well, it is. EPA has a newish fleet available. no need for a new one.

If we want to get outraged about ever.single.thing, then it makes it look like we are just out to dig up dirt and it makes us look less credible. Let's leave the outrage to the truly bad things these people are doing.


you're out of your league here. out of your league.

Honest questions...

If the bullet comes from behind, I guess.


But why do we also pay for leather seats then?

Right! After all, MLK was killed by a leftist! Lincoln? Lefty killer got him! Thank you for keeping it real, MAGAt!


JFK was killed by a communist.


R. Reagan: shot by a liberal

G. Ford: multiple assassination attempts by a liberal

G. Wallace: shot by a liberal

R. Kennedy: shot by a liberal

S. Scalise: shot by a liberal

seeing a trend here?


Oh, okay pookie. More like mentally ill, mentally ill, mentally ill, mentally ill, undetermined shooter (also: Communism isn’t liberalism, and it's a bit rich that the party of treason keeps trying to pretend Russia has anything to do with the Democratic Party), and mentally ill. I do see a trend, and that's for Republidytes to ignore reality. Frankly, with that murderous assemblage's mental health history and the NRA's history of wanting more guns for everyone including the mentally ill, I'm surprised you aren’t suggesting they should have had more guns.


Yeah, that guy who shot Scalise was hardly a "liberal." He was from a conservative midwestern town where the "democrats" would be republicans anywhere else. And he lived with a huge cache of weapons. What true liberal lives with a cache of weapons? Conservatives are always trying to tell us that liberals want to take away the 2nd amendment. So by default, anyone who is a gun nut cannot be a liberal.

And what exactly was liberal about the other shooters? Please explain their exact liberal views.



The guy that shot up the baseball field was a Bernie volunteer. C'mon, revisionist history doesn't work on stuff that happened less than a year ago. People still remember it. You can't use that trick until years from now when the details aren't as fresh.

The head of Little Slimeball Scottie’s security detail was freelancing for David Pecker and the Enquirer, which endorsed Trump and tried to buy the silence of McDougal. So many coincidences. Makes you wonder. Let’s see how long it takes to triangulate Cohen into this.

Nino Perrotta, Scottie’s security head just resigned. He was scheduled to be interviewed tomorrow by the House Oversight Committee. Albert Kelly, the disgraced former banker heading the Superfund program also quit. Not the last we will hear of this.

Holy moly. Nor should it be! http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/exclusive-epa-whistleblower-pruitt-bald-faced-lied-congress/story?id=54827538 I keep having the same problem (among many) with this administration: I evidently lack the criminal and corruption creativity they've nurtured in themselves so lovingly.

The whistleblower is a Republican who worked on the Trump campaign, in case anyone's curious.

$1,600 spent on 12 custom silver fountain pens with the EPA seal

$5,700 spent on a biometric door lock

Pruitt should marry a Kardashian

For one thing, it's probably a standard feature on the car at that trim-level.

Secondly, leather seats are more durable and easier to clean than cloth, which makes sense in a motorpool / fleet vehicle, where there's more opportunity for spills and stains, as well as constant use.

Cloth seats would likely need to be replaced before the end of service life of the vehicle itself, and that would be more expensive than leather. So leather is actually the cheaper way to go in the long run.
