I Zinke, therefore I scam.

Zinkeā€™s got my bet on the next cabinet member to be thrown off the train and under the bus. Though if the tax bill monstrosity doesnā€™t pass - Mnuchin runs to the front of the line. I think he lasts through the end of this year, but only part way into next year. If he isnā€™t thrown - perhaps there is a chance that he may jump off soon in order to run for Testerā€™s seat in 2018?

Strong feeling here in MT is that Zinke wants to last long enough to return to run for MT Gov. in 2020 when our incumbent Dem is out per term limits.

If true, it doesnā€™t look as though heā€™s doing his public image any favors.

But hey, Zinke was a Navy Seal, we owe him our freedom. We will all praying in a mosque if it wasnā€™t for him.

Thanks for the context. He strikes me as extremely ambitious: ā€˜volunteeredā€™ to run for Speakership when Boehner stepped down - although he had only served one term in the House, and approached Trump about the VP slot.

I hope he gets ousted and embarassed (like Price) before he can gain any traction in a gubernatorial run.

This is why Republicans need to raise our taxes. The elite want perks.

Say what you want about Melania, and Iā€™ve said a lot. But she has conducted herself with dignity, especially when compared with some of the harpies like Zinkeā€™s wife and especially Mnuchinā€™s wife Louise Linton.

Can we just appreciate for a moment that Lolita Zinke is an actual person and not a James Bond villain?

She was Trumpā€™s ā€œHispanic Outreachā€ person during the campaign. I am sure Judge Roy Moore is most interested in meeting her.

Her parents? That really is her name.

Interior Secretary Ryan Zinkeā€™s wife, Lolita Zinke, sent Interior Department staffers scrambling this year with two separate requests regarding travel plans with her husband on official trips.

These were desperate attempts to flee from Clare Quilty and Humbert Humbert.

Yep, time for the ā€œTom Priceā€ treatment. A Cabinet full of vipers, unbelievable.

Corporate BigWigs are accustomed to a lot of great perks such as ā€œfreeā€ Lear Jet flights, ā€œfreeā€ limos, ā€œfree luxury accommodations and foodā€ plus ā€œfreeā€ entertainment (Broadway shows, hookers, drugs probably). The corporation absorbs the cost and passes it on to investors/tax payers.

What an awful shock to discover you really canā€™t do that in Govā€™t work, even the High End guys in the Cabinet. HAA-ha!
