What’s outstanding? Well, President-elect Trump reportedly (although confirmation is conflicting) tapped Scott Pruitt to head the EPA.

And, boy, does that have Democrats in a tizzy. You have to take a gander at the over-the-top reaction of CNN hack and former Obama adviser Dan Pfeiffer:
At the risk of being dramatic. Scott Pruitt at EPA is an existential threat to the planet
— Dan Pfeiffer (@danpfeiffer) December 7, 2016
“Existential threat to the planet.” Cannot stop giggling. The histrionics just keep getting bigger and more amusing.
If you think Ivanka's purported belief in Climate Change matters more than the Climate Denier at EPA, you don't know how government works

Dude. Someone better do a welfare check on him. In the meantime, how in the heck can you mock someone who is beyond parody? Citizens to the rescue!

Absurd + also impossible to square w/ President Obama's decision to back-burner climate change legislation in '09-10 @scottpruittok believes https://t.co/T4tMxCII6w

Dismantle the EPA to make sure Trump's pick to head it doesn't destroy the planet! #ItsTheOnlyWayToBeSure https://t.co/r0vV9H4QnH

The planet is in danger which is why Obama flew AF1 and his helicopter to the Everglades for a short speech https://t.co/z8Ns6sb9Sk

Those mock-tastic replies have brought tears to my eyes. Sniffle. Could anything make the Schadenfreude better?
Pruitt should execute a spotted owl at his confirmation hearing just to prove Democrats can't do anything about his nomination.

Heh. Psst, Mr. Pfeiffer: Your reaction has badly backfired:
