    Scott Pruitt finally steps down after being accused of many wrong doings. The list in this administration just keeps growing.

    More than a little overdue.

    I wonder if he'll be prosecuted for all his very many transgressions.

    I think we can all agree, though, that however they got there or however long they've been there, people who are paid for by our taxes are responsible to us for their actions. I, for one, am sick of people who come to DC to get rich or to get perqs and to misuse the public's trust, in addition to the normal creep behavior of sexual harassment/assault, etc. I'm all for people like Pruitt going away. And Lois Lerner, Franks and Franken, the Clintons...

    I didn't, but I'm pretty sure consensual sex outside of marriage or divorce, especially a decade ago, would disqualify a whole bunch of people. Hell, Kennedy was having orgies in the pool with Jackie upstairs while President.

    Now, if he banged Stormy in the Lincoln Bedroom after sexually harassing Paul Ryan and an intern, we have a different story.

    Al Franken was chastised for miming the breast grope on a USO comedy tour....so why include him and not Donald? Outside marriage for Donald eh...his wife was giving birth about when he was porking Stormy and the Playboy bunny he kept around for a couple years...all while married
    Donald's history of pussy grabbing and sexual harassment has to be included....and like Kennedy and Clinton...time will tell how well he's behaved since being in the White House

    Yes. Perhaps the investigations can wait too, for evidence of a crime.

    Simply because he resigned, for whatever reason...some might say due to guilt (or inability to prove innocence? Dunno.)

    You seem to have a lot of issues with his sex life. :dunno:

    no...actually what these guys do never surprises me...but when you talk about govt responsibility and make a list that leaves out a guy who's paying off hookers....I take exception....Clinton has nothin' on Donald when it comes to harassment cases and Lewinsky was also a willing participant and adult when she took the cigar from Willy
    seems this is someone other than me taking issue with people's sex lives....what room they do it in doesn't change anything..I agree actually with your original post but just thought Don needed to be mentioned with all those Dems on the list..if you drain a swamp, you need to drain the swamp

    There is a huge difference between "sex lives" and "criminal actions." What Bill did with Gennifer Flowers was "scandalous" (you know, having a 12yr affair to a woman that became a Playboy Centerfold), what he did with Sally Purdue and Monica Lewinsky was creepy and borderline criminal (depending on how you view fraternization), what he did to Paula Jones was criminal. Analogously, what Trump did with Stormy Daniels is "scandalous", what he said on the mike was creepy, and only if anyone credible had come forward with anything credible, his sexual assault and rape allegations may be considered criminal. Since they weren't...

    Franks is an R, and there's plenty more on both sides to add but that's what the ellipsis was for. I still don't think he belongs any more than Obama does.

    your words were "creepy behavior of sexual harassment, assault, etc....Trump has a history of this behavior...he may have even paid off a porn star and playboy bunny with campaign funds.....he did pay them off to run for office and attempt to buy silence. Much creepier than anything Al Franken did and Al Franken came out and owned it....stepped down because of it...that I find at least honest

    fair enough....I don't believe Trump has an innocent or honest bone in his body....but really...if you talk about creeps, your post had a decidedly dem slant...I had to bring up the obvious elephant in that room

    Obama doesn't belong in the same moral category as Trump.....I disagree with this completely. As I said...after one year in office...Donald has a list of questionable actions and use of campaign funds....time will tell

    Franken a) molested a sleeping woman. He also, unlike saying he grabbed women in some kind of "locker-room talk", actually grabbed women by the butt, b) didn't deny it, never owned it, and said he wasn't going to step down, until c) 6 women later, the Senate Democratic Caucus made him.
