Psychic Shitstain Pressures VA Employees for ‘Readings’

Quote:A Department of Veterans Affairs already scandalized by health care delays, record manipulation and construction overruns got a bit more tarnished Thursday with release of an investigation showing that a boss pressured employees in Philadelphia to participate in psychic readings last year.
Quote:The investigation concluded that by pressing subordinates to attend the readings Filipov misused her authority for the private gain of Hodge and his wife.
Quote:Hodge, meanwhile, was dinged in the investigation for not reporting $20,000 in psychic income by his wife on their tax returns for 2012 and 2013, and the Justice Department and Internal Revenue Service were notified.
Quote:An East Coast area benefits director for the VA, Willie Clark, said he would explore whether disciplinary action is necessary. He said Filipov and Hodge would receive refresher ethics training and both have been admonished. "This type (of) activity will not be condoned or tolerated in this agency," Clark said.
I’d say, a little more disciplinary action should be taken against these cons.

I don't think much of fucking psychics, and christers that give 'em a pass are low fucking scum.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Yeah, until they can actually prove their abilities, that's just what they are...scum.

I always wonder why "psychics" aren't stockbrokers?

it would only take ONE that doesn't have morals to wind up owning Wall Street. (not that anyone there now has morals, but none of them are psychic, either)
Hate to miss an opportunity to dis Joan Quigley. Fuck Joan Quigley !!

It is because, at least on some level, they know that they are con artists, and do not have any real power.

Haha, I'm saying that all the time. If there were psychics, there would be no casinos, sportsbooks, dog/horsetracks, stock markets, no poker (played with real money), etc.
And, Maybe..JUST MAYBE..someone would have claimed James Randi's one million dollar prize for demonstrating some type of supernatural abilities. But no, they're on reality T.V., looking up information about the person on the internet while doing a phone reading, or just cold reading and telling the client that the future looks to be promising for them at their barely surviving psychic shop, about to go out of business.
