How Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke came undone

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

WASHINGTON — He came as a cowboy. On his first day at work, March 2, 2017, Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke rode a horse to the Department of Interior headquarters in downtown Washington, D.C, arriving like a conquering king, accompanied by a U.S. Park Police escort, also on horseback.

The native Montanan, a former congressman from that state, Zinke attired in cowboy hat and jeans, a rodeo windbreaker instead of a Brooks Brothers suit. At Interior’s headquarters awaited a legion uniformed staff, who received their new boss to the sounds of an honor song beaten out on a drum by an Office of Indian Affairs employee who also happened to be a member of the Northern Cheyenne tribe.

His departure is unlikely to be so lavish.

On Saturday morning, President Trump announced that Zinke will be leaving the Department of Interior by the end of the month.

Much like Scott Pruitt, who was forced out of the Environmental Protection Agency earlier this year, Zinke was undone by hubris, which gave rise to more than a dozen investigations into his behavior in office. And like Pruitt, he leaves behind a department whose upper ranks are stocked with savvier operators who will continue to undo regulations without incurring nearly as much negative attention.

without incurring nearly as much negative attention."

That's the model of the RW since Rove or before. Just gain a toehold and start pumping the little virii into the organization.
- Liberty U during W/Cheney's regime into the DoJ (some are probably still pustulating there.).
- George Mason U and its hotbed of RW indoctrination.
- Infecting lower-level organizations such as school boards, selectors, clerks.

Of course everyone wants to influence opinions. But this is a concentrated, well-orchestrated operation.
Who are the little men behind the curtain?

3. I just have to tell you...

I read DU for a bit, then have to get up to do the day's chores, but then find another good article you posted, then another, and stay stuck in the chair.
I think I am saying thanks.
