Biden taps non-binary drag queen to look after nuclear waste

I was going to put this in Progressive Stupidity, but it needed its own thread. I can't even. Really.

Biden taps non-binary drag queen to look after nuclear waste: MIT graduate and 'kink activist' says it will be 'enormous challenge' to take on top level Department of Energy role

A non-binary drag queen who poses online with people in bondage gear and dressed up as a nun has claimed to have been given a job in Biden's Department of Energy.

Sam Brinton, who uses the pronouns they/them, wrote on LinkedIn last month that they have accepted the job of 'Deputy Assistant Secretary of Spent Fuel and Waste Disposition.

'In this role I’ll be doing what I always dreamed of doing, leading the effort to solve the nation’s nuclear waste challenges.

'I’ll do all I can to bring innovative thought into this government role. I’ll even be (to my knowledge) the first gender fluid person in federal government leadership. But most importantly, I am going to be responsible for finding solutions to a problem I have dedicated my life to that has been stymied for decades.

'Yes, I know it won’t be easy. Yes, I realize this is an enormous challenge. Yes, I am ready to take it on.

'You cannot fathom how excited I am. Nervous, but so so so excited. I truly wish I could be celebrating with each of you in person since this is a day I have dreamed of for more than a decade,' Sam, an activist, said in the LinkedIn post.

The White House has not confirmed the appointment, despite repeated requests from DailyMail.com.

Sam has previously worked for anti nuclear waste organizations and LGBTQI organizations.


The Biden administration has hired the first non-binary person to a federal government leadership position, according to Sam Brinton, who will now serve as deputy assistant secretary of spent fuel and waste disposition in the office of nuclear energy for the Department of Energy

Shrug. So?

 

Jeesuzzz. I don't know what to do with that post.

Toto, we most definitely are not in Kansas anymore.

 

Well this is what happens when you roll in nuclear waste.

 

Just curious, would you hire this person to work in your office, Ricter? And if you did, what would your boss think?

 

I'm retired now, but yes I would have. I once hired a guy with tattoos over his whole body and up to and including his ears. Personally, I thought it was disgusting, but he was QUALIFIED.


^ Most of these weirdos are also astronauts.

 

And what did your customers think of him? Or was the role strictly non-customer facing.

 

His role was mixed in that sense, and I never heard a peep about it from our customers (or his staff).

 

this person dreamed of dealing with nuclear waste.... how many people dream of that job..... you have to give them the job no matter what they look like if you find someone who actually considers that a dream job

 

LOL...ok, fair point.
