HuffPost: Zinke Inquired About Redesigning Interior Department Flag

By CAITLIN MACNEAL Published NOVEMBER 14, 2017 12:11 PM

Upon taking office, Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke looked into redesigning the department’s flag and making it bigger, emails surfaced by the Huffington Post on Tuesday show.

Zinke started inquiring about making the changes just one week after he became the department’s secretary, according to the Huffington Post. In an email one week after Zinke took office, an Interior Department staffer said that Zinke would be able to make the department’s flag and the interior secretary’s flag bigger, so long as they are not larger than the American flag that flies atop the building, according to an email obtained by the Huffington Post. The staffer said it was unclear whether Zinke could change the flags’ design, per the report.

As secretary, Zinke has started a new tradition of raising a secretarial flag atop the department’s Washington, D.C., headquarters when he is in the building, and raising the deputy secretary’s flag when Zinke is out of town.

He has also redecorated his office in the Interior Department with the heads of an elk and a bison mounted on the wall, the Huffington Post reported. He also brought in a taxidermy grizzly bear and bobcat, per the Huffington Post.

Zinke is one of several cabinet leaders to come under scrutiny for his spending, particularly on air travel. He used military and private planes to attend events in Montana and the Caribbean islands.

So this asshole thinks that its just fine and dandy to decorate the office he goes to with animals, that are in decline, in many parts of the country, which they use to inhabit all over the country at one point-----------------and the purpose of this, is to treat these animals as trophies---------------------sick fuck

And then today, we got to see how a traitor, deflected his answers and prolonged his answers so that the democrat's couldn't ask another set of questions, and then on the traitor side they were trying to use Info wars information to say that Clinton committed a crime on the U1 deal---------I threw my pillow at my screen.

Good thing I wasn't on the panel, my first question is that your "guy' pleaded guilty to lying, do you think I should have come in here and answer some questions while your sitting in that chair.................traitor






I wish we had a lying emoji-----------the one that comes closet is

having a flag raised (his own personal flag) and lowered every time he enters or leaves the building.

Like a fleet admiral in the Navy.

Wanting to redesign the DOI flag and make it as large as the US flag that is flown over government buildings...

Just plain nuts.

Perry, Carson, and DeVos are loonier. The others are more evil than crazy.
