but does his profile include his place of employment?
If so, then someone needs to send his picture inside the Capitol Bldg to his employer to let them know that he was part of this treason.

Forrest & Assoc Masonry....they are a good respectable contractor and have been for probably over 50 years in the DM area. They do not deserve any crap because of this dildo's actions. He is a laborer and has been for several years....all they do is carry blocks and mortar to the masons all day long. You could train a chimpanzee to do that, but it would be beneath their intellect. I wouldn't be surprised if he was on a temp layoff due to winter conditions here now and collecting unemployment. Typical of that job at this time of year.

In the 70's I worked for another contractor that often worked alongside Forrest & Assoc crews. They were generally really great guys. One of the Masons who worked for them that I really liked had a masters degree in English Literature. He had worked over a decade for them. It was just a job that allowed him to kind of keep to himself and not feel really pressured. He loved it and probably tested out at genius levels. My apologies if you felt slighted by my comment. That was not my intent. I only wanted to convey that there was nothing in Jensens employment that required tremendous problem solving capabilities. I'm getting close to retirement and one thing I've learned in the past half century of work is that the job you have is not a direct indicator of intellect. I've suffered under dumb as a rock CEO's and worked in ditches next to guys like the above mentioned English Lit guy. At the same time as I worked next to him I worked in the same basements and ditches with a guy who was in college at the time and is now head of a political consulting group in DC that routinely works for national and governor level campaigns. I eventually worked my way to being a part owner in an Engineering consulting firm. Another guy on our crew was an alcoholic Tennessee hillbilly that had a 6th grade education, but functionally probably wasn't beyond 1st grade. He was a good worker though and did what was expected of him, at least after he threw up every morning and cleared his head somewhat.

take one of those jobs because I am so old and kinda what we are relegated to, but the upside is there is not a massive responsibility or pressure and once out of work, I am free to play. And again, at my age, I prefer that to trying to climb the ladder. Thanks.

"KCCI has confirmed that Doug Jensen, of Des Moines, is an employee of Forrest & Associate Masonry in Des Moines. President & CEO Richard Felice told KCCI Jensen is a laborer at the masonry company. He has worked there for at least a few years. Felice said the company does not agree with the actions of their employee."

No indication they are going to fire this traitor. Anyone in Des Moines know about this company?

Back in the 70's I worked alongside some of their crews. Did good work, were professional and had a good reputation. They id'd him to the press, so I am guessing there is an internal discussion going on on how to handle this. I wouldn't immediately jump into any harrassment mode with them. It's not their fault he's a dildo. He probably is on a temp layoff right now because of weather and collecting unemployment. They may just decide not to call him back, might be easiest for them re: any rules pertaining to potential future challenge on accessing unemployment.

Fer christ sakes, they just found out a couple of hours ago. They are the ones that publicly outed him. He may already be fired, I don't know....I just see no reason to trip on them and go all nuclear hair on fire after his employer without knowing what course of action they have decided on.

The 70s was fifty years ago. A lot can change in 4 years, let alone 50. I'm not going into harassment mode but I do think they should fire this guy. Sure they can have discussions about how to handle it but at the end of the day they guy is a traitor and if I ran that company I wouldn't want be associated in any way.

I still live in the same town, still in the construction industry and their company office is located about 30 yards from mine. I am as aware as anybody as to what their rep is. My point is it wouldn't be proper to go flaming on them just 2-3 hours after they found out themselves. Give 'em a few minutes to get their ducks in a row.
