these announcements are coming every few days.

Rumor is Haley may have quit over the sanctions fiasco. Trump stabbed her in the back with that one. I hope it is true.

Demands again about Pruitt needing to be fired with what was revealed today. Bullet proof seat covers on his government provided car. WTF is he so afraid of?

They could save time and effort if they would just send out the message MTWF.
More time with family. They aren't fooling anyone. They will just find a different
way of grifting.

He had already announced he wasn't going to run. Now he is resigning within the next 2 weeks.

This close to Nov. with the summer off? hell he could go home now, work out of his office there and only fly in for important votes. So why is he leaving now and setting up the possibility of a special election?

so naturally, I went to the wife found out about the DC mistress. But it still didn't make sense. A job does, he cant phone it in to DC, if he is working (most likely) for a lobbyist. They want him to start, so he is resigning.
