Presented without comment... [Sam Brinton alleged suitcase theft]

Gender expression‽ Dragging up like Carmen Miranda and posing for a photo in front of the Capitol Building then posting it on Instagram isn't gender expression, it's making an exhibition of oneself. Nothing at all wrong with that--JUB has a whole subforum devoted to it so none of us has any pearls to clutch--but let's call it by its right name. If Sam looks at the Mail, or any other papers that took up the story, it's probably water off a duck's back to him. He must be media savvy enough to know that those pictures are going to be gobbled up by the press. Inflation is over 11%, the rail unions are on strike, there's a war on and the weather's horrible. They're on the lookout for something to take the readers' minds off all that during their tea break. That's entertainment.

There's much more to this story than the suitcase. Much more.

And U.S. gays have good reason to be upset with Sam.


The first hearing is scheduled for December 19, if I recall correctly. The Whitehouse has been silent.

Tell us. Why an entire country of homos should be upset.
 
The guy stole a suitcase from a luggage carousel at the airport. That is illegal. They should be held accountable. The fact they were non-binary is not relevant to the crime. The only thing that makes it a point is that some people, including this thread and the right-wing media, want to make an issue out of "non-binary" and use it as a "woke, own-the-libs" political hammer against Democrats and President Biden.

It's a dogwhistle, like Kanye with the volume on low. It's them again. The pronoun gang.

Unfortunately, due to the sensational angle, the story falls into the categories of celebrity news and political dogwhistle simultaneously. It would be interesting for a sociologist to do a survey of those seeing it to register how they viewed it as the read it. It is comparable to the whole Travon Martin scandal. A young man was murdered due to profiling and the hoodie because a flashpoint, regardless of the reality that a great many robbers DO wear hoodies. Both stories swirl around the validity or invalidity of profiling behaviors.
 
Shocker, we've landed on the recurring theme: *stated as innocently as possible* 😇 'Gee golly gosh maybe it's perfectly normal to profile people?' 😇

And of course the dogwhistle pivot to the TRAYVON Martin murder "scandal."

Yeah, we definitely need a sociologist to unpack this. ALL OF THIS.

Because of this...and the almost doxing of family members and dredging for photos and personal history in the articel makes it clear that the whole intent was to make sure that readers would only think Freak Show and all non-binary, trans and homos once again get flagged as curiousities with pathological behaviours. Pure shit 'jouranlism'.

Sick of this shit.

@ profiling behaviors

You must have some knowledge/experience as to U.S. government security clearance.

Is it normal for a felon, convicted or confessed, to acquire and maintain security clearance in the U.S.?

What sort of 'red flags' do they look for?
 
Good question.

Although I held a Secret Clearance for several years, I was not aware of the vetting process beyond what it required me to provide. As I had never had any arrest beyond a traffic ticket, I had no worries about felony background. And, I've never been aware of working alongside any convicted felon in my aerospace work.

But, I am aware of how corporate security officers behave and how conservative the entire industry is. To that point, I have eschewed moving employers recently solely because the jobs that pay well enough in my professions invariably list a security clearance whether they are truly needed or not. I'm just too old to be giving the names of my friends overseas as if normal friendships internationally constitute security threats, and yes, being a single gay male I do believe would make me to be considered a security risk because I have men friends abroad.

Also akin to the Travon Martin hoodie profiling and the gender bending attire and stigmatizing in yellow journalism, actual statistics and probabilities would never enter the equation when it comes to suspecting gay men of being more vulnerable and at risk for espionage than straight men. Statistics should matter, especially when addressing WHY profiling occurs, yet they won't be forthcoming when addressing crime, racism, police using excessive force, or transgender "norms." Whether it's NBC, CBS, Fox, NPR, The Daily Mail, PBS, The Huffington Post, or The Guardian, you can count on the journalists avoiding signficiant data sets and going for the visceral hysteria content. Rhetoric prevails.
 
/\ Thanks

I would think that honesty/integrity history would also be a big concern in background checks. Like, do we feel comfortable with an admitted liar and thief *advising presidents on matters of nuclear waste.*

*Sam has been doing this for two administrations, first for Donald Trump.

Now Sam has admitted to intentionally stealing over $3,000US worth of personal property.
 
Sorry to be cynical, but if lying were grounds for debarrment from serving in a president's administration, I'm not sure who would be left. [stares, no blinking]

Likewise, giving sound or unsound advice would similarly be no prerequisite.

In my estimation, a thief is among the lowest of the low, but there are those who may have had a spotless security clearance (were he to have been veteted) like the My Pililow bastard, whom I would like to see behind bars, should he be found guilty of criminal conspiracy to overthrow the U.S. government, but I might be a dreamer.

It sure does, even on JUB. And for the 2nd time, it's Trayvon although the misspelling futher highlights the use of him as a mere prop and is almost certainly deliberate. Another wink-wink nudge-nudge LOLZ oopsie! moment.
 
Methinks the term "publicity stunt" isn't used often enough any more.

Trump's entire 2016 campaign was one, and it worked. This "thief" may be merely trying to defibrillate a failed comedy career attempt.
 
Apparently the need to wipe the ass with itchy fingers and fling shit from inside the cage is strong with this one.
