Lobbyist Helped Arrange Scott Pruitt’s $100,000 Trip to Morocco

A satirical look at current events!

Lobbyist Helped Arrange Scott Pruitt’s $100,000 Trip to Morocco: It’s being reported that Environmental Protection Agency chief Scott Pruitt’s controversial $100,000 trip to Morocco last year was arranged by Pruitt’s longtime friend and Comcast lobbyist, who accompanied him on much of the trip.

Gee, who knew the EPA’s jurisdiction extended clear to Morocco? Reminds me of during the campaign when the President said America was broken and only he knows how to “fix it.” Well, it appears that by “fix it” - he meant like the 1919 World Series was “fixed.” So, where’s Shoeless Joe Jackson when we really need him?

Now is it just me, or has Trump managed to staff his entire cabinet full of Bond villains? Come on, Scott Pruitt actually sued the EPA 14 times before Trump appointed him as head. Call me paranoid, but if you’re the Mayor of Gotham, it’s probably not a good idea to put the Joker in charge of the city's electrical grid. I mean, you know you’re looking at some serious corruption - when even the Mafia is scratching their heads wondering “how the hell are they getting away with all that?”
