What a great day in Trumpmerica.

Cough ... Hurricane ... Cough

I don't really understand the Trumpkin obsession with Arpaio. Dude has wasted about 150 million dollars of his taxpayers money He's a white nationalist with democrat spending habits. Bad combo.

Maricopa County Office of Management and Budget, completed in April 2011, found Arpaio had misspent almost $100 million over the previous 5 years

The analysis also showed a number of inappropriate spending items, including a trip to Alaska where deputies stayed at a fishing resort, and trips to Disneyland.[118][120]

Separate investigations by The Arizona Republic uncovered widespread abuse of public funds and county policies by Arpaio's office, including high-ranking employees routinely charging expensive meals and stays at luxury hotels on their county credit cards.[121]

The Republic also found that a restricted jail-enhancement fund was improperly used to pay for out-of-state training, a staff party at a local amusement park, and a $456,000 bus, which Arpaio purchased in violation of county procurement rules.[117][122]

In the report, a Justice Department expert concluded that Arpaio oversaw the worst pattern of racial profiling in U.S. history.[188]

Mike Lacey and Jim Larkin, the founders and leaders of the Phoenix New Times, were arrested after publishing a news article on a grand jury investigation involving Arpaio's office. On the evening that the article was published, Lacey and Larkin were arrested by plainclothes sheriff's deputies, "handcuffed, put in dark SUVs with tinted windows and driven to jail."[111] Following a public uproar over the arrests, all charges were dropped against Lacey and Larkin.[111] Lacey and Larkin filed a federal Section 1983 lawsuit, and in 2012, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit ruled that they could sue Maricopa County sheriff's office for the arrests.[112] In 2013, the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors voted to settle the suit for $3.75 million

Jesus dude, did he touch you somewhere?

Another small gov conservative applauding gov thuggery.

It's entirely possible to believe in tough immigration enforcement and at the same time believe that Arapaio is a piece of shite.

I don't really get the love for Arpaio either. I always thought he was a terrible sheriff. I don't see why he is worthy of a pardon. I believe law enforcement should be held to a higher standard.

The Trump snowcucks on this board will struggle with this.

He was doing his fricking job and was arrested for it. I don't care what people think of him, because quite frankly those people who despise him are probably worthless for the most part. Maybe if the Obama admin did more to stop illegal immigration this wouldn't even be an issue.
