Herschel Walker's campaign laundered $595,600 in donations through a defunct car wash:






Walker’s campaign paid $595,600 to a company called ‘Jetts’ to supposedly charter private planes. However, Fox has learned that ‘Jetts’ is a defunct car wash that was owned by a Walker donor.


Who among us hasn't funneled private plane campaign cash through an out-of-business car wash?


I’m not creative enough to come up with scams they invent to funnel donor money into their pockets.

Ooh ooh
You might not ever get rich
But let me tell ya it's better than diggin' a ditch
There ain't no tellin' who you might meet
A movie star or maybe even an Indian chief
At the car wash
Workin' at the car wash, girl
Come on and sing it with me
(Car wash)
Sing it with the feelin' y'all
(Car wash, yeah)
Ooh
Come, some of the work gets kinda hard
This ain't no place to be if you planned on bein' a star
Let me tell you it's always cool
And the boss don't mind sometimes if you act the fool
At the car wash
Whoa whoa whoa whoa
Talkin' about the car wash, girl
Come on, ya'all and sing it for me
(Car wash)
Ooh ooh ooh
(Car wash, girl)
Well, those cars never seem to stop coming
(Work and work)
Keep those rags and machines humming
(Work and work)
My fingers to the bone
(Work)
Can't wait 'til it's time to go home
Fill up and you don't have to pay
Come on and give us a play
(Do the wash, right away)
Talkin' 'bout the car wash
Car wash, girl
Come on, y'all, let's sing it with me
(Car wash)
Sing it with feelin', y'all
(Car wash, girl)
Whoa whoa whoa whoa
(Car wash)
Never seem to stop comin'
What'd I say
Keep those rags and machines hummin'
(Car wash)
Let me tell you, it's always cool
And the boss don't mind sometimes if you act the fool
At the car wash
Working at the car wash, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

So, no harm, no foul.

Of course, if Walker had won his election (like George Santos or whatever his name is this week), then there wouldn't be an investigation or any charges because he won.

It's not a fool-proof method, but it works almost every time for Republican candidates.

Just like the laws that the rich elite break. Not holding my breath that anyone will pay for this. Justice in this country is a fucking joke unless you're just a working class schmuck than they will be glad to throw you in prison for stealing a loaf of bread.
