Scandal-plagued Pruitt resigns: Told you so, and even wild-Right Laura Ingraham finally agreed, her sight recovered: What I do not get about you Trump-supporters is that you profess to...

What I do not get about you Trump-supporters is that you profess to h**e the Swamp. You v**ed for Trump because he was not a politician and part of the business-as-usual D.C. crowd and he promised to drain it: the lobbyists, corruption, campaign finance, over-spending, perks and pay-to-play (Mulvaney openly admitted to that one).

Every rally in the campaign, the crowd chanted “Drain the Swamp!” echoing Trump's (empty) promise. I showed you with supported facts that Pruitt was the epitome of a Swamp Thing. You guys attacked me and defended him? Fourteen active ethics investigations against him, three that may result in felonies, when he resigned. Living under the roof of a lobbyist. Secret meetings with Lobbyists and the industries he was supposed to regulate for our safety. Your children's safe future. And you backed him?

Here is a brief aside about how Trump keeps one of his major promises:
More than 100 former federal lobbyists have found jobs in the Trump administration, despite President Trump’s campaign pledge to restrict the power of special interests in Washington.

And roughly two-thirds of them — 69 — work in the agencies they have lobbied at some point in their careers, according to research by American Bridge 21st Century. They include about three dozen recent lobbyists who have not received waivers from Trump’s ethics rule that bar industry insiders and former lobbyists from working on specific matters that benefited their former employers or clients for two years after their appointments.

The prevalence of lobbyists in the new administration shows that Trump and his aides “are holding themselves to a different standard than we expected,” said Lisa Gilbert of the liberal-leaning group Public Citizen, which is expected to release its own study this week, highlighting ex-lobbyists working on the same issues in government as they did in their recent lobbying posts.

Expanding the Swamp is fine by you now?

Look at the others who have been fired or resigned for abusing their positions and costing you money. It is like a Swamp-thing roll call. Is it situational ethics? Supporting Trump is the situation—and everything else can be ignored? It is crazy-d********g how you guys abandon all ethical and moral sense to defend people like Pruitt.

Look it up. Very simple. But a spoiler: not nearly as many.

Scott Pruitt resigned as administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency on Thursday and a top government watchdog released a simple, but effective one-word statement on this development: "Good."
