Well, she’s a felon so, as a Republican, she meets the quals and can tick that box off.

“”"“I am not guilty of these crimes,” she told the Guardian. “In this country I am innocent until proven guilty and that is the law.”"""

Then she hauled ass like all innocent folks do.

This has to worry a lot of Republicans. They are all thieves but rarely are they petty. .

But, she does have that really big cross hanging around her neck. That should help.

It was a pick-me-up for me too. I suspect she’s more wack job than criminal, but either way it’s amusing. And for extra cheerful fun times, there’s a big bear wandering around Monrovia, California. All over the news especially because people are going up like eight feet from it and taking phone videos. If it doesn’t find its way back to the woods soon someone’s going to get nicely mauled.

To be fair, she really needed those things she allegedly shoplifted, and is probably on camera hiding and taking out of the stores after paying for them just slipped her mind… She’s running for Congress, so she needed some Target private brand wardrobe items. And, I mean, someone would deny necessities for her cats? Why put things out on store shelves if they aren’t for the taking.

Hope so. Human/Bear interactions should be kept to a minimum.

I’m glad she’s solicitous of her kitty but by the time you’ve spent 40 bucks you’ve gone past necessities, even in those boutiquey pet places.

Little known, even to historians of the era, Torquemada was a well known shoplifter who regularly stole indulgences from the Vatican gift store.

I used to get giant bags of special prescription food from the vet and it didn’t cost that much. I think this woman just likes to steal stuff.
