God Save The Zinke
Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke is already under investigation for extravagant personal expenditures of taxpayer money. We’ve paid for hockey games, ski lodges, steakhouses, and snorkeling, but what are these and a few charter jet rides to a guy who has his own damn flag and coin?
At the Interior Department’s headquarters in downtown Washington, Secretary Ryan Zinke has revived an arcane military ritual that no one can remember ever happening in the federal government.
A security staffer takes the elevator to the seventh floor, climbs the stairs to the roof and hoists a special secretarial flag whenever Zinke enters the building. When the secretary goes home for the day or travels, the flag — a blue banner emblazoned with the agency’s bison seal flanked by seven white stars representing the Interior bureaus — comes down.
Yep. Zinke: the Queen of Damn England.
Nobody can remember this ever happening since about 1917. Maybe it’s a 100 years of sanity celebration.
He also commissioned his own coin that he gives to who … I dunno, maybe taxpayers because they paid for the damn thing in the first place.
Nice of him to follow Trump’s gold theme, right?
Have a nice weekend thinking about ways the Trump administration is saving you money in Puerto Rico.
Thanks to Deb for the heads up.
