What The Hell Does He Have To Do To Get Fired?

April 03, 2018 By: Juanita Jean Herownself Category: Uncategorized

I’m beginning to think that Scott Pruitt is fireproof.

President Trump called EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt on Monday night and told him “Keep your head up. Keep fighting. We got your back,” according to an administration official.

Chief of Staff John Kelly followed up on Tuesday morning and they talked about the President’s call and Kelly reinforced the President’s message.

I am amused that Kelly has to call people back after they talked to Trump because, bless his heart, Trump doesn’t even know the name of the place where he holds the Easter Egg Hunt.

I guess if you’re keeping big oil happy, raping the environment, and God only know what else at the “room” he rents from an oil lobbyist, you’ve got yourself some that “job security” that no one else has at the place with no name.

Here’s the latest.  All this kissy face from Trump and Kelly came after Pruitt bypassed the administration to give enormous raises to two hires who came with him from Oklahoma.  Everyone thought this slap in the face would jeopardize Pruitt’s job.

Nope. Not in the least.

What’s it gonna take?

Thanks to Henry for the heads up.

  1. It’s probably because Trump didn’t think of it first.

  2. I don’t know… Haven’t other people been kicked out the door about fifteen minutes after Trump told them he was 100% behind them? You can’t believe what he says from one hour to the next.

    Well, what does it take for Trump to get fired?

  4. Remember the film “Three Faces of Eve” about a woman with three different personalities? Well, the Golden gibbon has the same problem! And that thought was given to me free of charge by a Republican who voted for him.

  5. Sidelight to pruitt still being in office.
    A theory that has been proposed was that when demented donnie finally tweets widdle jeffie sessions to hit the bricks that he would move pruitt sideways into AG job where he would fire mueller and team while destroying all evidence ( ala John Doe Case in Wisconsin).
    He could do this because according to a successions law he can move Senate approved officials into a different job without requiring new hearings or further Senate approval.
    pruitt being ex ag of oklahoma could be presented as a “reasonable” selection with proper “qualifications”.
    Who else has he got? zinke maybe, devos or carson should be laughed out of town.
    So with the multiple vacancies and plans for future vacancies it is hard to see him giving up on pruitt.
    But logic fails when applied to this dingbat.

    Pruitt just gave two buddies massive raises. But here’s a sobering thought. Fire Sessions, move Pruitt into his slot, no confirmation necessary, and he was Ag in his prior life.. Pruitt will fire Mueller and traitor trump thinks he’s home free.

    Would not be in the least surprised if Donnie fired Sessions & replaced him with Pruitt. I WOULD be surprised, however, if Mueller didn’t have multiple backup copies of all his work stashed somewhere. Let us pray so.

    A former Watergate prosecutor stated on MSNBC that they fully expected Nixon to eventually fire special prosecutor, Archibald Cox. They were prepared and had copied everything and took the copies to their homes. When Leon Jaworski was appointed to carry on, they were ready to go.
    Special Counselor Robert Mueller, as thorough as he is, has to be aware of the contingencies.

    “Mueller didn’t have multiple backup copies of all his work stashed somewhere.”

    With some states AG’s NY, Maryland, Virginia, Calif as examples.

    But what if a “legally” superior officer, supported by a federalist society dingbat judge, gave him a legal “order” to surrender and destroy all records?
    This worked in military and torture where the nuremberg defense was/is being used broadly to protect torturers. One must wonder what the recourse woild be?

    I’ve repeatedly seen commentary that Trump is planning on replacing Jeff Sessions with Pruitt.

  11. I don’t know, Pruitt has had a lot of bad publicity about wasting our money on deluxe travel and security and soundproof phone booths, not to mention destroying the E and P in EPA….

    Rachel Maddow just pointed out a statement put out with regard to the Manafort investigation that Mueller has had two other divisions in the Justice Department sign off on the charges so that if there are attempts to remove Mueller, the investigations, not just the Manafort case, will continue.
    I guess the Supreme Court would make the final decision, which does not instill confidence, given the R majority.

  13. A WashPost columnist, also professor of international politics at Tufts, has done a Final Four style bracket and determined that Pruitt is THE WORST of the Trump Cabinet, though he had to beat some heavy competition:
