Check one’s
calendar because right now we are 43 days from the inauguration, and Donald
Trump continues to fill out his Cabinet. Watching Trump pick these people is
like watching your Nana get a sponge bath — you know it has to be done, but
it’s upsetting. –Stephen Colbert
Yesterday, Trump
named Scott Pruitt, Oklahoma attorney general and sworn enemy of the EPA, to be
the head of the — what’s the word? — the EPA. I would change my phone number,
or else he’s going to get some pretty angry calls from himself. –Stephen
Colbert
There is a trend of
Trump appointing people to head things they’re against. I’m looking forward to
Surgeon General Joe Camel. –Stephen Colbert
So, what kind of
EPA head will Scott Pruitt be? Well, he’s repeatedly explained that he thinks
the states are in the best position to regulate local industries. Makes sense. If
Missouri dumps chemicals into the Mississippi River, they just tell those
chemicals, “Remember, you stop at the Arkansas state line.” –Stephen Colbert
