    What was with that 10 sec. pause when he was asked if he purchased illegal drugs? Did he have to think about how much drugs did he buy or what?

      Is it really that hard to see? He had to choose between lying or incriminating himself. Took a lot of guts (and a few seconds to summon the nerve) to choose truth.

    I would let him finish his term with the condition that one more incident and he's gone. It was his time off. He can put in his body whatever he feels like on his own time, like crack, beer, burgers, dog poop. I've heard he's done a good job so far in office. People need to chill. Who here thinks that you can tell another adult what to do with their life if they aren't hurting someone else. His skeletons are out. I don't worry about them, I worry about the ones you're hiding.

    So if you’re a federal worker and you admit to doing drugs and get caught doing drugs, you don’t go to jail and you keep your job
    Do you know what happened to me if I openly admitted doing drugs on video? I would never have a job I would basically have the cops visit me. And be investigated.

    So can I apply for his job? I'm looking for work. Surely if they elect a guy like him they'll accept a foreign citizen. I'm sure the position will be vacant soon. When can I apply?

      He’s probably more of a binger than a daily drinker/user so he doesn’t call it an addiction.
