The mayor of a North Dakota city promptly resigned after texting a city attorney a video of himself masturbating on his lunch break, which he claims was sent by accident.

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

      If it was Trump he would’ve just grabbed his crotch in front of the press and said “Tariffs!”

    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.

        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.’

        This almost happened to me at work. I almost pasted some NSFW text to work slack because i was trying to copy a link but i didnt realize that for some reason the link didn’t copy. So when i pasted the text to slack, it pasted my last copied text which contained some NSFW content. I was so panicked but thankfully i did not send the message. At the same time idk if i would want to carry two phones with me At all times. I would also need to keep both phones charged. Urg. I wish there was a way to keep your clipboard separate between personal and work profiles.
