    Flip a district for the GOP, no pardon for you.

    Spend a cop’s memorial fund on your boobs? Full pardon!

    It is genuinely uplifting to see that sometimes actions have consequences

    Was it a state crime, or is Trump going to pardon him?

    So fraud can be linked with jail time? Time to do the same to Fascist 47.

    Man outside of being an objectively horrible person, he might be the most comedically hilarious politician of our time.

    Andy Kaufman levels of comedic genius if it were a character.

    All this small-time conman wanted to do was run a losing race in a safely Blue district, raise as much money as possible, and then walk away with his campaign chest to spend however he pleased. Its illegal, but nobody EVER gets charged with dipping into their campaign fund once they are out of office. It simply NEVER happens.

    It could have been the perfect crime, except the district lines got redrawn, and he found himself in a more competitive district, and stumbled into a win, and the national spotlight was instantly on him. Every photo of him had that deer-in-the-headlights expression because he KNEW he was in way over his head. Cons work best when they are on the down low, and now he was way too well-known to fly under the radar.

    Hilarious.
