mind taking a shot at him, thanks to all the damage he’s doing and the greater damage he’ll do if he stays in office.

  9. Pruitt’s paranoid for good reason, he knows how his fellow crooks think. One can’t be too cautious around the likes of short fuses Trump or Bannon.

  11. We repeatedly prove at election times that all these gooners are replaceable. Why do any of them get protection ??

    This attitude has a lot to do with those death threats; https://thinkprogress.org/epa-silences-more-scientists-25a5af44a0d4/

    He thinks, since he’s going in the Rapture soon, we should use up all the resources and foul the environment for money, ’cause it’s all going to non-believers anyways.

    god, I love Oklahoma!

  13. Charles: I saw a guy today who had on a t-shirt that says “There is only one Oklahoma” My thoought: Thank God!

  14. AK Lynne: That was the first thing I thought too.
    Charles R Phillips: Your second sentence is a fact. One of the last times I times I actually talked to a repugnantcan about the need for action on climate change, he basically said that population growth has already overtaken our planet’s resources and it was only a matter of time, so we might as well take advantage our current opportunities while we can enjoy them. And he’s not religious at all. This really is a belief of what passes for the conservative right.

  15. Hey, those environmentalists are dangerous and fearsome people! Just look what they did at that wildlife refuge in Oregon last year.

    What?!?!? Whaddaya mean they weren’t environmentalists?!?!? Well, damn. (Sorry, Momma.) There goes my pet theory.

    Paranoid, definitely.

    Don’t know why, but this guy’s as twitchy as a meth head walking past a cop car on his way home from his dealer.
    Really makes ya wonder what he’s hiding.
