[QUOTE=Bob The Knob;52616890]WaPo reports Trump tried to have the DOJ end its case against Arpaio back in the spring, before deciding it would be easier to just pardon him after conviction

Because of course Trump would be that much of a shithead.

Assuming they could overlook the immense amount of social, economic and technological progression they'd probably shake their heads in disappointment at how the country (against Washington's wishes) descended into partisan politics and so forth.
[QUOTE=Zero-Point;52617223]Not to mention what is essentially becoming "McCarthyism 2: Bad Hair-do Boogaloo", what with all the "liberals are evil COMMIES" nonsense I've seen spread around.[/QUOTE]
I'm so fucking tired of this, as someone who lives with a die hard trump supporter its either "but the democrats are the racist KKK people and the republicans are the party of Lincoln and you can't convince me otherwise" or "Liberals are communists, so they should love russia!" disregarding the fact that the democrats crafted all of the civil rights legislation passed in the last 60 years, and dumped the southern conservatives, and that democracy + socialism = europe, not russia

Of all things, i think they'd be greatly disapointed in our hawkish military positions, as well as the way too cozy relationship lobbiests and outside groups have with the legislature. These are men that grew up in a time when kings and nobles would just outright gift shit to people of power for loyalty, they knew all to well about corruption. This equation of money to speech would be abhorrent to them.

Don't know much about this Arpaio, but he seems to have a giant crime list that surely wouldn't have been necessary just to protect the border or whatever he is praised for. This goes against Trump's claims to be pro law and order, so pretty much what the fuck on that level.

Yes, instead of 'rock bottom', they'll be 'absolutely rock bottom'. You vacuous pigfucker.
I genuinely have no idea what he's saying. He thought his ratings would be higher? or he thought the ratings of the hurricane would be higher?

He's right, Sheriff Joe has done a great job for the people of Arizona by wasting hundreds of millions of their taxpayer dollars on luxury vacations, lawsuit settlements, and political grandstanding. He was indeed treated unbelievably unfairly in the election, much like how he entrapped a teenager into becoming a domestic terrorist bomber so he could pull a publicity stunt to get votes. Truly a great man, because boy howdy did he show those Mexicans what for while he failed to investigate thousands of sex crimes and lied to rape victims. We need someone like him managing our borders, much like how he managed the worst-run jail in the United States and made a complete farce of Maricopa County law enforcement.

He thought the TV ratings would be higher for his announcement, as in, he thought that people would be watching it just as much as they would on any other day. But they weren't, obviously, because who gives a fuck what this retarded egomaniac says during an enormously disastrous hurricane?
I know they don't show up to threads like these anymore but can one of the Trump Defense Team come and explain why this is anything other than an utterly shit decision.
I genuinely want to hear what the other side of this whole situation is, like the positive side.

Maybe we start giving Trump stories titles like, "Anarchist kicks old man" and "lesbian vandalizes dog" to trick them into coming in.

This is a 100% wholly political tactical decision. Arpaio is not liked by anyone except raging anti-federalist racists with hardons for abuse of police power. Trump is trying to entrench himself further in this voting bloc because his entire goal is to bleed this country for all he can and destroy the government; incidentally, these voters also want that to happen.

On FP they are too busy waging the culture war in SH/Videos. Try certain subreddits.
This pisses me off to no end.
I did vote for Trump, and as someone who had to put up with Arapio arresting some friends in the North American Militia Movement for acting in humanitarian elements by giving migrants water, shelter, and food... Lets just say words cannot describe my rage.
This man is responsible for the change in doctrine seen by many militia groups in the Southwest. Groups like the Watchmen, Oathkeepers, and otherwise started out with a policy of helping the innocent, while dealing with traffickers of drugs and people. During the 2008 ~ 2012 area, I'd say that most of the violence which happened to ranchers was directly related to Arapio acting like a shithead and making it difficult for militias to coordinate in certain regions such as the Toho Reservation gap.
It got to the point where once safe areas were being littered with corpses, because people were being forced to bring less gear and equipment during their border crossings, in fear of being arrested by the hard-line cronies from Arapio. Also, we saw a massive increase of ranchers being killed because people were getting desperate and would go onto their ranches and steal things just to survive the trips into the United States.
I can go on and on about how much I hate the man, but know this: Even most Republicans hate this cunt.

Well this seems to go in line with his extreme anti immigrant stance during the campaign doesn't it? Has this changed your view of trump?

no offense bro but the the fact that joe arpaio's vigilantism 'messed up the whole vigiliantism scene for everybody else' doesn't exactly tug at my heartstrings

Didn't he also say during the charlottesville thing that he was gunna pardon Joe, but was waiting until there was less pressure on him?

Brought up his pardon to my great-aunt today. She used to live in Tuscon, claims that she never heard anything negative about him unless it was from her "illegal" friends.
Then again she reads a lot into conspiracy theories and is one of those "fuckin' DEMOCRATS" people so there's that.

Call it what you will, but the militia groups that were active before Arapio's full retard crap were usually helping people by ensuring that clashes between migrants and ranchers were limited to almost nothing.
Their is a reason why we had a massive Border Patrol surge in the late 00's, it was mainly thanks to a rise in violence caused by Arapio's hardline bullshit.
