Shocking! Absolutely shocking. What will become of the legions of Durham lawyers? All who could not have seen this coming could easily fit into a London call box.
What happens inside the Beltway stays inside the Beltway.
If I were the Orange Man I'd write it all off and take up permanent residence at the links in Balmedie, Aberdeenshire.
He and many others did their very best, but sadly, the Republic appears to be lost.

He literally had the billing receipt to Clinton for the time spend with the FBI where he stated he was acting on his own. Jury nullification of material fact for political advantage. We are now in a place where fact is less important than political allegiance for fellow citizens duty bound to judge impartially. Tragic clue to the future end of public trust in government.

The American government just stole you the 2020 elections,
The American government today just shows to his citizens how from now on justice will work.
Your 2022 midterm will be manipulated
Trump will be arrested
Guns will be confiscated
Digital passport will be mandatory
But you still can post in your favorite conservative sites like this one.
See….you still have your American exceptionalism style freedom…
Moving back to Mexico soon…..

Assume "Jury Nullification" was in play as the evidence was pretty damning. Now think how willing you'd be to convict someone of lying to the KGB , excuse me, the FBI.

[Red State]"Rules for thee, but not for me"
Looks like more shoes are now dropping in the Paul Pelosi DUI arrest in Napa County, California.
As we’ve already reported, Pelosi, 82, the husband of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), was arrested on Saturday night shortly before midnight, at 11:44 PM, when he had an accident with another car. Fortunately, there were no injuries, but Pelosi was then charged with two misdemeanors: driving under the influence and driving with a blood-alcohol level at or above 0.08.
For some reason that hasn’t been fully explained yet, it took law enforcement officers more than four hours to book him after he was arrested. He wasn’t booked until 4:13 a.m. Was he resisting a breathalyzer? Causing a problem? Were they debating whether or not to charge him? It’s not clear. And if he was still blowing more than 0.08 after that time, what was he like at the time of the crash? He was released about three hours after he was booked on $5000 bail.
But now there’s more information on the accident. Pelosi was allegedly driving drunk when he piloted a 2021 Porsche through a stop sign while crossing State Route 29 and drove right into the path of an oncoming car driven by Jesus Lopez, 48, at about 10:26 p.m. So based on the report, Pelosi allegedly caused the crash. Notice he wasn’t driving an electric vehicle, but a nice gas-guzzling new Porsche.
This happened about five miles south of the Pelosi vineyard in St. Helena. This is just one of their many estates. Nancy Pelosi claimed she wasn’t with her husband but was in Rhode Island because she was going to be delivering a commencement address at Brown University.
From The Hill:
A representative for Pelosi told CBS News that he had been at a dinner party in Oakville until about 10:15 p.m., and drove the "short distance" home by himself. They added he was "fully cooperative" with authorities and that processing took until 7:30 a.m. on Sunday.
"Fully cooperative?" I’d like to hear the police say that and explain the four hours between the arrest and booking.
One of the neighbors described the Pelosis in a way that seems right on target and screams "elitism."
One vineyard owner who lives nearby told DailyMail.com the couple often block the road with their convoy of blacked-out SUVs when they come to town, but that they didn’t seen anything this weekend.
Some suggested that Paul might have been attending the Bottle Rocks festival which Snoop Dogg was playing at this weekend.
’It probably tracks more with the younger Paul,’ the neighbor said, referring to the couple’s 53-year-old son, Paul Pelosi Jr.
’I wouldn’t be going to the kinds of fundraisers and parties they go to.
’I don’t like them very much or find them very interesting,’ the vineyard owner said.
According to the neighbors, the Pelosis also throw lavish parties for Silicon Valley executives. I’m sure there are no conflicts at all there.
Nancy Pelosi isn’t talking about her husband’s arrest. She has no problem going after anyone and everyone else, but his arrest, she’s calling a "private matter."

I think I read the other party in the wreck was an illegal immigrant; I wonder if he’s been deported yet.

