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
Its not defending the guy when you’re painting with such a broad brush.
I can’t believe that you’re trying to define what you’re singing by what I’m saying. That beyond ridiculous into the absurd.
At this point, you’re obviously just trolling. I’m just gonna block you now.
The obvious troll calls another a troll. 😂 Good fucking riddance you crybaby.
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.
I’m not responsible for everyone else’s poor standards. Stop blaming me for your terrible choices, lol.
And your defense of Kash Patel is what’s distracting from what a real piece of shit he is. Rationalizations don’t change that.
Not defending Kash Patel, I’m dismissing your puritanism.
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.
No one here is defending Kash Patel, they’re saying that pissing in a bush isn’t a big deal, especially compared to many other things he’s responsible for. You’re just making yourself look like an idiot for not understanding this, you can agree that this isn’t a good look for him and does show relevance to today while also agreeing that pissing in a bush isn’t a big deal. Unless you do think it’s a big deal, in which case you need to touch grass.
that’s exactly what’s going on. its absurd to even deny it.
dude’s been a drunk his whole life, and here you all are trying to defend him. it’s pathetic
Okay you have to be trolling, no one can be this stupid and illiterate.
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.
All the article writers had to do was add the word “once”…
