Why Is Scott Pruitt So Paranoid?.....

[global1]

Is there something in his past that scares the hell out of him? Does he have a food taster too?

Is he somehow tied to Russians - like most of the rest of Trump's people?

1. Good question

it's beyond weird and into the realm of the paranoid.

[hlthe2b]

2. well, he is knowingly destroying the environment for decades to come--there is that...

[tazkcmo]

3. Because

He's crazy.

[Sampan]

4. Guilt + extreme sense of entitlement Scotty the A.hole

[Hekate]

5. He is absolutely terrified of something, but what? At this point, we should be asking this daily.

What are his house and office like back home? A Panic Room on every floor? A fortress?

This is beyond corruption and into the realm of living under siege.

6. He's just like Trump, that's why.

Shows all the signs of being a selfish, self-centered, narcissistic, privileged, elitist fear-driven asshole.

Did I cover it all?

7. So does he

touch doorknobs?

[marylandblue]

8. He is afraid the Earth will rise up and destroy him for his sins

[Zorro]

9. Because millions hate his fucking guts

10. He's not paranoid

When you completely give over an agency to those it is chartered to regulate in return for wealth and reward, you have to keep what you do secret.

11. My experience is evil people are normally paranoid.

They assume lots of people are like them.

[Adrahil]

12. I think it's two things....

1) Delusions of grandeur. The guy thinks he's Director of the CIA.

2) He's actively plotting with industrial polluters. He doesn't want the details public.

13. Seriously, conservatives brains are wired differently

Conservatives have a larger amygdala that gives them an elevated sense of threats. Liberals have a larger anterior cingulate cortex and have more empathy and are better able to cope with uncertainty.

Pruitt must have a whopper of an amygdala!

14. Because he knows he's going to do irrevocable damage to our environment and he's

paranoid as hell.

Stop and think about it. When people in leadership know they're doing wrong, they are going to be jumpy and will build walls to keep you out of their circles so you don't catch on.

It's that way whether you're dealing with co-conspirators, or racists.

15. Because he is committing crimes and afraid of getting caught.

He should be afraid. He might have prison time in front of him.