^ Quite the opposite, driving while illegal, unlicensed and uninsured in Cali probably doubles his social credit score. About ten points may be temporarily deducted for being involved in an incident that embarrassed a leftist pol.

its reported that Pelosi blew .09, over the limit at booking, which was at a curious 4:13 AM. The accident happened at 10:26, CHP was on-scene withing 10 minutes, the arrest occurred at 11:44 and the breathalyzer was at 4:13 am, six hours after the event. If you apply the general status of BAC decline form my post yesterday:
Drinkers who have stopped drinking burn off alcohol at the rate of .015% per hour as a general rule unless they have compounding health issues.
and you compute that rate backwards for six hours, you get an approximate BAC level of .19. How impaired is .19, consider that its borderline .20 in the chart below:
https://www.pinelandsrecovery.com/all-about-blood-alcohol-levels/
The Impact of Blood Alcohol Levels
As an individual’s blood alcohol level increases, so do their impairments. To know when your blood alcohol concentration may be too high, it helps to understand how levels of alcohol in blood can affect you.
0.01 – 0.03% – This is the lowest measurable blood alcohol level. At this mild level of intoxication, you may feel slightly warmer and more relaxed.
0.04 – 0.06% – Your behavior will become exaggerated (speaking louder, gesturing more), you may begin to lose control of small muscles (resulting in things like blurrier vision), and your judgment will be impaired.
0.07 – 0.09% – Mild impairment of speech, vision, coordination and reaction times make it dangerous for you to drive. In the United States (aside from Utah), it is illegal to drive at or above .08% BAC; you will test as legally impaired at this blood alcohol level if you’re 21 or older.
0.10 – 0.12% – Obvious physical impairment and loss of judgment. Speech may be slurred.
0.13 – 0.15% – At this point, your blood alcohol level is quite high. You’ll be affected by blurred vision, loss of coordination and balance, and potentially dysphoria (anxiety or restlessness).
0.16 – 0.19% – The term “sloppy drunk” applies. Dysphoria will become stronger, and nausea may occur. Walking becomes difficult, and you may fall and hurt yourself.
0.20 – 0.29% – You’ll feel dazed, confused, and disoriented. Balance and muscle control have deteriorated, and you may need help walking. You may not notice if you injure yourself, as feelings of pain are numbed. Nausea and vomiting are likely, and an impaired gag reflex could cause you to choke on your own vomit. Blackouts occur at this blood alcohol level.
Now does the six hour delay seem curious as the case is considered by a judge about how impaired the driver was and how his future driving behavior might endanger the public?

y'all act as if anything will ever come from this, whether law enforcement let him sit too long or not. They also do breathalyzers at the scene also.

I generally shoot for .20.
Self medicating of course.

I think he tried to Doordash, but Hunter Biden showed up and he was obviously tweaking, so he decided to just give it a go. He probably would have slept it off if he had been driving one of their high end vehicles. Not sure why they don’t have a driver. Maybe Jeeves was with Nancy in Rhode Island.

