#1 Obama Birth Certificate Fake Claims Sheriff Joe Arpaio

Post by Norseman »

I got the strangest case of deja vu here, just deja-vu. I want to get off Mr Bones Wild Ride!

I know I am supposed to make comments on this, instead of just posting a link, but what am I supposed to say? Why is this still a thing? Why is Sheriff Joe not in jail? Was the techno-thriller I am trapped in written by Tom Clancy, Dale Brown, or whatever their Russian equivalent is (is there a Russian equivalent? Genuinely curious).

Will someone please tell me Arpaio won't get a job in the new administration? That this will not become anything official?

(Just woke up and for some reason it was in my youtube feed)

The Russian stuff I've seen has been mostly Heroic Squared Jawed Virile Russian men preventing a Slavic Genocide by confronting the unstoppable but strangely weak NATO hordes in the burning ruins of the Ukraine.

Sheriff Joe is not yet in jail because of several reasons, first is his dumping the responsiblities for the jailable offenses with his underlings. Many times hath he thrown a man beneath the bus. Second is lot of the stuff he does get nailed for is punished via fines, which have to be paid for by the county government. MY COUNTY GOVERNMENT, THIS JACKASS HAS PISSED AWAY MILLIONS OF... *Ahem* So basically he's very good at making other people pay for his actions. Second is he has a lot of powerful friends out of state, his election campaigns are funded by a lot of donations from out of state wealthy people who see his operations as a model. Third, snowbirds. Snowbirds is a slang term for a group of wealthy older people who come down to Az in the winter and go back to their homes in the summer. Many of them sign up to vote here because this is where they live during election season. They're older, whiter and wealthier then the average Az citizen and terrified that young, brown, poor savages will hurt them and take their stuff. Sheriff Joe, who himself is rather aged, promised to keep the young, brown, poor, savages in line and they don't care how he does it. Next, he tends to engage in dirty tactics, smearing opposition candidates and misusing police resources to dig up intell. Lastly his opponents kept splitting the vote which made it easier for him to coast to victory. We have gotten rid of him this election which had only one guy running against him.

This will not become anything official. Joe is basically trying to build up a counter narrative to explain why the Justice Department is relentlessly after him. Frankly it's to late for Trump to save him but he tryings to build a political story to justify it and to keep his wealthy friends from dropping him.

Glad to see some things are universal.
