If only he'd sent war plans, he could have just shrugged and moved on like nothing happened.

[–] [email protected] 38 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Maybe a video of him jerking off to war plans

Some of the best parts-

"City Attorney Stefanie Stalheim told investigators she had spoken to Ross about a police officer’s suicide just minutes before she received a video of the mayor going to town on himself."

"Ross tried to put the jack back in the box — explaining to Stalheim that he recorded the “sexy video for his girlfriend” on his lunch break and requested the attorney delete the smut and keep the entire incident between the two of them.

The wanker later told city investigators that his girlfriend’s name also begins with the letter ‘C,’ which is why the vulgar vid was mistakenly sent to a contact saved as ‘City Attorney,’ the outlet reported."

As to political party, the post is "apolitical," so there is no party affiliation.

We already know there's like a 90% chance it's a Republican, even without knowing that this is rural North Dakota.

Confirmed

From back before he was mayor: 'Alderman Tom Ross disagreed. “Obviously, since I’m the only one up on the dais without a face mask, I’m going to speak to the other side,” he said.'

I'm sure the post would've highlighted it if it were a democrat. Just fascist propaganda things...

ffs, personal shit on personal devices, work shit on work devices. That way you don't fat finger dick picks to colleagues.

Even better practice is to assume that all your phone data is public.

Amateur. You're supposed to blame Chinese hackers paid for by George Soros, and go on like nothing happened.

lunch-break masturbation

Oh of course! Sandwich, milkshake, masturbate. That's lunch break, right?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Wait, isn't this how everyone does WFH lunch?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I knew I was forgetting something... Need to find my blender.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

...For the milkshake, right?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

Is this sarcasm? Its pretty normal.

What's not normal is recording a video of it and sending that video to a coworker. That's the part that's not ok

You gotta wonder what the fuck was going through that idiot's head. If you want to end your career, just resign. You don't actually have to do something like this first.

Wonder if he thought there was something going on between them so he decided to escalate it to the "How can she resist a guy jerking off?" level.

Why is this grounds for resignation? He clearly said he sent it by accident.

Could happen to anyone.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 2 days ago

Sure he SAID it was an accident, AFTER she reacted with outrage. Then he tried to shut her up. That's the behavior of someone who's gotten away with this behavior before, probably with women who were in a more vulnerable position. She wound up filing for sexual harassment, so this may be the tip of the iceberg for his behavior. It's what she had evidence for.

Couldn't happen to anyone that doesn't masturbate on their lunch break.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago

I know! Could literally happen to anyone!

Are you also jacking it at work in your lunch break?

[–] [email protected] 46 points 2 days ago (9 children)

It’s like pooping, why would I wait until I got home if I could be paid to do it at the office?

Lol, he even looks a little like Louis C.K.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 2 days ago (1 children)

This sounds like something a Republican would do.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Apparently he's nonpartisan, at least according to this daily beast article And while I agree with you to an extent, the REAL Republican thing to do would be to not resign, and try to blame the city attorney for hacking his phone.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 days ago (1 children)

You're juste using proper numeric hygiene by locking your phone when you masturbate during lunch breaks. Like everyone ought to.

Why is everyone doing sex stuff over zoom of all places

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 days ago (2 children)

They aren’t..the Canadian was changing from joggers to his work clothes and left a camera on so I’m not even sure why that got collected into masturbating. Unless people here are so unfamiliar with the naked body they don’t know these are separate things.

Without reading the article, I think I have a better than 50/50 chance at guessing the mayor’s political party.

[–] adarza 18 points 2 days ago

technically a 'non partisan' office, but my guess is the same as youRs.