[InformationLiberation] This Memorial Day, we must remember the valiant sacrifice of the Azov Battalion.
From The Daily Mail, "'Democracy is not perfect... but it's worth fighting for': Biden pays tribute to Beau, Ukraine and the U.S. troops who died in Afghanistan and Iraq after laying a wreath at Arlington Cemetery's Tomb of the Unknown Soldier":
President Joe Biden championed the ideals of democracy and took time to reflect on the loss of his son Beau Biden and the losses of families across the country who have lost loved ones in the military in a Memorial Day speech at Arlington National Cemetery on Monday.
Looking abroad the president also paid tribute to Ukraine's defenders fighting against a Russian invasion and the American service members who died during the United States' 20-year war in Afghanistan and in Iraq.
He made no mention, however, of the recent military deaths under his administration - including the 13 service members who were killed in Afghanistan during a suicide attack amid the military's withdrawal from the country.
'Ladies and gentlemen, today remember and we reaffirm freedom is worth the sacrifice,' Biden said after laying a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
'Democracy is not perfect. It's never been perfect. But it's worth fighting for - if necessary, worth dying for.'
Remarking on the seventh anniversary of his eldest child's death, the president continued: 'Memorial Day is always a day where pain and pride are mixed together. We all know it, sitting here. Jill and I know it. Today is the day my son died.'
Beau Biden, who had been a Major in the Delaware National Guard, died after a battle with brain cancer on May 30, 2015, while his father was vice president.
'He didn't die in the line of duty, he came home from Iraq with cancer. It was the horrific cancer what stolen us from him - and him from us. But still, it always feels to me on Memorial Day - I see him not as it was the last time I held his hand, but the day I pinned his bars on him as a second lieutenant,' the president said.
He went on say the '7,054 American military members' who 'gave their lives over 20 years of our Iraq and Afghan conflicts' and 'untold others who died of injury and illness connected to their service' should serve as a reminder that 'there is nothing low risk or low cost about war.'
He says this while cavalierly threatening to get us into World War III with Russia over Ukraine, his one true love.
During the speech he also commented on the war in Ukraine - which Vladimir Putin has now been waging for more than three months - stating that the Eastern European country's struggle is a reminder of the cost of freedom.
'In this moment, when a war of aggression is once more being waged by Russia to snuff out the freedom and democracy - the very culture and identity - of neighboring Ukraine, we see so clearly...that freedom has never been free,' Biden said.
Does this sound like someone interested in "securing our homeland"?
Biden DHS Official: Americans Trying to Preserve Their Heritage 'Makes Me Sick' https://t.co/LioktnIXUl
'Democracy has always required champions. Today, in the perennial struggle for democracy and freedom, Ukraine and its people are on the front lines fighting to save their nation.
'But their fight is part of a larger fight that unites all people. it is a fight that so many of the Patriots whose eternal rest is here in these hallowed grounds were part of. A battle between democracy and autocracy - between liberty and repression, between appetites and ambition.'
In a veiled jab at Republican legislatures' clamp-down on personal freedoms like abortion and voting rights, Biden called out 'a few who forever seek to dominate the lives and liberties of many' in 'a battle for essential democratic principles - the rule of law, free and fair elections, freedom to speak and write and to assemble. Freedom to worship as one chooses, freedom of the press - principles that are essential for a free society.'
What we're seeing in Ukraine is the cost of occupation, just as we're seeing in America.
Right before giving this speech, Biden told reporters that "the Constitution, the Second Amendment was never absolute."
He's pushing to disarm the American people and designate his political opposition domestic terrorists -- all while shipping billions in weapons to the Azov Battalion and throwing the border wide open to millions of illegal aliens.
[PJMedia] California Votes To End Mandatory Reporting On Students Who Threaten Schools
Two days after the Uvalde massacre at Robb Elementary School, the California state senate voted to end mandatory reporting of students who threaten to do what the Uvalde killer did.
Before the California law was passed, existing law stated that whenever a school official is "attacked, assaulted, or physically threatened by any pupil," staff was "required to promptly report the incident to specified law enforcement authorities." The new bill repealed this requirement.
A heads-up to police to maybe start keeping an eye on the social media postings of would-be killers strikes me as a no-brainer.
The language in the bill was endorsed by the ACLU. The organization said that "Once students make contact with law enforcement, they are less likely to graduate high school and more likely to wind up in jail or prison." Master of the Obvious here.
The ACLU conveniently forgets that the reason kids usually "make contact" with law enforcement — how’s that for a euphemism? — is because they were doing something illegal.
We’ve come to expect this kind of thing from the ACLU. Sadly, we’ve come to expect it from Sacramento as well.
There’s so much self-inflicted wrong going on in the once-Golden State.
California’s water infrastructure was built in the 20th Century for a population half its current size. Instead of getting serious about new construction, the drought-prone state is tearing down existing infrastructure.
California has some of the nation’s most expensive gasoline — by choice — but is closing the nuclear plants needed to power electric vehicles.

People used to homeschool to keep their kids free of corruption and to promote higher academic performance. In California it may just be a way to keep them alive.

