MI Rep. spends campaign funds at strip club: guess his political party

A Michigan Democratic state representative blew $221 in campaign funds at a strip club, according to his financial disclosures, showing that not only is he honest, but he is also an idiot. I mean, what do you get going to a strip club besides overpriced drinks and a chance to get to look at stripper nipples [so I've been told].

Rep Jewell Jones' most recent quarterly disclosures list a "constituent meeting" in March at the Pantheion Club in Dearborn, Michigan [aka Dearbornistan]. The club's venue is a topless dancing club calling itself "the oldest and most established gentlemens [sic] club in Michigan." 

The "purpose" for the strip club expense described the meeting and stripper nipple viewing as a discussion of "potential economic projects" in Inkster, Mich., [Go, Rorschach Rowdies!] which Jones represents in the state house.

Jones, who not only sits in the front row of strip clubs also sits on the legislature's regulatory reform committee. He has spent over $6,400 of campaign funds thus far, at restaurants for "work-related" meetings. One such "work-related" expenditure listed in the disclosures describes a March "dinner meeting with other legislators" at a restaurant in Las Vegas where Jones spent nearly $700 and all he had was the salad bar [kidding]. 

The 26-year-old lawmaker, who in 2016 was elected as the state's youngest-ever-most-corrupt- representative, is no stranger to controversy. He was arrested on drunk-driving charges this past April after he drove his car into a ditch.

In a police report detailing the incident, a paramedic described arriving at the scene to witness a woman in the car with her pants down while Jones's pants were partially down. Police on scene tased and pepper-sprayed the aroused Jones when he became combative, and the lawmaker threatened to call on Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D., Mich.) to get the officers in trouble, but it turns out that she is just as corrupt and probably would have given Jones an award for standing up to the man--in more ways than one.

"It's not going to be good for you," Jones said as officers wrestled him to the ground. "I run you all's budget, bro. When I call Gretchen, I'll need y'all IDs and badge numbers, everything." His blood alcohol content was 0.19, twice the legal driving limit.

Jones even violated the terms of his probation this month by failing to pay for an alcohol-monitoring tether, which he is required to wear to track his alcohol intake. This is the second time he refused to comply with the monitor.

The judge in the case ordered Jones pay a $1,000 fine for the violation and told him he would face jail time if he breaches his bond conditions again.

Las Vegas odds are 10 to 1 that he will never be incarcerated in a Democratically-run state.

Dem. Rep. trying to get cocaine impersonates cops, threatens them when busted

Democratic state representative Dan Forestal of Indiana wanted to get himself a little "nasal nosh," so he pretended to be a cop and asked where he could get the coke. When he was arrested, he threatened to use his family connections to "have" the badges of the real cops, according to a police report.

The Marion County prosecutor's office charged Forestal with driving while intoxicated, resisting arrest, and impersonating a public servant, which is a felony, the IndyStar reports.

Forestal is a public servant like Stacey Abrams is governor of Georgia.

Forestal was driving drunk when he came upon a couple who called 911. They told police he claimed to be a "legit officer" looking for drugs.

"I'm a legit officer doing a drug bust," Forestal told them, as recorded in the police report. "Today is the last day before the feds descend and start kicking in doors," he slurred.

At about 11:45 p.m. Saturday, the cops stopped him but he resisted arrest and then refused a sobriety test. He threatened to "have" the officers' badges and when that didn't work, he tried to appeal to his status as a state representative, a firefighter and the nephew of the Marion County sheriff, Kerry Forestal. That didn't work either.

As the IndyStar reported, Forestal's family is well established in Indiana politics beyond the county sheriff, and Forestal, the perp, serves on the Democrats' leadership team as the assistant Democratic Caucus chairman. In his mind, he should be above the law, but those damn Indiana cops just don't understand.

Indiana Dem leaders had no comment to the press. What could they say anyway, that Dan is just being Dan?

Police reported Forestal resisted arrest while showing signs of drunkenness and threatening to sue because they were "violating his civil rights":

According to the police report, Forestal initially raised his hands but dropped them to his waist as the officer moved closer to the car. Forestal would not raise his hands as the officer commanded him to, possibly because he was too drunk to locate them.

The cops then opened Forestal's driver door and tried to extract him from the vehicle, but he held onto the steering wheel like a kid who didn't want to go to school.

"After a brief struggle, (two officers) were able to gain control of Mr. Forestal, place him on his stomach and place him in handcuffs," the police report said.

After being handcuffed, Forestal threatened to sue the officers for violating his civil rights, which, of course, they were not doing. In fact, they were protecting the rights of other drivers to not be injured or killed by this moron, and they were upholding the law upon hearing Forestal's claim of being a "legit officer."

Prior to his arrest, Forestal was drinking at a local bar, and according to those who spoke to police, he acted like a dickwad and harassed fellow patrons and asked about where he could get "party favors," such as cocaine.
