She was GETTING DRUNK at a bar. In sincere imitation of her hero, Trump, she was spending money given to her by gullible fools. THe best part is that the bar is owned by a Democrat, and is known for hosting Drag Shows. And the money was spent back in July. But wasn't "Beetlejuice" their FIRST date?

For example, like that skyrocketing scofflaw AOC attending a protest? Probably not, but now that credulity is in fashion why bother? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Missed that one, but I saw the other one where she accepted impermissible gifts and paid for them only after the investigation began. But the database does allows you to filter out the type of misconduct you're OK with, leaving only a handful of Reps that that didn't wear a mask on the House floor.

My database doesn’t allow that kind of filter but I accept that it is true for many. Really most were silly and should have no ability to command our attention when the last US president is under 4 indictments and ready to commit treason to destroy our democracy. There is where you should be looking. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The report noted that the congresswoman had met with a lawyer ahead of the gala to discuss potential ethics concerns and determined that she would pay for the services with personal funds, but a campaign staffer would be responsible for making the actual payments. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/alexandria-ocasio-cortez-met-gala-office-congressional-ethics-house-committee/ The above may or may not be true, but sometimes genuine mistakes are made. In other news, Sarah Huckabee used her Arkansas government credit card to pay $19000 (just under the mandatory oversight limit of $20,000) to her friend’s events company, just before they and a few other Trump campaign alumni went on a vacation to Paris. The invoice said it was for a lectern - even though there is no evidence her friend was in the lectern business, the invoice was for 2.5x more than that particular lectern should have cost, and no one could find any evidence or shipping documents to show that a lectern had been delivered. Then the state Republican Party wrote a check to reimburse the government for the cost, and the person delivering the check was specifically instructed to write ‘to be reimbursed’ on the original invoice and not to date it - falsely making it appear that was the plan all along. Then Sanders’ office released a photo of a lectern to show they really did buy one with the money - and the manufacturer said ‘hey that’s not one of ours, it’s a cheap knock off’. Anyway, long story short she flat out stole $20,000 of taxpayer money and May end up in federal prison. And for bonus points, her initial response to a journalist finding the dodgy payment was to attempt to change Arkansas Freedom of Information law so that no one would be able to catch her doing it again. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Republican Jeff Wilson from Washington state said he was charged with possession of an unregistered firearm and had a court hearing set for October 30.

I thought the same thing; then, I thought that he might have had it in his checked baggage on the outbound legs of his trip. He is still a GOP dufus.
