These business types don't care about common working class people. They barely care about the middle class (60k-200k category).

blah, blah,blah, blah......This is exactly the kind of EPA Director that we need to cut the EPA down to size and put an end to the global warming scam.

EPA is staffed with all of those former '60's Hippies that drove VW's while the rest of Us drove high powered muscle cars back in the day. Funny how most of them complained about Air pollution and fossil fuels all the while filling up Their lungs smoking weed !

Sounds great since the hens all have terminal ideological bird flu.

Yes. Excellent choice. Its like in the US Steel article, when you are having to purify water to a greater extent than it is in nature, something is wrong.

"I'm going to throw a lot of coal miners out of work."

The Republicans do care about working class people and the middle class. Democrats don't care whether or not they can find a decent job (That's WHY Trump won).

EPA has gone nuts and has vastly usurped its authority the last 8 years.

Rationality will once again be winning. The Constitution will once again be winning. The far left unrealistic internet science flakes are getting thrown out and sent back to creating fake news on their own time, not on our payroll.

How has the environment improved after spending billions (at least) on global warming? All I read about is how we are still going to die from rising seas and extreme weather, our water is poison, and the increase of terrorism is actually a global warming event. How much more do we need to stop this? $5 trillion? Is that enough? Maybe another $5 trillion to prop up some hand picked African dictators?

Yep, given all the complaining I saw on CNN this must be a good pick.

And we should all send our gratitude to Harry Reid for invoking the nuclear option regarding Presidential appointments, as the Dems can not filibuster this appointment.

This has to be like a kick in the balls to every prog. How do you feel now, Harry?

If Dems hadn't done it then, Reps would've done it now. It was always going to happen. The ideologies are just way too far apart nowadays.

Maybe, maybe not. But........the best part is that a$$hole Harry Reid is the one that ultimately did it.

The Libs were cheering this and other things similar to beat the band and many kept saying - some day, the shoe can be on the other foot and you won't like it then..........

Well, looks like we are here - and a ton of libs are now in meltdown mode. The justice of this is just off the charts!!!

I remember when lib posters on this board were all high and mighty over the Dems using the nuclear option to get appointments confirmed. When they were warned that the shoe could be on the other foot one day, they dismissed that possibility. Well libs, the day of reckoning is close. Enjoy it. Elections have consequences.

Here's two unassailable facts.
1. The Dems did it.
2. The Republicans didn't do it.

But you can live in the fantasy world of Would've.

Why do liberals keep blaming inanimate objects for deaths.

Out of curiosity, I checked the various news sites, and any other sources I could find via Google, as to when and how Pruitt "denied climate change." Funny thing is that I found no references.

Yet there was story after story that "Trump nominates climate denier for EPA" but not one that actually had a reference to him denying climate change.

So the New York Times, WaPo, et al, are presenting fake news headlines.

Now what Pruitt has said is that the EPA does not have the legal authority to enforce certain aspects of their agenda. And he has also said that people who question climate change should not be prosecuted. Those opinions seem to be pretty straightforward legal issues, something an Attorney General should be addressing.

I'm assuming they draw that conclusion from this quote.

“Scientists continue to disagree about the degree and extent of global warming and its connection to the actions of mankind,”
