This is w/o a doubt the most corrupt administration since Harding’s, he had the Teapot Dome and now we have the Tea Party.

“An entitled white guy who has no time for diversity and actually scoffs at it.”

The entire GOP in a nutshell.

“You start to get a pattern of an entitled white guy who has no time for diversity and actually scoffs at it,” the aide told TPM.

Pattern? Geez, it’s the whole f’n suit of clothes.

Zinke “loves my blacks” except when he doesn’t, which is all the time.

Would it be a surprise to learn that Zinke, the High Plains Grifter, is also a bigot? No.

Wait, when did John Lithgow start playing the role of Ryan Zinke?

Somebody pointed out that white supremacy wasn’t a core value for these deplorables, it was just an amusing sideline to their main value of self-enrichment. They don’t have to discriminate against minorities to feel fulfilled, they just do it because it’s fun.

Here’s what Zinke’s former commanding officer had to say about Zinke!

FIRST let me say that I adore that picture of Zinke. It is so totally HIM. Secondly, I hope they nail his sorry a** over diversity. I was laid off once during the tech bubble and and HR rushed to assure me I couldn’t sue them on ‘age’ discrimination. I looked them in the eye and said ‘honestly? You just laid off the only woman and the only Asian in a department of white men and you think I’m gonna sue on ageism?’ That left them quaking for a few days…

Oh, I get it: somehow Democrat presidents are allowed to make personnel decisions based on the values that are important to them: experience, competence, fairness, etc. But Republican presidents can’t make personnel decisions based on TRUE CONSERVATIVE VALUES: political affiliation, loyalty and being white, Christian and conservative?

I call foul! That’s blatant discrimination against the CONSTITUTIONAL right of Republican presidents and their appointees to discriminate!

Zinke is currying favor with the President.

I think that diversity is actually kinda the law of the land, so whether he cares about it or not is irrelevant. Where I work, sexual harassment is a concern, and by law is not to be tolerated, a manager who said they didn’t care about sexual harassment would be fired pretty quickly.

That said, Zinke should be impeached, fired, drawn, tarred, feathered etc. Then, most deliciously, bankrupted. Not “file for bankruptcy” and avoid paying his creditors, but bankrupted, i.e. take away all his wealth and things and privilege.

Goes for most every member of the Trump maladmin and all the goppers in Congress and state government too.

Wow, Trump and his team of deplorables are hitting on all cylinders now!

Racism, ageism, raw incompetence, anti-woman, anti-minority, anti-environment, anti-voting rights, anti…shit! Anti everything that made this country great!

Oh, the humanity…

The level of corrupt self-dealing in this maladministration would have made Albert Fall (Harding’s Secretary of the Interior and the star player in the Teapot Dome scandal) stare, blush, and turn away in shame.

God, could this administration be more vile?

Thanks for the link – it’s from 2014 - doesn’t seem to have done much good…

This song and dance is very common in this administration. Zinke has done so much that is just self aggrandizing and arrogant - but messing up the careers of civil servants (not grandstanders like Zinke who hold positions that should belong to civil servants) just makes me mad!
