Yeah. He’s only off by about 200%.

The question is who is Zinke loyal to.

He’s the guy who doesn’t agree with the rest of the Republican party on federal land control.

He just isn’t as partisan about it as the Obama radicals were.

Seems to be a low number for the Federal Government Agencies across the board.

The agencies are dollar sponges. Their first loyalty is to themselves.

I don’t care if they’re loyal - I don’t want political zombies - but I do care if they’re following Trumps orders. If not they’re not doing their jobs and need to be fired.

Ask every federal government employee whether they voted for 0bama twice or not.

If they say yes, fire them. Reason? Employee did not show good judgment.

I have an uncle who worked in the Department of the Interior.

One third sounds way low to me.

They’re just to do their job!
Whatever political views they have they can express those after work!

The Hatch Act is supposed to cover this. It’s never enforced when a Rat is in office and “sort-of” enforced when a GOP’er is in office. I think it ought to be either equally enforced or repealed.

1/3? With 8 years of hires during obama, it should be 75%

I'm not surprised the number is even higher. Working around the NPS I've discovered they are far lefty Democrats of the nTh degree.

“He turned into a typical government union liberal moron”....

That, along with affirmative action tells you where those folks come from. More swamp draining needed.

Trump knows how to drain the swamp but “so many, so little time”. Will he be able to rid us of those losers in his first or even his second term. Right now, he needs one super major “Win”, AND BIGLY.

1/3 are actively subverting his agenda. Another 1/3 are hostile. And the last 1/3 are grudgingly doing their paper work. Imagine how bad things are at State, Homeland Security, Justice, Education, Health and Human Service, and Labour. The mood at the Pentagon is likely only slightly better given that most of those careerists are koolaid drinkers for the feminist/homosexual/transexual agenda.
