This was over 20 years ago. Let’s focus on his modern fuck-ups instead when he was barely of drinking age.
It demonstrates a lifetime pattern of irresponsible drinking, which is relevant to the discussion. This isn’t a new thing, something that happened from the pressures of his new job, etc. This is a lifelong problem that has been ignored, and is now a National Security Threat.
I wanted to downvote you for this opinion but, I think you might actually be right in this context.
Oh, we are absolutely focused on his current f***-ups. And we also look to the past to see if it’s been happening for a long time, which it has.
I mean look, if you’ve been an alcoholic for decades and now you try to lie to people and say that you don’t have a problem with booze, people are going to go to your old drunken Facebook posts, point them out, and laugh at your lying ass. That’s just common sense my friend.
You are allowed to swear here on the internet, but if you truly don’t want to say fuck-ups then just don’t say it. Or change it to from fuck-ups to foul-ups, mess ups, or something.
See, I’m petty, so self censoring just makes me not want to agree with you.
However, fucks sake, I do agree with you…but begrudgingly. FUCK UPS.
Your one self censorship had led to me writing fuck-ups four times.
Oh fuck it’s contagious.
It’s fucking spreading!
The fuckupalypse!
it helps to establish a pattern of behavior. it’s relevant.
agree with jack, the headline is massively misleading.
headline should have made it obvious that this is something from the past, showing that his current drunkenness is a fundamental problem of his, as it is rooted in a pattern
I don’t disagree that the title is misleading, but that wasn’t Jack’s complaint. And I didn’t change the article’s original title, particularly because I crossposted this to several comms, some of which have rules against this.
All y’all saying the right things
This is old. Who hasn’t peed in a bush once, or thrice, etc
But most of us aren’t foolish enough to do so in a visible/observable way, and most of us aren’t currently part of the Drunkard’s Parade that’s fuckin up the country with great enthusiasm and effect.
not someone who should be running the FBI
This is the kind of shit which makes it hard to take liberal news sources seriously.
Genuinely, if you have a problem with some one who caught a ticket for public urination in their, honestly whenever, I don’t want to be politically aligned with you.
It’s a stupid form of puritanical politics I want nothing to do with. The guy is a piece of shit now, that is what matters.

GTFO of my DM’s son. If your ideas can’t stand up to the light if day, don’t bother sharing them.

It’s pretty ridiculous that anyone would defend this guy, or especially that you would call it “Puritanical politics“
That’s what makes it so hard to take you seriously
The fuck else would you call what you are catching mass down votes for?
If you would you consistently apply this standard to all candidates, I would want NOTHING to do with your political project.
I want people who’ve both pissed in public and gotten caught. I want people who have had real human lives not those secured by the guardrails of class or capital. This guy’s a cunt but not because he caught a minor infraction 20 years ago and focusing on that is distracting from the real price of shit that he is.
Imma be real with you. If you find a candidate for that role who claims not to have had such minor indiscretions in their past: that person is lying. Whether that makes them a good or bad candidate for the FBI is left as an exercise for the reader.
Defending Kash Patel with some hypothetical isn’t a strong argument, especially, because, ya know, Kash Patel, who would make a good or bad candidate is, in fact, up to congress.
The problem isn’t that he ever did this, the problem is that it was entirely believable that he would do it today (because he’s a careless idiot, not a college student who would later stop such shenanigans). But I agree with the person saying it’s old news and not really worth bringing up right now especially given the misleading title.
Who hasn’t peed behind a bush when they were drunk
Pissing outside is one of life’s great joys, sober or intoxicated.
And persecuting the enemies of El Jefe! Ha haaaa!!
The important thing is you weren’t also serving as head of the fucking FBI when you peed in the elevator.
Err was it behind a bush?
Yeah, behind a bush!
In my youth I have also been to the Government Hotel for public urination. And it does indeed correlate to my present behavior of peeing outside.
It doesn’t matter. None of it actually matters. It’s all just theater, distraction and misinformation hiding political power which is utterly detached from legality, morality or decency.
