    omg - FEMA executive made personnel decisions about female employees in ways that would help his friends working at the agency “try to have sexual relationships with them” https://wapo.st/2Ow8xcj pic.twitter.com/MC82NSpgro

        Ah, so this is what men mean when they say "women sleep their way to the top." They mean they selectively promote women to coerce them into sex. Now I get it.

        The sexual harassment part is horrible but the part about hiring unqualified people at FEMA probably killed people or at least ruined their lives.

        Who was the man that hired him? The article states that he was passed from dept. to dept. because the morale of those under him was so poor. With good reason!

        agreed. He actually (apparently) was hired as a fed back in 2001. FEMA in 2011. My point is, it isn't Trump or Obama or Bush. The guy is just a slimeball.

        Or it's all of them, all of us, and the way we push white collar predators around the government like The Church does to priests. And it's not just government. Private sector does it too. It reminds me a lot of fired cops hired next door. Rinse repeat.

        I have lots of family that work(ed) for the Fed. They say it's nearly impossible to fire someone. That's a real problem

        Just like the Catholic priesthood. So why are those who enabled his activities not being let go as well?

        Think about this when you think about decisions that are made in your local community and nationally, and just how many of those decisions were potentially made by people who had no business being there in the first place. This is why the "Good Ole Boys" stuff has to die.

        When I worked at a big four accounting firm, I found out the the same thing was going on with the new hires. How horrifying to be an accountant (AN ACCOUNTANT FOR GOD'S SAKE!) and be told you must dress sexier and 'stroke' ego's to get work. The war against women. Yuck.

        This sounds uncomfortably like exactly what would happen in this administration if Mike Pence instructed FEMA to build an ark

        This is your GOP and Trump, 2018. No interest in governing, just owning the libs.

        Unfortunately, the guy was hired in 2011, not a Trump appointee.
