BREAKING: Paul Pelosi just pled guilty to a DUI that our friend, skudrunner, assured me was going to end up being dropped due to improper political influence. He was sentenced to five days in the slammer and three years' probation.

Should we hold the spouse of a criminal responsible for the actions of their spouse? Repugs will be demanding Pelosi's resignation. If Biden's son is convicted Repugs will demand Biden resign. There will be the political reaction and the public reaction.

This shows the system works. After a crash while blitzed he got 5 days in jail.
I am surprised he didn't just get probation but maybe UBER next time. Maybe the governor can commute his sentence instead of overcrowding the jails.

The Repugs will need to hold their hypocritical tongues on that matter, since they worship and admire a known corrupt, malignant narcissist who's gotten away with more crimes than I can count!

Not in the stagnant addled minds of the loyal Trump cultists Shaw. Nothing Trump does is considered wrong or out of bounds. He is infallible to them. A king. Or perhaps even a god.

I can't help but laugh at the hypocrisy of the Trumpublican party. Trump did everyting the McConnell GOP accused President Obama of doing. Only he did nothing even close to the shenanigans pulled by Trump in office. And the GOP had zero problem with it.

skud, I'm waiting for your apology.

Why you ask? Well, I seem to remember you calling us folk 'demon'-rats and stated quite forcefully that Mr. Pelosi would skate because us demoncrats stick together.

Here you are, so happy 'the system' works with a tone of surprise in your voice.

You owe everyone here an apology. When you know better you do better. Please do better.

Grey, I don't remember calling anyone a demon rat. He does have to serve one day in jail so I guess I was wrong that he would escape.

Jail time for a first DUI offense is a rarity. I did a quick check. Here is what it states for California:

"A first offense DUI in California is a misdemeanor typically punished by 3 to 5 years of probation, $390.00 to $1000.00 in fines plus penalty assessments, DUI school, a 6-month driver's license suspension, and installation of an ignition interlock device."

From the Washington Post: "Paul Pelosi already served two days in jail and received good conduct credit for two other days, Napa County Superior Court Judge Joseph Solga said. Paul Pelosi will work eight hours in the court’s work program in lieu of the remaining day, Solga said during Paul Pelosi’s sentencing, which he did not attend.

State law allows for DUI misdemeanor defendants to appear through their attorney unless ordered otherwise by the court.

As part of his probation, Paul Pelosi will also be required to attend a three-month drinking driver class, and install an ignition interlock device, where the driver has to provide a breath sample before the engine will start. He will also have to pay about $5,000 in victim restitution for medical bills and lost wages and nearly $2,000 in fines, the judge said."

All of that for registering just over the legal limit.

PL, You are absolutely correct that Paul Pelosi got community service for crashing into someone causing injury. If he killed the person he could have gotten two days of community service. I guess the 2018 DUI was a different Paul Pelosi in NAPA. Whatever he is married to the most powerful women in the world so he should get off with a slap on the wrist.

Awww, skud, you are such a sad sack (or is it sad sap). So bitter and angry, yet whenever trump is shown on recordings to bribe government officials, bully and threaten people, not a peep.

According to the Washington Times: "A prior driving offense erroneously attributed to Mr. Pelosi is untrue and likely refers to an unrelated person with the same name."

Whatever, you are correct that he is married to the most powerful woman in the world!!
