A couple months back, I told y’all about Chris Ward, who I suggested we all might want to buy drinks between the help he’s provided the Democratic party and the, um, jail time he was about to do for embezzling shitloads of money from Republicans. Just by way of an update, it turns out the dude embezzled more than $500,000 which he used to pay his insane mortgage and fund a 6-figure home improvement project. The GOP has attached his house, but he still gets to live in it because he randomly hasn’t been charged with any crime? Whatever, it’s cool. God, I just fucking love that he stole half a million from the National Republican Congressional Committee and they’re practically broke and can’t afford to help their own damn candidates this cycle.
