President Donald J. Trump’s choice to lead the Environmental Protection Agency, Oklahoma Attorney General E. Scott Pruitt, cleared his first hurdle en route to Senate confirmation with an unusual one-party vote by the Environment and Public Works Committee — a vote boycotted by the committee’s Democrats.

“Let me make clear to everyone what just happened,” said Sen. John A. Barrasso III (R.-Wyo.), the committee’s chairman.

“Yesterday, the minority members of the committee chose to boycott our business meeting because they do not support the nomination of Scott Pruitt,” he said. “As we pointed out yesterday, elections have consequences and a new president is entitled to put in place people who will advance his agenda, the agenda that the people voted for when they elected him president.”

Had the roles been reversed, well first of all I don't think the republicrats would have sat out the process, second of all, thank God the roles are NOT reversed. Anyway, if anything, the constituents of these dementocrats should be raising hell with their reps. If you don't show up to vote, then you've abdicated your duties that you were elected to do. Of course libs being libs don't compute like that. But hey, at least they're making a statement. Fidiots.

Lead, follow or get out of the way. I guess they chose to get out of the way. Fine with me. Wankers.

We all know that when they aren’t in plain sight, they’re plotting something evil. It’s what they do. I’m thinkin’ lip stick cameras.

Fire em all.
Turn out the lights and lock the door on your way home.
EPA is about as worthless as the Bureau of Indian Affairs.

Hmmmm. Seems like Rex might have some considerations for those folks at state that signed the dissent letter about the faux immigration dust up. “Is this your signature on the letter? Yes? Clean out your desk by noon. Your services are no longer required since you don’t care to perform your assigned tasks.” But then again, how would someone like Rex Tillerson know anything about getting things done? (one L or two?)
