#1 ...reshaping the EPA’s science advisory boards and provoking an exodus of talent from the agency that could take decades to reverse.

Knowing the "science" they have provided over the years I'm willing to accept that risk.

#3 Congrats! You got rid of the person who was literally Hitler's EPA guy (or some damn literally Hitler thing) and now the EPA is being run by an ex coal lobbyist. Well done lads, lasses and persons of indeterminate gender.

#4 I believe Trump is using this as a general strategy:
Target any of my people, run out them out of DC, and I'll replace them with someone even more conservative.

#6 Andrew Wheeler is a former coal and mining lobbyist and a climate denier

If that's HuffPoo's description of him, sounds like they got the right guy!

#7 #2 I would rather O stay in DC. His enablers will do their dirty work supplying for his needs. His disappearance is one of the first signs of his drug dependency. Seeing his efforts so easily erased fills him with searing anger. Drugs will fill the void within himself. He needs to feel the power he once enjoyed. That is all that matters to him. His tale has no happy ending.

#10 Pruitt left behind a considerable legacy of halting critical regulations, reshaping the EPA’s science advisory boards and provoking an exodus of talent from the agency that could take decades to reverse.

These are bad things?

#11 ...and provoking an exodus of talent from the agency that could take decades to reverse.

1) 'Talent'? Now that's funny!
2) Let's hope not!
