The pilferers you cite have nothing on the two most obvious public crooks in the business, Trump and Musk. Trump, of course, sells sneakers, and Musk space ships, but the idea is the same thing.
As for John Dougherty spending $125 on his father’s birthday cake— a touching gesture, may I say— if you’re going to steal, steal big. It’s the best way to get away with it.
So let’s talk about the long “serving" Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Mitch McConnell, Joe Biden, and many others. How did they amass such wealth on the meager salary of a “public servant"? The only answer is subterfuge and criminality.
I did a quick check, and all four of them own townhouses on tiny streets in pre-revolutionary cities. So yes, you do share something with all of them. (I wonder where they park their limos...)

A rock and roll lyric comes to mind: "I'm a thief and I love it." I forget the band. Or maybe it was The Band.
