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

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

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 38 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Maybe a video of him jerking off to war plans

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 48 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Can we ban nypost from this comm please? They're not a credible source

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.

lunch-break masturbation

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

[–] JayleneSlide@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] marker2002@midwest.social 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] faultyproboscus@sh.itjust.works 2 points 23 hours ago

...For the milkshake, right?

[–] jagged_circle@feddit.nl 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.

[–] Lawdoggo@lemmy.world 20 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Probably lead particles and ivermectin

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.

[–] Pudutr0n@feddit.cl 66 points 1 day ago (7 children)

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

Could happen to anyone.

[–] yarr@feddit.nl 11 points 1 day ago (4 children)

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

[–] Pudutr0n@feddit.cl 7 points 1 day ago

I know! Could literally happen to anyone!

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.

[–] WuceBrillis@lemm.ee 36 points 1 day ago (12 children)

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

[–] NJSpradlin@lemmy.world 46 points 1 day 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?

This sounds like something a Republican would do.

[–] Mister_Feeny@fedia.io 21 points 1 day 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.

Im a male, with a job, and had 0 accidents. Am I doing something wrong?

[–] GrosPapatouf@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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