The responding officer said he spoke to her after spotting her parked in grass on the side of a highway, that her speech was very slurred and she “appeared to have difficulty comprehending” questions, according to an affidavit included in court filings. A preliminary breath test displayed a .254 blood alcohol content, three times the .08 legal limit for driving, and a test taken at the jail displayed a .192 level, the affidavit says.
Holy shit!
Just so we're clear about whether this is one of those things that was technically a violation but not actually "that" bad... no, this really was that bad. .254 and delirious on the side of the road!
Among the likely many many other things she needs to be treated for, I hope they get her help with the drinking also. That's real red flag hardcore alcoholic level BAC while still being conscious.
It's not a discrepancy, alcohol is processed over time. It's her body working through the stuff in the ~30 mins or so that it presumably took to get to booking her. Yeah we can assume the levels aren't 100% accurate but this tech is decades old so probably pretty close. There are many problems with policing; imo this isn't one of them.
Once the cops have someone on a DUI pulled over, its probably a relief to see them blow something so high because they know they have enough time to get to the precinct for further tests.
I mean sure but not that much, afaik the tests at the scene (for BAC, not the subjective tests) are pretty solid as far as evidence goes. In this case it probably mattered even less, blowing a .25 equates to looking pretty fucking smashed for most people so the test is basically just checking a box lmao
Mainly because most of them are not interested in meaningful change that includes them losing "perks" they like. There are a few but the established ones won't let them rock the boat too much.
They're not identical, but they are bOtH anti-union, pro-corporate, and pro-Epstein
You're losing voters for a reason (you being D and R parties), down to 28% of voters each, and independents are growing (44% of voters).
If the Democrats ever want those numbers to go up, they should do what the voters want (higher minimum wage, universal healthcare, term limits, ending congressional trading, age cap, and so on). .
Shellie Flockhart, who called Iowa Democratic House candidate Sarah Trone Garriott “dangerous” for kids, pleaded guilty after authorities said she drove drunk with her children in the car in 2017.

She looks exactly how you would expect
Holy shit!

Anything over .200 is absolutely fucking shitfaced
.254 isn't just getting a little carried away. That's three bottles of wine or a whole bottle of hard liquor.
Among the likely many many other things she needs to be treated for, I hope they get her help with the drinking also. That's real red flag hardcore alcoholic level BAC while still being conscious.
"I just drank a fifth of vodka. Dare me to drive"
Do you know that song by Phil Collins? In the air of the night?
Some people have different genes to process alcohol, clearly she is not one to have these genes. And that's why there's limits.
No, her having those genes might be why she was still conscious.
But also, holy shit what a discrepancy in readings. They are off by .06, which is almost the legal limit. Wtf.

EDIT: Nope. It's a totally different piece of blonde shit.
Is this the chick in the Anti-Talarico ad from Texas?
Because the Republicans blocking the release of the Epstein Files feels pretty dangerous to kids, if you ask me.
Every accusation is a confession. Every one.
Came here to say this. They are consistent, I’ll give them that.
....so she is also an israeli!? Hunh!? Unsurprising! 🤣
This would be such an excellent slogan for ad for the Democrats, it’s a wonder why they never used it
Mainly because most of them are not interested in meaningful change that includes them losing "perks" they like. There are a few but the established ones won't let them rock the boat too much.
That sounds like an ad that some PAC could create, and run nationally with minor changes.
PACs require funding, and between the working class and the corporate oligarchs, I'll give you one guess as to which has the money.
Because the average voter wouldn't understand it and thinks both parties are the same.
Three cheers for the average voter
lol

Those that scream the loudest, have the most to hide.
“If I’m doing it, and I’m the most righteous person alive, everyone else must be doing it 10x more”
That's exactly how they think.
Next they should drag out a woman who let her kid be abused talk shit about her kid in a political attack ad.
Ohio: "Way ahead of you!"
wtf is this satire or her real FB page?

Wow, even the AI gave up on her.
Can’t see this without making a shitbook account. If you have a screenshot…
There you go:
this happens so frequently that i think The Onion wouldn't make similar jokes anymore, as not to be seen as unoriginal
Republicans are a danger to our children
and Democrats! See Epstein files for further details
why would you ever leave out half of the problem? Hmmm I wonder...
Just because there are two groups doesn't mean that each group is half the problem. Republicans are significantly more than half the problem.
The guy you're responding to has been putting in overtime this week astroturfing every political thread with "bOtH sIdEs ArE tHe SaMe!!1!1!1!"
"both sides are bad so vote republican" is old enough to drink, bud.
Republican is the party of child rape
