Brinton was a Trump advisor. |
This makes me so angry! I lost a small suitcase that was tracked onto the carousel--so I can only assume it was stolen. It had my laptop--yes I was stupid. But the person who has my bag was unethical to not recognize the damage done to me in not returning it. What a jerk! |
It's amazing how triggered you are that there is a thread about this person. Had SB been appointed by Trump, this thread would be hundreds of pages long. Continue huffing and puffing that we are discussing him. Something tells me SB would be thrilled with all the attention. |
Exactly. Why *wouldn't* there be a thread about this individual?? |
And he was a Biden cabinet APPOINTEE. That's just slightly different than an advisor. But you won't admit that, so... DP |
| Appointed? What was Brinton, a deputy assistant undersecretary or something like that? I don't recall anything like that ever rising to the level of Senate confirmation and all of that |
He was SES. |
I apologize, I had heard that he was appointed but I just looked it up and see that I was wrong. However, the "Deputy Assistant Secretary for Spent Fuel and Waste Disposition in the Office of Nuclear Energy" in the Department of Energy is hardly some low-level clerk. |
There were huge articles about him as well, like this one https://www.thefocus.news/culture/sam-brinton-biden/ From the article “ On 10 January 2022, activist and nuclear engineering graduate Sam Brinton accepted an offer to join the Department of Energy (DOE) in the Biden administration.‘ |
| That this inconsequential incident is a source of obsession for right wingers is hardly surprising. |
You have got to be kidding. Where have you been for the past 6 years? Have you forgotten about the numerous threads about people in the previous administration who were rumored to have done *something* inconsequential with multi-page threads about them? This is a Biden employee who stole - not once - but twice - with video evidence and in amounts that warrant a felony charge. |
| OP: The official may never get another job as he has too much baggage. |
It’s embarrassing for them, I agree. Turns out this “Biden admin” was a Trump hire. I guess they’re upset that Twitter files didn’t expose anything (except right wing ignorance). |
Lmao |
I recall them being quite a bit more substantial than "rumored" and not at all being inconsequential. |
