    EPA's Pruitt to Get New Airborne Division For Protection

    By NCD on Sat, 04/07/2018 - 6:55pm |

    US Army Forces Command has been ordered by President Trump to form a new Airborne Division of 5,000 to protect his EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt.

    Mr. Pruitt had complained that his 19 full time body guards and 19 armored vehicles dedicated solely to protect him in his dangerous job were inadequate and insufficient for the threat vectors in the Oklahoma-Washington DC environment. He has demanded that in addition to more personnel, he required paratroops with heavy weapons drop capability to safely navigate the Washington DC area where he resides. A C-5 with airdrop capability will be in the air 24/7 over DC when Administrator Pruitt is in the area. Whether munitions will include non-strategic nuclear weapons, and what types of warheads,has not been answered and is considered classified information.

    The new division will be the 102nd Airborne, PRUITTCAKE DIV, out of Fort Bragg, NC.

    Although the exact troop numbers now are classified Top Secret, those responsible for this mission will be similar to, or larger in numbers than, the picture below.

    New recruits for the 102nd PRUITTCAKE DIV below, are already in training with experienced instructors on the operation of medium range artillery in a urban environment.

    Neither - a pomegranate. Lots of little nuggets of something intriguing but not quite satisfying nor enjoyable.

    (I just saw a satire of all 8 Wes Anderson movies, which came out looking like a Wes Anderson movie)

    BTW, there was a late 2016 satire of the complete Boston Herald. 16 months later, it looks like a regular 2018 front page. Humor and reasonableness are dead - it's just moving from one new reality to another. Even the word "absurd" has gotten worn down into irrelevance through overuse.

    Is it true, or did the President say it?...??

    Coming to your neighborhood. Coal stoves. Healthier than electricity.

    Will further revive the coal industry.

    An American story, coal "sales promotion":

    "Coal smoke could not possibly be harmful because, being purified by fire, it did not carry germs....black carbon in the lungs actually purifies the air..." link

    That is a seriously threatening environment! Of course, the really gruesome carnage there bouts was cut from that documentary.

    No wonder Pruitt is so scared! 

    They'll be on the other side of The Wall, right?
