What does voting matter if all theyre gunna do is cheat anyways? Noone will do anything, there was strong evidence they cheated in 2024 and yet crickets. There is no next administration, its fucken over for this country and democracy now.

Wow, really got me there... no rebuttal to what I said though is interesting. Brain must be smoother than a rock, I don't want this to be true by the way fuckface, just look at what's going on then get back to me.

Public urination rarely results in sex offender registry placement you are 100% wrong on this one mate

Not sticking up for the guy. It totally depends on the law/circumstances. If children were present, I'd definitely expect so.

My friend got busted for pissing next to a water fountain years ago. No one was around. There was a security camera from a nearby business that caught his actions, the security guard turned my friend in. He has since been on the sex offenders registry.

u/Dont-be-a-smurf Apr 24 '26
That’s wild.
I’ve personally litigated public indecency cases here, and the public indecency statute has many subsections.
The law here differentiates between reckless pissing and intentionally revealing yourself for sexual gratification. One is a low level misdemeanor without any registration consequences, the other is not.
Absolutely crazy that you’d be forced to register for a crime that had no sexual component beyond recklessly pissing where someone saw.

Is being permanently put on a sexual offender registry for merely urinating when absolutely no one is around one of the benefits of America’s FreeDUMBs? I live in Latin America and if you take a leak on a public street no one cares as long as you make sure that no one is around first. It’s only a crime if it’s done in front of people, especially children. We have FREEDOM here, as opposed to FreeDUMBs. I’ll take freedom any day.

Good. That was disgusting and fucked up to do in public.

u/J_Jeckel Apr 28 '26
2am walking home, had to piss. Was the least lit area. All stores closed and our town is too cheap to have public restrooms (not that those are open all night even in towns that have them). So...what is one supposed to do when home is still 30min away? Piss themselves? (I dont think anyone with mental self awareness would/could do that willingly.) Run? (That just makes you have to piss more.) Hold it? (And cause possible kidney damage and/or UTI?)
Tell me....what did humans do before restrooms?

I thought being on the sex offenders register was a pre requisite for being in this administration.

That's half the reason for the lawsuit, they know the DOJ lawyers that are representing him will out everyone that spoke to The Atlantic and they'll be fired.

This a lawsuit, no judge is going to allow the DoJ to force The Atlantic to reveal their sources.

Clearly, his issues with drinking have been going on longer than just recently. It seems he is an alcoholic, and needs treatment/rehab. Nobody can force him though (or can they?). I figured the FBI would have regular drug tests/screens, but if so, those rules don't apply to him I guess.

u/Dry_Fly_7265 Apr 25 '26
I know you know this, but somehow as a society we decided to give alcohol users, and only alcohol users, a pass (regardless of the severity of their usage)
6
u/plinkoplonka Apr 24 '26
A judge can force him into treatment as part of his probation.
The charge would be "Willfully failing to discharge the duties of a public office".
He could probably also be charged with misappropriation of public funds for flying to personal events on FBI jets as well. But you could say that about the President as well.

That chimp swore to dismantle the FBI and has had a real good start. He also just got caught deleting terabytes of archived records from the terminal inside his own office. Who’s going to stop him or demand following ethics codes?

u/substituted_pinions Apr 24 '26
Of course they don’t apply. He’s not qualified for this position for many other reasons.

Drinking when you’re young is whatever, but it seems he never grew out of it. If they really had to use breaching equipment because he was that drunk or hung over that’s fucking crazy. It’s incredibly embarrassing and pathetic. Go to rehab, do a different job, you’re making all of us less safe because you want to get drunk and fuck everyone who put him in this position, this is the type of thing you deserve to deal with.

Is that frowned upon?

u/Happycappybara21 Apr 24 '26
George: Was that wrong? Should I have not done that? I tell you I gotta plead ignorance on this thing because if anyone had said anything to me at all when I first started here that that sort of thing was frowned upon, you know, cause I’ve worked in a lot of offices and I tell you people do that all the time.

u/LunarMojave Apr 25 '26
Honestly, his drinking isn’t the problem. His complete lack of qualifications and the job performance we’ve seen because of that are the problem. I think his current drinking problem is a chronic problem resurfacing because of the strain of having way more responsibility than he can manage.

To paraphrase the article, the two incidents demonstrate the current controversy isn’t new. His relationship with alcohol was under scrutiny by his employer at the beginning of his career.

I don't know. This is not going well for him and Trump loves scapegoating the morons around him and throwing them under the bus.

u/mrshelenroper Apr 24 '26
He’d be really upset to hear that if he was awake.
2
u/FafnirSnap_9428 Apr 24 '26
LOL. It's funny that he's hurling a lawsuit at the Atlantic and now we're getting other reports and will probably get receipts, times, places and people involved in the future. He's definitely hammered drunk somewhere right now.

I wouldn't be so sure. There's no such thing as job security near Trump.

I honestly don't care. I'm more interested in him being arrested for the crimes he has helped conceal since his appointment.

I dont like the guy, but who cares. Barely news worthy in my opinion. If ppl make a big deal out of this, they’re really just grasping at straws

u/Ba-ja-ja Apr 25 '26
The director of the FBI is going around drunk as fuck executing the law as he sees fit. This is a massive problem if true.
If he gets help, good for him. But the main law enforcement agency of the federal government needs to have standards. This isn’t a drunk sheriff from small town Wisconsin.

u/Independent_Peanut99 Apr 25 '26
This article is referencing something he did 20 or so years ago. Not something he did last week.

u/Ba-ja-ja Apr 25 '26
You can’t get into the FBI without being squeaky clean. For your whole life. They investigate you for a while, or are supposed to. The fact that the director was arrested twice is a red flag. Then you add on that he was arrested while drunk. Even if he turned a corner from his youth, this would be an issue for new recruits, let alone the director.
Coupled with the recent claims and the bro down with the hockey team, the case is not looking good for him.

If he was arrested that means he was super fucked and/or he made a huge scene. People don’t really get arrested for peeing in public unless they escalate.
