#1 As disgusting as this POS is, it deserves it’s day in court as so far it’s only been charged. DOE is right to avoid any unlawful

termination lawsuits.
However, after it’s been found guilty, swift dismissal must follow. But i expect the Bidet regime will do the wrong thing and promote the thing. Ambassador to San Francisco, perhaps?

#2 Remember: If you are straight, white and have a clean record, you are lower on the totem pole than this thing.

#3 Seems a Secty of the Interior told an off color joke and the mob demanded his resignation and got it during the Reagan era. You're not going to have a real opposition party till they learn to say FOAD.

#4 Kind of hard to deny when there's actual video.

And others have been fired for far, far, less.

On wait... those were heterosexual males... nevermind!

#5 The current administration endorses slight of hand, theft, and debauchery. Briton is simply a poster-person for the greater democratic party.

Not a great deal to see here, and likely nothing will come of any of it.

#8 Maybe he has a suitcase kink. He could fit into one, with a little forced bending.

#9 I cannot imagine that this POS still has an active Clearance given pending felony charges. So, aside from administrivia, what does it do at work? A felony conviction should end it's federal employment opportunities, but the power of the GHEY coalition in the Puppet Show is vast, far beyond pesky things like law and standards!

#10 Surely he self-reported the two incidents to his security manager.

But, hey, Jared Kuschner had a TS/SCI clearance.

#11 I would be delighted to draft the required Serious Incident Report (SIR) and request for suspension of access pending the outcome of investigation.

#12 Ok, I wish it full health until he gets shoved down some stairs.
