Democrat Massachusetts lawmaker arrested for fraud, used stolen funds to purchase ''psychic services'': feds
[NYPOST] A federal grand jury has indicted a Massachusetts Democrat for allegedly stealing tens of thousands of dollars from a construction trade association he ran — and using the cash to pay off campaign debts and purchase a clothes dryer, air conditioner, dress shirts and ''personal psychic services.''
You'd think he'd see this coming?
State Rep. Christopher Flanagan raked in between $60,000 and $80,000 in salary as executive director of a Home Builders Association (HBA) on Cape Cod — but was on a tight budget as he began his 2022 campaign for the Bay State legislature.

In the indictment handed up by a Boston grand jury Thursday, prosecutors alleged that Flanagan stole $36,000 from the trade association for personal expenses between November 2021 and January 2023 — including $974.94 for an electric dryer and air conditioner, $1,050.30 for menswear at Macy's and $92.86 at Target.

#1 There's just nothing serious about the Democratic Party at this point:

With a strong focus on expanding access to quality early childhood education, building affordable and sustainable housing, as well as protecting our environment, doing so by introducing pieces of legislation and bills he has co-sponsored.

Not a single person who votes for Democrats gives a damm about effective government.

#2 How *stupid* do you have to be to set an alarm clock for every morning, get up and get ready, go to work for 8-10 hours, go home to a place you can barely afford, and then when it comes time to vote:

Cast your support for "early childhood education, sustainable housing, and protecting our environment"?

Why aren't there a THOUSAND Trumps pointing out how stupid this is?

#3 That's good for Boston. Now let's see what they can do for Los Angeles.

#4 And after looking into the homeless industrial complex, they can look into Newsom's train to nowhere.
