“I don’t know how you survive this one.”

The former was a remark made by former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie on ABC’s “This Week” Sunday. He was referring to the head of the EPA, Scott Pruitt. Pruitt has been wasting tens-of-thousands of taxpayer dollars, and even more remodeling his office, but the offense which may force him from his position is an extreme violation of the ethics laws.

Pruitt has been living in a plush Washington condo at a cost of $50 a night. The residence belongs to the wife of the only man who produces liquefied natural gas in America. Pruitt recently took a trip to Morocco, at a cost of $40,000 to taxpayers. The purpose of his trip was to arrange a deal to sell liquefied natural gas.

Christie is a douche bag, but once in a while he tells the truth.

“If Mr. Pruitt’s going to go, it’s because he should’ve never been there in the first place,” Christie said.

Christie blamed a transition that “ill-served” President Donald Trump and didn’t properly vet candidates for key positions.

He is not wrong. Not a single member of Trump’s cabinet, and his choices for his closest advisers is qualified for their position. They are not only unfit, many of them, including Pruitt are diametrically opposed to the agencies they lead. It is obvious that Trump was instructed by Vladimir Putin and Robert Mercer to destroy our democratic republic from day one.

I am aware that the American people are the least informed voters in the world, but voting for Trump remains the most ignorant act in American history. Millions of Americans elected the most unqualified and immoral man in history. Our nation has its first president who cannot claim to be a loyal American. Trump is a fascist whose heroes are Adolf Hitler and Vladimir Putin. Democracy is his enemy.

Pruitt must be fired. Trump has at least one more tweet in his thumbs. We know that he lacks the courage to fire anyone in person.
