The Real_Politics and Conservatives streams would allow such postings; because they embrace honesty and humor rather than an ideological adherence to leftwing political correctness for their moderating guidelines.

SAM BRINTON NON BINARY DRAG QUEEN ALWAYS STEALS THE SHOW. AND THAT'S NOT ALL "THEY" STEAL... | made w/ Imgflip meme maker

(Does some Googling)

Sam Brinton is an LGBTQ Biden Admin official who's been accused (not convicted of) a minor crime involving some luggage.

This seems, in the grand scheme of things, not a significant political story. On the other hand, it is certainly delicious catnip for right-wing homophobes and transphobes, exploiting their unconventional appearance.

Not a mod here and can't explain their thought process regarding your meme, but I do see several other Sam Brinton memes featured here. Maybe you didn't make the alleged political connection clear enough.

Can confirm that a Herschel Walker meme submitted to PoliticsTOO was denied from politics stream for "not being political," so it happens to liberals too.

Hope this helps.

Felony grand theft up to 10 years in prison is not a minor crime.

"Felony grand theft up to 10 years."

Bruh. They took the wrong bag. lol.

It's just not comparable to an attempt to overthrow the U.S. Government. And, again: it's a charge, not a conviction. There is the possibility of a benign explanation. Whatever happened here, this seems like a case that will be dismissed or pled out. Not one that will result in high-profile trials and multiyear convictions like some of the Jan. 6 defendants (the "Mar-a-Lago martyrs" OP meme complains of).

[Does more Googling]

This person is the "Deputy assistant secretary of Spent Fuel and Waste Disposition in the Office of Nuclear Energy."

Biden admin official? More like "minor Biden admin official." "Minor minor," even. No one's ever heard of this person before, and no one ever will again. By the way, the next election is, at this point, 2 years away - a dubious news item like this won't be a decision-point for anyone. Political import: Minor.

On the other hand, in the much shorter term, stories that exploit LGBTQphobia fuel the risk of homophobic/transphobic hate crimes, like we saw all too recently in Colorado. And indeed, seems like right-wing memers are shoving just as much LGBTQphobia into this story as they possibly can.

Overall? A "close call." In my opinion.

Lady claimed +$3200, clothes plus $300 designer luggage. Assholes gets what they deserve. Just like carjackers who don’t look in back seat and drive off with child in car get charged with kidnapping.
Plus the asshole lied to a cop about not taking it.
Video clearly shows id tag being removed from bag at baggage carousel. Guess who did not check a bag for the flight.

Thieves can rot in hell.

Well-done. Now that we've established $3500 is your baseline for seeing thieves rot in hell, do Donald Trump's financial crimes.

Trump is charging 6x what other people are charged for at Mar-a-Lago for Secret Service officers guarding him. Right now, today.

Brinton WAS a LGBTQIA poster boy. Not any more.

Doubtful he’s heard from much again, unless he joins the other harpies on The View.

Felony theft is not a “minor crime”. It was not a mistake or confusion either, as he did not even check in a bag of his own when flying to be looking for on the luggage carrousel. — He was seen on security cameras. He pulled the bag off, removed her luggage tag, and put it in his own carry on bag.
