Isn’t raping the landscape inappropriate behavior? Why didn’t Zinke fire himself?

[blandsten]

Meanwhile, his boss is still President.

Trump: White males continue to be tormented in my administration. This is not acceptable.

The first thought that everybody had when seeing that headline.
When you see the word inappropriate Zinke is bound to be in the neighborhood

Apparently, they weren’t chartering enough helicopters for their trips to the local Starbucks.

“…those terminated abused their authority to intimidate or harass fellow employees.”

–If this is the standard by which the removals are effected, then I expect that Zinke will be the next removal…

[ignoreland]

By “inappropriate behavior” he means “they opposed my agenda to dump protected lands into the market for polluting”.

There’s no way an anonymous survey led to this quick a response.

AND, he got a swipe in at Obama.

Seems like great cover to get rid of “Obama Loyalists”.

To be fair, the quotes don’t appear to claim that the survey led to this, only that he’s removed 4 top officials at some point.

Hmmm zinke didn’t give a reason for the firings… Given the GOP loves them some sex predators and hates them some libs, I’m gonna posit that they were released from being too liberal. Maybe they were predators… preying on the minds of the young by spreading rationality, which is anathema to the GOP.

[sysprog]

Good for him…if true and not just another cover to gut an agency and then privatize it.

[krusher]

Call me paranoid, but I think he used “harassment” as an excuse for a purge. It’s the Russian thing to do.

[grack]

Zinke is shirtless Putin on a horse. Minus the charisma.

[pmm080]

why does it sound like he is lying?

[valgalky23]

As if this guy wasn’t the poster child for bad behavior.

[thomasmatthew]

Zinke’s “zero tolerance” for fellow Montanan who pled guilty to assault for sucker punching a reporter.

Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke reportedly spent $6,250 on a government...

[cvilledem]

Maybe he fired them because he found out that they accepted President Macron’s offer to come and live in France to study climate change.

That would be inappropriate behavior if you are a trumpist.

[thomasmatthew]

He’s got his own horsey scandal

What were they doing? Protecting national parks?
