DHS sex scandal widens; ICE chief goes on leave

DHS sex scandal widens; ICE chief goes on leave. “DHS has gone from angrily denying that it has a sex scandal, to putting government workers on ‘voluntary’ leave.” What is the DHS been up to? Allegedly, this: “’She then looked at his crotch and asked, ‘How long is it anyway?’ according to the affidavit.” Good thing a GOP president isn’t in office or our esteemed MSM journ0lists would have permanently stained every pair of underwear they own over this by now.

  • It is time for this whole damn administration to take a leave. From the sound of it, the DHS is nothing more than a huge lesbian version of Animal House. Now that the harassment lawsuits will certainly be coming, we the taxpayers get screwed yet again by big sis and barry

  • I used to work in a place where I had to walk across the lobby to get to my boss' office, and a certain female counter person would always compliment my butt. ALWAYS. It's awkward for a guy. No matter what we do about it, we're going to be in the wrong. If a guy was making rude comments I could threaten to smash him in the mouth, but what can you say to a woman? Anything angry will get you in trouble for being threatening, anything lewd will get you in trouble for sexual harrassment. Yet - quick poll here people - women tend to be the lewdest and crudest people in the workplace. Anybody disagree?

    • I understand your discomfort. I am not a feminist by any means, but I have had coworkers look pointedly at portions of my anatomy and make inappropriate remarks, facial and/or hand gestures, and sounds. Some of my patients would try to feel me up when I was taking blood pressures. THey even made rude comments about THEM needing a rectal thermometer. Its disgusting. What your person is doing is sexual harrassment, just as it would be if the roles wre reversed. Politely call her on it, tell her it makes you uncomfortable and report her to HR if it doesn't stop. Evry company on the planet is hysterically afraid of a sexual harrassment suit.

    • IDK JP...know what happened to me today? There was some guy walking up the hallway with a volunteer. An outpatient I presume. I was headed in the opposite direction to get to the stress room where I had been called to. As I pass by he looks at me, turns his body toward me and says "Aw Lawd! I'd like to ride up her back with my tender kisses"....What the heck does THAT mean?...and how exactly is one supposed to respond? I just kept going cuz as I said I was needed elsewhere.

          • I should make you my publicist. Three million hits doesn't mean much on the Internet, but my trend is always up and THAT'S got to be a good thing.

          • Well, I'd like to think I helped you get there if even in a small way...I told my brother and he told everyone at the fire station...I don't know if any of them actually went to your site or started to tune in on Saturdays to broad view but they definitely would not have if they never got the word. Speaking of broad view...is Sean always on after you? Cuz here the last few weeks I find my blood pressure going up whenever he is at the mic...I hang in there as long as you are there though. And "Lady J" just eats whatever it is he is saying right on up...sometimes she just plain giddy over his garbage. Good thing I am not in the room and cannot be heard...that's all I can say about that.

          • uh, no...why don't you ask kick and/or Poppa to send you a private e-mail to explain it to you. Me? I'll remain innocent on that one.

      • I don't know what it means. It sounds kind of romantic but you can never tell with Southerners - they talk so smooth and polite they can make a lynching sound like spirited horseplay after Sunday School.

  • The trouble with huge government programs - the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing. Downsize the government!!
