This does not add up. Another grifting con.

1. I'm sure that in Rifle, that just makes her smart.

[ornotna]

2. Oh come on!

She just wants to wet her beak a little.


If it's good enough for Don the Con........

3. Images of Duncan Hunter? Too late for a Trump pardon

[COL Mustard]

27. No, He Can Still Pardon Her Until March 4.

That's the date in the original Constitution, you know.......

[Under The Radar]

29. Yea the original inauguration date in the constitution,

Then a constitutional amendment changed the date, all 48 states ratified it following the guidelines es of the original constitution.
My question is this, that since there was no speed limit set on the interstates in the original constitution, I can drive as fast or slow as I want to and to charge me, fine me or arrest me is that a violation of my constitutional rights?

[COL Mustard]

33. You Raise An Excellent Point

Since there were no airplanes back then, Constitutional literalists should not be allowed to fly either!

Mule trains for them. Let’s see how long it takes Lauren to get home that way. (And that assumes that she’s riding, not pulling!)

4. Potential excuse: "I got lost a lot driving around my district"????????????

[underpants]

5. She put a car up on blocks and let it run.

She saw it in a movie.

[Piratedog]

6. She pulled a Ferris Buehler

[underpants]

8. When Cameron was in Egypt's land...let my Cameron gooooo

Exactly

[TwilightZone]

16. Didn't work in the movie.

Of course, that wouldn't stop her. She lives in her own reality.

[ResistantAmerican17]

7. It was a long way to the GED tutor's shop.

[underpants]

11. Oh! That hurt.

If she moved the decimal two spots and thought she got $57.50 per mile


That would be 382.6 miles.

[Hassler]

9. Grifting is second nature to Trumpanzees

[JDC]

10. Roughly 38k miles at last years' rate of 57.5 cents rate p/

And I rounded up to .58 cents.

[ProfessorGAC]

14. 104 Miles A Day

Every day for a year!
How long could a commute be within district? She drive to DC?

[ChazInAz]

28. Bit of driving, that.

One and a half times around the world.
Impressive.

[JDC]

31. Basically 105 miles per day, every day for 1 year

I used to commute 150 miles round trip, 5 days a week in and out of Boston metro-west area from the NH seacoast, plus misc trips to NY, CT and RI cities. I did about 30k in 2016 before I moved.


I guess it could be done, but one can't escape the fact that she is clearly there for the grift and doesn't exactly give off an honest and trustworthy vibe to say the least....

Does the article mention the time period in which she did all this driving? I assume to "campaign" here in CO?

On edit- I could get to a quick glance of the DPost article before the paywall popped. They lay it out, including the mileage required, and it was for campaigning between Jan and Mid-Nov.

12. Criminal grifter, like her hero trump

Disgusting!

[iluvtennis]

19. + agree. nt

[GP6971]

13. The IRS rate for last year

was 57.5 cents per mile (business reimbursement)...that equates to over 38,000 miles.

[tanyev]

15. I guess Trump flags are the new red.

[Blue Owl]

17. Are they sure that's not her silage reimbursement?

[bottomofthehill]

18. If she averaged driving at 50 miles an hour

She spent over a month in her car.

[Marcuse]

20. Her personal car:

[GETPLANING]

21. Sounds like she is confusing mileage reimbursement with a car payment

Taxpayers are buying her a new car.

[Generic Brad]

22. No wonder. She's always going in the wrong direction

Clearly she is lost.

[Dem2theMax]

23. ...

[Ford_Prefect]

24. It was compensation for all those critical ammunition deliveries to her district...

[DinahMoeHum]

25. She learned from the "best"

[SunSeeker]

26. Typical MAGAt grifter. nt

[trueblue2007]

30. she is a crook

[nakocal]

32. The extra expense is from her always running her mouth
