Image via Getty Trump Pardons Criminally Convicted Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio If you thought that Donald Trump’s campaign dog-whistles were telling, if you thought his comments about Charlottesville were morally reprehensible, then the burnt sienna POTUS’ first use of Presidential pardon power will undoubted inform you that he is perfectly comfortable pushing a racist agenda of hatred toward minorities. Late last night, while the nation was locked into category 4 hurricane Harvey, Donald tried to slide something slick and slimy. He pardoned Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio of his recent conviction for criminal contempt in a racial profiling case according to CNN . Arpaio has long-been an outspoken proponent of immigration reform and has self-admittedly run a “concentration camp” style prison where inmates died on the REGULAR. Sheriff Joe’s conviction was based on the fact that he was racially profiling hispanic and latinx peoples in order to check their immigration status for possibly deportation. A word from the White House: “Throughout his time as sheriff, Arpaio continued his life’s work of protecting the public from the scourges of crime and illegal immigration,” the statement read. “Sheriff Joe Arpaio is now 85 years old, and after more than 50 years of admirable service to our nation, he is (a) worthy candidate for a Presidential pardon.” Joe Arpaio is also a rabid Trump sycophant and boot-licker. Thank you @realdonaldtrump for seeing my conviction for what it is: a political witch hunt by holdovers in the Obama justice department! — Joe Arpaio (@RealSheriffJoe) August 26, 2017 I am humbled and incredibly grateful to President Trump. I look fwd to putting this chapter behind me and helping to #MAGA — Joe Arpaio (@RealSheriffJoe) August 26, 2017 Normally, when a President pardons someone, there is a consultation with the Justice Department about the decision prior to making it official. But in this new era of Trumpism, things just happen on a whim.

Here we go again. Stirring up “birther” controversy yet again, Maricopa County (Ariz.) Sheriff Joe Arpaio said he suspects the President Obama’s birth certificate released last year is fake. Armed with a 10-page report he personally commissioned, Arpaio said he suspects Obama’s long form birth certificate is merely a “computer-generated forgery.” Arpaio also raised questions about the authenticity of the president’s selective service registration card. He said he would like Congress to investigate the matter. Joe Arpaio Unveils Obama Birth Probe “Based on all of the evidence presented and investigated, I cannot in good faith report to you that these documents are authentic,” Sheriff Arpaio said last week. “My investigators believe the long-form birth certificate was manufactured electronically and that it did not originate in paper format as claimed by the White House.” Arpaio repeatedly said he is not questioning Obama’s legal status under the Constitution nor alleging fraud on Obama’s part, but did say there is evidence of crimes. The controversial lawman believes someone close to the president has tampered with or forged documents and he is required to investigate under Arizona law. Fact-checking groups have concluded the certificates are authentic, of course, and Obama has even joked about the sideshow that has followed his presidency. At last year’s White House Correspondents Association Dinner, he ridiculed Donald Trump , who had said that his own investigators were looking into the matter. But Sheriff Arpaio, who built a national profile by creating tent cities for jail inmates and by taking a tough stance on immigration, could reignite the controversy. Last December, the Justice Department accused Arpaio of civil rights abuses, sparking debate over whether his latest “birther” crusade is politically motivated. Arpaid said he began his investigation before that – in August 2011 – after tea party members from Surprise, Ariz., signed a petition challenging the certificate. Joe Arpaio has a history of launching investigations of his enemies, however, be they journalists, judges, Maricopa County Board of Supervisors, you name it. For years, notes the Tucson Citizen (a vocal Obama critic, no less), if you criticized Joe Arpaio, you’d soon be staring down often baseless criminal investigations. Is President Obama a natural-born U.S. citizen?
This isht right here is just NAAAAAAAAAAASTY ! And SMH @ the police officer who arrested them calling them “a different breed.” Three people — a husband and wife, and her lover — have been arrested and charged with conspiracy to commit a sex act with an animal. According to the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office, deputies arrested Pinal County residents Shane Walker and Sarah Dae Walker and Gilbert resident Robert Aucker Monday night. Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio said the trio used the popular Craigslist classified ads website to find a dog to take part in the act. Sarah, 34, intended to have sex with a male golden shepherd mix while her 39-year-old husband and Aucker, 30, watched, Arpaio explained in a news release. This has not the first time Arpaio and his office have been confronted with an animal sex case in which the suspects used Craigslist to find participants. Deputies made arrests in two similar incidents almost exactly a year ago. Last summer, an unemployed handyman was sentenced to two years’ probation after pleading guilty to conspiracy to commit a sex act with an animal. About a month later, a former school teacher pleaded not guilty to one misdemeanor count and was sentenced to one year of supervised probation. Arrested in late February 2011, the perpetrators in both cases used Craigslist to find dogs. In the wake of those arrests, Arpaio wrote to Craigslist CEO Jim Buckmaster and asked him to consider implementing better monitoring on the site to prevent these kinds of solicitation ads. MCSO said Buckmaster never responded. “I remain extremely disappointed in the leadership at Craigslist.com for refusing to do what they can to stop this,” Arpaio said in a news release Tuesday. “While they aren’t doing anything to stop it, I will continue to enforce all animal cruelty laws.” Shane Walker is a flight attendant while his wife is a self-employed photographer. Aucker is a car salesman. MCSO said the trio admitted their plans to detectives during interviews. According to Arpaio, the Walkers describe themselves as “swingers” and have what they call and “open marriage.” Aucker says he and Sarah have been involved in a relationship for about a month. Arpaio said Aucker told detectives Sarah had shared with him her desire to have sex with a dog. According to court documents, the Walkers planned for three weeks, emailing back and forth with the dog’s owner. Investigators said the Walkers and Aucker drove to the arranged location for the express purpose of engaging in sex with the dog. MCSO said the trio offered the dog’s owner, an undercover detective, the opportunity to take part. While the trio state their intent for Sarah to have intercourse with the dog, deputies arrested them before anything happened. “People who do this for enjoyment are a different breed, that’s for certain,” Arpaio said. The Walkers and Aucker made their initial court appearances Tuesday. They were released but are subject to electronic monitoring and are not allowed to leave the state. Both the couple and Aucker also were ordered to give up their dogs. Sex with animals, which is legal in some states, was made a class 6 felony in Arizona in 2006. That law was proposed and passed after Leroy Johnson, a deputy fire chief for Mesa, was arrested in March 2006. Accused of having sex with his neighbor’s lamb, Johnson was charged with disorderly conduct, trespassing and public sexual indecency — all misdemeanor counts. Then-Gov. Janet Napolitano signed the law making intercourse with an animal a felony less than three months later. Conspiracy to commit the act is a misdemeanor. Just disgusting. At what point do you not just look at each other (all THREE of you) and say — ‘This is already pretty freaky, forget the chains, we got some chains and whip cream.’ And these crazy fools already HAD dogs — but they didn’t want to have sex with their dogs. They gotta go fool with some strange dog! And what kind of dog does a golden retriever have to mate with to have ears like that anyway??? Source More On Bossip! Where’s The Meat?

The Justice Department has thrown yet another lawsuit at America’s loony desert dingbat moon colony, Arizona. This one, however, was filed against obnoxious self-serving tyrant Joe Arpaio, sheriff of Maricopa County, for refusing to cooperate in a civil rights investigation. More
Self-designated “America's Toughest Sheriff” Joe Arpaio was heckled off stage at Arizona State University's Walter Cronkite School of Journalism last night via a modified version of Bohemian Rhapsody. Arpaio is, by all reports, exceedingly unpleasant , which makes more sense than ASU students just really liking Queen. Contribute: Add an image, link, video or comment
