Letting your emotional trigger finger make your business! Now, that can definitely be a double-edged sword. I know there are people out there who think I’m a jerk with my Jets spit bucket, my table littered with toys, and my colorful language. What does "spit bucket" mean here? I searched and I found this phrase: "don't amount to a bucket of spit", which means something is worthless. Thanks a lot in advance

A spit bucket is/was literally that: A bucket for spitting into. It is also called a spittoon. Personally, I've never seen one, let alone used one - I think they are mostly a thing of the past. Without knowing how old this quote is, I can't tell if it is something that was normal and relevant when it was written, or is used as a bit of a joke.