Between this, and Biden "not interested" in helping to harden schools, it's clear that Democrats want to create the environments that produce murdered children. They see it as their best vehicle to overturning the 2nd Amendment.

[Breitbart] President Joe Biden pushed for more gun control on Monday, even though it was Memorial Day, a national patriotic holiday.
"The Constitution, the Second Amendment was never absolute," Biden said to reporters.
The president spoke to reporters about gun control as he returned to Washington, DC, from Delaware for Memorial Day ceremonies.
Biden falsely claimed again that Americans were unable to purchase a cannon when the Second Amendment was passed, despite being repeatedly fact-checked as false by even the Washington Post and Politifact.
"You couldn’t buy a cannon when the Second Amendment was passed and you couldn’t go out and purchase a lot of weapons," he said.
Biden recalled a briefing he had when he was a senator on bullet calibers and the damage they caused to the human body.
"The 22 caliber bullet will lodge in the lungs and we can get it out," Biden said. "A 9 mm bullet blows the lung out of the body."
"The idea of a high caliber weapon, there is no rationale for it in terms of self-protection, hunting," he said.
Biden also referred to a quote from Thomas Jefferson who said "the tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants," tying it in with his argument about the Second Amendment.
"There was a while there, where people were saying, you know, the tree of liberty is watered with the blood of patriots, and what we have to do is to be able take on the government when they are wrong," Biden said.
Biden argued in order for citizens to hold the government accountable with equal levels of force, Americans would have to own a fighter jet or a tank.
"To do that you need an F-15, you need an Abrams tank," he said, suggesting it was an outrageous idea.
Biden revealed he had not had any conversations with Republicans on the issue of gun control but said he wanted to act.
"I know that it makes no sense to be able to be able to purchase something that can fire up to 300 rounds," he said. ^ THIS shows he's an absolute ignorant moron

Constitution has a built in method to change.
If you think you have the support to change the 2nd Amendment the pathway is clear. Since liberals have never even attempted to actually change the Amendment we know they know they are vastly outnumbered on the issue.

Madison put forward the Bill of Rights amendments as a first order of business in the new Congress after he had promised people that he would make that effort during the ratification process. Many people were concerned that Federal Power could grow unchecked if personal and state rights were not codified within the Constitution. The argument that the 2nd Amendment does not reserve the individual right to bear arms doesn’t make any sense logically or historically. Canada is certainly proving why the 2nd Amendment was a good idea. I don’t think Canada’s Charter of Rights includes a similar provision.

The lie about the Second Amendment is telling, the Second Amendment is a statement of absolute right. The unorganized militia, essentially the entire population of fighting age, was to have personal arms to provide for national defense and as a bulwark against any form of tyranny, whether foreign or domestic The deflection about hunting and "self-defense" as a primary basis for the 2A is pure BS. As a poster in CTH notes succinctly:
"Moondoggie
May 31, 2022 9:27 am
Joe LIES!
When the Constitution was ratified there were NO laws prohibiting the purchase of cannon. Most of the cannon used by local militias were privately owned. Also, many merchant ships had their own cannon…not only for self protection, but also so that merchant ships could be rapidly converted to “Naval Auxiliaries” by issuing “Letters of Marque”. “Privateers” existed up until the time of the Civil War…possibly longer.
You could own any weapon you wanted up until the National Firearms Act of 1934. There was a Remmington Model 1907 rifle…30.06 caliber, semi-automatic, 20 round detachable magazine, 180,000 sold…zero mass shooting..."
Make no mistake, this is the emerging predicate for the long term goal of disarming the public.

Thank you for the clarification. Stateside, I would like to see handguns banned for Alek Baldwin. That may be a violation of the Constitution, but I think it is a good idea.

The US got its ass kicked in Afghanistan by men with rifles and no F-15s or tanks
Kicked? Where? What's the name of the battle? The loss in Afghanistan was due to politics that 1) expanded its mission beyond the retribution for 9/11 and 2) didn't allow the military to 'win'.
