Texas prosecutors targeting a state representative for corruption charges announced this week the lawmaker shelled out over $51,000 of her own dough on an online psychic, and showed up to work hopped up on morphine, reports said.
Texas State. Rep. Dawnna Dukes is preparing for a misdemeanor corruption trial for allegedly giving a taxpayer-funded raise to a legislative aide to cover gas money for driving her daughter to and from school, the Austin American-Statesman reported.
Prosecutors announced 19 other “extraneous acts” they plan to bring up during the trial, set to get underway Oct. 16, including the psychic and morphine accusations, which aren’t necessarily related to the charges, but paint a galling picture of the 12-term congresswoman’s alleged behavior, the outlet reported.

I looked really hard and didn’t see any party affiliation in your post. Therefore, she’s a democrat.
Hey - she was just doing her thing. Whats the fuss? I like the “Hopped Up” reference.
Just about to post the same thing.
Correct.
$51K on an online psychic? She must have been high!
Poor lady. I wonder if she got hooked after being prescribed OxyContin after some accident. That happens a lot. Doctors didn’t realize just how addictive that medication is.
Demonrat already under indictment....a typical holier than thou demoncrap...where is her hellary pass??????
Who put the picture of Susan Rice on this thread?
I thought all lawmakers did that.
$51,000 of her own dough on an online psychic
I bet $100 it ain’t her own dough
No mention of party hmmm. “I’ll take ‘She’s a Democrat for $400 Alex.”
$50K for an ‘online psychic’?
The so called psychic may not even be a real person, just an algorithm with an appealing Avatar.”Hi, My name is Betty Crocker. I make amazing pound cakes for my family, and I can make YOU money with my foreign currency predictions!”
Susan Rice has not smiled like that since Bowe Bergdahl’s dad had lunch with Obama.
I don’t like using the Fraud’s pet name for the traitor, Robert Bowdrie Bergdahl.
All serial killers are referred to by their full names, even if two of them are John Wayne....
or a least that's the popular excuse they give at the sentencing hearing.
Dawnna, go away, you’re no good for me.
Save your sympathy-that is not what happened this time-I’ve heard all about the loon from a neighbor who used to reside in her district-sounds like she has always been as crazy as a s***house rat...
Now on to why I clicked on this Thread. I Posted this on another Thread.
**************************************************
Well I’m not going to get in a huge, drawn out argument on this subject but I have Neuropathy in both feet, lower legs up to my knees and now in the last 3 months my hands.
The pain gets so bad that I can’t walk, sleep or pick things up. I’ve tried lyrica and gabapentain and they don’t give me any relief. The lyrica just knocks me out for 2 days and I urinate and defecate while out and I refuse to live like that!!! The gabapentain rips my gastrointestinal system up so that’s not a option. Neither does anything to help with the pain.
I take pain Meds to be able to have somewhat of a normal life, walk, do dishes, take out the trash and the “normal” things that most people take for granted.
I still have bad days that I just have to stay in bed because nothing helps.
The pain can get so bad that sometimes I get so nauseous from it that I can’t even eat!
It’s a royal pain in the ass to get Meds. I have to see my Doctor every month to get the Rx filled. That’s $100.00+ just to see Him, then I have to go pay $129.00 for 100 of one pill and the other one I’m supposed to take is $900.00 for 60 pills!!! I can’t afford that one!!! I also have 18 other Meds I’m supposed to take for Heart and Renal problems. I live on $1288.00 @ month Disability and have rent, water, gas, electric, food and would like to have TV and Internet. So I play the “what bill or other item do I get this time?”
When I got my SSDI out of the blue I get Medicaid from the state. That helped a lot, $3.00 Doctor and Rx co-pays. Then suddenly I got a letter from the state saying that I make “too much money” and I lose that coverage. I asked what happened? I get told that the Fed Poverty level is $1009.00 @ month and at $1288.00 I don’t qualify for coverage. “Sorry that’s the way it is, can’t help You.”
Thank God for the Mission Pantry so I can have food from there but they don’t have everything all the time so I still have to go to the store.
I understand that there are some people that have a drug problem and that sucks for them and those of Us that have a real reason and need for pain control.
Jacking the price out of control doesn’t help. Making those of us that need those Meds suffer because of other people’s problems doesn’t help. Lumping us all into one group is pure BULLSHIT!!!
I don’t have the majic answer but I wish I did...
She just keeping it real
