I guess his special Secretary’s Flag is now at half mast.

Was that supposed to be a euphemism of some type? :face_vomiting:

You put your scumbag in
You take your scumbag out
You put your scumbag in
And you shake it all about
You do the hokey pokey
And you trump yourself around
That’s what it’s all about

No. He has a special flag that he demands be filown over the Interior Department Building only when he’s in the office.

Okay - maybe.

Put this into rotation, just change the office title when needed.

Or he was able to sell his stocks without any significant tax because of this…

"The tax advantage will allow Trump officials, forced by ethics laws to sell certain assets, to defer the weighty tax bills they would otherwise owe on the profits from selling stock and other holdings.

The benefit is one of the more subtle ways that the millionaires and billionaires of Trump’s White House, which already will be the wealthiest administration in modern American history, could benefit financially from their transition into the nation’s halls of power."

I suspect this every time I hear someone is now leaving.
It’s a constant revolving door.
Fuck these people.

People, people, people, let’s think this through. The folks working for Mr. Trump are the best people willing to do it. That means by definition, every one that gets replaced is getting replaced by someone worse than the one before him/her. At this rate, we will hit a point where we are running contests to be a secretary. Oh, wait… https://youtu.be/OoZ1-xPbNHg?t=36

That rather assumes that Trump is able to pick the best candidate out of those willing. Which I see little evidence of. But of course the next pick will likely be just as willing to sacrifice our national lands for short term profit.

The constantly shifting sands of this administration should come as no surprise to Zinke. He is a geologist, after all.

If anyone would know when this administration’s corruption had reached rock bottom, it would be Ryan Zinke. He’s a geologist.

Not sure if these are sarcastic. Despite his constantly saying he is, Zinke is not a geologist and never has been

is this the dude that made them shut down traffic so he could ride a horse into the white-house on his first day?

really so sick and tired of all these a-holes, it’s not funny in the least, people are suffering sooner or later from their careless greedy manipulation of government that is supposed to protect us but now instead eroding our rights and safety so they can profit and enjoy themselves

two more years of this horror show is just going to be too destructive, hurry up Mueller and present your case early January to the new House, hopefully the Senate will be forced to act by summer with public pressure but it seems unlikely

Yet he won’t face a single consequence for any of the evil shit he has done. Yes there’s scandal, but his lasting legacy will be even more terrible things like auctioning of millions of acres of protected lands to Big Oil.
