“Everybody else goes to jail for a DUI.”

🌧️ Most people get arrested. Most would get community service for a first offence mistomeànor DUI, not jail time.

Biden Niece Lobbied Obama White House For Multi-Million Dollar Firms,
Biden ‘Joked’ Missy Was The ‘Only Reason’ They Worked With U.S. Govt

Thenationalpulse.com ^ | October 21, 2020 | Natalie Winters / FR Posted by Red Badger

Valerie “Missy” Owens – the niece of Democratic Presidential candidate Joe Biden – departed her high-profile post in the Obama administration to become a multi-million dollar lobbyist for Coca-Cola. She lobbied a host of federal agencies including the White House office and saw then-Vice President Biden discuss her influence while he publicly praised her company and its involvement in a lucrative Obama administration initiative.

The unearthed information follows a trove of email threads and documents exposing Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden’s leveraging his father’s name to ink lucrative lobbying and consulting contracts, often with foreign competitors such as the Chinese Communist Party.

Under Joe Biden’s vice presidential tenure, Owens joined the White House, serving as Deputy Chief of Staff at the Department of Energy from 2009 to 2011 and later as Chief of Staff to the Deputy Secretary at the Department of Commerce from 2011 to 2012.

Immediately after, Owens departed her taxpayer-funded positions to join Coca-Cola as a Director of Public Affairs and Diplomatic Relations. She held the position for four years before becoming a Director for Federal of Government Relations for Federal and Diplomatic matters in 2016 – a position she still holds.

And Joe Biden was well aware of her efforts, referencing her affiliation with Coca-Cola in a speech from January 2014 where he “joked” about Owens’s influence over the company. Perhaps an example of Owens’s influence over the Obama administration, Coca-Cola earned praise from Biden for participating in a lucrative and market-expanding endeavor in Latin America:

“ExxonMobil, Santander Bank which I understand didn’t know how to tell Kathleen Kennedy Townsend “no,” Coca-Cola where my niece is here. I’m sure the only reason Coke is doing this Missy is because of you, thank you very much. That’s a joke by the way.”

Owens, therefore, was lobbying the presidential administration her uncle ran; Owens’s personal bio describes her as “engag[ing] with the U.S. Congress and the Administration.”

The U.S government’s Lobbying Disclosure Act Database reveals nearly $20 million spent on lobbying efforts by the beverage behemoth.

Missy Owens.

Owens is listed as a principal lobbyist on each million-dollar account, tasked with lobbying the U.S. Congress and a host of federal agencies including the Dept of Agriculture, Department of State, Dept of HHS, Obama's White House Office, the U.S. Trade Representative, and the Agency for International Development.

I’ve never known of anyone going to jail for that charge as their first offense. 2nd offense, automatic in Colorado. I know guy who did 2 weeks for 2nd offense, no wrecks or other problems.

Actually, most people don't go to jail for their fist DUI as long as nobody got hurt.

Jail time for a first DUI where there are no other people impacted and the level of intoxication is not very high is quite unusual.

Well, yeah, you go to jail to be booked and sober up, but as a sentence upon being found guilty, you probably won’t do jailtime unless there are aggravating factors.

“Well, yeah, you go to jail to be booked and sober up, but as a sentence upon being found guilty, you probably won’t do jailtime unless there are aggravating factors.”

In Georgia, there is a mandatory minimum of 24 hours in jail for first-time offenders. If you are bailed out on the day/night of arrest in less than 24 hours, upon sentencing you have to serve the remainder of the 24 hours. If you stayed in jail for 24 hours or more after your arrest, the judge will usually reduce your sentence to time served. There is also mandatory community service, and the conviction is never expunged from your criminal record. The latter is a big change from a few years ago. I think only Arizona is tougher on first-time offenders.

I do know a single person who received jail time for a first offense DUI. Let’s concentrate on the real issues.

Should you encounter any of these people, do NOT attempt to apprehend them yourself. Call the local police or FBI giving details of exactly where you were and any vehicle in use by the suspects.

Instead of attacking “white privilege”, the target really should be the Nomenklatura. Except the Communist Party (formerly called Democratic Party) is made up of self appointed Nomenklatura, and its hangers on and wannabes aspire to be part of the Nomenklatura (the hangers on and wannabes did not fair too well during the Russian Revolution and those Marxist revolutions that followed).

That Irish perv smile that Joe has...

Back in the 19th century this country shunned illegal immigrants from that island.

Maybe now we see why?
