gives him a chance to start fresh with a Border Patrol chief of his own choosing.
Rod Roddy: Sheriff Joe ArPayaso … Come on down!
Joe Arpaio, your audition is at 8.
Kris Kobach, your audition is at 8:30.
Chris Christie, your audition is at…bwahahahaha, just messing with you, loser.
This guy pretty much fired himself my taking untenable positions when he actually had some serious sucking up to do.
Arpaio is 84 years old so I’m not convinced he is really near the front of the line. Christy is radioactive. The union guy Brandon Judd, from the Trump transition team no less, is Trump’s darling and really can have this job or else his pic of open law enforcement jobs.
I get the feeling more than anything, that the Trump administration checks these agency folks to see what their voter registration says. So its not so much that they worked during the Obama administration as it might be whether they were registered to vote as a Dem, Rep. or Indep. I have no idea if this guy was a Dem. but it probably wouldn’t be hard to find out.
Funny you should mention that. When I worked for the BLM, during the James Watt tenure, political affiliation was being used as a criteria for upper level management assignments. Interior denied it, but there were many leaks to the field offices that corroborated the practice.
I hate to say this, but it almost feels like they’re doing some form of political ethnic cleansing…which seems to be right up their alley.
Americana is so addicting.
Remind you of the W years at all (e.g., the US Attorney firings scandal)?
Its getting there.
I think it’s more a loyalty thing. Sessions was an early supporter, hence the AG nod.
