        I think Trump is keeping Pruitt around so that he can sack him at some point, decry the evils of swampland corruption, and declare the rest of his administration to be clean as a whistle.

        In my little experience, the term was common in the late 50's in Western USA. Back then RF was a college prank. Did it myself, a few times.

        So is "Hogwash" like in the sentence: "tRUmp is full of hogwash!" It does not raise any flags and in a face to face conversation you might get a smile or two. (Also it's more civil and not straying from the truth)😇Just saying.

        But videos OF Scott Pruitt actually "ratfucking" a rat should NEVER be shown to pachyderms, it freaks them out.
