This is not what you want in a CEO. Disgraceful.

thebobbyb Good. No bail, please. Keep these plotters off the web and out of communication with their co-conspirators.

His company specializes in data, yet he can’t separate facts from fiction. Anyone see a problem here?

Lol I hope he gets his with the statues EO trump signed over the summer at least 🤣🤣🤣

20 years for insurrection. Enjoy your vacation Analytics CEO.

JulioVonMatterH ...the FUCK was he thinking!?

He'll be working as a CEO for another subsidiary with a raise and a golden handshake two months down the line. These despicable cretins always fall up.

thetimepast Although not enough to be fired. How typical of corporate leadership

thetimepast CEO doesn’t really amount to much.

He should serve a heavy sentence and never be given another professional opportunity in his life

Oh no.... Said nobody.

Consequences my dude.

Does that mean the job is open

Asshole

Followed people through the doors to 'see what was happening inside'. Lol. Phrased as if people didn't just climb walls, break windows and doors to get in. Just casual curiosity behind a bunch of guys holding bats, guns and confederate flags. Gimme a break.

TiredInOR4Now Sorry he got caught.

RexChapman one down!

Thoughts and...no I can't even give fake platitudes. He didn't stumble into an insurrection. He was not meandering on the lawn. Actions have consequences.
