    Last month, a federal grand jury indicted Cherfilus-McCormick, 46, on charges that she stole millions in funds allocated for FEMA. Of the disaster relief money she allegedly stole, she spent $109,000 on a 3.14-carat diamond ring from a New York City jewelry store in 2021, according to the Miami New Times.

    … She looks like a parody character from GTA.

    The smile is too perfectly fake, if that makes any sense.

    President accused of pedophilia, and convicted of a goddamn fuck ton of fraud, found legally to be a rapist, and basically a narcissistic abusive twat, does not hide wealth and instead accepts planes as gifts from foreign governments while evangelicals in his cult tell everyone else how bad they are.

      If she’s guilty then throw her in prison. No one’s acting like there aren’t corrupt democrats out here. But have you looked at the other side lately?

        Oh absolutely, the post was supposed to be sarcasm, and I should have remembered the obligatory /s, which usually seems silly to me when I see it in the wild but then forget that sarcasm is completely invisible in text format. So my bad on that one.

        The absolute batshit tomfoolery on the part of the MAGAmaniacs out there completely eclipses this by a long shot, but this is still egregious on its own merit.

        I’d honestly exchange disappearing people into foreign gulags for a bit of bog standard corruption at this point.

          Not that we should want to normalize “regular corruption” though, it’s definitely an Overton window that doesn’t need extra mobility in that direction at this point in time hahaha
