“Intimidation, harassment and discrimination are my departments. So step off…”

This was exactly my thinking. Expect to see a lot more of this in other departments. Notice the weasel words of the spokesperson, which covered a lot of vague ground.

Because he is. Constantly.

Does anyone else remember some of the stories about the cesspool that was the interior department under gwb?

I’m sure when it turns out that those fired just magically happened to be those most critical of the Trump administration’s efforts to undermine the actual mission of the Interior Department, that will be just an amazing coincidence, and not at all indicative that the firings are a smokescreen to cover for ideological moves.

Swift continued, “They questioned Secretary Zinke’s need for a cone of silence.”

Because for Republicans, the real crime is speaking out about rape.

I’d put the odds at about 90% that the claims of “abuse of power” and “harassment” were based on complaints from right-wing employees that the officials in question did not respect their right-wing idiocy.

Isn’t Zinke a former SEAL?

Even more than naval aviators, SEALs know about conducting inappropriate behavior with women – it’s baked into their culture.

“inappropriate behavior”

Gee, I never knew that saying the words “climate change” and calling Zinke an asshole to his face was now considered sexual harassment.

Yes, he is a Seal. Didn’t you ever see him balance a beach ball on his nose? The fucker’s got talent! And you only have to feed him a few fish and the national parks to get him to perform!

Bets that all four were holdovers from the Obama administration? Until we know who they are and what they did, I don’t trust Zinke to not abuse his own power to remove people he doesn’t like.

More likely, they opposed they deal Zinke made to get his neighbor the contract in Puerto Rico that was scuttled shortly after the details became known…Jesus, I thought Price was a gigantic dick…this guy takes the cake.

Wasn’t it at an agency in Colorado? Something to do with mining?

Aka people who follow the law.

The price for Franken: It’s okay to fire people without investigation if charges are made.

Guessing that if Zinke’s claimed standards were applied to GROPUS, the fake president would be summarily dismissed as well.
