Moiraine Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 It’s probably hard to nominate people who aren’t racist or sexist when you’re a racist or sexist who surrounds yourself with racists and sexists. 3 Link to comment

What a disappointment he turned out to be. Here's another source. I lost my WaPo susbcription too so I know how annoying the paywall is. He basically blew off rules governing federal travel so he could enjoy luxury flights and accommodations. Quote The majority of Pruitt's travel costs were for airfare, and more than three-quarters of the flights he took were in first class, according to the report. While the trips were justified and most of the costs appropriate, the inspectors found that Pruitt and his staff failed to comply with federal travel regulations and the agency's internal policies. Among the findings were improper approval of expensive lodging costs, inaccurate and incomplete international trip reports and not justifying the use of noncontract air carriers. In one instance, Pruitt and his accompanying personal security detail agent were each charged $669 for a night at the Cassa Hotel in New York City — more than double the agency's per diem hotel rate of $301. Other security officers at the same hotel that night were only charged $389. Link to comment
knapplc Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 And when they're not criminals like Pruitt ^^^ they're just dumb as a post and completely unqualified for their position. What's up, Ben Carson? 2 Link to comment

What's up, Ben Carson? Ben Carson literally told America he had no business running a federal agency: Quote "Dr. Carson feels he has no government experience, he's never run a federal agency," Williams told the Hill newspaper. "The last thing he would want to do was take a position that could cripple the presidency." Not a week later, Trump nominated him to run HUD anyway. The only potential justification I've heard as to why Trump thought this would be a good idea was because he figured Carson would know something about urban development. Anybody surprised by his utter incompetence hasn't been paying attention. Still, pretty sad to watch. 2 Link to comment
NM11046 Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 I think Carson is an arrogant idiot and he would have performed poorly in front of this committee no matter what, but you would have to be blind to not see his particular disdain and condescension at being asked these questions by WOMEN, especially some that were prepared and educated about the topic. Id love to hear how he treated his surgical staff at the hospital. 1 Link to comment

In light of the fact that we have Bolton, Pompeo - sleep comes a bit harder. 2 Link to comment
